Anyone have experience with this situation?


Posted: Sep 9, 2011

Although I'm making a pretty decent income between my full-time and part-time IC jobs, I'm looking to not only make a bit of extra money but also just to have something fun (and a bit more social) to do on the side.

Without naming names (which I believe is against board rules here), I'm checking into two Swavorski crystal independent distiributorship opportunities.  I can't name names, but I believe someone on this forum posted a few months ago about repping for one of these companies on the side and, besides building her own jewelry collection up, she was also making a bit of extra "mad" money. 

Has anyone ventured into one of these distributorships and, if so, what was your experience like?  Were you able to sufficiently collect some nice pieces for your own private collections, have the ability to give "nice" gifts on special occasions, and still make a little extra cash just for yourself?  I'm toying between 2 of the companies (both offer different start-up packages at different investment levels). 

Feel free to email me if you have experience in this area or could offer me any tips about which company affords the most opportunity.

Hope to hear from you (and if you're the poster from a few months back who "inspired" me with this idea, by all means feel free to email me!).

Have a wonderful Friday night, ladies (and gentleman, of course)!

Car SituationOct 31, 2011
Okay, I have an issue here. My mom come into some money a few months ago. She knew how I LOVED VW Beetles, so she took me to pick out a nice used one, and I did. I got a red 2010 VW Beetle. The one stipulation she had was my husband could not drive the car unless I was with him. He doesn't take care of his truck and so she said he wasn't allowed to drive it without me in the car. Well, today he came home and said I don't have any gas in my truck so I'm gonna have to tak ...

What An Experience! Jan 24, 2011
He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow, guided me into his room and quietly shut the door. We were alone. He approached soundlessly from behind and spoke in a soft voice: "Just relax." Without warning, he reached down and soon I felt his strong hands start at my ankles, gently probing, moving steadily upward along my calves. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, yet somehow I just didn't care. His touch was experienced and sure. As his hands moved up my thig ...

Has Anyone Else Experience This ?May 28, 2015
After ten years of having the Wound Care Clinic at the place I work for being my primary account, last week they just disappeared.  I wouldn't have had any warning except that in the body of one report a few weeks ago one of the docs told the patient that they were switching over to EMR.  I know it sounds like nothing, but I have typed for these four physicians for Ten Years, almost exclusively!  I know they don't know that only one person was doing their transcription, ...

Anyone With Experience With This?Oct 23, 2015
Last month, someone charged 300+ in nutrition products to my charge card exactly ten days before it expired, then a few minutes later tried it again.  The card company noticed it and texted me.  I told them that I did not make the charges, so they charged the first one back to the nutrition products seller and declined approval on the second one, and cancelled the card. The online seller, a fitness company, has now submitted their evidence.  They claim I bought it and they shippe ...

Some Opinions On This Situation Jul 29, 2011
I live in a semidetached neighborhood and the neighbors on one side constantly burn a fire pit with wood pallets and whatever in it all the time at least 4 to 5 times a week.  Well our cars next door are covered with ashes from their fire pit and we have new cars.  We have talked to them about this but it does not good.  Any sugestions.  It isnt even worth washing these cars anymore and also you need to keep your windows closed because all the smoke comes in the house.  ...

Family SituationApr 27, 2011
Hello:  Just need somewhere to get this off my mind. I had it out with my youngest niece today over her not going to her GED classes. "I have a headache, I'm tired."  Just all sorts of excuses.  I told her that I was angry with her, that attending classes is mandatory, that I was tired of her excuses.  She basically told me to F--- off and stormed to her room.  Background:  Niece is 18. She moved here with her mother (my sister) and my other niece in ...

A Little Update On My Situation Described Below...Jul 24, 2016
My son called me today to disinvite me to dinner at their house this evening.  He said his GF was still upset and felt like he didn't defend her.  He told me he was trying to be neutral, but she took as he was on my side and now they've been fighting.  So now I'm banned until she "cools off."  All because I said he was too young for a vasectomy.  I also said she was too young to get her tubes tied, but whatever!  When I expressed concern about being a ...

Need Some Advice On A Situation While Out For 4thJul 06, 2014
I went out to 4th celebrations with an old friend who was in town.  We decided to hit a couple of bars after the fireworks.  We dated many, many moons ago right out of high school.  I really liked him then.  Since then he's had problems with the law and drinks quite a bit.  The night seemed to go okay at first.  But he got more and more drunk.  He began to wander away at the bar and chat up lots of women.  He would occasionally wander back to me almos ...

After grandmother bought her the house, she and her boyfriend got ...

Past ExperienceJun 06, 2011
Anyone ever have a person in their past that they miss and can't get out of their heads; you just wish they would somehow walk back into your life just to be near them again if only for a moment to feel what you used to feel? Does that sound pathetic? If you tell someone this they tell you to let it go, but you really don't want to - you just want to hold on. ...

Does Anyone Have Any Experience Making Jul 04, 2012
I got interested in this after hearing a radio show about fermented foods and the recipe seemed simple, cabbage, salt, let  it sit out for 4 weeks or so and there you have it.  My cabbage has been sitting out for a couple of weeks now and is actually sort of looking like the sauerkraut you get in the cans.  Has anyone ever made this, eaten it and lived to tell the tale?  Thanks and happy 4th!  ...

Wondering If Anyone Else Has Had This ExperienceJul 21, 2012
I recently said on another board I was glad I did not have any friends because no one can say do it for the kids.  Well, when I talk about my anxiety and depression, I get very sick and tired of people saying it is because I do not have enough faith.  Believe me, I do.  Or I did anyway.  I have asked to be filled with the holy spirit.  I have begged for a miracle.  Not sure what else to do, but it is CHEMICAL.  Has nothing to do with faith.   Off soapbox ...

Does Anyone Have Experience With BankruptcyNov 22, 2016
I am looking at filing bankruptcy soon and am looking for any insight anyone can give me.  I'm not sure I will even be able to file as I have no assets.  I don't own a house or a car.  I just have massive credit card dept.  Years ago I made almost 70,000 a year.  Now I'm barely making one-third of that.  Most of my credit card dept is groceries, through over a year ago I purchased a washer and drier, and had a ramp put on the front of the house I live ...

Hi, first I wanna say I think it's awesome that there is a prayer request area on here.  :) Anyway, I'm going through a lot of trials right now, and I really need God to show me what to do.  My house is in foreclosure ("under review" for a workout plan so I'm in limbo and at their mercy), my health is not good right now (IDDM, hypothyroidism, et. al.), I am very unhappy at my job (full time orthopedic transcription but lots of stress and mean people; wanting to go ...

Prayers For Driving SituationMay 13, 2012
I would like to ask for prayers for my step-mom who is going for her driver's license renewal tomorrow.  She has macular degeneration but drives daily with no problems.  Since her eye doctor filled out a form for the DMV with her vision results on it, she has been told it will not meet the requirements to renew her license, but she is going to try anyway. She is an independent lady and does so much for others.  If she doesn't get her licensed renewed I'm ...

Need Some Advice About A Family Situation. SMAug 06, 2014
Six months ago, I filed for divorce. At that time, my daughter and I moved in with my sister and her family at my sister's invitation. I did not ask to move in and was going to stay with my mother until I found a place to rent, but my sister offered and since my sister lives in the same small town as I do, close to my daughter's school and friends, I accepted. So my 13yo daughter and I moved in with my sister, brother-in-law, and 20yo nephew. Everything was going fine. I was paying t ...

How Does The FBI Investigate An Ongoing SituationMar 22, 2017
I understand how the FBI investigated Clinton's use of email. That was in the past by the time they got involved and there were records, people, and documentation they could look into. How does the FBI investigate an ongoing situation, like the Trump campaign's involvement with Russia, without surveillance? If they're not monitoring communications, how could they say there is no evidence of collusion? If the FBI is involved (as we know they are) then Obama's Justice D ...

My mother, age 92, with dementia, just passed away.  My estranged brother coerced her behind my back, to leave her retirement condo near me to move in with him.  I am the executrix of her willl, and everything was to be divided equally between my brother and me.  I just found out that he's taken most of her money and put it into a couple POD (pay on death) accounts in his name.  She has a couple small accounts that amount to maybe $67k.  The estate is wort ...

Any Experience With Sylvan Or Huntington LCMar 17, 2010
My 11 YOS is really struggling this year (5th grade). I know it's late in the school year, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Sylvan or Huntington Learning Centers. I've tried desperately to work with his teacher, but am getting nowhere fast. He has ADD, which she is fully aware of, and he is on medication, but he is still struggling. I'm considering one of these facilities and would like any info anyone has about either one of these centers...thanks! ...

Anyone Have Experience Selling Coins?Jun 28, 2011
I recently discovered that some old money I have had for decades is actually worth something.  Most of it is US silver coins, but I have some old foreign money both coin and banknotes that are selling on EBay for thousands times their face value.   I know there is a difference between what a coin dealer will give you and what the money retails for, but I really can't invest the time in putting them up for auction myself.  But, I don't want to give them away.&nb ...
