BEING A VICTIM ... OR NOT? - ProMT

[ In Reply To ..]
The people I respect the most are the ones who have been victims of various things or people, but what I remember most are the ones who say, "You are only a victim if you choose to be!" None of us can go through life without being a victim of someone or something; it is how you accept it, deal with it, and move on in a positive way which is the most important factor.

You are very wise. Victimhood can make you stronger, - and it should.

"Victimhood can make you stronger"? No, not allowing yourself to be - a victim makes you stronger! nm

Selling A CarJan 09, 2013
I have a 2006 Hyundai that I bought used about 6 months ago. It's a decent car, but it is manual transmission and it is just not working out. I like driving it but no one else does, so it is just sitting in my driveway. We decided to sell it outright and look for an automatic transmission car. The husband wants a Honda Pilot. We currently own a 2007 Honda Odyssey, old 1990 Ford truck, and the Tucson. This couple contacted me, looked at the car, offered $900 less from my asking, which I acc ...

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 ...

Selling House And Moving After Feb 26, 2017
It looks like I may have to sell the house before I lose it due to lack of income.  It has about 30 grand in equity, in the state it is in (50 with 15 g of work).  But, the task seems to daunting due to my age (59), I am virtually alone, and I have no idea where to move except out of California.  The problem may not be unfamiliar to others in our industry so maybe you can relate.  Though I have no real bills other than the mtg and utilities, I have very little accessible cash ...

Selling Avon Online?Oct 21, 2015
One of my friends on FB messaged me the other day about selling avon online.  I guess you set up your own "store" online, and let friends know about it, etc.  I think she is just trying to get reps under her so she can make a commission, I am assuming. Anyway, does anyone know if you can really make much money with this?   ...

Vent On Girl Scouts And Cookie Selling - SmMar 09, 2010
Just a vent, frustrated at one my younger daugher's troop leaders.  They have a goal of 170 boxes per girl to sell.  Generally if she gets 30 boxes on her own we are lucky  I drive them to all the neighbors (14), and hit up grandparents (have agreement with siblings not to bug them with this sort of stuff), and we sell about 60 boxes that way.  But.I have two daughers in two different troops.  So I take them out soliciting here and they split the sales.&nb ...

Obama Campaign Selling Birth CertificateMay 22, 2011
President Obama's reelection campaign is turning a conspiracy theory that had long dogged the president into a snarky fundraising tool, selling merchandise depicting Obama and his complete long form birth certificate.

The campaign is also giving away coffee mugs with the same design scheme to sup ...
