• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Am calling all bookstores. I took an aptitude test in high school and it said my most likely choice of job was bookstore.
I worked in a Waldenbooks once, when son was a toddler.
Already applied at a boutique (they sell water pipes).
I keep calling them.

Are they accepting applications? What are you doing for food and money as I remember last week you said you were down to your last $40. HowardDean, I feel for your situation as my financial situation isn't the best either. I spent a good portion of my day having to work out payment plans with some bill collectors. We ended up owing the government money this year and we were completely unprepared for this :(

Keep fasting and praying and remaining in faith. The strongest faith is the one that continues on through the dark night. Just like when you do sit-ups, the first 25 aren't the ones that cut up your abs, it's the last 5 but you have to do the first 25 to get to the hard core, ab ripping last 5 situps. I know, a poor analogy but the only one I could come up with on the spot.

Yes, I called and they said yes. I mailed my application in as I hadn't wanted to spend bus money (I have a little more right now).
I do not care what they sell (bongs), a job is a job.
When my son was 1 and 2, I was working as a dancer, had my parents watch him til my mom had her stroke and couldn't anymore. Had a christian neighbor he liked and she was going to sit him but she refused because she would be condoning my sin by watching him so I could work.
I then quit and got on assistence.

Working in a book store sounds right up your alley, as you love to read!! Up my alley too, but they don't have overnights and that's what I'm looking for.

Your local newspaper should be online and have all the help-wanted ads in there - then you can search by keywords. It's a great way to hunt for jobs; it's how I've been doing it and beats poring through the paper for hours.

HEy Rose this whole thing reminds me of myself last year when I HAD to find a job or we would have been in debt.. (not that we are not now...) I was looking for a job anywhere... I finally found a job at Sears... it was good pay as a saleman/assosiate selling mattresses.. I was not bad pay either and they pay your training. See if it close to your home... The only bummer is that they will not give you insurance until 6 months later...

I am so happy for you that you are getting the ball rolling... Do not forget God is helping you along... I searched for 4 months before I could get a job....

Orthodoxa you are God-sent.. and a great motivator :)
