making money without a job

yeah but we treat mushrooms like vegetables .. anyway, you live in an area where you can dig up some ginseng? or are you crafty enough to make patchwork clothes or hemp accessories?if you were daring you could always ehem, grow some pot and sell it.. but i wouldnt recommend it haha drug dealing is bad news. how bout a lemondade stand or a carwash? haha. yardsales are great til you realize youve gotten rid of everything and havent made enough money to do crap with.well... um, not to sound pessimistic but for someone who hasnt gone to college yet its pretty hard to find a way to make money without working at taco bell or something but have you checked the on campus jobs? sometimes you can find mini jobs to help out on campus and your boss whoever it is is probably not gonna be as big of an asshole as a fast food type boss. i had a buddy who loved plants and found a parttime job at a greenhouse and loved it.. had a hippy boss who seemed more like a buddy than a boss.. with luck you might just find a job that you enjoy regardless of the fact that you work for someone else. dont have too many ideas on how to make money avoiding the boss factor, but with a creative mind you can probably think something up.. i would recommend something legal though. are you smart enough to tutor?

 

Your catching up Claire! But we aren't as old as Paul!

My mother used to sing My Old Man's A Dustman and I used to wail with laughter at the mushroom joke....sad I know.:H

 

Sorry about all the smilies....first bong in ages!:sunglasse



And a few valium....

 

set up a fortune cookie stand.. make your own fortune cookies im sure you can find the recipe on the internet... and insert absurd fortunes and charge 50 cents a peice.... or steal the toilet paper from the bathrooms and charge people for it as the enter... haha no you'll probably just get the crap beat out of you .. hmmm.. wracking my brain here..... start making your own newspaper once a week and selling it for ten cents.. of course it wouldnt have to be fancy but some very creative and interesting idea would have to be attatched to it. or next time your parents go on vacation you could sell all of THEIR stuff.. now that would be a quick fix.. but again you may just get the crap beaten outta ya. do you have some money to invest in setting up some candy machines somewhere? probably not. plus by the time you made profit you'd probably be outta college. ... you could always offer to clean after party dorm rooms for a small price. hahaha.

 

Maybe not, but I still can't remember it :sunglasse

 

eeek you took the valium off the dok?... is it helping?

I miss weed, i didnt really smoke it much till Amsterdam.... and after 4 days of solid smokies.... i am hooked... with no suppy!!!!

Here are pressies for you Paul and Claire both.....




My Old Man's A Dustman
Lonnie Donegan

[Derived from an old army tune]
[Lyrics written by Lonnie Donegan]


Now here's a little story
To tell it is a must
About an unsung hero
That moves away your dust
Some people make a fortune
Other's earn a mint
My old man don't earn much
In fact....he's flippin'.....skint

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper narner
In his great big hob nailed boots
He's got such a job to pull em up
That he calls them daisy roots

Some folks give tips at Christmas
And some of them forget
So when he picks their bins up
He spills some on the steps
Now one old man got nasty
And to the council wrote
Next time my old man went 'round there
He punched him up the throat

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

I say, I say Duncan
I 'er...I found a police dog in my dustbin
(How do you know he's a police dog)
He had a policeman with him

Though my old man's a dustman
He's got a heart of gold
He got married recently
Though he's 86 years old
We said 'Ear! Hang on Dad
you're getting past your prime'
He said 'Well when you get to my age'
'It helps to pass the time'

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

I say, I say, I say
My dustbins full of lillies
(Well throw 'em away then)
I can't Lilly's wearing them

Now one day while in a hurry
He missed a lady's bin
He hadn't gone but a few yards
When she chased after him
'What game do you think you're playing'
She cried right from the heart
'You've missed me...am I too late'
'No... jump up on the cart'

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

I say, I say, I say (What you again)
My dustbin's absolutely full with toadstools
(How do you know it's full)
'Cos there's not much room inside

He found a tiger's head one day
Nailed to a piece of wood
The tiger looked quite miserable
But I suppose it should
Just then from out a window
A voice began to wail
He said (Oi! Where's me tiger head)
Four foot from it's tail

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
Next time you see a dustman
Looking all pale and sad
Don't kick him in the dustbin
It might be my old dad

 

I remember the song now ... just didn't know it was by Lonnie Donegan

 

Thank Gawd for that Paul I was begining to think it was just me!

 

Ohh that one

Noo I don't remember it at all...honest

 

I sware I just saw Tim Leary floating passed with a money making idea....

 

Thats it....build a website about 'answers to how people can make any money'...and charge them a quid for your advice!!!:H

 

Sell your soul on eBay!

 

like this one you mean>

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2992&item=5517992655&rd=1

 

Saying that about selling your soul on ebay... There was this guy who sold his virginity on ebay to make money for uni. and there is aparently currently this man who is selling his friendship on ebay and says he'll send 2 emails and 2 letters a week and he'll be a shoulder to cry on... aparently it was at £10. you could sell a kidney on ebay!

 

Hehe, exactly like that one. Reminds me of the time my friend tried selling her virginity on eBay... needless to say that didn't last long.

 

I had so many great ideas for you.

Firstly I was going to suggest you dig a hole and then sell people the dirt from your hole but someone's beat you to it: http://www.cp-tel.net/pasqualy/hole/

Then I thought, hey, why not sell cool (or crappy) bits of paper branded as funky origami but alas someone has beaten me to that as well: http://www.origamiboulder.com/

Ebay's great for getting rid of your unwanted things. You can also sell your books/music/movies etc. on Amazon to help pay the bills

 

Buy dirty old clothes from car boot sales and charity shops, and sell them on via ebay.

I bought a filthy old trenchcoat for a pound, and sold it for five on ebay!

Four pounds profit!! Thats like, a pouch of drum! or twentie royals!

Life is sweet.

 

Stealing from old nearly dead people, it's practically a victimless crime. You can go into their houses if you say you need to read their meter. Works a treat.
