[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 482975, member: 1233"] Janet, have you checked your credit with all 3 credit bureaus? Finding your name as if you had a business is a huge red flag for identity theft. Considering all the problems you have had with neighbors in the past, I would get that checked TODAY. Nancy, the mom and pop gas station thing isn't advertised. They don't even tell regulars about it most of the time. I know only because I overheard them. IF she is making a sincere effort to be frugal or at least reasonable, and she would be open to this, consider getting a copy of The tightwad Gazette for her. It is a book, well 3 of them but you can get them in one big book and save some $$) that has a ton of different ways to save $$. I like it with the kids because it shows how they figured out how much something cost and it shows how to compare prices before you buy things. I know it seems logical to me, but not all people can see that. in my opinion it would be an awesome Xmas or birthday gift. the prices they quote are way out of date (I have had the books for 2o years, got the first one the first xmas husband and I were married) but the ideas, concepts and recipes aren't. the recipes in it are doable, usually easy, and mostly are cheap or are cheaper than a brand name or restaurant equivalent. Does she cook? If she likes to eat out, consider getting one of the Top Secret Recipe cookbooks, or the Americas Most Wanted Recipe cookbooks. The guy who writes the Top Secret books also has a tv show (I think it is on CMT) so it might catch her interest. The Top Secret/Amer Most Wanted Recipes books offer alternatives to eating out that can still give you the taste of many favorite foods. I have found that a lot of the college age kids around here will try a Top Secret type of recipe even if they would never try the same thing out of a regular cookbook. [/QUOTE]
