I’m 100% sure its a scam but my mom filled the form out and everything. She gave her address, phone etc. Will anything bad happen? I’m just really scared and paranoid right now.

Thanks in advance

Home working is frequently a bit difficult because there are so many criminals who are out to scam you. I have been working from home in recent times, I stumbled upon some really awesome tips and tricks on the site in the box below which showed me the most effective route to go about it.

Question by ASD & DYS Mum: Homeschooling parents: What are your top 5 gadgets you can’t do without when HS’ing?
I thought it would be fun to see everyone’s top 5 “gadgets” you can’t do without when homeschooling. Here’s my list:

1. large paper cutter
2. electric pencil sharpener
3. high-quality three-hole punch
4. laminator
5. comb binding machine

What are your top five?
Edited to say:

Can some of you not read??? It says “Homeschooling parents”. I did *not* ask for opinions or rants about homeschooling.
Edit for bigmamma:

A comb binder binds papers together with the plastic “combs” that are solid on the spine, but have little “curls” that wrap around the paper in little rectangular holes that the machine cuts.

It’s hard to explain, but I know you’ve seen comb-bound materials, you just may not have known the name.

I love them to make unit booklets and attach groups of worksheets. It keeps everything so nice “on the go”. I also like how you can fold the pages back on themselves. So sometimes I take the bindings off of workbooks and then comb bind them. You can also have an office supply store do it for you. I purchased mine free (and the materials) with my office supply store reward card (did the same w/ my laminator).

Question by Butrusman: WHO WAS iN THE WRONG HERE. ME OR MY BOSS?
I’ve had a few runs ins with my employer, basically because I don’t lick his ass I get treated like shit but anyway.

I’ll explain this first, I work in a large factory all split on diferent sections, there are 5 people in my section, but as our work ran out as we got or holidays yesterday I was sent to a different part of the factory, This part of the factory makes laminate wooded floors, the heat reaches 40′c due to the machines used. Portuguese workers work in that part of the factory as they are the only people who can stick the heat. Anyway I almost fainted with heat and my bloody presure was sky high.

On Friday I got sent back to this room, I said to the boss I am not going, My bloody pressure is sky high, he said well tough not my problem, if you dont go you’ll get sacked.

It was just me that got sent to this part of the factory, my fellow workers in my section played cards with the boss.

Is this fair? I mean I have had high blood pressure all my life

Question by Mc K: A Lamination Question!!?
I laminated a classroom book about a week ago. I think the lamination machine wasn’t hot enough because in some places it didn’t stick and adhere at all.

Can I place it on place the book on an ironing board, cover it with a towel and iron it together? Does lamination film work AFTER THE FACT? or is it…sort-of ruined?

Best answer:

Answer by CT

I’ve never tried ironing it.
