The Sweetest thing happened to me yesterday afternoon I just have to share with the world!

If you are married or dating someone long enough you will probably be able to relate to a situation where you say something you can't take back and you think the other person is very upset with you.

This happened to my husband and I yesterday when what started out as a teasing email over a birthday gift led to an email about our anniversary which is the day after his birthday. Needless to say most women even me (I admit it) can be touchy on the topic of anniversaries and birthdays. Most especially when one thinks that her husband has forgotten their first anniversary or doesn't care about it.

It has been a wonderful year. No fights to speak of and we get along great so I was a bit furious when I thought he didn't really care about our anniversary. Next thing you know I must of said something he didn't like because he emailed and said something like, "If your going to act that way, I will talk to you later." As most women can imagine that only made it worse. So I thought for a second and decided not to reply to just let it go especially since I was still at work.

Having came to work a little late I was still here at 10 after 5 when he came in with 2 roses in a vase. I couldn't believe it. No one has ever brought me roses at work or anything similar. The card reads, "I have not forgotten our anniversary. I love you very much."

I could have died and I didn't know what to say.

If you are in a bad relationship and can get out do so. I say this because I stayed in one for years for the kids, for fear, and for lack of courage & money. Leaving was so hard and money was tight. I thought at times I couldn't do it but I did. I went back to school and got not one but two degrees and now I came across the best man I could ask for. He made up for all the horrible things I went through the first time in less than a year.

I appreciate him and love him dearly.

P.S. If ever he comes across this and reads it I hope he knows I appreciate his patience and supporting love while I expand my business investments and through the opening of Starr's Discount Store.

Wholesale Supplier(s)

Since I sell on Ebay and I have opened my own online store I am clearly in need of finding the best deals for the best products. I will be adding wholesale distributor information as often as I can about the supplier(s) that I use most often and why I selected them.

Today I am going to talk about Doba.com and how they have changed over the last several weeks. When I first signed up I soon started to regret all the money I had spent. The truth be told I wasn't ready to make such a large step because I wasn't selling enough and I hadn't researched how drop shipping worked. I didn't need to spend that much money I thought on a part time business. Insane right? No, I wasn't losing my mind I was making a very good investment I told myself.

So I did what any women in her right mind would do. I talked to my husband and I called my parents and asked them for advice. I did all of this knowing my husband was supporting my decisions and behind any venture I try so long as I have the potential to make our money back and I am not spending our food money.

My parents are supportive as well and I have to say Thank you to everyone in my life that has been there for me. That being said now I can get back to what advice I was given.

They all told me to give it a try since I was already paid up for a month anyways. My first month I paid by the month not sure even after the trial it was what I needed. So I did use that month to begin testing the waters on Ebay. Don't get me wrong I have a long way to go before I have perfected anything but I am currently making around $450.00 a month in profit when before I was only making maybe $50-100.

I can't see spending hundreds of dollars on a monthly plan that can be so much cheaper if you pay for it by the year. So that is what I had reluctantly done. I am so happy I did that now. I did make the mistake of not using Doba very much during my free trial. But I did however use it enough that $30.00 of what I spent on the annual membership was profit from selling 2 items that I ordered through Doba and sold on Ebay using their drop ship method.

I am still not a 100% believer I can get rich on Ebay using Doba but I am certain of this much: I have already made enough profit to cover the cost of another year membership.

Doba does offer a Free Trial so why not sign up and take a peak. You may cancel anytime during the 7 day trial period if you don't want it or don't like it. I am not trying to mislead you into thinking this is your guaranteed chance to make the hugest difference in your life because it isn't. Like all other programs or memberships it is a gamble and the only person that can make it a success is you.

Keep in mind this takes drive and determination to make work. If you have never sold on an online auction site or you do not have a storefront wether it is online or an actual building you may not want to do this right now. Online auction sites will only make you money after you learn how to use them.

Later I will post information on where you can go to learn about various programs for free. I do not believe you should pay for what you can get for free.

I will say this though if you sign up for one month or more through this link and give this an serious try I will personally reimburse you 10.00 via paypal.com all you need to do is email me at info@starrsdiscountstore.com with doba sign up in the subject box and tell me what date you paid for your first months service. Please do not pay until you must though use that free trial first!

This week in Starr's world!

I will be relaunching the opening of my store located at www.starrsdiscountstore.com and sprucing up my listings on Ebay located at http://stores.ebay.com/starrfinancial?refid=store as well as my My World page.

Will be considering hiring a part time employee in the very near future to help with adding more items to the store and tracking changes. This will be only a few hours in the beginning but I would anticipate that more hours could be earned with good job performance. This would likely be a pay per listing position. Something easily done from home and/or from anywhere. Pay would be through Paypal. If you do not have a paypal account you may apply here.

I prefer someone with some online Auction or store selling experience. If you have an interest please send an email to Starr

Welcome Everyone!

Please enjoy your visit but remember to keep it light hearted and clean please. I am in the process of trying to get my online store off and running. I would welcome any and all feedback.



A little about me: I am 33 mother of 4 and grandmother of 1 at the present time. I am less than a month away from my first year anniversary from my wonderful husband who is being very supportive in all of my adventures.
