Twin Beam Laser Light
BOTH and LED & Laser Pointer...

List Price: $9.99
DEAL PRICE: $2.99

This little light does so much that it is impossible not
to love it! First it's a powerful LED light that will last
for up to 100,000 hours.

This LED is on a gooseneck attach-ment that allows you to
move it in ANY directions. It's great as a book light or
even auto repairs.

Need to do a presentation? No worries.. this little item
(base is just 2 1/2", Fully extended it is 6 1/2") has a
red laser pointer that can reach up to 500 feet!

It has a clip that makes it easy to clip to your shirt
pocket a book or even a compartment in a purse.

But what is REALLY, REALLY cool about this item is the
bottom of the base is magnetized. So you can stick it on
a magnetic surface and position the light any way you need
it.... giving you hands-free operation! Grab one or two,
but there is a limit of six (6) per order.

STRUGGLING MOM SUSPECTS IT'S TIME TO LET MAN GO

DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing a guy, "Casey," for three
years. I have two children by another man, and Casey took
them on as if they were his. They even call him "Daddy." I'm
grateful I have someone who takes such good care of my kids.
I can see myself spending the rest of my life with him.

There's just one problem. Casey has a hard time keeping a
job. He has had more than a dozen jobs during the last three
years. The only income we have is mine, and it's not very
much. We struggle quite a bit, and we fight about money.
Things would be better if Casey would get a job and keep it,
but I can't get him to understand that. Sometimes I feel like
he's using me.

I want to stay with Casey, but now and then I also think I'd
be better off if I left him. What can I do to make him under-
stand that he needs to keep a job? Or, because I love him,
should I stand beside him no matter what?
-- BREADWINNER IN OHIO

DEAR BREADWINNER: If Casey doesn't understand after three
years that you need an equal partner in the relationship, I
doubt you'll ever get that message through to him. As it
stands, you appear to have a live-in baby sitter "with bene-
fits." Add to that the fact that on some level you sense you
are being used and would be better off without him, and I
conclude that day care would not only be less expensive, it
would also provide you a chance to meet a man who's willing
to pull his own weight. Right now it appears you have three
dependents.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I both work two jobs, and we have
raised three wonderful children. Over the years we have
watched our friends build bigger and bigger homes, drive
fancy cars and take extended trips to exotic locations while
my husband and I work paycheck to paycheck.

What bothers me is that many of my girlfriends were "gold
diggers" who stole wealthy men from other women, and some
of the men seem to make money by doing illegal things.
They're all living high on the hog while I dodge bill collec-
tors.

I thought I was making good decisions and being morally re-
sponsible, but apparently the "nice guy/nice gal comes in
last." When do these people get what's coming to them, and
when do I get a break?
-- NICE GAL IN OHIO

DEAR NICE GAL: How about starting right now? Start by
shedding those people from your life whom you find morally
reprehensible and look for some whose values more closely
resemble your own. And instead of obsessing about others
"getting what's coming to them," concentrate on improving
your own life.

If you're dodging bill collectors, find a credit counseling
agency to help you deal with them. It won't happen overnight,
but things will improve as you get your financial life in
order. Find a credit counseling agency that is approved by
your Better Business Bureau or affiliated with the National
Foundation for Credit Counseling or the Association of
Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies.
