Now that's what I call "quality time."

Bathroom web cams?

If online porn isn't on the list, then why read TFA?

There is now a farking word for women who make a living selling shiat on ebay. Sure, I guess. Why not?

/I'm going to go to my room now.
//If you hear the sound of me screaming and breaking shiat, it's probably fine.

Approves:



\obscure? I hope not.

Used to know a woman who would buy close-outs @ Lane Bryant and sell them on e-bay to women in the midwest. She made serious bank and they were happy because they had decent clothes they didn't have to buy at Walmart.

/she started it 10 years ago and she's still doing well

thereadlines: Now that's what I call "quality time."

What hell may look like.

/Just kidding, I love kids.
//No, not like that, arseholes.

Jacques is NEVER obscure.

/read them as a child
//loved them
///now kinda dislike them

I'm so glad they never made films out of those.

/one childhood memory that remains unraped

My friend's mom does something like that. She applies for all those contests online. She has at least 4 trips to Cancun and to Europe. Also won a Britney Spear's outfit back when she was still hot and not as crazy. Sold it on Ebay for a lot of money.

They honestly couldn't have chosen a better picture? thats one ugly kid.

Hell yeah,
Martin the Warrior was the first No-Kidding novel I ever read.
I think I was 7 at the time.
Loved me some Redwall books.

H_is_for_Heretic: I'm so glad they never made films out of those.

Sorry.

They've been called "camwhores" for years now, no reason to change an already accurate term.

You can babysit over the internet?! Baaaaad idea.

Number41: H_is_for_Heretic: I'm so glad they never made films out of those.

Sorry.

Goddammitsomuch- like the Narnia films, they'll gear up for a franchise and most people will lose interest by the second or third. Somehow the official site isn't loading for me- live action or animated?

/wish Rankin-Bass could do it

Can a mousewife earn enough money to take a staycation, or buy her husband a trip to the spa for some manscaping?

Actually, there's a more pressing question. How the hell do you pluralize that? Mousewives? Micewife?

Reminds me of a story I read in a womans' erotica book.

Velvetelvitron: You can babysit over the internet?! Baaaaad idea.

That's what I was thinking...Sure many housewives make money babysitting, but that doesn't belong in an article about ways they make money using the internet.

So not the pieholes then, got it.

H_is_for_Heretic - live action or animated?

may never see the light of day...

Wow..must be nice to stay at home all day and play on the computer while someone else supports your lazy-arse.

I know a "stay at home mom" whose kids are 20 and 25 years old. Only one of them even lives at home and that's because he's finishing up university. As nice as she is, wtf is wrong with you that you can't get a job once your kids are adults?

Mousewife I'd Like to Fark.

These new idiotic additions to the English language make me very stabby. I need a mancation.

Would make a good mousewife.

my wife buys clothing for all four of our children as massive mark-downs (what i like to call, "what they're actually worth"). Like $50 - $80 stuff for $3 to $20 tops.

i'm not into brand names but she is - so it's all stuff like polo, lucky, nautica, etc.. If she was paying full price for that stuff i'd probaby have a stroke.

she takes excellent care of all the clothes. when outgrown she sells them on eBay. She always makes what she paid for them and most of the time gets 200% to 400% what she paid - if not more. example, $3 bathing suit (originally $35) for our daughter just sold for $25.

we've basically been using the same $500 to clothe our children for 5 years now.

i'm 100% for her staying home and doing that. it's awesome.

eventually she'll go back to work but in the meantime she does more than most wives i know to help out financially when they aren't working.

So its someones lonely wife pretending to be a Nigerian lawyer who just got $400 million and needs me to send him $30,000 so i can get $100 million of it?


Those evil biatches!

/hates those meeses to pieces.

Rather defeats the purpose of actually parenting the children, doesn't it?

The Narnia BBC series was pretty sweet, though.

Mousewifes, beware of the Catmen!

There can be problems, as this epidsode from The World Around Us shows:

You do realize why that particular bathing suit sold for $25, don't you?

/would have paid more for it if it hadn't been washed
//why is there a little bear at my front door??
///taking my used crap to goodwill is a better use of my time and tax deductions, thankyaverrrrrrmuch

I saw the headline and figured an article on "Mousewives" would be about abused wives. Thought, "wow, that's a really odd term for a battered woman. WTF are those Brits thinking?"

/What are you called if you're a wife, have a full-time job, AND run an eBay business then?

Yes, You can shop outlet clearance sales, goodwill, Salvation Army, Caring & Sharing...and sell the mdse on ebay and earn 500% markup. Ebay takes a slice, paypal takes a slice, packaging time and gas takes a slice. It's not for the faint of heart.

I like when my wife shops 75-90% off and my wife goes on Fridays to get an extra 20% off. Sometimes she gets things for .95 that were 29.99.

Most people do not have the drive, ambition, motivation, optimism and smarts to do it to make bank.

I have a sexy mousewife. With skillz.

New keyboard, please. Kthxbai.

Saw this ad on Craigslist...

Biker dude with righteous sled seeks biker chick for weekday parties and weekend partying. Interesting tattoos a plus. Send pic of tattoos. Could turn into regular house mouse gig.

It's a busy day for the modern American housewife. After hubby jetpacks off to work in the City and she gets Dick and Jane off to school, she sets the Robovac to clean the living room and puts the laundry in the Atomic drycleaning machine, then settles down to the home computing set to make some pin money for those little extras that mean so much to her family, such as healthcare, education and food.

What's that little Sally? "You've got a bo-bo? Just give Mommy a moment to finish arranging this party in Bueno Aires and Mommy will kiss it away1"

Next Mommy has to present a tele-visual report to the Head Office in Shanghai and then find Sally's bankie. Then she feeds Spot and Puff and sorts out the filing system of her boss in Melbourne, Australia.

The modern housewife is nothing if not adaptable and ingenious in pursuit of the welfare of her family. Who would guess that the pretty party dress that Mommy intends to wear to Canasta with the Johnsons was won from a Mexican drug lord in a Poker game? or that Mommy's daytrading in Eastman Kodak stock means roast beef for Sunday dinner?

Yes, Little Sally doesn't know it, but modern Mommies are Jills of All Trades. Just now Mommy is putting some slabs of frozen soup into the Armani microwave for lunch and then it's back to the Teletype keyboard to watch the Mexico-Canada border for commies. America won't be caught napping the next time like we were in Alaska, you betcha!

Mommy doesn't know it but the smugglers she catches while waiting for lunch to warm belong to the gang of the same Mexican drug lord pays for Mommy's bling-bling because he has a tell and she's the only player in the world to catch on to it so far.

Yes, it's a hard day's work for Mommy and it isn't even Noon yet.

brantgoose, that was beautiful. I even heard it in this voice.

How is "typing" a job? how do they send you the stuff you need to type in a way that doesn't require to type it?

TuesdayClub: Jacques is NEVER obscure.

/read them as a child
//loved them
///now kinda dislike them
////slashies

I read the first three, then gave up on the series when I realized Jacques is a filthy speciesist who's perpetuating stereotypes against "evil" weasels and other carnivores.

Kenneth Grahame could get away with that in "Wind in the Willows" because he was a farking Edwardian Englishmen. What's Jacques' excuse these days?

/actually thought "mousewife" was a Beatrix Potter term.

thereadlines: Now that's what I call "quality time."

Came here to say this; saw that it was already taken care of. That pic is farking epic.

punto: How is "typing" a job? how do they send you the stuff you need to type in a way that doesn't require to type it?

If you are a medical transcriptionist, you would listen to a tape, and type as you go. Sometimes handwritten notes or bookkeeping from loose receipts needs to be typed.

I see your point though. Any e-mails sent would be automatically typed, so getting someone else to type them would be pointless.

runslothrun: $3 bathing suit (originally $35) for our daughter just sold for $25.

WTF? People buy used bathing suits?

I'm sorry, but isn't that akin to buying used underwear?

/do you KNOW who bought your daughter's used swimsuit?

I thought these people where just called telecommuters.
