No, I really don't. I've been told that I'm good at it, but I don't enjoy it.

Aside from work, where it's a pretty regular occurrence, the last time I recall was when we bought our car, about four years ago.

[piperspal]

Do you like to negotiate ?
What a great question Karla! I like the idea of negotiating & admire it in others. I'm still a bit timid when I'm the one looking to buy.
I do the flower stands for several local fairs & festivals; and I'm much better on the selling end of negotiating.
Rarely do I say no to someone's offer.

What are some of the things they have now that you wish were around when you were younger ?
All things internet & computer related. Maybe if we had had them in school as today's kids do; I wouldn't be such a techno-flunkie!

Other than "chat type" sites ,what other websites do you check through out the day ?
Mostly floral wholesalers, small biz links. A you tube video maybe, if my nieces or nephews send it, etc.

Does your alarm clock wake with beeping or with music ?
Both - but I just leave it in the guest room. I wake up on my own most of the time & have my dogs to help should I even think of sleeping in!

How many times do you usually hit the snooze alarm ?
My dogs are my alarm & they do not believe in the snooze button feature. My eye found that out the hard way a few weeks ago.
