How much is TOO much?
If you love your job, how many hours a week spent working are too much?
If you find your perfect outfit but cringe at the price, how much is too much? When you're gifted with your favorite candy but no one else likes it; how much of it is too much? You're at a party and have to drive home... the drinks are flowing and are going down easy... how much is too much? Your best friend wants to come stay at your home... how much time is too much?

If you love your job, how many hours a week spent working are too much? I don't think any amount of time is too much if you really love it, as long as your family is not suffering for it.
If you find your perfect outfit but cringe at the price, how much is too much? As much as you can afford and also be able to pay your bills. When you're gifted with your favorite candy but no one else likes it; how much of it is too much? As much as you can eat and still be healthy. You're at a party and have to drive home... the drinks are flowing and are going down easy... how much is too much? If I am the designated driver for the evening, I never have more than one drink...or two if we are there for a REALLY long time. But I always drink water or something nonalcoholic towards the end of the night and also eat throughout the night while I'm sipping on my beverage. Your best friend wants to come stay at your home... how much time is too much?[/QUOTE] As long as she needs to without harming your friendship with her or being an inconvenience to your family. I would also be a good friend by helping her get stable and help her find a place of her own. And maybe help her out financially so she can get stable.

If you love your job, how many hours a week spent working are too much? I think that home and family should come first, so as long as they're not suffering or being pushed aside then I guess that how many hours you work is up to you. Just make sure that you're looking at things from your family's perspective to decide, not your own. I have a SIL that does craft shows this time of year and she works a lot of hours during the day and into the evening. Does her family suffer? Yes, they do. She's too busy making things to cook, clean, or even be home. It's a really sad situation. Her kids are 12, 10, 6, 2.
If you find your perfect outfit but cringe at the price, how much is too much? If it's something that I really like and I know that I'll wear it a lot I don't mind paying a lot more. You definitely need to make sure that you have money to pay bills first. When you're gifted with your favorite candy but no one else likes it; how much of it is too much? I find that when I have a lot of my favorite candy I'll eat it alot the first few days and then it will sit on the shelf for weeks before I ever touch it again. I have a BIG bag of M&M's that I bought when I was school shopping and I still have quite a few left. You're at a party and have to drive home... the drinks are flowing and are going down easy... how much is too much? This doesn't apply to me because I don't drink. Your best friend wants to come stay at your home... how much time is too much? Our pastor has a saying "Friends start to stink after three days!" If you have a lot of activities planned a few days or a week is plenty of time. After a while it get tiring trying to come up with something to talk about. I love having company but I'm always relieved when it's time for them to go home. __________________

Ha Ha I've never had a job that I REALLY loved. I like being home more!! If you find your perfect outfit but cringe at the price, how much is too much? I've never been one to spend a lot on clothes. I don't like spending much more tha $19.99 on anything....I know, I'm tighter than bark on a tree! When you're gifted with your favorite candy but no one else likes it; how much of it is too much? As long as it's chocolate, it's never too much!!! You're at a party and have to drive home... the drinks are flowing and are going down easy... how much is too much? I personally think two is enough for anyone and even then with a designated, completely sober driver!. Your best friend wants to come stay at your home... how much time is too much? My best friend could stay forever and it would still never be enough time..
