the checks should be right there in the store - sm
I would think. Or whichever store they run their office from. They should have been able to write one out for you then and there. I would not have left without it, they know you want the money and are going to jerk you around until you give up. I would think that you had a court judgement or order by now and they have to do it or be arrested, etc, could not the deputy arrest the store mananger for something, obstructing the order? Failing to comply, whatever. As for the bank, it would probably be one of the top 3 banks in the area, though I don't know if the bank would tell you if they had an account there. You can always make some calls and try to find out. If they won't give you the money, take your $700 worth of furniture, and obviously try to pick something you want to actually keep, otherwise you will probably only get half of what the retail is if you are lucky and you are still out a chunk of change.
Stimulus checks
I had a letter a few months ago but not a week before it should have been mailed. According to the website mine was to be mailed NO LATER than 5/23 - and I still don't have it. :(
i write checks
only when I have to, but I have adorable checks. I know it takes a BIT longer, but now with the new "slide your own card, then type 100 keys just to say OK to the transaction" it's about the same time, if you really think about it.

The thing about people stopping in the middle of an aisle OMG why why WHY do they do that? GET OUT OF THE WAY, MOVE TO THE SIDE, BE CONSIDERATE!!! im with you on that one
To all those wondering about stimulus checks SM
who are not direct deposit . . Got mine in the mail Friday and my last two numbers were 06.
Re: Those economy-stimulation checks - sm


I still haven't gotten mine, and will believe it when I have it in my hand.  Worse, I just got one of those "Return Information Notices" in the mail.  Well, guess what?  The state of Calif. did a little number-rearranging, (or should I maybe call it "fuzzy math"?), and my state income tax refund has been changed from over $300 down to ZERO.  When you call the number on the website, and finally get a live person to help, they very helpfully refer you to "someone who can go over it with you", and then the system tells you it's too busy, and hangs up on you! 


And get THIS:  The actually had a LOWER taxable income than I had calculated.  So how do they figure I am suddenly owed NO refund?  It sure sounds like that's how the gov't. is funding those economic stimulus checks.  Like I'm really sure that gypping us like that is going to create an economic stimulus. 


Looks like once again, this Calif. taxpayer has been Californicated


 


 


I agree. We have to pay out a lot. The stimulus checks should be for everyone! sm
I owed 4800 this year. BUT no stimulus check. Ok, fine, can accept that btu shoudn't my "stimulus check" go toward what I owe!!! Sorry but my bills are going up just like everone else so I don't deserve any "extra" either??
arrested for bad checks - not Caylee
very unusual for someone to be arrested that way for bad checks, that scened was sooo dramatic. The cops must hate her too
I use checks, but have streamlined the process - sm
by filling out everything but the amount (date, signature, phone number) on the check, & entering all info. into my check register except the amount, before even leaving for the store. Check is torn out, and in my wallet where I can just pull it out, write in the total, hand it to the cashier, and take off as soon as she gives me the receipt.

Nowadays their computer/cash machine setup takes only seconds to verify the check. I usually wait to fill in the amount in the check register until I get home.

It's weird, but often I find it takes longer to pay with money than it does with a check. (Especially if I have a bunch of change and I'm trying to pay with the exact amount.) That seems to freak people out in line even more than using a check.

Also, nowadays the checker ends up doing the bagging, too (seems the stores have cut WAY back on hiring baggers.) So as he or she finishes each bag, I put it in the cart from where I'm standing, so he or she doesn't have to walk around the counter to do it. And I grab things like milk jugs, big 12-pack soft-drink cartons, cat litter, and other big things that don't really need a bag.

Anyway, I find doing just those few things seems to get me through the line pretty fast.
free credit checks.

Is there a way to obtain your credit report for free?  I have never checked it.  I have always been afraid to, but now I would like to check it now matter how bad and figure on a way to make it better.  I have looked on line and found several sites offering "free" credit checks, but then pay a monthly fee for something.  I don't want any monthly fees as that is my problem now.  I have too many straws in my bank account.  I was wondering if my bank would do it or maybe an 800.  If I ask, would I get laughed out of the building imaging something for free? TIA. 


no, nobody knows but the bank, they will cover checks you wrote
nm
It was my understanding, the checks are mailed out on Fridays, and
delivered..provided the mailing address was correct!
How much are stamps these days???
Pugmom..the ED checks records and will know that you are not a frequent flyer....sm
And believe me, there are some that are there like every other day.

Something else you might want to do too( I have typed urology both adult and peds for 19 years now and have lots of hints LOL) is to walk as much as possible, drink LOTS of water, and perhaps cranberry juice. The walking is supposed to help the stone get moving, the liquids are to help flush it out once it starts moving. The cranberry juice should help with the start of an infection.

Some people though, never pass their stone(s) and have not one iota of pain and suffering once the initial diagnosis is made.

I am so glad to hear that you are doing better. Myself and others were worried for you. Glad you are back.
Checks could be in taxpayer mailboxes by June, according to an Associated Press report.

wow. several months for TAT...wish we had that!--nm

Nine months later?

That's unreal. I would be interested to hear his explanation after your phone call. If you cancelled the appointment you should not have been billed, much less that amount. Good luck with that one!  


Definitely let him do it. It's only for a few months.
It must be awful to spend that much time driving every day, and gas is so expensive right now. Just let him do it. It's only until spring, and it will make things so much easier on him.
When my son was 9 MONTHS old SM

we lived in South Carolina, and his daycare center asked me to sign a form giving them permission to spank him if he misbehaved.  He was a BABY and they wanted to spank him!  Holy Cow!  I refused to sign it and took my son out of their daycare, but it was legal there (this was 14 years ago...not sure what the law is now).  But I was shocked.


I'm not anti-spanking...I just think only a parent should be able to spank their child.  Definitely not someone who doesn't love your child and who may be too heavy handed.


Chickadee


They are now - it took several months for them to
get like this. Whenever one is curled up sleeping, the other will slink over and rest their head on the other one. :)
my son will be 11 in a few months
and never had anything like this. He's very forgetful and seems to lack common sense the last year or so. He also likes to turn his back and put his head down when he doesn't like something but hsn't cried in a long time unless he's hurt.

It sounds to me like maybe other kids (or someone) is telling your son he is fat or maybe making fun of him with clothes and that's why he suddenly changes his mind about what's cool and what's not.

I know my son is really starting to look at the high school aged kids for direction on what to wear, haircuts, etc. The long hair, no shower, messy look. We have had a talk that we understand he is growing up and with that comes priviledges but also he can only "grow up" so fast and he's not 15 or 16 and will not be treated as such until then. We have also told him at his age it is our job as parent's to make sure he is clean, fed, gets good sleep and grades, has clothes, and a roof over his head...and with that means we will make sure he takes a shower and makes himself look presentable. Long hair is fine, messy-look is fine...but rolling out of bed and tossing wrinkled clothes on is not - until he's 18 and then he can do what he wants.

Maybe you could sit down and have a talk with your son and ask him about why he's so emotional and changes his mind a lot. Could also call the school guidance counselor (even anonymously) and ask if it is normal behavior or might be signaling something more going on. They are really the experts on behavior at that age and for some reason many kids will talk to them when they won't talk to their own parents.
I have been seeing one the last few months.
I was a skeptic for certain. My husband ended up in the hospital with back problems and all the doctors would do is prescribe him meds to alleviate the pain. He started going to a chiropractor looking for relieve. It took a while but they helped him tremendously. After that I decided to give it a shot. The past few months I have been going weekly because insurance would pay for a certain number of visits in a year. Now that the year is renewing I have told my chiro that I am cutting back to once a month, or as I feel I need it. I will continue to go just not regularly at 1-2 times a week. She saw nothing wrong with that.Like you I can definitely tell a difference with less stiffness, better range of motion, better sleep, etc.
I think everyone should wait at least 3 months.

22 months is not even TWO years old..sm
people keep saying that baby is 2 1/2 years old. or 3. 24 months is two years old. 36 months is three years old. People cannot even add.
Hopefully in a few months we'll both...sm
be bragging about our new babies. I haven't had morning sickness yet - didn't have it last time either, so we'll see if that develops. I'm spending my lunch hour from work napping each day and sleeping after work for a while. Hopefully I'll wake up before the baby is born in September. :o)
I waited about 7 months.
I wish I had done it sooner. I couldn't eat anything without getting sick by the time I gave in.
6 months and both hips fxd? Where'd ya get..nm
.
I took my child's away at 3 months.
A friend of mine has a 3-year-old who still *needs* it. She HAS to give it up because she walks around with it in and you can't understand her when she talks. I think it is up to the mom to take it away.
3 weddings in 3 months...
Same family; 1 in July, then 2 weeks later, then a month later....would wearing the same dress to each wedding be```tacky```?  All 3 evening weddings...so would be appropriate for each. Whatcha think?
sorry should be couple of months.
;(
daughter had one then none for six months
the it was every other month and has now settled into a regular 28 day cycle. But occasionally when she is super active she will miss but its all normal.
I quit 3 months ago!
I feel great! I can even be around others and not have a craving. I am just starting to be bothered by the smell.

GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT!!
I got my Wii at Target 2 months ago
They seem to be getting more and more in lately. I HATE Walmart.
Just started a few months ago
And I love it. It's very easy to deal with, since you brush on such a tiny bit at a time. I start with the big brush, then use the middle one to go over where I need more coverage. If you have very dry skin, I can see where it might be a problem, but that's not me. I do try to avoid putting it on heavily where I have crow's feet around my eyes, because I think maybe it does make them more prominent.

And don't let that video scare you - they make it look like you'd be putting on 40 coats of this stuff or something. I just use the basic color, some of the warmth and then the mineral veil. I don't think you need anything more.

Finally got rid of one after several months

Had to buy a cage trap online and bait it.  Eventually got lucky and put something in there it was in the mood to eat, and it didn't manage to spring the trap that time.  BF took it for a ride and released it somewhere far away.


Now there's a possum looking to get in....maybe I need to get a dog, my house seems to attract critters.


After 6 months of looking and living
like a pauper I am now pretty happy in the new job I have. I am also behind on every bill in the house! Has anyone used a credit counseling service to help them with debt and paying off everything to get their credit back on track? I want to use a legitimate company and not worsen my situation more than it is. Thanks everyone.
3 yrs and 3 months. Stay over every other
xx
They announced this several months ago -
Then they said it was due to their rising costs.  Everyone now wants to say it is the cost of gas, which it may well be.  Anyway, not happy about it here either!
After 6 months of counseling,
the child psychologist couldn't figure it out either.  He is angry, but he can't or won't tell us why.  I've pretty much chalked it up to "middle child syndrome".  He's just one of those kids that demands more attention.  I do my best to give that to him without slighting the others. 
I just went through that a couple months ago.

I found the best coffee to be Dunkin' Donuts. It's 100% Arabica beans. I saw Aldi's has their own brand and that's 100% Arabica, too, and I'm going to grab a bag this week and see if there's any difference. I use 3 scoops for 8 cups of coffee. It's a Mr. Coffee scoop and I just measured the scoop at 2-1/2 tbsp.


I just had to get a new coffee maker. My Bunn was 10 years old and started leaking, so DH bought a Black and Decker.


I used to keep my coffee in the fridge, but read that it could collect moisture and destroy the flavor of the coffee, so now I keep it in an air tight container in a cool place. I also clean my coffee pot once a month by filling the coffee pot with 10 fl. oz. of vinegar, let it sit a few hours, then run water through it until it tastes like water (in my Bunn, it used to be 10 times).  Since I just got this new one, haven't done it yet.


I MISS MY BUNN!!!


3-4 months, but after that it really worked
In the beginning you have to use it twice a day, 1mL each time, you receive also a dropper with it, in the morning and in the evening.

It is not messy at all and very easy to use.

After 4 months I started to use it only once a day, in the morning.
You can buy it in drug stores, rather expensive, a 60ml bottles appr. $ 12.--, this lasts 1 month.

But you can, as I do, buy it on ebay (minoxidil 2%), in the generic form, there you can get 9 bottles for $ 28.--, shipping and handling included.
More questions?

The OP sat for two months and let her situation get

It's called laziness.


Something YOU probably know all about too well. 


it varies from mom to mom - mine was 1st 3 months
I always kept Saltine crackers without the salt with me wherever I went and it worked for me.  I was only ill the 1st three months and was running around Europe so I had to have dry crackers with me all the time.  Good luck!  *S* 
I had my dog completely trained by 2 months of age....sm
If you work at home this is a major advantage! Purchase a dog crate and put a small blanket or towel or toys in there. Your dog will learn to accept this as its home and will not want to pee/poop in its home. Take your dog outside of the crate and outside every couple of hours during the time you're not asleep, and of course do this at times when you can play with the puppy and let it run around for a while to burn up some of the endless energy. After a week start weaning this back to every 3 hours, then every 4 hours. Each time the dog pees or poops lavish on the praise with the "good boy" or "good girl!" and lots of attention. The biggest obstacle in house training a dog is getting them to realize that you will let them out to do their business. Eventually the dog will let you know when they have to go and you can start leaving the door to the crate open for periods of time. My dog makes this strange sound when she needs to go out. My husband's dog just keeps looking at you and the door until you get the idea that he needs to go.

You can crate train a dog regardless of its age. My father-in-law had problems with his 6-year-old beagle tearing up the house and peeing all over the place anytime they left her at home and they found out that as soon as they put the dogs favorite toys and blanket in the crate that the dog loved it, they could close the door to the crate when they left home and Maggie didn't go bullistic (they'd listen outside of the house). She now loves her crate and naps in there all of the time as she recognizes this is her home.
exactly, the child is 5 months old, needs guardian

and exactly why a guardian ad litem was put in place, until that DNA case is settled out of California.........a short period of time, likely, at this point.  The REAL father would get the child, I would think...but again, we are talking about the Bahamas........different laws.....


I sure hope and pray the child gets to be with the real father.....



 


Yes, just had shingles a couple of months ago but
the other has been going on for several years now. By the way, I would suggest anyone who ever had chicken pox to do yourself a favor, take the vaccine to prevent shingles- you do not want to have this - it can be prevented.
You sure it is not broken? Two months is way too long - sm
Go to an Orthopedist if you have not yet done so. Maybe you tore something if it is not broken. A sprain normally heals in less than a week, not months.
Seperate accounts for about 6 months now - and (sm)
previously seperate accounts. We were on the same account for a couple of years but it caused too many arguments.
Happy Birthday!! Right behind you - 40 in less than 2 months! (sm)
How the heck did we get to be 40 already?? :-) Have fun today!!

Went shoe shopping with my kids today and my daughter said, "Mom if you were younger would you buy these shoes?" Probably would've too!
Fetal death at 5 months....
....do not remember exactly how long before resumption of periods; however, daughter was born 1 year later so it could not have been long before body returned to normal.  (Daughter is now 25 and mother of 2 little boys.)
My stepson is 8 months younger than me (sm)
My ex was my age. He was a flop. Not that that experience kept me from dating men my own age. It didn't, and I wasn't seeking out an older man, either.

I became friends with my current husband at work. We were both side-by-side charge nurses. We had a lot of fun together and the residents loved when we worked together. I had the extreme pleasure of seeing what a caring, considerate, and gentle person he is to people he cared for at his job. He is unbelievable.

He knew I had a daughter from my ex. I knew he had 2 grown sons, one of them a few months younger than me. It was weird at first kissing on a guy with more wrinkles than I was used to. However, the fact that I was a nurse and had a child with an ex already meant to him that I had experienced some life already. I guess that made me fair game. :) The age thing does not affect us at all, especially now. At first it took getting used to, but now it is nothing. The only thing I fear is not having someone to grow old with, but nobody knows what will happen with their life day to day.

We subsequently had 2 more little girls together. We have 3 girls to raise now. I have since become a step-grandma to a wonderful little boy. We just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. I couldn't be happier. He never thought he'd have more children, but he thinks it is absolutely incredible to do again. He says he appreciates his kids more now that he's older. Not that he doesn't appreciate his older kids, it's just different.

I went to his 30-year class reunion. He was congratulated because of his young wife. LOL

I wouldn't date anyone much younger than me. I'd really be robbing the cradle. I prefer robbing the grave with the ol' hubby now. ;) Besides, it's a lot easier when they're older and broken in than when they have to be trained to do things.

Our relationship, though, is not like the stuff portrayed on TV shows. Our relationship is normal, happy, and positive. No big deal.
This is my other kitty, adopted 10 months ago.

This is Xanadu - a 2-year-old calico Persian.  When I first got her (both came from Persian & Himalayan Cat Rescue in Mill Valley), I figured she'd be happiest as an only cat.  But after 10 months of careful observation and getting to know her really well, I decided she needed a companion.  She had a pretty traumatic history with other cats at her original home, one of whom scratched her cornea, so her new friend had to be exactly the right cat.  And as always, the people at rescue matched me up with the PERFECT kitty-companion in Charlotte, the one posted below.
