They said that they could have charged me 1000 and are being nice. I'm talking with the probation officer today to see what he knows about this.

I used to do store security for a major department store - try this -
Go to the store and ask to speak with someone from the security department. Tell them what you have stated here. Hope they are able to help you!

How About "I'm not a jerk."
Then, it turns out he is the biggest jerk you've been out with so far??
I miss being married. Dating just sucks!
What a jerk! sm
You give yourself a treat with a new do, pedicure, manicure, and get right back out there.
Be active in your community, join a hobby group, volunteer, whatever... you will meet someone and it will be someone that is WORTH YOUR ATTENTION! This jerk is not worth getting upset over.
Ugly is on the inside and he is F-UGLY! Good thing you won't be seeing him again.
Jerk.
That's all I have to say about that.
Jerk doctor
Even with the shot you can still get chickenpox. Hopefully he gets through it okay without any complications. *hugs*
My stepfather is a big jerk too (sm)
When I go visit my family we stay in a hotel and visit back and forth with them. That way I don't care if I feel unwelcome and I still get to see my mother and other relatives, and if he starts acting jerky, I have somewhere else to go.
he sounds like a jerk to me
Sounds like he should've married Bree VanDecamp-Hodge from Desperate Housewives--a fictional character!
I wouldn't stick around to find out what's he doing on the road. I would, however, check that cell phone bill, etc., to see what he's doing, then prepare yourself. If you don't stay with him (not sure why you'd want to), just get all your paperwork ready (keep it anywhere but in that house), and start thinking about YOUR future. Not being mean, just being honest. Life isn't sugar-coated, and from what I read, neither is he.
Gook luck to ya.
What a jerk, Crankybeach!
Well, I'm sure that's a decision (marrying him) she'll live to regret. If he did it once......
Jerk doctor, I agree
That was inconsiderate and unprofessional of the doctor's office not to call and remind you of the appointment, as 6 month appointments in advance are hard to remember. And the doctor was a jerk in treating you like that by being sarcastic.
It's weird, doctors raise a fit if our transcription isn't perfect and turn around and scold you about how you raise your kid.
I have had scarlet fever as a child as well as chickenpox and I'm still here and healthy so don't despair. Husbands just don't understand, just b/c we're at home all day doesn't mean we're not working. Hang in there. 
What is a 'suck jerk'? Am I missing something?

happy gilmore, all of me, and the JERK

I think what a passive/aggressive manipulative jerk!.

Hubby's friend is a jerk - period!

Darn nice guy! Unless it was his girlfriend, then a jerk:) Good for you! nm

"selfish jerk", as you call him, AGREED to help, DESPITE his plans.

Don't be a jerk. Most of us were lucky enough to be born into English speaking families.

OMG, are you sure that's not the same store?
Or do all young male cashiers just have a breast fixation? Boy oh boy.
You don't have to go the store.
You don't die from not being able to go into a store. You may die from secondhand smoke (living with a smoker), but I doubt from simply walking through a door and inhaling a few seconds of secondhand smoke. Most people will eat themselves to death before they die of secondhand smoke. Funny how the older generation smoked, ate lard, and never took vitamins, and most lived to be in their 100's. I have an aunt that died of cancer, never drank, never smoked, never ever did anything but serve her husband and she died. My grandfather rolled his own cigarettes and lived to be 91 after a career as a coal miner... go figure... cigarette smoking I'm sure causes cancer, but so does a lot of other things like auto fumes (pollution), asbestos, and the like. They are building new homes minutes from toxic waste dumps. If you get cancer it won't be from walking through a doorway of a store where someone is smoking, it will more than likely be from the other things listed above.
Don't go to the store...sm
you must be a smoker who thinks they are the only ones being deprived of their rights. We all need to go to the store. What a ridiculous statement to make. People who smoke are addicted to their addictions and don't have the courage to break the habit. True, cigarette smoke is not the only thing that causes cancer, but if I choose to not have it affect my life and my pleasure of living my life, you don't have the right to inflict it upon me, just because you choose to stay addicted to your addiction and don't like being told you need to go to certain areas in order to feed that addiction. If you need to smoke that badly, don't go to the store and smoke. Don't go to the store at all, just like you told me I don't have to. Stay in your car and inflict it upon yourself or stay home.
I wonder what that guy in the store would have said
If your neice turned around and said "Really? I find men with bad breath much more offensive." Might think twice before he opened his mouth. That's a face I'd like to see!!
I wonder if you have to store them
with the plastic cover on when you're not wearing them to protect the sticky layer from dust?
I'm thinking it would feel like walking on a sticky floor in a grocery store?
I had my own store. Got a following almost became
But the fees added up so much that is listing fees,final value fees, that I made about 33% after paypal took their fees too. Then, I shipped all over the world too so I'd be sure to make sure the shipping costs were right or I would get burned there.
Then, there became the people who would want their money back even if the listing said only store credit.
Customer is always right.
So, by the time you count the money I spent on the item to begin with (usually something I thought I would naturally make money on), the fees, the time spent taking pictures, the digital battery, etc. I had a gigantic loss this year. Plus, if you buy on e bay, you should watch your selling, because you just might spend all your profit, which comes out to about 5 to 10 bucks an hour.
I loved doing it, don't get me wrong. I met people from all over the world. I sold a dress to the Prime Minister of a University in England, and other interesting people. I still have friends on there who are sellers too. But, I had to close down shop because the fees just got to be too much for me. I would rather sit and type and have free time doing artistic things and having hobbies.
Some of my friends who have a following on e bay and have been selling for years range in the 25K a year range, and they have a business license, and charge state tax. Don't forget as well, you have to pay income tax just like any other IC job. Just was not worth it to me. Good luck to you.
is there a store you will not shop
I know for some here they've said it's Walmart.
There's a chain of stores here in NJ, not sure if they're anywhere else though. It's calles SixthAvenue Electronics. We had a bad experience with them many years ago (they sold us a reconditioned piece of electronics without telling us it wasn't new) and to this day I won't even look at their flyers. I just throw them away.
Where won't you shop?
Another grocery store one (sm)
 The ones who act like it's a total surprise that they actually have to take out their wallet and pay after they're given a total - worse yet, paying in cash, and have to dig around in their purse for the appropriate change. G-r-r-r
Grocery store......
My daughter worked at a grocery store as cashier in high school..she would come home disgusted at how some of these ladies would come through her aisle and pull their money out between their breasts...she hated touching that money. During the summer, she said it was even worse...they were sweaty and nasty and she had to take the money and recount it. She couldn't wash her hands enough!!
Lacie - how to store it.....s/m
You are right, one bottle lasts a few washings. If you look very carefully, there is a little bit of whitish powder at the bottom tip of the product. That has to be mixed well before you snap off the top of the vial. What I do, is outside my shower is a basket full of soaps and stuff and I stand it up there in between the stuff until the next head wash. Then, I put my finger over the open tip upon the 2nd and/or 3rd usage of vial....and shake that powder up that way as it does *settle* in between usage.
Also, the product comes in 3-in-1 packages and/or 1 much bigger vial that would probably last 7 washings. *grins* You probably saw all that at Sally's tonight.
Love people who don't procrastinate, and you sure don't!!! 
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.
There is a bar w/ a drive thru store
across the street from our apartment complex. One morning around 10/11am I saw a school bus go through there. I'm sure he/she was just picking something up for later but it just looked bad!
Thanks everyone! Running to the store to buy
stuff now. By the way, she's 8. Sorry, I forgot to say that before. Thanks again!!
OMG! I would have owned that store!
I would have had the cops there any everything, pressing charges for physical assault! That woman was obviously completely psycho!
I went to a local store
called Fred's Beds and caught our Simmons on sale. I think the set was only $900. I was thrilled.
You should go to the pool store SM
We have lived in a house with a pool for about 10 years, in the ground not above. If you take a sample of your water to the pool store, they will test your water for free. They will tell you exactly what chemicals you need and exactly how to close your pool. If you close it correctly, opening in the spring will be a breeze. If you don't, it will be a nightmare.
just trying on clothes in the store -- you can get it
The nurse at our health dept said the bug lives many many days on objects - even clothing.
And yes, you can, if you have a reduced immune system, or even just a little scratch or something -- you can catch MRSA from someone who had a sore who tried on the clothing before you.
You can try on a pair of slacks and if you have a skin opening, you are set to get it.
So many people who come in where I work, think they have a pimple and so many are in the gluteal, buttocks region -- never in the mucosal part of the vaginal/labia area -- have never seen the bug go there interestingly enough -- but in the crease of the buttocks or even on the buttocks......or on the legs, arms, even the face.
People think they have pimple or a bug bite.
And they spread it through a family by sharing towels etc
Seeing your post, on my way to store
I am making stuffed bell peppers tonight. I hardly ever have those and got me a good recipe, yum, yum. Now as far as the hamburger, I sometimes just like a burger on its own, nothing else.
A woman just hit me in a store!
I was at the cash register paying for my things, and the lady behind me dropped a piece of paper. I picked it up and gave it to her. She said thanks, and I turned back to the cashier. A few seconds later, SLAM! she had hit me really hard in my shoulder! She obviously wasn't mentally "with it". Something is wrong, but she shouted, "I know you. Hi!" I said firmly, "You do not know me. Please do not hit me!" I didn't make a big deal out of it, because she obviously had something wrong with her. I thought she looked a little like she had Down Syndrome, with very widely spaced eyes and the typical look. But she did hit me hard and left a bruise. And I'm 200 pounds. When she hit me, she had enough power to push me a couple of steps away. I have to say, I was a little scared. She seemed to be alone. The manager came over to talk to her, and I just said that I was okay and left, so I don't know what happened after that.
drug store
loved the fountain drinks, miss the five and dimes like Woolworth's.
I usually try the feed store first,
they used to carry something called yellow marlin, but I warn you, it is highly poisonous, a consideration if you have young ones about or curious animals inside. They carry a small jug like contraption you put water in to draw wasps and they can't get out, but I don't know about fruit flies or gnats. Good luck.
I think I spend less at the store when
we eat out/order in. Of course, then our "entertaining" budget increases. But some things are cheaper to just order in. For example, pizzas -- I can get 2 large pepperoni pizzas from the local pizzeria for under $20. If I buy them in the store, I spend about $15 and then have to cook them and my kids don't like the frozen kind as well. The frozen kind are also smaller.
I just got groceries this past Friday and spent $200. I had an entire cart full. In addition to the coupons I had, I also had a 20% discount on everything (one of those reward plans for spending so much the previous 2 months). I got value packs of skinless/boneless chicken breasts - buy 1 get 1 free -- $15 packs of chicken, breakfast sausage on sale, ham steaks on sale, plus my 20% off all that.
Overall, I think I spend somewhere around $150 a week on groceries. There are 5 of us -- me, my hubs, and 3 boys -- ages 6 to 11.
What I notice that I spend more on are school lunches. It costs $2.00 a day per child and I don't think they actually eat it. I'm thinking about packing my kids' lunches each day. $2/day x 3 kids = $6/day x 5 days/week = $30/week x 4 weeks/month = $120 for lunch. YIKES!!! I think I can do better than that if I pack them.
Never had enough to open a store...sm
But have bought and sold on ebay for over 10 years. Love it.
dollar store
One year was particularly bad and I went to the dollar store and bought 64 things and wrapped every one. It was quite an impressive hill under the tree.
Does anyone here have an online store for their
beading jewelry? I am interested in taking a peek if you bead on the side of MT'ing... I love the jewelry but don't quite have the patience... 
back of the store
Lately, I have noticed a lot of manager's specials at my store. The only thing they have in common is that they are due to expire that day. I guess they used to throw that stuff out, but a lot of people need it now. Usually everything is around a dollar or so. There is one for dairy, meat, and bakery at my store which is actually in a wealthy neighborhood. I guess everyone is having a hard time lately.
If the store is still open....
If you have a big platter or can get a throw-away one, make a nice cheese and cracker platter and put a bowl of grapes in the middle, that way you'll still have something to munch on while playing cards, or before dinner as it sounds like dinner is going to be sparse. Throw a couple of boxes of cornbread muffin mix (quick) into a large baking dish and bring corn bread. Everyone loves corn bread. Monkey bread is easy to make with a couple of rolls of those prepaid biscuits and recipes are all over the net for it, simple. Or a fruit platter with a dip in the middle. My brain is tired and the stores are closing. Unless you want to bring a ham but you'd be taking a chance on ruining her menu, after all,you are the DIL! Good luck with it, drink some Slim Fast first! Happy Day! While you're playing cards, something simple is "Scoops" with salsa. Just happen to have them in your trunk. Hurry up, it's getting late, maybe the drug store is open or a 711.
Do you have a store that sells the little
discs of chocolate to melt that are more for candymaking? These work the best as the parafin is already in the candy, so they set better. You could try also anywhere that sells supplies for baking cakes to see if they have the candy-making chocolate discs.
Also, you may want to let the peanut butter balls sit before coating, as I think it has something to do with the oil in the peanut butter. Let them sit to "dry" before coating with any type of chocolate.
Candies that are homemade should be stored in tins with wax paper in a cool dry place and not necessarily in the refrigerator. If you do store in the refrigerator make sure the container is air tight as the chocolate will pick up the flavors of other things in your refrigerator, i.e., onions...
My mother made homemade candies; all types! RIP: Mom; we'll miss your candies again this year... 
Have you tried contacting a store
in your area that sells the flooring? They may have some suggestions. I know for hardwood they carried a product with the actual spray (but it was cheaper at a local home store). Just call and ask what is best to use and if they say they have products, then maybe take some time to check them out and see if you can get them cheaper somewhere else.
My husband is in the flooring business (sales/installer), and we actually had hardwoord put down and the product used to clean it was cheaper at a home store than the store where he works, so we bought it at the home store.
Hope this helps! Happy mopping, which reminds me.... geesh I'd better do that soon. I vacuum my vinyl (yucko) kitchen floor and mop probably once a month really mop by moving the table etc. But likely Emily, I also have a swiffer but it's not as effective and leaves a sticky residue. It's good for when the kids spill things though..
Creating your own web store sm
Anyone here ever created your own web store? If so what software did you use? I'd like to give it a try some time down the road and am checking out software, thought maybe someone had used a good one.
I would go to the store and tell them outright
you are cancelling and not interested. You don't have to deal with the sales pitch. Just tell them NO. If you do it in person, you have the paperwork from the actual store. Don't know I would totally trust doing it on the internet.
Book Store
Go to a Borders, Barnes & Noble, or like bookstore on Sunday morning. I have met some very nice and interesting gentleman who are emotionally and financially stable. I get one of the coffee drinks from the cafe and hang out in the reading area. Have had some quality conversations with different folks and learned a lot too. I agreed to meet one fellow at an astronomy club meeting that evening. The next day we met in a public park for a group bird watching walk.
Not true. Don't assume because you store something somewhere
that the person storing it is liable if something is lost or stolen. In fact, I had stuff stolen from a storage facility and they were not liable. Luckily my homeowners insurance paid.
In this case I believe both husbands were at fault. OPs husband because he chose rest rather than being sure that the quads were safe....and BIL because he shouldn't have accepted responsibility for the quads if he didn't feel he could store them safely. Both should take equal responsibility for the loss IMO.
