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.

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!
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
My dog loves coconut oil right off the spoon. Try the health food store. Sometimes in food store,
s
I believe non-DD people won't get checks for months. sm
Someone had a stimulus refund link on here, below, I believe.
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.
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!!! 
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
The store is being a jerk.
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.
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.
And that is why I don't shop at those store, but there are many stores that I do
items. I'm not holding any anger from this end, I am just going to continue to stick to my convictions.
I agree. I think allowing any pet in a store, other than
It really makes women look ridiculously foo-foo. LOL
grocery store inconsideration--sm
This may sound weird, but I have had it happen to me just about every time I go to the grocery store, or any store really, that have shopping carts. People who stare right at you and then run right into you with their shopping carts, like they never even saw you. Most never even say excuse me. I just don't see how people can look you right in the eye and then run into you. I think it is purposely, just to get a reaction. RUDE.
