  • Safe for Americans to travel in Saudi Arabia?

    Should I have any concerns about my 13 year old daughter traveling to Saudi with her father? They are both American and would be staying with his father, also an American.

    At that age, how should be dressed in public and would she need to cover her head?

  • Bad bridesmaid's dress?

    I ordered and paid for a bridesmaid's dress. The dress came in and I went to try it on. The sash was ordered in the wrong color. I needed a black dress with a white sash, they ordered a black dress with a black sash. What kind of idiot would buy a black dress with a black sash?? Anyway, they called the factory and could not get a new dress in time for the wedding, so the factory sent them a white sash and they said they would change it. I went in today to be fitted for alterations and see the new white sash. It looks horrible. My 12 year old could have sewn it. The seam doesn't match up on the side and there is white thread showing. It is all bunchy and they took in the waist to make it smaller. She said she knew it was too big on me so she asked them to alter it a bit. I think they messed up and took in the sides to hide it. Who does alterations without trying it on first? I told her how unhappy I am with the dress. She insists that it is fine. Refuses to give refund and is very rude.

  • Prayer in daycare, okay?

    Our daycare is not owned or run by a church. They have decided to teach the children a prayer and have them recite it together before meals. I spoke to the director to voice my concerns and she said that it's really common to have prayer at daycare centers. I really do not want our daycare center teaching my daughter religion. Any religious or spiritual lessons will be taught at home by our family. I know that this would never be permissible in a public school, but what about a privately owned daycare? I really do not want to move her to another center. She is only 4 and she really likes it there. Does DCFS have any regulations? We live in Illinois.

  • Hiring bonus?

    My offer letter says that I will have to pay back my hiring bonus if I leave my new job in less than 12 months. If I start the job and find that important details of the company and position were misrepresented during the interview process, is there a way that I can quit and not have to pay back the hiring bonus? What would they do to collect it?

    I recently left a sales job and they did not pay me on over $1.2m in closed deals my final month. I have tried to talk to my former manager and her boss, but they are not willing to resolve the matter. is there someone that I can call? They were supposed to pay me the commissions on anything that closed up to 60 days after I left. All of this closed within 30 days of my last day. It is a significant sum of money.

  • How do I report a road rage incident with an Illinois Dept of Transportation worker??

    I was driving on an exit ramp when an IDOT truck pulled onto the exit ramp from the side of the road. We almost collided! He followed me to the gas station and walked up to my car. He yanked on my door handle to open my door. Thank God it was locked! I rolled down my window to apologize, but he stuck his finger in my face and started cursing and screaming at me and other passengers in my car. I was so frightened that I rolled up my window and called the police. The police arrived and totally took his side. When I asked to file a complaint, I was told that he could have me fined and ticketed for not giving him the right of way. I certainly feel bad for not stopping in the middle of the exit ramp to let him on, but he had NO right to scare the crap out of me and my child and 2 friends. I feel that it was road rage. The cop said I had no charge to file, since he never touched me. I felt very threatened and scared, and my little girl was crying. WHAT IF CAR DOOR WASN'T LOCKED??????
