  • Legal Question - Florida - Is she still liable for the installation payment?

    My husband works for a flooring installer. They do not sell the products they are installing, the Floor Factory sells them. My husband and his boss worked all last week, including Saturday, installing this woman's tile. She refuses to pay because the tile that was installed (that she picked out, purchased and paid for) was low quality.

    I think she is still liable to pay the installers and legally has to go after the flooring store to get her money back.

    Am I correct? Should they get a lawyer and make her pay them, take her to small claims court?

  • Florida Law: Divorce file with or without children in this case / Place of residence question?

    A friend is needing a divorce filed here in Florida. He is in the military and just got back from serving in Iraq. His domicile of residence is here in Florida but he is stationed in Texas. Before he left for Iraq, he married a girl, a few days before he left. While he was gone, she fooled around and got pregnant. The child is clearly not his based on the date it was born and per her own words. She did not put him on the birth certificate. She delivered the baby in, I believe, New Mexico.

    Two questions before I file this for him so he doesn't lose his filing fee money for misfiling the paperwork.

    1. Is he be able to file in Florida since his domicile of record is here in Florida?

    2. Does he need the form with children or without children since the child is not his and she acknowledges that fact?

  • 16 YEAR OLD AND RUN IN WITH POLICE -PARENTS PLEASE RESPOND?

    If you had to pick your child up from a police officer after they were caught running from the police after watching a fight, would they be grounded for at least a week? Please help me settle this. I hate my business all over but I'm getting tired of this argument. - Please post your age and if you are a parent too.

    The grounding more pertains to the running from the police part and the parent being subsequently lectured by a police officer.

    We have had the discussion that it is wrong to run from the police and that the reason she is grounded is because she ran from the police.

    6 AnswersImmigration1 decade ago
  • Repost: Need to "interview" someone who lives in US who is not White or not born here?

    Project for school, 500 words for me to write, oh yay!

    "Interview a person from a different racial or ethnic background. Find out if and how relevant history has affected them or their family. Ask about economic, political and social implications to their personal life."

    Soooooo....I am a White (therefore, French-Canadian, Native American, Irish, German mutt), no religious preference, not Jewish (since that is possibly a cultural and not ethnic or racial difference in all cases), female

    If you can answer some questions, please post and let me know. Here's what I think I will ask:

    1. Has relevant history affected you or your family? This means in terms of prejudice and/or discrimination. Things of the nature of governmental policies that show anti-anything sentiment. If yes, how?

    2. Any economic implications to personal life? Basically have you been discriminated against because of your race or ethnicity in terms of pay, employment, or financial services? How?

    3. Any political implications to personal life? Basically have you been discriminated against because the US government is sometimes as bad as the anti-<fill-in-the-blank> groups that are out there in terms of discrimination? I guess examples would be Japanese "evacuee" camps of WWII or more recently the acts that have been put into place since the attacks of 9/11. How?

    4. Any social implications to personal life? Basically, have you been discriminated against or been exposed to prejudice or discrimination in your social life ? How? Examples of this are not being permitted into a certain group or club, being treated differently in a social setting such as a restaurant or movie theater, being treated differently amongst friends, being treated differently in school, etc..

    Oh yeah, I will be forming the answers into my own words because I have to "integrate the information I learned " in the class, Cultural Diversity, into the interview and write a 500 word paper.

    In November, our company truck was repossessed and I need guidance in how to record it in Quickbooks. Currently the accounts associated with the truck, besides fuel and repairs obviously, are:

    Pickup Truck

    (counter asset) Accumulated Depreciation, Pickup Truck

    Depreciation Expense, Pickup Truck

    Pickup Truck Payments (Expense account)

    I'm pretty sure I just create an A/P account for it as it was a personal vehicle converted to 100% business use beginning in 2006, then close out the Asset account, but I'm not sure.

    If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

I finally found my XP Home (upgrade disk) and Windows 98 (OEM) and it starts the install just fine but then when it is verifying that I had a prior Windows OS (98) it says that I have to put in the 98 cd. Then it tells me it can't read it or it isn't a valid Windows disk.

    When I tried to just install the 98, it said it needs me to put the 98 boot disk in drive a:. I do not have a floppy drive on my laptop nor do I have an external floppy drive to use.

    Is there a way to get the install to look elsewhere, like if I download the boot disk onto my hard drive and mimic an a:? How would I do that in Linux, I'm still pretty new to it but learning a lot as I go.

    By far, using it is the best way to learn it :) It is frustrating when crap like this happens though. All I want to do is to be able to convert solely to LInux and the only program preventing this is Toontown and there are no workarounds,. I'm hoping the QEMU is the solution
