  • Would you buy a house if the front yard is on a major slope coming toward the house?

    Would you buy a house if the front yard is on a major slope coming toward the house and the back yard is only big enough to back up and turn around so you drive out and the only yard you have is on one side that also slopes downward. And your water meter is shared with your neighbor were you have to check how many gallons of water you use so your not paying half of theirs each month plus the house was built in 1978. Beautiful house and it's had some work on it so it's really nice but.......It comes with 7 1/2 acres but the only level part of the property is way on the far side away from the house. Has lots of deer on it too. If your a hunter. Their asking $150,000.

  • Daughters 6 month old pup has Parvo?

    Ok, On Wednesday afternoon her pup was running around and just playing like crazy, Suddenly he gets sick and throws up. We thought he had ate something that he shouldn't have but he would be ok at least by the next day. He stopped eating and but was drinking. Then on Friday he stopped drinking. We got him to the vet and they tested him for parvo that came back positve. It had only been a day and a half since he got sick. The vet gave him IV and antibiotic. He also gave him a plasma treament? (I think thats what it is called. ) It comes from a well dog to help a sick dog out. Either way, we took him home and started another IV that took 10 hours to complete. Thats what the vet wanted. Since the Vet is closed on weekends is why we felt we needed to treat him at home. There's no one there 24 hours so anything could have happen and he would have been alone all weekend. Anyway. The Vet did open a couple of hours Saturday and they called to check on him. He had perked up a little. Started drinking again and kept it down. He ended up spliting a little up later but just a little. His stool was never bloody when I first notice his bowel movements. But at the vet they were really bloody. And it was bloody Saturday morning. We have done exactly what they told us to do so far and have sat with him 24 hours each day. Someone is always with him no matter what or how long. The vet told my daughter it woudl get worse before it got better. What does that mean?! His stool is still bloody, he drinks but his spliting up of more of it then Friday evening. He only has like two movements a day and everything on the internet says he should have at least 4+ even it he isn't eating. I understand everything it has said but I don't know how many days will his stool stay bloody once treatment is started. I felt like we got him to the vet pretty quick. Most web site said at least within 2 days after symptoms show. We got him there in a day and half and got treament started. Right now I'm concern because I don't know what to expect between now and Monday when the vet opens since they said it would get worse before it gets better. Is throwning up greenish yellow stuff normal during treament? Is still having bloody stool normal for a few days. Can someone that knows anything about this please help me help my daughter?! She is so upset cause we are really doing everything we can. I feel lost with the vet being closed till Monday and not knowing what is normal during the treament and recovery time.I have research on the web but it never tells me what is normal during the recovery time and what is not. HELP PLEASE!

  • Can I use deduction from a prior year?

    I found some deductions that weren't used in a prior year so I want to use them now. Like their major deductions!! Interest paid on mortgage, property taxes!! I mean really?? I always let my husband use them but for what ever reason he hasn't. Yes we file separate because I can get back money and he can't. So, can I use the deduction from a prior year on my taxes? That's a lot of money on the table!

  • My husband took out loan on home and they have me as "Borrower" yet I'm not on the loan?

    I bought the house before I met my husband. After we married we wanted to purchase some land so I took out a loan agaisnt my house and had both our names on the loan. Court house shows me as first owner and his as second. We ended up not getting the land but he made some bad choices and went behind my back and got approved for a loan on my/our house. The bad choices caused me to have "NO" choice but to sign the documents so I didn't loss my home. The loan he got is in his name only but it shows me as a "Borrower" even though I'm not on the loan itself. His lost his job now and can't make the payments as easy as before. The loan company he was with that had me on as a "Borrower", sold his loan to another company known as Select Profolio [bad company, really bad company!] After reserching this company I have discovered that when you ask for a pay off amount they won't return your request or conact you any more. They just find a reason to foreclose on you. Even if you make your payments on time. Many complaints about this company on the net but it doesn't seem like anyone can get any relief or justice done. So I have two questions to ask. First: I want to pay off the principle balance owed by a cashier check; I know there will still be an amount owned as far as the "pay off amount" being different from the principle balance owed. I don't want to contact them to ask what the 'pay off amount is" in fear they will find a reason to foreclose on my home even when I can pay them off. If I pay off the principle balance can they still foreclose? Or if my husband decides to let them foreclose can they come after me for balance owed since the first finance company had me as a "borrower" even though my name is not on the loan itself? I'm just trying to find the best way to pay off this loan so they can't foreclose on him. I'm thinking the only reason it has me as a "Borrower" is to show I am aware "he" has borrowed against the house; not so much that I have to pay his loan back. And I'm not even sure if this company can use the loan agreement the other company had. We never signed anything with this company after the loan was sold to them. He just got a letter in the mail one day saying it had been sold to Select Portfolio and his payments would go to them.

    My husband means well but he just doesn't think sometimes. Or ask me to reseach anything before he just jumps into something. I honestly don't want to put money into the house doing repairs if in the end their just going to foerclose on him anyway. So I need some good advise here. Can they come after me if he lets them foreclose or if I pay off the principle balance can they still foreclose, even if the only thing left owing is the difference from the pay off amount?

  • So at work my supervisor has finally......?

    realized she needs to do something about supervising the department. She's been our supervisor for a few years years now.... maybe 8 years? She has a strange way of picking her friends that's for sure. We have what they call a Lead Clerk. They don't really do anything except make sure everyone has something to do and they report to her. I've done it before, it's just a glorified name is all. Anyway. We have these GALLUP Surveys we do and it helps to determine what type raise the managers will get. Well hers had been going down hill in flames so now she's trying to fix it. She has sent this email to us and we have 5 questions on it to answer. I wanted to see how all of you would answer a couple of these.

    First question: When you achieve success at work, how do you like to be recognized?

    Our system usually gives out these WOW cards when you do something they think is great. Catch is not all of us can get a WOW because of the shift we work. There are no mangers here to see what you do, we don't have much contact with other workers, and the WOW cards are just stupid anyway. You get three of them and big freaking deal..you get a $2 gift and a chance to park closer to the doors! LOL!! And not to mention even when I or my friend got one all she did was make a copy of ours and put it in our file. Everyone on the day shift that got one had it posted in the hallway of the department. So it sort shows you how she felt about us. Out of sight- out of mind. The day shift wants pizza parties and green time. Green time is where you can leave work early and it doesn't count against you. Problem with that is I work alone and so does my friend. Green time is out for us and the pizza party. What are some other options for this?

    The next question is; As you look ahead to the next 12 months,what recognition would you like to achieve?

    My friend and I haven't got any recognition in years. We really do more work then the others. We have have to help the whole system alone while the days shift only deals with location we work from. They actually have way less work to do because their 6 of them and only one of us. And the computer system can show them that. Like I said, out of sight out of mind. So I hope that maybe I can get a few nice ideas from you folks. I sort of want to make a point to her that she forgets about us on 3rd shift.

  • what type Lawyer would you call?

    if you are doing work that is not a part of your job description? Myself and another lady are working for two companies at the same time without being paid by one of them. We work at a hospital and these doctors work in the same area as we do. They hire their own personal but when their personal go home for the day myself and another lady are made to fill in for them. We don't get any compensation for it. One other co-work fills in for 4 hours but he is compensated. The doctors buy him lunch everyday and then buy him a Christmas gift each year, just as they do for their personal. And he gets better raises then us and we've been here for over 20 years!!! We get nothing! Not even a Thank You. No other co-worker in our department is made to do this same work. It does not go on our evaluations either. Our co-workers get better evaluations then us when they do less work! So what type lawyer would handle this for us. Civil Rights? I don't feel this is fair at all. Our evaluation are the same as everyone else with the exception we are forced to work for free for these doctors.

  • Falsification of documents?

    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is an example of falsification of documents. I bought a truck back in 2006. The finance company I was with was bought out by a bigger company 9 months later. My contract stated my first payment was due Nov. 8, 2006. Along with my payment book that also had it was due Nov. 8, 2006. Each payment was due on the 8th of the month with a 10 day grace period and if I paid after the 10 days then all I had to pay a late charge was $50. It stated" Not to exceed $50" .Ok when this company took over in 2007 [ which I wasn't even made aware of until 2010] I never had a problem. Then they were caught making profits that weren't according to the SEC and was charged with conflict of interest. To make a long short short. They did something that was illegal and got caught by the SEC and charged. After this took place I began getting all kind of letters from them stating my payment was late, even though I can prove it wasn't. Then I noticed that they had changed my due date to reflect the payments were due two weeks earlier then they were. As if they were pro-rating my account which was not in my contract. This was also sent to the credit burial which is totally false Information. Do you think this a form of "Falsification of Documents"? Since they changed the due date without my knowledge? Just wondering. I plan to get a lawyer but I wanted to get opinions.

  • Daughter is Baptist , Husband is Catholic, his family wants?

    Ok my daughter has been married before but her 1st husband had an affair while she was pregnant with their first child. He later walked out on her and filed for a divorce. About 18 months later she meets this guy that is Catholic. They moved in together and he tells her that she is not allowed to ever talk or see us [her family]. Tells her his afraid we'll break them up? Only one daughter has met him and that was brief. She was invited to come over and when he returned home he got very mad and began to throw things inside the house. And was screaming and yelling. So she has not seen us in a while. She didn't want to have any trouble with him. She became pregnant with his baby and she just wanted to keep him happy for the sake of the unborn child. In January they got married at the court house with his family present. A couple of days later she left him cause he was getting very abusive toward her and her first child.He calls her begging her to return so she did. I know I know. I feel the same way but I'm not her and she was scared cause his family is very rich and he has told her he would take the baby from her cause they would help him. I don't have that kind of money so she wasn't going to ask us for any help instead she went back. His demanded that her first son, which is not his child, call him "dad" and his demanded that he calls his real "dad" by his first name. Now if his family was there the first time they married and they were wanting a wedding in the church why the heck did they not tell them that to begin with? Instead they have waited till now [11 months later] to say they "ARE" to be wed in a Catholic church. She has asked for younger sister for help with answering questions before they can be married again. Said they had to get thier marriage anulled before they can re-marry in the church. I think that's stupid since their already married, And based on what I have found on the internet under the Catholic Church this is incorrect anyway. I think his trying to find a way out of marriage but find a way to stay in his grandmothers will. She told him if he didn't raise the child Catholic she would cut him out of her will. So all this is for money from what I can see, when it comes to his end of the marriage. Papers are to be sent to my youngest but she is only 16 so I have to help her with them. Now what I don't get is this. He hates us all when his never met us. His has told my other daughter if I ever came around their son, that she just had he would have me throwen in jail!!! LOL! What ever, jerk can't throw me in jail with out a reason. None of our family has been allowed to visit her or grandsons in over a year. I plan to speak to the Bishop and ask why is it that this guy can act like this and this be acepted by the church, cause my church would never allow this attitude. And what will he do about him being abusive toward them and making treats to scare her into doing what he wants. My question is this. Why do you think his family suddenly wants them to marry in the church when they had the opportunity to speak up before. Why now when it's been almost a year they have been married. I mean it's really close to it being too late for an anullment. I think he wants out of marriage and this is their way to help him get out. What kind of people are you Catholic's? I can't believe any religon would be like this. I need better understanding. Because what I found out was, with her being married before she needs to show if was disolved, anulled, final, whatever you call it but as far as them, they can get married in the church as long as she can show she was baptisted, which she can, and show why she was divorced, which again she can.

  • I know that the CC: your email means Carbon Copy but....?

    if there's a persons name there will it go to them too. Like for instants, A co-worker and I both sent an email to our supervisor about another co-work that wasn't do their job and leaving early every day. She sent us an email back and in the Carbon Copy she put the persons name. I checked to see if she sent the other co-worker a copy as well and noticed the eo-work we spoke of above her name was "gmail.com" when ours is the company name. So is it possible our supervisor sent the other co-work a copy to her gmail address or you think that's just who our office mail goes through.

  • My check engine light?

    I have a 2002 Trailblazer. Sometimes but not all the time my "check engine light" will come on. The truck runs like a top when the light is off. But when it comes on it idols rough. Like it's trying to stall out. And when it's on the light will blink when I accelerate and then it's steady when I break. But this only happens when the light comes on. Sometimes it won't even be on and it runs fine, like it should. Gas Filter maybe? It just random when the light comes on or off. Not just when I fill up with gas. I could fill up and it be 4 days before it comes or or it may not come back on for a week. Any ideas?

  • When did/does school start for you? It started here?

    for most of the area it started Monday August 2. But due to the economy some school choose to start Thursday or Friday. They get a week off in Sept. besides Labor Day. Then a week in November for Thanksgiving. Of course two weeks for Christmas and New Years day. MLK day off. A week off in February for "WINTER BREAK". A week off in April for Spring break. Then last day is around June 5th They also have several days that are 'Early Release days" for teacher work days or Conference days. When I was in school we started after Labor day. And only had a couple days for Thanksgiving. Two weeks for Christmas and New Years day. Then spring break in April. And we got out the same time. Crazy how things have changed so.
