Either the bank or Military Surplus store.

There would be only two reasons for me to run away from my home. One reason would be voluntarily, as in winning the lottery--hence the bank. The other would also be voluntary but there would be retribution involved--hence the Military Surplus store.

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!

Military
 Well, I was in the military, and that is one of the big reasons I chose to get out! I got out in 94, so I'm not exactly sure what has changed, but here goes...
First, my mouth dropped open when I read your post! I have a 14 and 7 year old and can't imagine leaving them, sick or not! But a 3-month-old baby! When I was in, it used to be if you got pregnant, you had the choice of being discharged. Last I knew, you could request a hardship discharge, based on the circumstances of the baby being in the hospital, preemie, etc. But here's the catcher to all this...it IS the military! If they don't want to let you out, they don't have to! They can do anything they feel like! That's what is BS! Sorry, this mom should NOT be going anywhere, let alone Iraq, with her baby in this state! Wow! Okay now you got me going !
18 ONLY if they are in the military

Same here - military fixed him tho
His pants were hanging down really low and I had asked him a million times to just pull them up a little bit. He wouldn't do it.
Went to the recruiter's office with him and his recruiter met us out in the foyer between all the military offices. Son reached out to shake his hand and the recruiter instead reached over and jerked his pants down. Didn't say one word. Turned around walked into his office.
Son pulled his pants up to where they should have been. The recruiter then comes right back out, says hello, and shakes his hand.
Son never wore his pants like that again and, yes, he still enlisted. :)
If I had a child in the military now,
sorry but probably would do as a lot of families did for Vietnam war and that was to head for the border, namely Canada. I thought if gay in the military, supposed to try and keep it quiet?? These to me are ever bit as bad as protesting at funeral of AIDS patients. You have some really sick people in this world to do things like this and please, like you, I don't want to get started on the other folks president in Washington.
Was that supervisor in the military or something?
One day you should have all plotted together and when she came in the room, jumped up and saluted. ROFL
I had a barium enema quite a while ago and my splenic flexure goes up really high and then twists. Sometimes gas will get stuck in there and it will hurt like the dickens. I'm glad I had the BE, though, because I know what it is and that it will pass in a little while. If it didn't, I would be at the urgent care pronto.
Sons in Military - Thank You
Thanks, next time I hear from either one of my children, I'll ask them about this. I wonder why the military just doesn't supply them with it ????? Thanks so much.
yes her husband is in the military.

military appreciation??
I'm trying to help my son with his writing project. the subject is military appreciation. I can't think of anything they do for us other than fight for our country/rights and help out in times of need (such as in Katrina)
anybody have any ideas?
military appreciation
Can he send a letter to a deployed soldier and write about doing that for school? When my husband was in Iraq, he loved getting mail from kids.
Also, he could look up different occupations they do, such as Seabees help rebuild war torn countries. They also built a bridge in Maine to help the sea life. Let me know, I can email articles.
Being a military spouse, I think that...
she should qualify for unemployment, but not indefinitely. She paid in to California unemployment insurance and had to relocate because her spouse is serving our country. She should, in my opinion, be able to draw on unemployment from California for a reasonable period of time until she can get another job. However, that is one of the reasons I like this job. I take it with me whenever I move.
Heh. Try military medicine
My husband woke up with RUQ pain, which got progressively worse. I took him to the navy hospital ER. They said he had a GI bug and told him to go home, drink fluids, yada yada yada.
We got about 10 minutes from the hospital when he started kicking and punching the inside of my car because of his pain. I knew immediately what it was because I had seen both my dad and uncle go thru it.
I flew back to the hospital and drove up to the ambulance dock, which was closer to the ER. He was telling me not to park there - he'd get into trouble. I told him I didn't give a rat's behind, that he was sick and that's where he was going. There were 2 guys sitting in the ambulance who helped him into the waiting room while I parked the car.
We sat in the waiting room for a couple of hours. They finally called him back. Every so often, the corpsman came out and gave me an update. I finally, almost rudely, asked him if they considered doing an IVP or a cystoscopy because of the location and severity of the pain? He looked at me and mumbled something about them thinking about doing an IVP. Anyway, he had a massive kidney stone. So, they sent him home (this was on a Friday) with Tylox (Percocet equivalent). He threw up all weekend and we thought it was due to the narcotics. I didn't know better. Narcotics had made me throw up before too.
I rushed him back Monday morning and he was admitted immediately. He was septic and close to septic shock. The uro doc said his ureters looked like tissue paper and they had to place stents in both of them. Then, he finally gets discharged with a stent in his bladder, that was kept open, so he constantly dribbled urine. One or two days later, I heard a loud moan. He walked out of the bathroom with the stent in his hand. They hadn't placed it right.
Anyone still want government run healthcare?
Please remember our military today!
Happy 4th to everyone! Please just take a minute today to remember all of our wonderful, brave men and women who have fought to make this day possible. This is not just another holiday to get time and a half, or just another day to complain about no work, bad hours, etc. This is a day to celebrate our freedom, the freedom that is made possible by every member of our military!!
Please remember them in your prayers today.
A military man shot his wife
This man was our son's recruiter when our son signed with the military three years ago. We had several meetings with him. He was a "fun" guy to be around, always smiling, always happy. But now, this and I can't get over the sick feeling in my stomach. He is on the run, of course. He left behind his little boy, with no mother and now no father. Temporary insanity?????
She needs her keester booted into the military!
Let them apply that tough love and discipline and she can even get herself an education, food, medical care, and housing.
Military wife with a suggestion

I pay most through my bank
Most banks offer a bill payment option. I get to pick and choose when and what and how much. I love this option as I generally seem to forget to buy stamps! Out of all my household bills, only one is not paid online and it is simply dropped off.
Does anyone not use a bank?
I'm getting so sick of fees and am tired of trying to second guess my bank. Does anyone not use one or not have a checking account?
use a bank
I would recommend trying to find a credit union. They are more user friendly. I have been using one for over 15 years now and never looked back. There are Very few, if any fees and good service. Hope this helps.
bank
I have used a credit union for 31 years. If you can find a credit union in your area, it is the best way to go if you think you have to have a bank. I only have a savings account at a credit union so I can cash my check for free, but I still have to deposit some of it or they will charge me. Otherwise, Wal-Mart will cash your check for a fee and you can buy money orders for like 35 cents a piece at Wal-Mart. that works for me cuz I only have 6 bills, mortgage, gas, lights, water, car insurance, phone to pay. Or listen to financial guru's like Dave Ramsey and see what they have to say about it. Also there is checkfinder.com. They have some rules but may be the best way if you feel like you have to have a bank/checking account.
If it is like my bank they will cover you up to $500 -sm
and you have 3 days to payback the bank, which you already did. You did not have anything bounce, so no one will have notices saying not to accept your checks. The bank will be charging you though for their service of covering for you, so you may need to put in another $100 or so to cover that before Friday, check with the bank. You can probably manage your account on-line, check into it, great way to make sure you don't over draw yourself. I try to keep $1000 in the savings account for such emergencies, also with my bank they will automatically transfer the money in from savings to checking if I do overdraft for no charge since I have the money there.
You should have just cashed it at their bank - sm
I know in the past that a bank had to cash a check drawn on their bank; they may charge you $5 to do this if you do not have an account there (I have had that happen recently. Did that years ago when an ex-boyfriend owed me money, took me 2 months to beat $150 out of him; day I got the check from him I took it to his bank and cashed it to be on the safe side.) I have no idea what they do if the funds are not there, but was under the impression they had to cash it no matter what. But if you deposit it, and it bounces you will not see a dime of it and the bank will charge you a couple bucks for their inconvenience. The store will get slammed with a bounced check charge though. The bank should mail the check back to you if it does bounce though so you can re-deposit it at a later date hopefully when the funds are there; at least that is what mine would do when a former employers checks to me would bounce from time to time (and I would be charged $3 for it bouncing which stunk). If you deposited before 2 (sounds like you did not though) you will have the money tomorrow, if it was after 2 then it wil be there on Friday; check in the morning of whichever day is applicable and you will have your answer. Good luck.
I really do not resemble a bank so therefore
do not loan, give money away. The best way you can lose a friend or family members is when money gets involved. I, in your instance, would put distance between me and the other person, sounds like just using a good thing.
I said closing the bank...
…NM
Yes, and we have separate bank accounts ;)

Anyone who has banking with Bank of America
you might want to know that the CEO of this bank has decided to let illegals have accounts here in the United States. No matter they are here illegally. I am in the process of changing banks.
Used to work in a bank, under some circumstances...
they will waive the fees, as another poster said, call them and explain the situation. I would do this occasionally after looking over the person' s account and taking a few things into consideration. Overdraft protection, as stated before, is a great idea too. I keep a $400 to $500 cushion in my account; as far as I am concerned, when I only have that much in there I consider it $0. BTW, how can you not know when DH gets paid? Is he on commission or something? Good luck, call the bank, they should be able to help you.
Also at my bank if you have direct deposit
of your paychecks you can get a direct deposit advance on your check and that does get posted to your account immediately. Has saved my butt more than once! LOL
If you are serious contact the seller/bank- sm
and make an offer. How low they will go depends on how long they have been trying to sell, what they have invested in it. IF the previous owners owed a lot on it, the bank will probably still want fair market value. Years ago I thought about buy the house next door to my parents (about 3500 sq ft with a huge 2 car garage and an old pool that either needed to be filled in or total destroyed and redone), I went through it with the relator. The house was about 30 years old then, the previous owners and their 6 kids had basically destroyed it, burned/scratched up hardwood floors, broken doors, windows, etc. the kitchen was original from 1964 as were the bathrooms, etc. It needed lots of work, a new roof, you name it, it needed it. The bank would not take less than $200K-- I was not willing to spend that kind of money on a house that needed at least $100K worth of work on it. They eventually got some sucker to pay it though; and boy did they spend some cash on it. Looks great now and work about $400K at least, but they probably spent that much to fix it and buy it. --- one note of caution when you buy a forecloser though, I believe previous owner has a year to reclaim the property-- if they show up with back payments in hand, etc. they can take the house back from you, improvements and all and you do not get a penny back. So be subtle in your home improvements or wait a year to do anything major.
My bank has free on-line pay so I pay all
of them except 1 that I have to send in the paper account info on. I also like on-line paying because I can set up my payments in advance for the due date when the bills come in and don't forget to send something in.
New Bank Policy on Credit
I went to the bank today to apply for a new line of credit... they had this sign posted outside the door.
Check to see if your bank has any programs
Wachovia has a "way to save" account. Every time your use your debit card, they take $1 out of your checking account and put it in a savings account. We have been doing that for about a year now and have built up about $1500. It's nice because it's automatic and you don't even have to think about it.
I have 4 bank accts and pay no fees at all.

"I ran over your mother in line at the bank
That was a cute game!
he did not handle money at his last job with a bank.
Just because a person has bad credit, does not mean he's dishonest. He did not bounce checks. He did not live beyond his means. He got caught in a layoff. It's a huge stretch from being jobless to embezzlement for crying out loud. There are many jobs at a bank that do not have anything to do with money.
The way things are going with this economy, some of you might be in this situation. I'll be sure to thumb my nose at you when you start wondering what happened.
Is there a debit card available where a bank
?
How can he check bank accounts
I have my own accounts, that is right, mine, not his. He is not allowed to see my accounts. I have more than him and I do what I please with MY money. I made, received,and had before our marriage so literally it is mine.
file garnishment on bank account
so it hits his account the same day he deposits pay checks (usually Friday).
Lawsuit! How to find a company's bank?
Ok, this is it and hope you can help me. I purchased a dinette suit 04/01/2006. The company said 4-6 weeks before delivery. Paid $640.93. I never got my furniture. I called, got very few calls back from them and finally decided last July after asking for my money back to file a lawsuit. The company did not answer the first filing in 45 days and then had to put in for a default. Just went to court today finally and got a default. By the way, the company did not appear in court!! Now I can go for a garnishment of the company with this documentation but do not have a clue as to where I would find out which bank this company does business with. If anyone able to give me any insight on this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
no, nobody knows but the bank, they will cover checks you wrote
nm
Either online or by phone with bank card. sm
I can't even remember the last time I mailed a check to anyone.
I'll bet Bank of America isn't liking this
In a revealing example of what she says the average homeowner faces, a California Congresswoman spent more than two hours on the phone trying, without success, to find someone at the Bank of America who could help a struggling constituent modify his mortgage payments. ABC News "Nightline" cameras were rolling as Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Ca.) was repeatedly put on hold for long stretches, disconnected, transferred to extensions that did not work and ultimately switched to a recording which directed her to the bank's website.
"The average American trying to negotiate a loan modification will not be able to get it done," said Waters. "It will be impossible for them to get in touch with the right person, and even if they get in touch with a so-called counselor, they have a cookie cutter kind of direction that they go in."
Heard several weeks ago about bank scam
My husband received email the other day from Bank of America asking him to update his files, which of course includes social and the like. We had heard and funny because he does not even have an account there. I also received a call from a person who said she represented BOA wanting to know how I was enjoying my acct. Told them working, no time to talk.
Did you talk to a bank or mortgage company and see if you can get pre-approved? Seems
s
Talk to a local bank or credit union.
That is a HUGE downpayment and that will more than likely offset any bad juju as far as credit rating. You may be pleasantly surprised...we were and we also had crappy credit but because of the large downpayment, that worked in our favor and were able to get an incredible rate with a local bank. Above anything else, avoid those pieces of crap you see advertised on TV and on the computer. Nothing but predators that should be smacked upside their heads with a 2x4.
Change your bank account on file with Vonage Right NOW!

Well, in a bank he would be handling money, so I think it's a legit reason to not hire. sm
To me, it makes perfect sense to not hire someone based on poor credit when that person would be working in an environment such as a bank, handling funds, etc. I see less reason to do so in other jobs, but in a bank, sure, it seems only logical to me. Sorry.
