In September I cosigned on an apartment for my niece and her friend.  At the time I had been to the ER three times with 102+ temp, then went in the hospital for about 2 weeks (know that is no excuse).  I actually do not remember signing the lease and believe me if I had read it I never would have let her sign because it has so any restrictions..  To make  a long story short, they have now moved out and the lease says in order to break it, they must pay 893 plus 2 months rent (another 1200 total).  Well guess who the sucker is left holding the bill on this one?  My niece says she has no money and won't even ask the other girl for her half.  Just a warning do not ever cosign anything unless you want to pay in the long run - I either pay or it goes on my credit - anybody have any suggestions or any ideas if I can do anything else without going broke?

Thanks

If the cards are in your name and he is just an authorized user, then he would have had to sign your name to it somewhere.  That's fraud, even if you are married.   If you have contact info for the card companies, I would follow the advice that someone else wrote and contact the card companies and get copies of the original applications.  You can use that as proof that he's a lying scumbag and he'll get stuck with those bills (hopefully).  Good luck.

This actually references some statute information that might be relevant to your case.  I just skimmed through it, but this might be helpful.

The waterfall idea I had was obviously to make my own, but creating out of pottery, or a like substance and having it fired.  However, I've no experience and tho I am keenly interested, I am afraid it would be quite time consuming.  I would like to propose before Christmas.

I did not say he was in his right mind- sm
it is never right, just saying maybe childbirth, etc. made him be *tupid- who knows, who cares at this point. No need for you to be a total witch about it. I had not read all the posting when I posted, what is your excuse? I am more concerned about her current children. If he is a pedophile she needs to see if he had done anything with her/their own kids.

Only in your mind (nm)

Mind your own
I doubt that getting the stick is so heinous, or the child wouldn't have chosen it. What the child did was deliberately deceptive, which is really one of the worst offenses. When a child believes he is so clever he can outwit the parent, there is trouble brewing.

Like others have said, DHS is not the best solution and once you get them involved, you can't un-ring that bell. If you see the child with marks on him or limping from injuries, that's different. As it is, stay out of it.

A J Cowling and OJ come to mind........

Oh yeah I did watch it - and still felt *inundated* - it became prime time TV.....it preempted many TV shows.....

And as far as you not thinking he did the deed - you're entitled to your opinion - just as we all are.  I believe he did it and it's as simple as that, TO ME.  To me, he HAS the legs - legs that were/ are known for running!! 

Have a great Sunday...........

I actually dont mind others using....
a cell phone if I am in a store as long as it is not to argue with family etc. My son has one and sometimes he will use it in a store to call me and ask me something regarding an item I asked to grab for me while there etc. I have also heard husbands talking to their partners asking questions regarding food shopping while in an isle. That doesnt seem to bother me at all..

Brings to mind
Michael Jackson's little court room dramatics- hobbling into court in his PJs acting like he was at deaths door.

Do they really think the judge is gonna go "ohhh, poor thing, I can't send them to jail if they don't feel well!" Gimme a break!

Paris's "medical condition" is obviously not so severe that it kept her from going out and getting drunk and driving.

And please, I had a friend who had full blown AIDS and was still required to serve most of his sentence.

Okay, losing my mind. I now see it! Thanks for the help. nm

That's a weight off your mind!
Glad it was just a contact allergy to something avoidable.

I can't touch roses myself.

Okay, I don't mind paying
to make sure everything is in order! Thanks for all the advice!

Would you mind sharing?
My mom used to always keep a copy of The Pill Book which had pics of medications as well as info about them. When my son and my niece were little, they would play doctor (REAL doctor, not the other kind! LOL) and use The Pill Book to prescribe things for each other.

Mind if I ask who you're going with
we need to make some changes (going wireless as we now have three computers and only two are wired to the modem right now) and are considering getting a cell phone again (haven't had one for years, but had Sprint about eight years ago and felt that the clarity was better with their service than the experiences we've had talking to people who use some of the other services today). We have BellSouth, now AT&T, for phone/DSL and also had our Direct TV service set up through one of their special offers a couple of years ago. I haven't had time lately to take a look at available options for combining and saving, transitioning to wireless, etc., so I hope you don't mind if I pick your brain a litte bit. Oh, we do have a security system, but it is not currently being monitored and one of our puppies chewed first the carpet and then the SS wiring, so now just a trouble light there and will have to call someone out to repair the wiring. I have wondered about Walton EMC for that, but the computer issues and possibly dropping the LAN line for a cell are what's really got me thinking about this.

I sure would appreciate any insight you could offer. Thanks, and have a peachy day!

Mind my business?
You rude ( I cant say on here what I would like so I will leave it to your imagination). If I was minding her business don't you think I would be calling her or going over there. No I am not. I AM minding my own business. I am well aware that a person can do what they like with a gift or card they get. But what a rude person to just put a card in a drawer that someone went to the trouble of sending. It doesn't change the fact it is rude. Don't tell me to mind my own business. You are probably one of those people who has no friends so of course you wouldn't have in insightful info on any experiences with friends. Therefore don't answer my posts. Concern for a friend does not make me clingy. Yes we talked all the time on the phone and emailed a lot. Why wouldn't I be concerned when that stopped? I have a life. I have a job, a husband, a son, and many pets. I have plenty to occupy my time. But I am not the type of person to not show concern.

Do you mind if I ask your age..I understand

This crossed my mind too (sm)
It could be anything along these lines...maybe as simple as a strip club or maybe much worse. But yes, don't panic or let him know you are suspicious or you will have a much harder time catching him if anything is going on.

Clearly to blame for what? In your mind. nm

To ease your mind
I told my internist I had a problem with my thyroid, knew what it was because of the obvious symptoms- however when the test results came back they called endocrinologist and I got in almost immediately. You see, the difference is a physician's office calling as opposed to you or me. I have learned that little trick and have asked other offices to call for me because they can get a person seen earlier. I did not have a nodule but I have hypothyroidism and treated with medication alone. Hey, we must have seen the same person - I was told the endocrinologist did not have a good bedside manner- just means he was not talkative or personable- would not let that bother me either.

you mind if we have a little hope here???
bet you slam everything.

Keep in mind I have zero experience with this, but...sm
first, has your mother told her lawyer about all of this?  I would think her lawyer would have advice, or at least can refer her to someone in the know.  Maybe she can charge your father really high rent with legal repercussions (eviction) if he fails to pay up?  If your father has a girlfriend, why can't he live with her?  Can he sell his 7 acres?  Obviously I don't have a clue, just sharing thoughts in my head.  What a tough situation; I feel bad you and your family have to go through this.

I don't mind at all that you sent my email along.
There is plenty of training material available to scout leaders on the transition period and how to help the boys stay in scouting. There are videos, training sessions run by people like me, written material, etc. It's out there. It's just hard to get it through some of the leaders' brains that the boys need to be treated like boys in transition, and not like army recruits. I really applaud you for being willing to go out on the trips with the troop. That is also a hard thing to do with so many men around. I looked very carefully when my boys were crossing over to scout troops. We are fortunate in our area to have many troops to choose from. We found a great troop headed by mostly even-thinking adults who had no problem with a woman joining them. It's not perfect, and every now and then, some sexist fool says or does something stupid, but nothing is ever insurmountable in that regard. Know that having women leaders is a unit option, which means that the chartering organization can decide that no girls are allowed, so to speak. This is sometimes done for religious reasons. Other times it's just sort of a tacit tradition. I didn't have to overcome that issue, and in fact, when it was discovered that I had been camping all my life and was an avid solo backpacker, I got the job of teaching the boys about backpacking, too. Our troop welcomed all volunteers who were willing to be trained and who could commit to helping the boys.

I do hope it works out for your son. If you do join as a leader, be sure that you take advantage of all the training opportunities available to you. Your troop should have a training coordinator or advancement chair who knows when training is offered. (By the way, are the adult leaders of this troop fully trained? That's VERY important.) As a GSUSA leader, you should understand the value of training. The Girl Scouts really do a great job of requiring leaders to be trained. BSA councils and districts, however, sometimes vary on how strict they are on training requirements. Don't be afraid to help out. You're doing this for your son, and that really is a great motivator. And what's really cool is that most of us start out wanting to help our own sons, but in the process we help so many other boys and parents along the way.

Good luck!

nothing comes to mind offhand, but
I know I have a few of them. A typo I make regularly, however, is when typing the word *and* . . . it never fails when typing fast, I always type *nad* LOL

Reminds me now of how we always laugh about the hair remover called NADS . . . what were they thinking? LOL!

OMG!! That's it. I wondered why mind was so.....sm

explosive and obviously ready to fight over just anything.  Why I never took this into consideration I will never know, but that is so right on!!
