When looking at the two options, the monthly payments were much higher

In Reply to: How do you figure leasing is less expensive? - sm
if buying, I mean by double in many cases. Also, my husband knows the car dealers where we bought, and they were the ones actually explained all of it to us and why most of them lease! I'd rather pay under 300 a month forever than pay 500 or more a month for 5 or 6 years for the same car. Yes, you may not have car payments for a few years but what are you really saving based on the above? Plus, NO repairs and always having a brand new car. Some even come with free OnStar and satelite radio for a year, and other perks like that. Oh, I've bought many times in the past; and for me this is just a much better deal. To each his own.

With mine, you can set it up for monthly
or just a single payment and make the payment each time.
3 payments....sm
I was in contact with them and didn't ignore them but at the three month point there was no hope. I had tried a payment arrangement a few months before and was able to do half of it, but I kept getting in deeper and eventually just couldn't make any payments. I don't know your situation, but try seeing if they'll work with you. Even after I missed the payments they still went higher up to see if they could do something else (they couldn't) b/c they have been getting so many voluntary surrenders of cars recently. Good luck.
monthly plan her with 10.00 extra for unlimited testing = 30/mo. no msg

Tell me why you are behind on payments and you don’t want husband to know
Are you the one responsible for certain bills- was the money used for something else, just why?
Not always true about minimum payments - sm
One of my kids was seen in the emergency department last April and we didn't get a bill for the visit until September. The outstanding bill was about 800.00.
As I have always done in the past, I made payments, no less than 100.00 per month to get it down. Along with the second statement in October was a letter from the hospital stating that we would need to choose one of three payment plans.
1. Payment in full.
2. Two installments for half of the balance each time.
3. Apply for a credit account at 18.9% interest.
This was definitely something new and I ignored it. There was NO way I was going to choose any of those three when I have always done as I was doing, making payments of no less than 100.00 per month until the balance was paid off.
Guess what.... when the balance was down to 200.00, they turned it over to collection. Yep. Turned it over.
Be very careful.
Anybody see the new thing now that internet companies including Comcast are going to monitor monthly
internet usage.
yeah, tired. monthly plan HERE w/10 mo. extra for unltd texting. nm

Be very careful about credit card payments
I just paid off my Visa to the tune of over 7,000.00. This was what was posted but did not take into consideration the interest charges put on- I got a bill for $1.50 so I thought ok will send that in, I was a day late- (no excuse, just overlooked) and they had put my interest- get this from a low 10 to 117.16 for that month- now what would happen if I owed a REALLY BIG amount- I would never get that paid- how it worked out was I owe them now $15.59 which I think will pay before time. Just be aware, folks! These folks are ruthless....
So send $2 a month. You will be making payments

if insurance falls through start making payments NOW
I'm not trying to jinx you, but in the event you make too much money to qualify for insurance, you can start making payments now to the hospital and an OB for care and labor/delivery. I am due May 8 and even though we have insurance (kind of crappy insurance) it is still a butt load of money for an uncomplicated birth. We started making monthly payments from the start to the hospital and the OB so it wouldn't be so bad all at once.
Also, if you do qualify for Medicaid and WIC (and this is your first baby like me), take advantage of any covered birthing classes and educational classes. I have taken classes and learned so much! It takes the stress off a little bit when you know what to expect. Good luck!
Higher standards?
Politicians can and do lie, take bribes, get involved in all kinds of pork barrel projects, sell out to lobbyists, create jobs for their relatives, spend like there's no tomorrow, etc., etc. But heaven forbid they have sex! Why, having sex means they've lost their integrity!
Then why is there a higher incidence in the US...
where more circumcisions are done, than in countries where the majority of children are not circumcised?
"In "Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy," Edward Wallerstein writes14: "If infant circumcision reduces penile cancer we could expect to see proportionately less penile cancer in circumcising nations as compared to noncircumcising ones. No such difference is found." Wallerstein reports that, for various years between 1966 and 1972, the annual rate of new cases of penile cancer was 0.8 for the United States (which circumcises), and 0.5 for Finland, 0.9 for Denmark and 1.1 for both Norway and Sweden (all of which do not). None of these differences is statistically significant. Further, within the same time frame, both France and the United States had the same rate, 0.3, of deaths due to penile cancer.12

Our utilities are higher than average here too (Nipsco) SM
and ethanol is not really good for Indiana either. BTW, I get my milk at Walmart, it's cheaper. My kids are older, so we only use it for cereal.
Anyone who tells others that "they run in higher class circles" sm
says a lot. And the fact that you would call another person you don't even know a jerk also says tons about you. Sounds like WAYY too much guilt to me. Get help ASAP
I agree. You need to talk to teacher, possibly higher up.

options
The only option is leaving? There's no hope for a passive/aggressive? Is this really true?????
somewhere in * options *
you should have the choice of checking to alert you when an email has been read. I believe this is the case in Outlook. Not sure about the others, hotmail, yahoo, etc.
She has some options -sm
The first of which she needs to see her first shirt or commander. She could maybe get reassigned to another base stateside and not be deployed right now. She also could take emergency leave. She could also allow her parents or another close relative to take care of the child for a time. The thing is, she has signed a contract that is hard to break. While her superiors will most likely work with her, she is under obligation to serve as expected along with everyone else. If she goes AWOL, as someone suggested, she is subject to jail time when she is caught (and believe me, the military can find you!). Been connected with the military for 45 years now. That is just the way it is.
There many Catholic options

I would give her 2 options
Someone did this to me. I told her there were 2 options if she needed my help this badly. I told her that I do work, just from home so her options were:
1. Since it takes time away from my work, she would need to make up the income lost including transportation costs. Since I make about $20 an hour, she would owe me at least that much each time I had to drive her kid plus a transportation fee of $5 a day (gas and what not).
2. If she didn't want to pay, than she would get to take care of my kids at her house when she was off of work. If that meant she was off at 6, got home at 6:30, and still needed to do what needed to be done at home (dinner, cleaning, spending quality time with her family), she would have my kid with her so that I could work since I had to take time off to help her out. If I had to work at night, she could watch my kid (or just take my kid to work with her if she wanted her nights).
Needless to say, that made her realize that I do, in fact, have a job and she would need to rely on someone else. She wasn't willin to pay $25 a day nor was she willing to give up her nights for my child.
do they have vegetarian options
As I am vegetarian, would like to check into it further, but if they do not take this into account, do not want to waste the time. Thanks
A couple of options
I would try to host your own. They should be understanding that you want to celebrate being a new couple doing the family things. Or you could go to one on Thanksgiving day, the other on the day after and then do the opposite for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Ask your husband what he thinks, certainly he knows his family well enough to be able to know how they would take it.
They do have payment options
it may be if you're not already in arrears with them, but I have had a payment plan with them before. When you file for the automatic extension, it only allows that the deadline to file the return itself is extended to August 15th, but if you are going to owe, you are still supposed to pay by April 15th. (What's the point, right?) I think it is more a means for people who have complicated returns to get more time to complete them, but still have to estimate how much they owe and go ahead and pay that.
I did about a month ago. There are other options.
Workin at the Q. Money is real tight.
But there are internet sites like Hulu where you can watch TV shows for free. Also at least I know on NBC who can watch some TV shows on there for free, too. Just about any news channel you can watch recorded news stories and sometimes even live if something major is going on.
Also, I found on YouTube that you can watch shows and movies. They have started putting commercials on them, though (same with Hulu). But who cares, you would have to see them on cable TV, anyway.
There are actually a ton of internet sites. I actually got into watching old *Kojak* reruns on Hulu (I know, but I liked that show back when.) They have a ton of old shows.
There is also Netflix or Redbox - you can get the cheaper options for movies.
I can watch my local news on the internet, too.
So, just seek out what options are out there for you. I figure even if it is only temporary (I have some job interviews this week) I can still watch things on TV but on the internet until things are better.
Honestly though, I will have to think about that because I haven't missed my cable TV not one bit.
Have at it. You are limiting yourself to options daily.

You may not feel that you are limiting YOUR options SM
but it sure sounds like you would try to limit other people's options. What a sad, intolerant attitude. The fact of the matter is that there are gay/lesbian people in the world and there have always been. They are human and they have rights and they have needs and some companies are giving them the opportunity to purchase what they want/need. Not all stores are bible outlet stores or catering to the PG audience.
I agree about society and options, etc. (as
You don't have to have an eating disorder to be thin. Not everyone who is thin has an eating disorder.
Don't wish that horrible fate upon yourself.
If you want to lose weight, just set your mind to do it. Decide before every meal, snack, or drink you have, if what you're eating is undermining your desire to look better and be more healthy, and decide if instant gratification is more imporant that this.
Oh, and by the way, just because you are thinner, does not mean people will give you more attention. Believe it or not, it is what's inside that counts to the people who really love and know you. Yeah, you might turn more heads, but you are still the same person inside.
Having said all that, I do agree that society does judge people on their appearance.... beauty, body, blah blah blah... I could go on about my philosophy of that, but I'll save it for another time :-)
There are a lot of options for at-home high school (sm)
There are many online high schools used for homeschooling. Some community colleges and 4-year colleges and universities have high school homeschooling options to check into. You may also have the option of her taking some college classes, but watch out...they may be run by gays and lesbians. What is wrong, again, with a gay and lesbian club?
Even higher bill w/3 cells & a land line, but sound quality & customer service are good.
s
simply explain that for several years KFC has had many side options
nm
not normal...usually a plan covers all the fancy phone options sm
if that was my phone bill I would freak out. Heck I don't even pay that much for electricity during hot summer air-conditioning months. A good cell phone plan, with data included should not even cost that much because you get allowances for texting, etc. whose ever that is really needs to revisit their contract.
