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.
Contact Ebay again.
It may just be delayed shipping with all the holiday rush. I haven't shipped anything this year but in the past the post office has told me they don't guarantee the same as normal.
It is mainly the fact that the seller will not..sm
respond to any emails. All he has to do is respond and say yes it has been shipped. It leads me to believe he is avoiding me.
I think I would make one more attempt with the seller..sm
and if no compromise can be made, then I would contact E-bay.
Personally, I wouldn't buy anything from E-bay, just for that reason, but that is just me. I am not a very trusting person. I hope you get your money back.
I think it is true that the seller has to disclose this
fact.
This way the buyer can decide if he still wants to buy and live in this house.
Assume he buys the house, then neighbors tell him the story. He might freak out and not want anymore to live in this house.
Some people are superstitious and believe even in ghosts or that this house may be haunted.
I think there is even a law in real estate that demands that the seller discloses all flaws of the house and does not keep anything hidden.
Honestly, I myself would not buy a house where somebody committed suicide or was murdered.
I remember when we bought a house, the agent even told us that the father of the owner had died in this house, a natural death, and he showed us exactly in what room and where.
I thought it was a strange disclosure, but it is obvious the law.
Is he a high-volume "power seller"?
A lot of the "Power Sellers" who do mega sales often don't respond to emails of any kind, even a question about the item before you place a bid. If he has tons of feedback and lots of items listed for sale, he might be one of those types of sellers.
It's frustrating to pay for something and then endure the long wait for it to arrive, so you have my sympathy. Hopefully it arrives soon :-).
ebay all the way.nm

Go to Ebay
Type in Busch Gardens Coupons and there was one on there for the Williamsburg area.
Don't buy them on eBay. sm
You can make a poodle skirt from felt. You will have to approximate your daughter's waist measurements, but a poodle skirt is basically a full circle with a zipper and a waistband. Since you make it from felt, you don't need to do a hem or anything like that. If you buy 72" felt, no seams at all are needed.
Then use the same pattern to make the petticoats. Get really stiff nylon netting and make a drawstring waistband. Make it maybe a couple of inches shorter than the skirt and presto...instant poodle skirt. Then you make a poodle out of white or whatever color you want and some fancy braid and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.
Contact
the attorney general in your area. You should not be responsible for these charges. You are a victim - not the bad guy. Find a new phone company if this one will not work with you to resolve this. Good luck!
I would contact them...
and talk it over. Banks and finance companies will say that the worst thing to do (in most cases) is file bankrupcy right away without talking it over with them first because they do want thier money. The majority of places will try to work with you. Been in those shoes. I consolidated mine, took me a little longer to pay it off but it was easier to pay 1 amount than all 3 and not cringe each time the phone rang. Had one card that said. Okay pay this amount for 3 months with no late fees (virtually nothing)and then pick up from there. I will live to regret that I'm sure but it helped me out at the time. Sometimes you can call and ask to skip a payment. They tack it on the end and charge you but if it helps it helps. You will sometimes find that if you ask a loan company for a "consolidation loan" they will say they don't do those. Instead give the amount for payoff of total bills or darn near it and try to go from there. I think the best thing is to explain your situation to them and ask for options or ideas or at least try to.
Maybe you should contact your vet
and ask if anything unusual happened (not that they would tell you a horror story if it did), but maybe something small happened to trigger it that they would recall.
Aside from that they might have come across this type of thing and know of some ways to sooth the puppy.
Your son doesn't have anything on him that a dog might smell and freak out about, does he?
This will sound corny, but maybe your son could think of something really sad and lie on the floor crying. Maybe the puppy would see his vulnerablility and empathize with him and lose fear.
Ebay Question
I need some opinions here. I won something on Sunday and paid immediately thru PayPal as the auction stated. I posted a comment to please let me know when the item shipped because I wanted to make sure I was home. I didn't hear back yesterday, so I emailed the person directly. I STILL haven't heard back. When do you think I should contact ebay and find out whats' up, or should I try and contact her one more time? My credit card has been charged already and I hate it that there is no communication.
My ebay experience
I supported myself on ebay while going to school for MT. It was great back then (2001). I have a few things on ebay now and hardly anyone looks. (handmade jewelry, stocking stuffers for kids, just small stuff). Much different than it used to be. I think it's too big.
Check ebay
I found six copies on ebay, that may be one of the few ways to get new movies on VHS anymore.
I purchase a lot on Ebay and always get sm
as described. In fact, I negotiated with a seller last Thursday for a pair of headphones for my son and got them today. Of course, I will probably have a not so good experience in the future, but chin up, most sellers are honest and reliable.
I did check ebay......SM
several times; i keep hoping i'll find them, that someone will decide to sell what they have. i think it actually is a new pattern that just came out this year, so whoever has them may not decide to get rid of them this soon, but i'm going to keep checking! i am also going to check out their website. thanks very much!
Did you check eBay?
That's the first place I check when I'm looking for something like that. I also just did a quick search on Amazon and they have American Girl things, too.
ebay problem...sm
I bought a Tabers Medical Dictionary the newest edition for $20 plus shipping on ebay. I paid for it over a week ago. I haven't gotten it yet. I have emailed the seller and I have gotten his phone # from ebay. He does not reply to emails and I can't reach him on the phone. What the heck should I do? I want my dictionary.
I went on ebay and it directed me to ...sm
paypal resolution center. I had to give transaction ID and a statement of what happened. The seller has 10 days to respond and if not then I can file a paypal claim and they will review and possibly take the money out his account and return it. I have tried to email this seller repeatedly. I have even gotten a phone # from ebay to contact him. I left a message with my phone # on anwering machine. I have heard no response back.
eBay rules....sm
state that sellers have up to 30 days to ship items once they're paid for.... just as buyers have up to 30 days to pay UNLESS it's posted otherwise in the original listing. My guess is that with the holidays the seller has gone away for a few days. Furthermore eBay/PayPal won't open an investigation until it's been 30 days past the day of the sale.
eBay sellers

I go on ebay sprees every now and then - sm
usually odd stuff, some designer silk stuff now and then, goals for me to reach if I ever lose the weight I need to. I tend to shop when I get stressed, down, etc, but try hard not to as it has gotten me in trouble in the past. Just bought one of those Thane steam mops on line, only $40 (that is total with shipping)---used, but hey a lot better than the $99 they go for new. Been wanting one for a while but DH would kill me if I spent $100 on one, so went this route, he will be PO'd enough about $40 but happy if the floors get cleaned on a more regular basis of course.
Probably not but maybe they'd contact them to be on the show! ; )

I would say either try a contact person where the
contact may be someone in the Social Services for your state. Maybe even the Division of Child Welfare. I would look in the phonebook under government agencies. I bet a social worker may be able to help or guide you in the right direction. I knew someone who had a child with cerebral palsy that took the insurance offered from the employer, but was able to get Medicaid for the child as a supplement for things the primary did not cover. I am not sure if this is state-by-state though. Hope this helps. Good luck to you and your daughter as her children do need health insurance.
Maybe you should contact the company...
nm
I would contact you doctor.
.
Definitely contact your doctor sm
You didn't mention where on your back the mole was, but particularly if it was on your upper back near your neck, I would be concerned about the swollen and tender lymph nodes.
Regardless, you need to talk to your doctor. The lymph nodes could even be a completely separate issue, but it is definitely a sign that there is a problem.
Good luck!
it's better for us not to have contact with people like that
stay away from her, don't comment much to family members about it, eventually they'll get used to the way things are now.
Contact your local ACO....
Call your local animal control officer, or if you don't know the contact info for them, the police should. It's their job to calmly address the situation. It's not fair to you to listen to this poor animal all day long. I would also mention that you fear for not only the animals safety, but also your own. I'm sure it is on record anyway from the prior incident but wouldn't hurt to bring it up again. I would definitely not approach the people one-on-one, especially given their past behavior.
I'm sorry you're going through this. 
I would contact a hospice...
My grandmother just passed away, and for her last week she was at a local hospice. They were so wonderful and caring there and really helped us all deal with her dying. Even if your mom doesn't go to hospice care (which I highly recommend when she is very close), I would call a hospice and ask them for recommendations for grief counseling. I can't say enough about how wonderful they were, and they really helped my mother deal with the loss of her mother. They also provided morphine so we could rest assured she was not in pain once she wasn't able to communicate any longer. I am sorry that you are losing your mother. I am sure it is difficult at any age.
I would contact everyone on the IEP team (sm)
and let them know you are not being informed as you should be. Also, if they cannot handle it at your school, then he could be transferred to another school (at his current school's expense; they would also have to provide transporation). You do have a lot of rights here, and this is federally mandated, not state. Good luck.
Maybe try limiting contact to
just phone calls. That will let her know that you are cooling off the visitation with her but not make you look ungrateful. If she brings up never seeing the children, I would let her know politely that you thought she didn't care to have them visit since they always seem to "act up" at her house. If DH wants to see her DH, then let him visit him alone. Is there a close neighbor or friend that could keep your girls while you visit your aunt once in a while? I take it she lives nearby if your boss has contact with her. If she asks why you didn't bring the children, again - say that you thought it would be better for her if you didn't bring them anymore since their behavior doesn't meet her standards. She should get the hint pretty quickly.
I definitely agree with you that she should not be pushing her discipline methods on you. You are the parent and only you and DH should have any say in how you choose to discipline your children and whether or not they even need it. I will say from experience that the previous generation seems to think we don't know how to handle our kids. I think a lot of that has to do with the state this country is in, but I don't believe it falls directly on our shoulders. Afterall, our kids weren't even born when things started to go downhill. Maybe it's all the hairbrushes and flyswatters that are causing some of these problems.
It is already from a safe contact
I can open all mail, but where pics should be (and were before hotmail changed the look) are just boxes. It isn't just from one contact, but from all my contacts that I used to receive pics from. Now what? I sent an email to the contact site, but they have not answered me yet.
sort of still keep in contact, but
They didn't go to HS with me. One I've known since probably 1978 when I was 8 and she was 6 and we were visiting here on vacation, then my family moved here and she and I have been BF since 1985...only keep in touch by email and occasional phone calls.
My other one I've known since 1995 and we're in touch by email too.
Our lives are just too complicated and too far apart by distance to really see eachother, but we can catch up instantly with eachother even if it has been a while
If you live in HOA, can you not contact
the president of the association. You do not have to give your name, just tell them the address or name of the offenders and the association should take care of this for you. I also am in association and the rules here are no animals are suppose to run loose in the neighborhood. If I see an animal loose, I figure probably is lost.
Can you contact someone for advice?...sm
It's a potato uprising, I tell you. Seriously, sorry you got hurt. Can you talk to a pharmacist? How about a nurse help line, maybe through a hospital or insurance company? I hope you heal soon.
eBay policy states.....sm
that the sender has 30 days to send the product. If they don't or can't prove they sent it then you can file a complaint with eBay, and they'll check with the seller who will have to either prove they sent the item (i.e. provide postal information with confirmation #s, insurance information, etc) or the seller will have to refund the money. They do tell you that if the seller has "disappeared" that they may not be able to get the money back; however, at the same time they will block them from selling again. My husband & I have bought a lot of stuff on ebay as well as sold a lot. We always ship within 72 hours and most items we've won we've received with a week. I did have one purchase that the seller kept coming up with excuses for not sending it until the 30 days came and eBay contacted her to ship it or else and she finally sent it... but she did refund my shipping fees because of the aggravation and she wasn't asked to do that.
EBAY/PAYPAL QUESTION sm
I recently bought something off of ebay. I signed up for paypal and put my charge card through paypal. It kept telling me they were having technical problems to try later. I emailed the seller three times asking if she got the payment because I did not want to double pay (I was hoping she was honest) and never heard from her. Is there a way for me to check if it took through paypal.
Could go on eBay and see what similar bracelets are going for, or
the books on collectibles/antiques in Barnes and Noble or Waldenbooks, etc., too. Lots of books on identifying and pricing of old jewlery, bracelets, old plastics, etc. You could have Lucite or you might even have some pieces of Bakelite, both collectible and very cool! Start with an ebay search and see where it takes you. Good luck. NM
I personally think they are expensive and you would be better off going through Ebay...

EBAY QUESTION POSSIBLE FRAUD sm
I bought something on ebay for $12.00. I got the notice saying your charge card will be charged. It has been 10 days and the seller has not emailed to tell me when it will be shipped. I have emailed her once a day for 10 days with no response. How do you report this to Ebay so I don't get charged?
Thanks.
I just got a Scrabble game on EBay
We play Scrabble each holiday - kinda got a contest going on. We have been through 2 regular games but thought it would be great to have the turntable. I decided to check Ebay 2 weeks ago and one had an hour left on the bid and I won the bid for $19 w/ S&H. There was one tile gone but they told me ahead of time about that which is n problem really as we had all the tiles from the old game and they fit just fine. Bought an egg timer at the dollar store and looking forward to this year's game fest. Good for you playing a board game with the grandkids. Teaches them a little spelling subliminally too.
Update: Just sold for $299 on Ebay
if you can get your hands on one they are selling like hotcakes!!
Report it to EBay. Did you use PayPal to
pay for it?? If so, maybe they can cancel the payment.
Just did a quick check on ebay
On the completed listings from June 27, there were 16,806 items up for sale (not all sold). Off the Wall and Thriller albums (combined) sold for $62. Thriller alone sold for $55.
On the active items, there are 41,102 items up for sale! Off the Wall and Thriller (combined) is up to $202. Each single item is selling for $60-$80. It's crazy. A lot of these items are owned privately, but those that have a business dealing with music, posters, etc. would have to pay a royalty on those items to the estate.
Oh, yeah, one crazy seller was trying to sell a 45 record for $300! No takers.
You need to contact the supreme Court
Florida tried to make sacrificing animals illegal but were overturned by the Supreme Court in 1993 for interfering with religious practices.
Use of emergency contact info
You know how when you go to the dentist office, enroll your child in day care, fill out a job application, everyone wants contact information "in case of emergency." Maybe I'm different from everyone else, but I consider an emergency as defined by my falling to the floor clutching my chest while my lips turn blue and I can't talk, or falling down 5 flights of steps, or being hit by a car...you get the idea.
I no longer have a good relationship with my mother (75) because she is getting senile. I can't trust that anything she knows about me won't make the gossip curcuit as the truth or something totally different, plus she wants to die on her own property without anyone else another and be found days later by some unknown stranger who notices her body out in the yard...so I don't visit, either. Last time I visited, her whole face was black and blue because she had passed out and fallen face down on a concrete pad where she stayed until the next day when she was finally able to stand up and go inside, then hide from the world for almost a month...I happened to visit her within a week of it happening. I don't want to be the one who finds her dead on another visit.
The reason this is important is because of a legal situation that I am in totally unrelated to her and I have a gag order on me...and she can't talk to me without taking "no" for an answer when she quizzes me about it, which she will do every single time we talk. So, I've just had to say, have a nice life, love you, let instructions to my sister to call me if anyone needs me.
Now it comes back to those old applications I filled out. My phone number changed and my dentist used my mother's "emergency" contact information to try to reach me, going into great detail the nature of why they were calling. It was just my 6 months cleaning, but I didn't even schedule it because I was moving and changing jobs and couldn't predict if I could keep an appointment 6 months in the future. So my mother calls my ex-husband, my ex-mother-in-law, trying to reach me for this "emergency". My ex-hubby called me.
This is so embarrasing to me. If someone dies, let my sister call me. I don't know what to do or how else to get across to her that she doesn't have the right to interfere in my affairs. The dentist office made the first wrong, and her trying to "save" me was the next one. I'm almost 50 years old and I think I can take care of myself, thank you very much. I let the dentist office have it with both barrels. That was abuse of a reason to call my mother as an "emergency" and they have taken her info out of their system. I have even had to change physicians because my mother and I had the same primary care, and all my visits were relayed to her by the staff..."oh, your daughter looked so good when she was here last week!", which prompts a phone call to my ex-hubby. ARRRGH!! Violation of HIPAA!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? I'm almost at the point of having a lawyer draft a letter to her. I'm past the point of feeling bad about hurting her feelings as she shows no consideration for mine.
