Where is it? I can't remember exactly where you live, but I am thinking midwest. Does he have to fly there or is it nearby? Is he going with friends, too?

When my ex and I divorced he got the house free and clear and he was suppose pay All marital bills. This weekend I just got served with papers that my paychecks will be garnished from one of these bills. Please Help!

K: First, find your divorce decree and make sure the decree specified that.

Second, if it DID specify that, and those are the creditors contacting you, contact your divorce attorney immediately, to get the settlement re-examined.

Third, contact the creditors in question and ask for a supervisor. Tell them about the divorce decree, and offer to fax the order with your ex-spouse's contact information.

If it didn't say that, then definitely contact a BK attorney in the AM. Most of them will give you permission to direct creditors to their office with a downpayment. Good luck!

thanks Lkunkel. My divorce decree does say about the bills, not about the house, but I didn't have a attorney at the time. That is why I am forever being taken advantage of(with the children especially) Thanks so much for the info

As KTBB's sis, I am making a formal request to the Mods for permission to break TVCH rules and use all the descriptive words flowing through me regarding that....Ex. <deep breath>

The bill collectors all know where to find the guy, since the original bills were all going to him. He's elected not to pay them, and now the bill collectors are going after KTBB. They found out her contact info when the ex's darling <cough> new wife ever so graciously <choke> sent the collectors my sis's address. <more descriptive thoughts flowing>

Sis has told the collectors about the divorce decree, and they don't give a d....they say "too bad, your name is on the original bill. Since he aint' paying, you're gonna have to."

Darn. Now I have to go bring my blood pressure down and calm my pulse down before I hit the sack....

One of the mom's that I work with just had a similar thing happen to her. She contacted legal aid. According to her, they faxed a copy of her divorce decree to the collector and all collections stopped. She is still fighting to get what was already garnished returned to her. I found the legal aid number in the phone book under either 'legal aid' or 'Iowa legal aid'. Since we are in a small town I used the Des Moines phone book.

As far as bankruptcy goes, if it comes to this there are lawyers that specialize in bankruptcy. It wouldn't hurt to contact one and see what s/he has to say. If it does come to that, once you pay for the lawyer, all collections have to stop.

Ok, here's a REALLY dumb one. Whatever happened to the Birthday and Where Are You From threads?

I used to pop in there sometimes and now I can't seem to find them. Have they disappeared or did someone eat my bread crumbs? Or have I finally lost my mind?

Thanks, Serate. I thought I'd checked there, but I guess not. It appears I have lost my mind!

RB, you'll find those who have shared under A Caring Place, and then under Getting To Know You, and then under the Official TVCH Birthday List. It is buried under the April 30 thread, and someone really needs to bring it forward and update our birthday list. Hint, hint!

Here's a link: http://tvclubhouse.bomis.com/cgi-bin/forum/board-auth.cgi?lm=1083372210&file=/1187977/1402164.html

Starve a cold, feed a fever
OR
Starve a fever, feed a cold?

I can never remember this! I'm running a 102, and the chills have stopped for now. I'm hungry.

Eat? Or go back to bed?

Ok, my DQ for the day...

I'm having a cook-out on Sunday for a bunch of my friends. To help fight off the bugs we bought a few tiki torches are are going to burn some citronella oil in them. Now the only problem is I'm not sure how these tiki torches work! So I put the oil in the metal can at the top and then what do I do with this rope-like thing? I know it's the part that gets lit, but do I soak the part that sticks out in the oil before I light it? I'm kind of thinking that if it's not soaked in the oil that it'll burn down into the can. I'm so confused! Anyone have any advice?

Not really a dumb question but I know that out of all the places on the internet this would be the best place to ask. My youngest will be leaving for college in August and although I already have one in college she chose to attend USF which allows her to live at home but my baby has decided to leave the nest. Besides the obvious list of clothes, a few dishes, sheets, towels and things, I'd love to have your input. Someone told me to get electrical cords which I never would have though of. I'll cry later, right now I'm too busy making lists.

Lost, I don't know how to get into the archives, but there was a thread with the greatest suggestions last year. Maybe someone can resurrect it?

I remember that, I posted there!!

I got ds an electrical hot pot, and a rubbermaid container I filled with hot chocolate, hot cider, and ramen noodles... the pot boiled water...

I went to WalMart and got a collapsable wire mesh laundry hamper, it was great app 6bucks, they have huge ones at Linen and things with wheels, dont buy that one!! e

I bought from linen and things/ or Bed Bath and Beyond a bucket to hold shampoo, toothbrush/paste etc... also find out what the dorm has, in ds dorm they needed a combo lock and could keep stuff in their bathroom...

again, find out what the dorm allows with refrigerators, hairdryers, curling irons etc... I got ds a table lamp, a set of 3 from Linen and things for $19.99 one for the desk,and one for a reading lamp over his bed... the florescent lights can be harsh...

make sure you can make contact with the roomie (we got the assignment in late July) and we talked rugs and refrigerators and stereos and TV's so they didnt have 2 of everything...

and there is this song we all play while taking them to school callled letting go... its a real tear jerker!!

Chemical Equations

Can anyone help my ds balance the following chemical equation?:

Al(OH[3]) + H[2]SO[4] ---> Al[2](SO[4])[3] + H[2]O

[ ] = atoms

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Lost, Where is your baby going? I'll gladly do some research for you if you know where she's going. If not, I'll find some list of generic things she will need.

Lucy, your equation looks like #31 on this worksheet. The answer given to this on the answer sheet, #31 looks like this:

2 Al(OH)3 + 3 H2SO4 => Al2(SO4)3 + 6 H2O

I have no idea what this means, just found it with a google search.

Hope this helps.

Lucy,

The answer that Dra found is correct, if the way the formula is written above is not quite right.

In order for it to balance with the answer that Dra found, the parentheses in the first group should be around the OH. No wonder I couldn't calculate the right answer!
