Lancecrossfire | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:33 am     Sorry--shit-can that idea. |
Grooch | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:35 am     CAn your sister come pick her up? |
Grooch | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:37 am     How old is Dakota? Can't you just seat buckle her in to your sister's house? |
Grooch | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:38 am     Does your sister have a booster seat? Can you drive over there, and get it and then go get Dakota? |
Wargod | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:41 am     Nope..she don't have a car. This class has been one frustration after another with the babysitter situation. If Kota hasn't been sick, my sister or neice has and haven't been able to get ahold of mom or neighbors. Car broke down last week. If it was Caleb I'd have no prob taking him to class and knowing he'd be still and quiet enough to sit for three hours...Dakota on the other hand....no way, LOL. |
Kaili | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:41 am     Do any Taxi companies provide car seats for children? Don't know if that would make a difference, or if you even have a taxi company, but if there are no other options, this may be one... |

If someone is using your identity, they can open accounts with companies without your knowledge and you won't know until the bill collectors come calling. This would not affect your current accounts. |
Car54 | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:03 am     Can you send a taxi to pick up Mom or Sis and have them come to your house, watch Kota, then go to class and on the way home, pick up the seat at your husband's work...come home and drive the sitter of choice home? Gosh War, I am tired just thinking about it. |
Wargod | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:04 am     Dakota is four. She can't stay home by herself, and we'll theres no way I'd put her in the car without a car seat. My neice is also much smaller than kota, so isn't in a booster seat. Sigh, Tuesday I was complaining about parents who didn't use car seats for kids the same age and size as her. That's why all my booster seats were in one car...I had to provide them for the parents who didn't. |
Grooch | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:07 am     Can you call up the teacher and ask if he/she can have the class at your house? |
Hillbilly | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:10 am     War....maybe they can dial you in on speakerphone like we do here at work when someone is working from home. |
Wargod | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:15 am     LOL, Grooch...I got ahold of the teacher awhile ago through email...he said don't worry too much about it that with kids stuff happens. I can copy notes from someone in the class and no homework. I'm hoping this is the last "stuff" to happen this semester! If this happens, I may have to impose my daughter on my sweet, little, elderly neighbors and hope to God they can keep up with her for a few hours. If it comes to that, it won't be a matter of trusting them, it will be a matter of trusting her not to cause too much turmoil and touble!!!! |
Draheid | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:26 am     Wargod: Perhaps you could have another student stop by after class and you could do a Vulcan mindmeld to get the information?  |
Wargod | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:27 am     HB....we have about 10 classes now that are an internet/telecom? classes. You have to go to the college like three classes, but rest you do at home. I'm seriously thinking about this. If I can get into one of the classes, I probably will take it. I'm hoping that they'll expand these classes and I can take more at home. Doing a class at 3am while the kids sleep would be much better than worrying about what I'm going to do with my kids, lol. |
Zachsmom | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:32 am     War.. I take 2 online courses. They work out great and I never have to go to the class. I take all my quizes/mid-terms/finals online. I highly recommend it!!! |
Wargod | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:43 am     I tried for it a couple semesters back, but they were extremely hard to get into. Hoping I have better luck, LOL. Colleges do so much these days to accomodate eveyone (at least mine does.) Besides the day and night classes and the online classes they offer Saturday classes, which used to work out great for me, til hubby started working Saturday mornings. The last minute stuff like this drives me a little nuts..I like to have things nice and planned out and sometimes it just doesn't work right. |
Zachsmom | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:50 am     I love it because I don't have to leave the house..My son goes to bed at 7 and I can then do homework..I don't think I can go back to traditional class setting..lol.. |
Hillbilly | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:54 am     I do alot of online. It depends on the instructor as to how easy it is. Some instructors are great with providing grade feedback. I always dread the ones that take forever to let you know if you're on the right track. |
Suitsmefine | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 02:06 pm     Hillbilly, THANK YOU!!!!! You were correct I called and had a credit check done ....OMG, now I do have something to gripe about!!! I have 2 credit card accounts that are OVERDUE AND MAXED!!! YET I DO NOT HAVE ACCOUNTS WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!! WHAT THE ???? Now I have to deal with this crap!! What is the matter with people? |
Zachsmom | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 02:08 pm     I don't know Suits..but from reading the "Quirks" thread..I think it all comes down to the ingestion of Butt Juice! |
Draheid | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 02:09 pm     I want the admin to put this smiley in the clipart just for this thread!

Whoami | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 02:09 pm     Oh no Suits! I hope you can get this cleared up and fast! If you don't get good advice here on how to clear it up, perhaps you can go to the Dumb Question thread, or re-create the Dear Abby thread. Good luck! |
Kaili | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 02:10 pm     That's horrible Suitsmefine! Good thing you checked! It's amazing how common that has become...and how difficult it is to fix once it happens. Good luck! People really need to be careful, especially with phones and internet. I hope everything works out for you. Let us know how you deal with it because I sure wouldn't know what to do. |
Zachsmom | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 02:14 pm     Here's a website Suits ID Theft |
