ok – back in October I met a guy on an online dating website. About 3 weeks after we started talking, he had to go to the U.K. on business. As soon as he got home from there, we were finally going to meet. However, circumstances arose, and he had to go to Nigeria to be with his mom who was facing a major surgery. He called me up and was very upset. Long story short, I loaned him 00 to help with his moms surgery. One thing lead to the next, and teh next thing you know he said that if I could loan him enough money to come home that he would pay me back everything he owes me. So , then nice and trusting person I try to be, I sent him 00 for a plane ticket to come home. I asked him if he got his plane ticket, and he said he couldn’t get it because he had to pay his cell phone bill and his internet bill before they would let him leave the country – and his bills were totalling more than i sent him. I am starting to believe this is all a scam. I would like to know how I can get my money back and get it back as fast as possible. ANY AND ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. : I have learned my lesson about internet relationships now – so PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS PLEASE !!!!!

I lent him a lot of money, and he either can’t or just won’t pay me back, is there any way I can make him, maybe in a small claims court or something?

The 0B bailout bill is Unconstitutional. Both McCain and Obama voted FOR the unconstitutional bailout bill. Christopher Story, editor and publisher of International Currency Review, explains the 0B bailout was nothing more than on-the-books cash for the criminals’ new trading platform. Also see his report: "Secondary Sausages From The D.C. Sausage Machine"

Quote From Forbes Magazine: "In fact, some of the most basic details, including the 0 billion figure Treasury would use to buy up bad debt, are fuzzy. “It’s not based on any particular data point,” a Treasury spokeswoman told Forbes.com Tuesday. “We just wanted to choose a really large number.” Associated Press – Sep 29, 2008

Don’t any of you get it yet? The Federal Reserve prints the money and "credit" which our government borrowers and then circulates into the system, which bears interest that We the People (taxpayers) have to pay back TO THE PRIVATELY-OWNED AND OPERATED FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS. This is fraud on a mass scale. And the "bailouts" are used for one purpose: to bankrupt and collapse the economy and the U.S. Dollar currency by consolidating any and all institutions, including state governments, that sign up for the bailout money which subsequently places a deadly crunch on smaller entities unwilling or unable to cope with the stipulations of those contracts. So stop wasting your time figuring out the figures. They’re all make-believe, non-realistic magic numbers the Fed can just pluck and print out of thin air! Wake up.

My husband left me in August 2001/ In January 2002 he suggested tha he file our taxes since he knew I had no money. I agreed especially since it was going to be "seperate" filing. In ay case, a few monts later I got acheck for HIM at MY address! I called and he ran right over to get i! Then he said" Hmm thats weird tha they sent it here." I suggested that I call the accountant about i and he said it was probably the mistake of IRS A week or so later the stae check came fpr him as well. THEN he called to say " Hey YOUR checks came to MY post office box! I will cash them and give you the money when I se you!" I agreed. About a week later he stopped by my ome to give me an envelope of money along with some bills. Turns out he cashed my checks ( in his account of course) then sued the money to pay in full al utility bills and cable bills that had both our names on or just his for my home. After paying the bills he got them placed solely in my name staing hta he could no longer afford to support TWO households. He left and I opened the envelope to find less than 0 !! That , with the bills meant that both my stae and federal only came to about 0! OK>…what did I know ( still was pissed about him deciding how to spend my money)
That september my oldest was enrolling in college I needed copies of my tax return to file for federal aid, etc Afte asking for a few monts my husband dropped off a file and left quickly! I opened it to find that the state return was about 00 and the federal return was almost 00 !! I sat and cried! I called him to say I would press charges nd he begged me to let him repay me. He apologized and said he would make restitution.
It is now almost 7 years and each time I think about pressing charges i feel guilty that he might go to prison, lose his teaching job, etc.
But for the past several years I have been destitute. I haven’t even worked fulltime since 2005!
Can I force him to repay?
I never signed the checks; and he used HIS address and cashe dthem thru an account that was solely in is name.

Now he tells me that since we wer still legaly married at the time he was entiled to cashing and does not have to repay

Any help? Thought? Ideas on placs to go with this??

Thanks!!

Dana

I have a question, and please respond seriously, no jokes please.

I am a 16 year old christian boy. I attend religious education classes, and for my entire life I have beleived in God.
Recently however, I have begun to… lose faith in him. Im not sure how to word it.

I’ve been living with a father who hates me (it is a looooong story, but beleive me when I say it :\) and ontop of that, he is disabled. My family has virtually NO money, and my poor mother has such a hard time running the house without a husband that can help her.
Not only that, but last year, I met the girl of my dreams. I know I’m young and everything…but she was perfect for me. You have no idea. It was almost a fairy tale come true.We were perfect for eachother… and All i wanted in life was to make her happy… I prayed to god every night for her to be safe and happy, and for the most part, she was.
The only exception to my "fairy tale" is that she lives 6000 miles away… which was a big bummer, but I had learned to deal with it.

But now, explaining my current situation, my family is still in the same shape it was in. Extremely mean father who makes me feel like a failure, no money, small house, work piling up…
But as for the girl in my life… recently, she just…disappeared. She’s been gone for so long with no contact… and I cant get a hold of her….

My life has been empty without her… and I cant do anything about it…

Then i started thinking about where god was… I do NOT expect god to wave a magic wand and make my life better…but I still pray to him every night…begging for Justine to come back… and she doesnt…. I beg of him to help my family in some way… and it just gets worse…

I KNOW god cant magically make my life better…but how come he lets these things happen… how can he just sit by, and watch people like me’s lives fall appart…
Its times like this that I think about the Holocaust, and all the poor starving people in Africa… and it leads me to lose even more faith…

Even the other day on the internet, I saw a picture of a pile of dead bodies. The bodies were all of starved, skeletal looking african people. There was a caption under the picture that said
"God?… I dont see him, maybe he’s under the bodies"…. and it just hit me deep down…

I’m afraid that I’m losing hope in god… and theres nothing I can do about it….

I was married with my ex husband for 20 years. We met when we were both 16 years old in high school. We married 5 years later and had two beautiful children. He loved me so much. I never once question how he felt about me. Everyone knew this and thought we would be together forever. Well in 2003-04 I did something illegal with money and was incarcerated for 2 years. 10 days after I left he met another woman and has been with her ever since. I was the only woman he had ever been with sexually before her. They got married recently and everyone says she is so controlling. I love this man so unconditionally and want him back desperately. He only married this woman because he was desperate and his parents pressured him to get away from me. We were great parents together and did everything with our children. Everyone thought I was a great mother and my children were always very attached to me. We were first loves. What are my chances at getting him back? I know he loves me!!

Thank you for the answers.. i will also like to add a few details. 1.she has cheated on me twice once when we started going out and then five months after. 2.i don’t mind if she goes out but don’t pussyfoot it around just tell me i am going to get super drunk and dance with random guys , i don’t mind i am super comfortable with my self i just don’t like people to lie or pussyfoot a story or their actions. 3. she is bisexual i didn’t find out until two months in our relationship i didn’t mind at all i have nothing against it so i told her i did not mind if she had a gf or did something with another woman, so she got back with her ex girlfriend and well its nothing serious its just casual sex once in a while.. so you see i let her do anything if she just asks me she can have or buy anything i don’t mind really i just don’t know what else to do. is it my fault for being to open with her??? i don’t think i am a control freak but i like to know the truth and what she will be doing.

My wife and I used to be very sexually active, and very much "into" each other. About 15 years ago an accident at work hurt her back, and she has had to have several back surgeries. Not much helps the pain, and she is getting worse day by day. We just found out she will need another surgery in a couple months.

I try to help her, god knows I try every day. I feed her, bathe her, rub her back, and adjust her pillows and TV. I cook and take care of the kids. The more pills she takes, though, the witchier, and bitchier she gets. We haven’t been intimate for over 10 years now…

I find myself looking at escort ads online. I even tried one once, the gal just took my money and left when I came out of the bathroom. A barrel of laughs. I understand I took wedding vows, but this isn’t the person I signed up to be with – I’m trying my hardest to be loyal. Please don’t respond with religious guilt, I need no more of that.

I just want to be touched, and loved, so badly…what to do?

They must give him the best medicine that money can buy. Which really surprises me cuz you’d think that drug companys would’nt give a s#*t about some black man. Although he is a black man with a lot of money and you cant tax or sell medicine to a dead man. they probably keep him alive as an example to people that H.I.V. wont kill you as long as you buy and take handfulls of their drugs. The government isn’t trying to really cure any diseases.They are just trying to keep people alive and in the medicare system as long as possible with the disease to make money.I bet they can cure cancer,aids,lukemia, but once someone is cured they stop making money. They make a pill for everything these days and people love taking them.Are You sad, take a pill then everything is great. your supposed to be sad sometimes but all the rich whites can’t hack it so they pop pills,and give them to their kids cause their to active. they make up disorders to sell pills.THE MONEY IS IN THE MEDICINE NOT THE CURE!

My soon to be ex-wife and I have been running a small business from our home…let me rephrase that I have been trying to keep the business afloat and she has not put an ounce of effort in to the business since it started in July 2006. She has spent business money on a car and things that we did not need. Can I sue her for lack of commitment in to the business, we were supposed to split the case load 50-50 but it was a verbal agreement?
we have an s-corporation if that matters….I did all the work and she spent all the money and then consulted our business lawyer about our business without my consent and told him that we are no longer taking clients…he was also our biggest client.

Ayn Rand seemed to think that making money was tantamount to magic, but is it white magic or black? In short does money ultimately profit or tax commerce? Without money, Wall Street and the Fed would collapse and disappear, for example, but would this be good or bad in the long run? It’s hard to imagine any alternative to money besides barter, but it seems like profit drives inflation, among other things. Indeed, why are Muslims who observe Sharia law so opposed to interest on loans?

I loaned my ex boyfriend (boyfriend at the time) 0 cash. We’ve broken up and its been about 6 months and I haven’t seen any of the money yet. Is there any legal way I can get the money back? At first I told him he could pay me 0 a month, but that never happened. I really want the money back because I am fixing to go off to college.
I have my bank statement that says I withdrew 0, and I have his bank statement saying he deposited 0. (He left it in my car.)

And I do have a job already.

My ex has only ben paying 0 a month in child support for the last 9 1/2 yrs. In my state, I could have requested a review of his child support every 3 yrs, which would have been in 2001, again in 2004 and now in 2007. I just now requested one and based on my ex’s current bring home income of roughly ,000, and my son being his only child, his child support was set at a little over 0.00 a month. He was furious and called me every name in the book, including money hungry. I also had someone tell me that we should both be paying for 50% of my sons care, and unless his monthly care was 00, then 0 was too much. Here is how I looked at it: Based on his current income, I "guessed" at what he would have been bringing home in 2001 and 2004 and what his child support might have been set each time, minus the 0 he was paying. If my "guesstimate" was close to accurate, he actually got out of paying me close to ,000 over the last 6 1/2 yrs because I didn’t ask for a review.
When my son was not yet in school, I payed between 0 and for daycare. Even if you average that out at lets say , that would have been a little more than 0 a month that I payed in daycare. My ex’s 0.00 a month didn’t even cover 50% of that, much less leave any left over for food, clothes, etc. I had to have a job to provide my 50%, but I actually ended up providing more than my 50%. However my ex doesn’t look at it that way. He thinks that I take his child support and spend it on myself or on my youngest child. I did tell my son that we would take alot of this child support, if I actually end up getting it, and put it in a savings account for him to use to buy a truck when he turns 16. I don’t see how that makes me money hungry.
My son is 11.

I was just wondering if my revenge to my ex-boyfriend by using him for sex a bad idea? I’m asking bcuz he used me for sex, money, and lied to me about alot of things, so I actually felt played throughout the relationship we had for 3 yrs. What happened was that he is divorced b/c it didnt work things out with his wife afterall ( he lied about his marriage too!), so I played along his game on the phone and acted like I wanted to see him. We had sex the next day. I only did this to get back at him and make him feel like **** bcuz of all the times he played games with me. Was this a right choice I made or "two wrongs dont make a right" rule shouldve been what came to my mind first?

Hi, I’m looking for a novel I read a long time ago. I have it somewhere and I was wanting to read it again but for the life of me I can’t find it. It’s set back in either the 1700 or 1800’s and it’s about a girl who has lost all her money and close family and is in need of marriage. She seeks out a distant aunt who is happy to help her find a husband. She is taken under her wing and she meets her nephews. The older one is trying to match her up with his younger brother because he was caught in a compromising situation with the footman and has been seen in several gay areas. They end up like eachother and he asks her to marry him but the older brother starts to take real interest in her and falls in love with her.
I know you’re wondering why if I know so much would I want to read it again. And it’s because like any good book you don’t just want to read it once.
So if anyone has any clue what it’s called or who it’s by please let me know.
Thanks!

He wanted me to stop using credit cards and start paying them off. I stopped using them and have paid off some of them already. He wanted me to get my caps replaced and we agreed that I could save the money since I didn’t have dental insurance and didn’t want another monthly bill. I have saved money and am almost there. I have a 21 year old bipolar son. He has never gotten along with him and they have gotten into fights. He wanted me to get him on his feet. I told him that I would need time to do this because I would have to get my finances in control to be able to help my son out. The counselor told him that with the way my son is he would need financial help from me. My husband agreed. The counselor asked him how long I could have and he said 1 year. The counselor asked him what if it takes 2 years and he said that is okay I love her that much. The counselor said what if it never happens and he said that is okay I love her that much. He wants my son to get a drivers license. I have started letting him drive my car and will be getting him driving lessons. I wanted him to express his feelings to me more often. He is the kind of man that is always there for everyone else but he shuts me out. He came to me a month ago and said that he can’t live with my son and it was either him or my son. (We have 2 small children together.) I got rattled and thought here we go again he is going to leave. So I filed for a divorce to start financial protection for myself and our children. He changed his tune and I haven’t gone ahead with the divorce. Last night he comes to me and says that we are not compatible, we don’t have a marriage, we don’t know how to communicate to each other and nothing has changed. I’ve worked on everything that he wanted done and I still come last to him. I’m so lost. It sounds like he is asking for a divorce but when I come straight out and ask him he says how can I just walk away? Any insight?
I should add that my son does pay rent, has a job, buys his own medicine, pays for his nurses and doctors appointments. And he has psychofrenia affective disorder but I didn’t know how to spell it so I just put bipolar.

i have been doing my research on how to be a better mother. i’ve read all types of pregnancy and parenting books. now i’ve moved on on how to save money. i think I will use cloth diapers during the day and disposible ones at night. I’ve also thought of bying some of the basic stuff now and putting them in storage in our basement. I also see that motherhood.com and mimi maternity have a great sale going on. Do you think it would be crazy to buy maternity stuff while they are on sale now. or should I wait untill we get pregnant. We really want a baby but we want to wait a year to enjoy the marriage and at least have our financial security really secure. if it happens now it wouldn’t be a problem but we want to travel first. So what do you think. am i too obsessed or is this normal and ok to do.
