I purchased a vehicle last year for $30,000. I also had about $8,000 in debt in credit cards. I thought that by purchasing the vehicle my credit score would shoot up. I make all my payments on time. And I try to pay more than the minimum payment. I checked my credit score about 2 days ago and it actually went down from 697 to 536. I dont know what happend. I checked my credit report and I dont have any delinquencies or negative reports. I'm 21 and currently I have 7 credit cards. They are all maxed out. i payed 2 off and I closed those accounts. I'm about to pay 2 more off. What am I doing wrong? I dont use the credit cards anymore. I'm paying them off. I work 2 jobs. Any advice will help me. Thanks!

Would like to get my friend some funky wine glasses for her birthday. She will be 30 and is literally the woman who has everything! Thought some different wine glasses (as she likes a tiple!) may be a good idea.

I was hoping that you might be able to help me a little bit. I have looked and looked on the Internet for some info. about Americans moving to Mexico, but however I put in a search, it always comes back with Mexicans moving here. There's a man at my work whose brother is going to be living in Mexico. He doesn't talk to his brother very often, but he found out some information for me. He said that I can go with a passport and stay for 30 days. In that 30 days, I apply for a passport extension, and in the 6 months, then I do the major paperwork and things to be able to stay for longer and work legally and things. I also would like to bring my car with me if possible, but some of my friends said that might now work either. They said that certain years of cars are illegal in Mexico, but that doesn't really make sense to me. I'm pretty sure that as long as I register my car in Mexico and get Mexican plates that it will be fine. So I have no idea how to register my car in mexico

Yes! So,I finally got the chance to find out which textbook I'll be using.I was very nervous since I know very little about history and coming from a terrible school,currently in a good one though.Thanks to a friend who took American History Honors last year. The book is so called "American Odyssey".Luckily,I found this website and it tells you each bit of each chapter! I smell a well prepared year.so,before school begins (Aug 20th) I'll just catch up on these chapters,just so I won't feel so left behind.That being I have certain learning diabilites.

Take a look at the website,if you have any suggestions for me as well please inform me and thank for taking your time!

I just got engaged. My ring is just a little big on me. I am a 6.5 and my ring is a 7.0. I do not think it is a big deal. My fiancee got me a beautiful ring. The carat, clarity, cut are of a high quality. I am very happy with my ring and my sister went with him to help choose it. I think it's fine that it's alittle big because eventually when I get pregnant there maybe some swelling. It's not huge on me but friends say it's a little big. I do not want to look ungrateful or high maintenance. It would be ideal if it was a tad smaller but my sister insists this won't be so easy to do because of the uniqueness of the ring. Any advice?

At my school we have a sunk in quad that looks like this:

-----___________------

me ands some friends were thinking of filling it with water, but i think that we would get in major trouble because that's pretty damaging. instead, we want to fill it with biodegradable foam packing peanuts, and post a sign that says "Beware of Python".

please don't tell me that i am immature for doing this, it's all in good humour, and we willl gladly take responsibility and clean up afterwards.

we also wanted to plant a tree in the center of our school and dye all of the grass in front of our auditorium red with kool-aid(it's our class color).

will the kool-aid thing work?

any other ideas would be great as well.

Here are some great tales from where I live. About 12 years ago an old man in a nursing home here in town called a taxi and escaped with his walker--had the driver take him to a bank and went in and demanded $50.00--got it and went back to his taxi--had the driver take him to his old favorite pub and was on his second drink when the police came to get him--the cops took up fund and paid back the bank and no charges were filed. In 2003 our airport was overhauled and updated, lots of oohs and asaas on the new security. Seems some elderly lady rented a big van drove right thru the motion sensor doors and thru the terminal to the rental agency to return the van without running over anyone in the terminal. Their solution was to put big flower pots in the front of the doors outside. Tell me your good ones???

I left my job 2 years ago and have slowly lost myself over time. I love my kids dearly, but my husband is pig headed and treates me like his maid, cook, secretary, and baby sitter and sometimes wh*re. We were in love once...please dont judge.

Im ready to leave him! if I am going to be with my kids 24/7 and not get to be my own person, better to not have an extra 2 year old to take care of and watch my loving husband become more and more of himself every day as I lose more and more of myself every day. I didnt marry him and have his children so he can be a kid again and have his mommy. He is so selfish!

Im sick of it, yes, Ive tried talking to him logically, nagging, crying, begging, etc. no matter how much I want to leave I know its not the best choice when you have 3 kids and made the commitment so that is out.

So, my question is, how do you make it work, what did you do to keep hold of who you are and any other advice??

Okay. Heres the story.

My fiance and i were looking for a house to rent. We found one from Don Wright Realty.
The guy showing the house said we can put down the security deposit, $795 .. which will hold the house for us until our lease is up Sept. 1st.

He also went on to say IF we aren't approved or change our minds all but $25 for the application fee will be refunded.

Well, we gave them the money last thursday. Thursday night we found a better house so we told her Friday that we would need the $770 back ASAP.
She said to call her saturday before 12pm, noon.

I did, she never got back to me.

I called her this morning AGAIN and left a message at her office on an answering machine .. its almost 4pm, they close at 6 and she has yet to get back with me. I call again this afternoon and her sec. told me she would be in later and she would tell her i called.

If for some reason this goes on for a few more days what do i do??? I need this money back NOW!

I had my baby last week and all he does is sleep. And I'm talking at least 15-19 hours a day. Does anyone else's baby do/done this? He was born at 37.5 weeks so perhaps its because he was a little premature. I could use the help from any mother out there who's baby has slept like this or still does. When did your child start to stay awake more? Thanks so much!
