I live in Iowa. I sold a car and a stove for $250. She paid me with a check that I deposited into my bank the following Monday. (She paid me on Saturday) It took nearly 2 weeks for the check to come back to my account as a Charge-Back - reason NSF. I called my bank for advice. I then took their advice and called HER bank to see if I could bring the check in to cash. No luck, not enough funds in her account.
After she finally returned my calls later that day, she told me that she would come to my house immediately following work on Friday (her payday) and pay me the cash. I know that Iowa law provides that you can recover up to 300% of the check amount, but under what circumstances? Should I just take the check to the police station? Or to the County Attorney? Will I be able to recover my property and the money? Or just either/or?
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

So, I went to the hairdresser today, very excited to change up my style a little bit and get some sideswept bangs. I had bangs as it was, but they were all pretty much one length and had gotten so long, they were past my eyes.
Well.
It didn't quite come out the way I had expected.
In fact, I frankly think it came out terrible. It's like, angled on one end, straight on the other, and it looks ridiculous. I have naturally super straight hair, so I never really use styling tool other than a curling iron, and trying to fix it with a curling iron makes me mlook like a wannabe 40's movie star. I don't know how to blow dry and hold my brush at the same time, because part of the bangs isn't even long enough to go under the brush.
Has anyone had this problem? What should I do? I'm scared to take scissors to it with my own hands, since I had complete confidence in my hairdresser, and it's terrible, and no confidence in my cutting skills at all.

HELP!

Spider always answered good for my questions and I appreciated it and give Spider props, but today Spider has been acting... different. Like answers almost mean or something. Maybe just joking, IDK.

I have a house that was built in 1870. One of the rooms needs to have the joists replaced; the floor is in bad shape they are warped and badly bowed. The problem is the old joists are 14” tall and 2 ½” wide, if I replace them with standard 2x12s the floor won’t come out to the right height. Same problem if I buy I joist from the local home center. I am afraid the cost to special order them would be prohibitively expensive.

Could I rip a 2x6 in half, rip OSB to the proper size, then use an expanding glue like gorilla glue to assemble everything; making sure it is well clamped?

Would this be strong enough to meet building codes? Where can I find span tables to make sure?

When trying to get pre approved it asks for gross salary

I do not have that good credit and I was wondering how much do they want you to make before you can get a car with them?

I am looking at a truck for $13,000

Also i am talking about in general not just elyria ford

I used to have a reasonably good job and had a salary close to 100K during my divorce. I lost my job 6 months after the divorce and I have to pay child support of $850. She "agreed" in changing CS to $ 550 (we have 50% custody of 1 daughter 5yo). In the last 4 months (while I job hunt and work part time) I have been making less than her. What should I do? I know I should find an ok job in 3 or 4 months but it just makes me crazy to have to pay CS+insurance and make less than her. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!
