Business & Finance - 28 June 2006

My family moved here a year ago. I met a dentist who had a child in my son's class. I made appointments for myself and my 2 children. In the meantime, the dentist contacts my husband (he's a loan officer at a bank) and asks him for a rate quote for a new loan. He later emails my husband back and says "thanks for the offer, but I'm going to stay with my current bank because they are patients." My husband even gave him a better rate! We're just puzzled as to why he would even bother going to my husband if he had no intent of using another bank. My daughter has another appointment next week (our 4th in the last month). I want to let him know I am puzzled, but I want to do it in a way that would not jeopardize any potential business relationship with the dentist. What could I say? "I really hate that my husband wasn't able to help you out with your loan" or "My husband said you talked to him about a loan." I want him to have to explain or at least make him feel bad for jerking us around.

My grandma set up stock accounts for all 10 of her gradkids when we were very young. It was to be used to help finance college and to buy our first house. My step dad told myself and my brother that we lost everything because it was invested in a company that went under. I have recently discovered that was a lie. The money was still in the account 2 years after that and he sold it and used it for something. The accounts were in my name and my brothers, not in his name. So should I hold him accountable and sue him for the money?

I have an idea for a product and have gone to Davidson Inc. with my idea and they have sent me a contract outlining what they will do with my idea. They will research it, find companies who may license it, then put together a portifolio, and let me decide if I want them to create a prototype for actual presentation. The catch is, it's about $700 for the research and portfolio, then potentially up to 15K for creation of a prototype with which to take to companies for them to consider. I think my idea is a good one, I know of nothing like it on the market, and I believe in it's marketability. (esp. compared to some of the crap out there in stores) What I want to know is if any one has experience with this company, and feedback. Does anyone know of the cheapest way to promote an idea or product. I can't make one. I could draw a picture with a written description. I was advised to not get a patent right away, as the product itself may require revision.

The company is fairly large and the jobs are similar (all marketing) and all seem to match my background. All the resumes are sent to the same place through the company website. Will it hurt me or help me to send in my resume for all of the positions?
