The saving bond is being purchased for a child. If it matures in say, 7 years, do you just cash it in and buy another one or does it continue to accrue interest until she needs it for school?

I have lousy credit, from things when I was 18, I was offered a few credit cards and thought I could handle it well needless to say I'm in debt up to my ears but I haven't bothered to file bankruptcy, although I have considered it even the new laws don't effect me so I could still file. Do bills just go away and or "fall off" your record or will they haunt me until I take care of them or file bankruptcy?? Thanks for all your adivce.

reason why i'm asking is because my roommate was borrowing my car tonight and i gave him my debit card to put gas in while he was out and he brought back the credit card receipt (without the details on what was purchased) that showed the amount of 50 some odd dollars. i don't think my car can even take $50 worth of gas but he says that's all he bought with it, gas.

the receipt he brought me was just the total amount but no details on what was purchased. will my statement tell me? or does it just show the merchant and the amount? my car only takes like $30 of gas at the most. i don't care about the $20 but i do care if he is lying to me and if i can't trust him.

I work in Bourbonnais Illinois. I work for an american. I want to know if this is right and is there anything I can do about it. I know that when we tip out to the busser we are spost to pay 10 percent of what we make. This girl I work for makes us pay 3-8 dollar tip out. We do not make that. It is a small resturant. I mean if I make 12 dollars she still wants 5 dollars from me and I don't think it is right. It is like this everyday. All the waitress added up what we pay out and it is 150.00 a week and there is only 5 of us girls. I mean we are paying the bussers wages and I think that is wrong. We should not have to pay that the owner of the resturant should. Can anyone help me please. Also you can not tell the owner anything she thinks it is fine. Also she said I have been a waitress for 4 years I know what I am doing. Really she does not know what she is doing. If she was a waitress she would not be robbing us. Please help.

I have applied in Illinois for Medicaid disability benefits but have been denied assistance. I have an appeal set.. What do they want. I have provided them with everything they requested. What can I provide that will turn the decision in my favor? Crutches? Wheel chair? A note from my doctors? What can I provide to make these people see that my lights don't work anymore? There must be something that will change their mind. I have racked my brains, whats left, out. Any tricks I need to learn? Any hints?

I would like a name to call my makeup business that could possibly include my name. I was thinking of "Interstitial Beauty" but am open to more ideas.

And I would also like clever ideas on how to attract more clients. I would like to do weddings, pageants, "makeup parties", and events. All help will be appreciated.
