My boyfriend and I had carpet installed over a year ago in our basement. We went in to the carpet installer, picked out what we wanted, arranged install, and I handed over a cheque so the carpet could be ordered (I was told it was $1300 to have the carpet ordered). I never signed anything, didn't even recieve an invoice or statement. Carpet came in, installer came to my house and installed the carpet, and left. Still I never signed anything, not even with their installer. Now they are trying to come after me for money owing, that I was never told about. They have even gone as far as wanting to take me to court over it. I am going to fight it, as there is nothing stating my signature on a contract, or invoice saying I still owe a certain amount of money. What are my chances? I've even told them I would pay the money, but now they want to charge me all this additional money that makes no sense, and I feel they are just trying to scam me. Help!?!

my husband and i have a joint account together but the checks have his name on them. Two days ago i wrote a $900 check for rent and put it in an envelope. i told my husband to sign the check and put it back in the envelope so i could take it the next morning and drop it off on my way to work. i dropped the envelope off but come to find out my husband never signed the check... somehow our apartment complex cashed the check without any signature or a call from our bank to verify the check... is this legal? if so, i can just go get someones checks and write a bunch to me and not even need the persons signature... sounds kinda crazy and stupid to me... i dont understand how it was possible for them to cash my check? please someone explain

while leaving work i found some candy corn pumpkins and placed them on a coworkers car who is 22yrs old. no feuds between us or anything just good ole silly fun. i placed about 8-10 of them around his car. my coworker is mentally retarded and was mad about it. he told my manager a wk later my manager told me it was under investigation and i was to be suspened til the investigation was completed. if i found them on company grounds would there be a difference if i placed 8-10 leaves around his car instead? Will i get reimbursed for days suspened if the investigation does not prove i did it? i work at home depot

"First Australia won international applause for abandoning the United States and signing a global warming pact Washington has long opposed. Then a U.S. Senate committee voted for deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.

The Bush administration's position, that technology, private investment and economic growth — rather than mandatory emissions cuts — will save the planet from global warming, is taking a beating this week at a U.N. climate change conference in Indonesia.

The public defeats for the U.S. stance, coupled with mounting warnings from scientists and others that only decisive action will control rising temperatures, have cast the Americans as wayward sons who need to wake up and join the rest of the world."

Why do you think the US policy on global warming continues to differ so vastly from the rest of the world? Especially since global warming is supposedly a US liberal hoax?

Religious freedom was jeopardized by the introduction of the "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" that was reintroduced in near-identical form in 2005. So far it's gone nowhere, but if introduced again and adopted in the 110th or a later Congress, it would turn the US into a de facto theocracy.

Dominionists like Pat Robertson and others support the bill as do influential sponsoring members of both Houses. Their goal is simple, but they won't admit it - tear down the sacred wall between church and state so the US can be governed by their extremist Christian dogma. It would make believers of other faiths lawbreakers with their version of Christian canon the new law of the land - a very scary prospect for about 75 million non-Christians in the country and many of Christian faith who won't go along.

Please be aware of this bill and write your congressperson to oppose this bill if it ever comes up for vote!!

He is 27 years old, certainly not past his prime for joining up, but not young either.

His financial debt and concerns are a big reason for doing so. He has student loans and some credit debt that isn't cheap but not unbearable either. We both work the same job which isn't the greatest and this is another reason he is leaving.

Overall he seems guardedly excited about the opportunity. I'm aware of all the good in terms of serving your country and the options military service provides for people coming off their duty.....but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm a little concerned about it, especially in a time of war.

What can I offer him as a roommate and friend besides support? He is getting ready to sign paperwork for all of this on Saturday. Maybe you've dealt with this before, or have a better understanding of how to best handle this, or are serving or have served the country before, and can offer advice. Thanks in advance.

A Boston firefighter is mending from what could have been deadly stab wounds he suffered early yesterday morning when he was allegedly jumped in East Boston while off duty by a group of Hispanic males who told him they "don't want any gringo here."

Though police are not classifying the incident as racially fueled, the Boston Police Department's Community Disorders Unit is investigating. The 32-year-old jake, whose name officials were not releasing, is white.

Ironically, the firefighter's life was likely saved because he sought refuge from his alleged assailants at Engine 5 on Saratoga Street - the station house he's assigned to.

"Fortunately, those firefighters were not out on a call," said Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald.

MacDonald said the firefighter had gone to Chivas Restaurant in Day Square to grab takeout when "six guys started exchanging words with him. He indicated he was just there to get a sandwich and that he was a firefighter. They pushed him."

Hoping to avoid a confrontation, MacDonald said the firefighter got into his car and headed for his station for safety's sake, but the pack followed him on foot. It was shortly before 2:45 a.m.

"As soon as he got out of his car, six guys jumped him and started kicking and punching him," MacDonald said. "He felt two sharp pains in his chest and knew he had been stabbed."

The firefighter summoned the help of fellow jakes by ringing the station doorbell and his alleged attackers fled. MacDonald said his injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

"He's more upset about the fact that he's going to miss several shifts," MacDonald

Plenty of other countrys have ID cards(with a microchip inside)already, but this "ID card" could lead to something more sinister. Fortunately, I know what it will lead to. Everyone must be willing to say "NO" when that time approaches and when that time comes? When that time arrives? I am uncertain.
