[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 636188, member: 1514"] Talk about cats...your difficult child seems to always land on his feet! Thats something that really gets me about some of these difficult child's. They can manage to slide through life without anything touching them. If anything happens to me, the worst things happen. Years and years ago I wrote a $25 check during a hurricane to a little store for some supplies on my way to a shelter that I was forced to volunteer at. I had to get some ice, drinks, cookies and snack foods...etc. Well, that little store was demolished during the hurricane so somehow the checks they took in right before the hurricane didnt get deposited. I never noticed it because it was for a small amount and I dont balance my checkbook like im supposed to...I use the ATM method along with trying to remember what has gone through and what hasnt. Obviously I simply didnt add well. About 2 years later I get served with a warrant saying I had a bad check charge! OMG....I rushed down to the magistrates office and paid the whole thing off. That all happened in the mid 90's. About 2005 I tried to get a job working in a calling center for a bank they ran a background check that supposedly only went back 7 years but they pulled up that check charge which was 9 years old. I was offered the job then when the background check came back they took back the offer. Now had I known that one little bad check charge would effect me so much, I could have done something totally different. I could have gone to court, had them do a prayer for judgement continued which means only that if I didnt get in trouble again within the next 12 months my record would be clear. I also wouldnt have had to pay anything!!!!! Well except that original 25 bucks. As it was I paid court costs and all sorts of things. I tried to do the right thing and got screwed. This is why Im so paranoid about breaking the law. I am convinced if I so much as forget to pay for that gallon of milk on the bottom of the cart...or the bottle of juice I drank while shopping, I will get busted for shoplifting and go to jail. I wouldnt get a ticket...nope, they will put me under the jail. [/QUOTE]
