Has anyone rented a car in Kokomo, Indiana within the last month at AVIS specifically? Question: Im wanting more info about the payment.. do they really put a $200 or more hold on the credit card. Thanks! Answer: I rented there last year while my bike was in the shop. Moved from Kokomo five years ago but still take my bike there to my favorite mechinac. Rode the bike there and drove home the rental. At that time, They ran my card but didn't charge it unless the car is returned in less than perfect condition, under millage, and on time. The charge never showed up on my statement. |

I have two completely unrelated questions. A bank on my street was robbed? Question: by a girl who looks just like me. She also drives a car just like mine, runs away like me, talks like me, smells like me, and might have the same dna but I hope they don't check. My unrelated question is would it be suspicious if I spent $100 bills with red dye on them at Jimmy's Deli in Kokomo, Indiana? Answer: That's the problem with the world these days. People are soooo quick to jump to conclusions. Just because you look like her and have the same DNA, people will assume you are guilty. And just because you spilled red nail polish on a stack of $100 bills, people will assume that you are somehow involved in the bank robbery. My advice would be to simply tell them that it wasn't you. Most people should believe you. After all, it's not like your a criminal or something. |

Have we bottomed out in this economy (recession). Do u feel confident about the immediate future (year)? Question: Precisely 46,113 people lived in Kokomo, Indiana as of the last census. If Chrysler and car parts supplier Delphi go belly-up, almost one in four of them will lose their jobs, adding to the already burdensome 20 percent unemployment. As one auto worker told CNNMoney.com, "If we go down, the whole town goes down." These are well-paying jobs, too, providing the money that turns over many times and passes through many hands before it leaves Kokomo. From the restaurants to the beauty salons, golf courses to the theater, in a company town everyone lives and dies by the company payroll. Answer: I do hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kokomo's unemployment rate continues to go higher. Picture Gary, Indiana and the rest of the steel towns in the U.S. in the 1970's and 1980's. The odds of Chrysler or Delphi surviving this economy are very slim. Our current economy is based upon consumer spending, unless and until we have good jobs actually manufacturing the things that we buy, our economy will not rebound. We cannot expect to prosper by sending all of our money to overseas manufacturers and low wage retailers with no benefits. If you want to know who to thank for the current situation, just wave at the people buying boatloads of foreign goods at Walmart as well as the government and corporations for allowing and supporting them. God Bless America! We'll need it. |

Economy; car companies; UAW; Are we really THAT STUPID? Question: I'm beginning to think that the so called, "Big Three" car companies are now at the point of pandering to congress and the American people by, instead of flying in their corporate jets to Washington DC, driving HYBRIDS for testimony before congress now..... And then we have the almighty UAW taking out full paged ads pretty much "telling" the American people to DEMAND a bail out to prevent the collapse of Ford, GM, and Chrysler! Please tell me that you who are not United Auto Worker Union Members agree with: -paying workers 90% of their contractual wage to take "voluntary" layoffs; thereby pretty much sitting on their butts at home still earning 24.00 an hour for doing absolutely NOTHING! -paying workers to meet daily "quotas" on production that were so low it virtually guaranteed that you could walk into any US Auto Manufacturing Plant to find workers making 27.00 an hour playing cards, sleeping under work stations, and leaving the premises to return four hours later to "clock out"; in the case that one of their fellow workers would not do it for them? -having health insurance benefits that met or exceeded those of the sloths in our government and pretty much assured full coverage for something so simple as a runny nose? -Pensions....oh every UAW member should and DESERVES to have a lifetime PENSION for the virtual DESTRUCTION of the American Auto Industry. Hell, I agree with it.....I work at a convenience store for peanuts and have to put up with these A-Holes on a daily basis. There's an ATTITUDE there that says, "You OWE ME. MY JOB KEEPS THIS TOWN ALIVE"..... And they treat everyone that way...... So who was it that actually brought the pride of American Industry to it's knees? Was it me? Mr. Convenience Store worker with no health insurance, working for peanuts but making it the best I can? Or Mr. "Big Three Auto WORKER" who bled these companies to DEATH! I don't discount the non union HEADS of these bloated car companies at all.....their boards are RUBBER STAMPS for FAILURE. I say, let them FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in a huge Chrysler and Delphi town....Kokomo Indiana.... We'll survive no matter; perhaps it's time the UAW got their heads out of their collective A--es and realized, the world has changed..... What do YOU THINK? Answer: I agree. Let em fail. I came from an auto worker city (a big Chrysler engine plant was located there) and was always disappointed by the auto industry. Because of seniority, all of the workers that worked there were about 70 years old. I didn't know of any folks my age who could get a job there. And then Chrysler would lay off the highly paid union auto workers from time to time and they would try to get scab workers to fill in for them while the auto workers were all on strike or on vacation or wherever the hell they went. They would put you through a ridiculous hiring process just to work for a 90 day period (I never did get hired even for that). The people who did the hiring were a bunch of jerks. There were no guarantees of permanent employment with them. And, of course, they never did hire any of the new people. The whole American auto industry (management and the union) seemed like a pile of crap to me. It seemed like a fading, outdated industry. I sure hope they don't get bailout money. I am still upset with ANY business or industry getting even one dime from that corporate welfare bailout bill. There shouldn't have been any bailout for anyone. Ah, this subject makes me angry. |

Should I move out from my parent's home? Question: I'm 22 and since graduation my parents have been really awful toward me. Even before graduation though they were just straight up mean. They now are constantly threatening me by telling me that they are going to kick me out of the house and such. I'd actually love for them to do so at this point. But, as soon as I say I am going they have a fit and tell me that I can't go. My dad is abusive with his words. I am constantly called stupid or and idiot and never have been respected by him. He is an all around mean guy. My mom is also verbally abusive. She is constantly calling me a failure at everything I've done. I can't blame her, but that is not what you do to your child. You encourage them. College and me have never been bff's and finding a job is harder than finding a needle in a hay stack here where I live in Kokomo, Indiana. The job market is totally horrible! My mom also is physically abusive and I have been in several physical fights with her because she was trying to hit or punch me. I only defend myself. I have never hit her. I have on several occasions had to threaten her with calling the cops and she just laughs and says go ahead. They have given me a curfew and will not let me go out of town unless they know exactly where I am and will not let me stay with anyone. The only person they will ever let me stay with is by bff. They know her so they feel that its ok. I never ask them for anything other than gas money only on certain occasions. I don't have lots of clothing because they refuse to help me buy any. They have never really bought me clothing though. Most of it is hand me downs from friends or from goodwill. I say all this to ask advice.... I want to move to the bigger town Indianapolis which is an hour away, and as much as they say that they are going to kick me out they are refusing to let me move there. If I do they are saying they will take my car and make it virtually impossible for me to move. My boyfriend is willing to come and get me and move me in with him. He lives in Indy. But, if I were to do that my family would disown me because of how they believe. I just don't know what to do anymore. I want to know how I can go about doing this without all of the hassle of them being mad or disowning me for getting out on my own. I feel I need to do this for myself though!!!! HELP!!!!!!! Answer: At 22, you can marry without your parents' permission. Living with a husband might not be in conflict with their beliefs. I am assuming that your boyfriend treats you with respect and you would not be moving from one abusive situation to another. If you are not ready to marry, you could also get a job in Indy and get a small affordable apartment. If you have no money for a deposit, perhaps you could borrow some from a friend and then pay them back promptly from your paycheck. |

I just got hauled in for my 4th DUI. Need a Lawyer to help me through this.? Question: I got my 4th DUI last night in Indiana (actually called an OWI here) and I got out of the drunk tank this afternoon. I had been drinking pretty hard down in Broad Ripple and tried to make it home to Kokomo, and I got pulled over in Hamilton county. I did the field sobriety tests, and I swear I was passing them with flying colors, but I had vomitted in my car on the passenger seat before I got pulled over, and the cop smelled it (or so he says) and asked to look in the car. As soon as he shined his flashlight on the puke, he demanded to breathalyze me and I blew a 0.28 and got taken to the Noblesville drunk tank. Basically, I'm just really pissed off right now, and this is total B.S. that I got pulled over for going 8 over the speed limit, but I'm also scared because I don't know what will happen since this is my 4th since 2003. It took a ton of work, money, and effort to get off without jail on my 3rd. I'm completely out of money now, and I need anyone in law school, or already a lawyer to give me some advice. I need help. I've got a good, high paying job and 2 kids that I owe support on. I've also got 2 good girlfriends, and I can't afford to do any time right now. Just so you guys know... DUI 1: I was driving home from a bar and my Camaro slid on a patch of ice and I hit a telephone pole. I still drove away from that wreck, but a cop pulled me over because he saw that my car was all effed up. Then he did the breathalyzer. That is B.S. cuz I would've easily made it home if not for the ice. Then I woulda easily STILL made it home, but a dumb do-gooder cop felt like "helping" me. DUI 2: I got pulled over for my headlight being out while I was on the way home from a bar that was 2 miles away! Can I not just drive a MILE with one headlight without being bothered by pigs? So then of course, we do the whole song and dance, and I blow a 0.18 DUI 3: I was driving home late at night from a bar in Greenwood and a dumbass ran into me and it shut my car off. Cops show up, breathalyze us both, and I end up going to the drunk tank because another guy HIT ME. The wreck was his fault, and yet I get charged with a 0.16 DUI. So don't think im Jack the Ripper Answer: If you are convicted of OWI in Indiana, a range of punishment can be imposed. â—¦First offenders can expect probation, payment of restitution, a license suspension and payment of court costs. Many courts require a jail sentence, even for first offenders, especially if the OWI involves an alcohol level of .15% or more. â—¦Second offenses carry greater penalties. A felony may be imposed and reduced later; jail time may be required; probation; road crew; public restitution; home detention; and increased costs. 6 months to 1 year is a typical license suspension for a second-time OWI. â—¦Third or subsequent offenses largely depend on the timing of your prior offenses. If you are habitual traffic violator eligible, you will lose your license for 10 years, plus anywhere from 3-9 months of jail time and a lengthy probation. In Indiana there are at least three (3) recidivist or repeat offender consequences for OWI. First, and most serious, Indiana has a habitual substance offender statute that could yield up to 8 additional years in jail if filed against a client with two (2) or more prior offenses. Second, a felony OWI in Indiana usually involves a prior offense within 5 years of the current charge. Finally, habitual traffic violator status is imposed on OWI offenders who accumulate three (3) OWI's in a ten (10) year period. If you have 3 major traffic violations in a 10 year period you may lose your license for 10 years. If you have 1 major violation, plus 9 or more minor moving violations like speeding, then you may lose your license for 5 years. If you drive after being found a habitual offender, you can lose your license for life. If you drive suspended after a drunk driving conviction suspension, there is a mandatory 60-day jail sentence. Sadly, your assertion that you "...can't afford to do any time right now..." is not going to fly. 4th offense inside a six year period makes you a habitual substance offender, and can net you an ADDITIONAL 8 years in prison above and beyond whatever the judge tosses at you for this offense. Also, you said: "...this is total B.S. that I got pulled over for going 8 over the speed limit...". Dude, that mindset is what has you where you are. You were speeding. 8 over the LIMIT is speeding. You weren't sorta drunk, you weren't sorta speeding, and you aren't sorta a candidate for further probation - this time, you've hit the big time. Take a look in the mirror. Who's in there? - Stuart |
