The Bounced Check

Okay Dipsters...............

I found some stuff out after hearing about a friend of mine who's support check bounced after already being a couple weeks late.

My friend had no desires to head back into the courtroom arena and asked me if I knew what to do. Well, after a few calls to some contacts I have found out the following information and thought I would pass it on to my readers:

1. Make a copy of any check prior to depositing. This will allow you to reference check #, date written, account number and routing number
2. Once the check has been deposited and has bounced....
3. You then need to create a letter with the facts 1. you received this check #, amount, drawn on this account name on this date. Then advise that check bounced and that the person has 8 days to make good on the check or you will begin prosecution proceedings. (you have to have this part in the letter.)
4. You need to send this letter certified mail with confirmation of delivery (about 3.00)
5. Then you wait.
6. On the 8th day if no money has been recieved and the check then made "good."
7. You head to your local police office for a "bad check packet."
8. You fill out the information and a warrant will be issued for that person's arrest.

It is pretty amazing that we have this much power behind us for people that bounce checks and we do not even have to involve an attorney, court time, costs, etc.

I thought this would be helpful information for anyone who has suffered from this problem before.

Otherwise...........Have a great day!

Positive Thinking

Good Morning !
It is bright and sunny out and looks to be a great day.
I have recently purchased "The Secret's Gratitude" journal.
I do not know if any of you have seen the movie, or read the book
but it is all about Positive Thinking and being grateful for what you
have in this world and positivie thinking about what you will have.
The Gratitude journal can be purcashed for @ 13.95 at Walmart.
It is simple, just jot down daily the things you are grateful for on one
page and the other, those things you are grateful for in the future.
The idea behind it is to have you start thinking about what good
you have in your life and all the good that is still to come.
So even when you are down and out, or having a bad day,
realize, things happen for a reason and something good will come out of it
you may not see it at first. But give it time!

I have started this journal and am going to try it. I will keep you updated
on whether or not I really enjoy it , if I feel it is working, etc.

If any of you have a great book you would like to recommend to my readers
please feel free to email me at jules@dipnight.com

I hope you all have a GREAT tuesday!

Rainy Day

Okay, so we wake up and the sky is grey, we are wanting so desperately to pull the covers over our heads and go back to sleep, but we then realize it is Monday and we have to work.......UGH!
Well , it could be worse, you could be waking up to the skylights in your house leaking, a sale that you thought was going to happen fall through and an X husband that has not paid you money he owes you! Well...........now that 's a reason to pull those covers over one's head!

But we are stronger than that.......right.
Pull your self up by the boot straps, call a friend for some support and get ready to face the world. If there is one thing I have learned, you never know what is going to happen next! You may hit lotto today, or find the perfect love, or have your child do something that you hoped you never missed, like walk for the first time!

Life is meant to be lived, the good the bad, and the ugly..........so when you are waking up remember a couple things

1. Someone else has it worse than you
2. It is another day you are breathing and walking (that's a good thing)
3. It is a chance to make something wrong , RIGHT, or do something that get's you that much closer to your dream!
4.Life is meant to be LIVED ..... a rollercoaster ride it may be, but if you don't get in the car......you'll never experience the thrill!

Enjoy Today!

A Night At Leon's

I just need to tell you all about a restaurant in New Haven which opened on Dec 31, 2008!

It is called Leon's. You may know the name, as it was a local restaurant for years and closed down sometime ago. It is re opened in the location of the "Rusty Scupper!" The locale is fantastic. It over looks the waters of New Haven Harbour. The restaurant has been remodeled, the new bar area is larger and last night they had a wonder jazz band playing. But make reservations, as they are very very busy!

Sue and I walked into the crowded bar just as two people were getting up and gave us their seats. It could not have been better timing. Then we ordered 2 drinks, and the guy that was getting up was asking for his tab, funny thing, our drinks were put on his tab and he just laughed and said, "I got them for these two beautiful woman." The night started out great!

Steve met up with us later we had dinner , the lobster cream sauce over pasta is fantastic.


Sue...stay strong. You are awesome.
Ran into Jahala, it was great to see you......enjoy your travels!
Eileen...... you were missed, but we will do it again!
Amy........... we missed your smiling face behind the bar!

For a great evening of fun and food, try Leon's!

Have a great day..........Jules

February 6, 2008

Well all, it is day one of my blog and wow is this exciting!

Thanks to my cousins in Oklahoma....I am on my way to completing my website and my desire to communicate with many!

My website is a supporting place for woman or men going through a transitional relationship change. About 3 years ago my husband walked out on me and my 2 children, while my mother and father were facing a life battle with Cancer. I felt as if I was hit by a freight train. But 3 years of trying to figure it all out has lead me to creating "dipnight.com" I have helped woman and men in my community re-build their lives by providing a network of supporting people whom I call "friends." Although you may not feel as if you have any at one point in your life or another, when you enter into my website and share a "dipnight" with us....you are sure to gain friends and feel accepted. I look forward to posting various experiences, challenges, successes, friendships and just plain funny stories on this blog. So stay tune and keep up with the life of "Jules!"

.............Live life to the fullest!
