PAWN SHOPS

A pawnbroker makes loans on personal property left as collateral. The property can be redeemed when the loan plus interest is repaid.The interest rates for pawnshops, which may be regulated by state or local laws, may range from 5% to 6% a month. Loans can usually be renewed, but only if the interest for the original period has been paid.Pawnbrokers will accept a variety of personal property as collateral. Usually, items that are small or of modest value (jewelry, clocks, computers, camcorders, silverware, etc.) Brokers won't lend more money than they think they can get if the pledged item is not redeemed and has to be sold.When a pledged item is not redeemed, brokers are required to notify pawners that the loan period has expired and to give them a final opportunity to redeem their personal property before the broker has the right to sell the item. In some jurisdictions, brokers may keep all the money received from the sale of the unredeemed pledge. In other cases, the broker may only keep the original loan and any interest due, but must turn any excess over to the pawner.In many states, pawnbrokers are required by law to file with the local police a daily list of items that have been pledged. They must report and give a description of the object along with serial number and other points of identification.This gives the police an opportunity to check these pledge items against any list of reported stolen items. In somebody buys a stolen item from a pawnbroker, it must be returned, and the broker must refund the purchase price to the customer.DEBT LIMIT. Installment debt should not exceed 10% of take-home pay. A debt ratio of 20% indicates trouble ahead. However, when computing for your debt ratio, you must not include mortgage payments in the amount of debt.

HANDY FIRST AID TIPS

When someone is injured or suddenly becomes ill, there is usually a critical period before you can get medical treatment and it is this period that is of the utmost importance to the victim. What you do, or what you don't do, in that interval can mean the difference between life and death. You owe it to yourself, your family and your neighbors to know and to understand procedures that you can apply quickly and intelligently in an emergency. Every household should have some type of first aid kit, and if you do not already have one, assemble your supplies now. Tailor the contents to fit your family's particular needs. Don't add first aid supplies to the jumble of toothpaste and cosmetics in the medicine cabinet. Instead, assemble them in a suitable, labeled box (such as a fishing tackle box or small took chest with hinged cover), so that everything will be handy when needed. Label everything in the kit clearly, and indicate what it is used for.Be sure not to lock the box - otherwise you may be hunting for the key when that emergency occurs. Place the box on a shelf beyond the reach of small children, and check it periodically and always restock items as soon as they are used up.Keep all medications, including non-prescription drugs such as aspirin, out of reach of children. When discarding drugs, be sure to dispose of them where they cannot be retrieved by children or pets.When an emergency occurs, make sure the injured victim's airway is not blocked by the tongue and that the mouth is free of any secretions and foreign objects. It is extremely important that the person is breathing freely. And if not, you need to administer artificial respiration promptly.See that the victim has a pulse and good blood circulation as you check for signs of bleeding. Act fast if the victim is bleeding severely or if he has swallowed poison or if his heart or breathing has stopped. Remember every second counts.Although most injured persons can be safely moved, it is vitally important not to move a person with serious neck or back injuries unless you have to save him from further danger. Keep the patient lying down and quiet. If he has vomited and there is no danger that his neck is broken, turn him on his side to prevent choking and keep him warn by covering him with blankets or coats.Have someone call for medical assistance while you apply first aid. The person who summons help should explain the nature of the emergency and ask what should be done pending the arrival of the ambulance. Reassure the victim, and try to remain calm yourself. Your calmness can allay the feat and panic of the patient.Don't give fluids to an unconscious or semiconscious person; fluids may enter his windpipe and cause suffocation. Don't try to arouse an unconscious person by slapping or shaking.Look for an emergency medical identification card or an emblematic device that the victim may be wearing to alert you to any health problems, allergies or diseases that may require special care.

A DRIVE ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON

This story all happened in just one day. We took off for a drive around 10 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon. On this drive we saw, so many different things that I wanted to share it with everyone. Fiftheen from our house, we saw the mountain that is showing above. We noticed that it looked just like someone giving the number one sign. I thought it was very unique.

Just a short drive further down the road, we came across some beautiful ranches. There were so many cows and all these new babies. Boy, these animals have it made living right next to the Snake River.

From there we were just in time, to see a military helicopter practicing his lifts and landings. Not being the only ones that were interested, there were several people that were watching. It’s something that you just don’t see every day and we happen to be there at the right time.

We decided to stop for lunch at this very nice little restaurant. You sure could tell that we were not locals, the few that were in there were dressed like ranch folks.

After lunch we stop by this outdoor museum that had all kinds of very cool old antiques.
We were lucky to find a stone monument that told the story about Otter’s Massacre of 1860.
We followed several of the posted monuments that told different stories about the Oregon Trail. History not being one of my favorite course’s I rediscovered what our ancestors went through. We don’t have it so bad; we need to remember what it was like for them.

Just a short ride down the highway we came across some good old boys really working hard.
It was my first round up, that I had ever seen. It was very cool to watch. They were branding them. Ouch!

At the end of our day, we saw a flag at the top of a rugged mountain. Thank God that somebody cared enough to climb that mountain to placing an American flag on the top of it. This should remind us that we have our freedom, to enjoy a day like the one we had. Thanks to whoever placed it up there!

Well it’s late and I need to get to bed so I will leave you now with this thought! “Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings.” Bye for now.

LIVING IN IDAHO

My husband & I moved Idaho just over 8 months ago. I have a cousin & her family who have been here since 1980's. My husband's son & family moved here 2 years ago. We love it here... All of us being from California, this state reminds us of the way California use to be. It's not over populated & the folks here are so friendly.

I am 53 years old & I remember when California was a wonderful place to live, but here in Idaho it feels like coming home.

I have an older son who is in the Army up in Kentucky. He is divorced but this wonderful Texan/Tennessean girlfriend, which I just love. He has been over to Iraq twice & before long, will have to go back over to that direction again. I worry, but I am not scared because he is a Christian. I know with all my heart that God will protect him. Even though, he would like to be out there in front of the bad guys. God has put him in the back ground repairing helicopters. I am looking forward to him getting out & coming here with his lovely girl & her two daughters. Hopefully one day they will get married & I have will have two more granddaughters.

My youngest son lives in Northern California with his wife & my very first granddaughter. She is just 4 months old & has this beautiful little attitude. My son works as a termite inspector & his wife is studying to become a per school teacher. They have a wonderful home close to a lake where they take out the boat & play. He has this dog named "4" who loves to swim. I think he is part fish. He stays out there in the deep water with my son for hours at a time. It is so funny to watch that dog. One day I am praying that my son & his family will relocate here with us... Well that's all I have to say for right now, it's been kind of cool writing this little message. I will leave on this note, “Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life." Bye for now...draft10:25:00 AMby Linda LindDelete1 – 1 of 1Bottom of Form

Our Life as of Today 7/25/2008
My husband is retired and he helps out at his son’s auto shop here in Nampa Idaho. He retired from Tehachapi School district over two years ago. Not wanting to be a mechanic again, he was hoping to find some little part time job that he would enjoy. He loves being around his son and all those guys that just love to hang out around Troy’s shop. I think that sometimes doing things for others, like Chuck does helps to keep him young. They all have fun down there, but they do work hard when the work is there. Troy has a Chevy Nova 1966 that he loves to race out at Firebird race track.

He has made some new changes to the car, so he did not do as well as he would have liked to. He has a lot of friends that race there also, but he has some many friends that love to come watch him.

I started a new web site called www.livinginidahotoday.com/ or net so that I could help do some advertising for his shop. His shop is called General Car & Exhaust. He is located at 1524 1st Street South Nampa, ID 83651, with phone number 208-467-9160. If you are in the area drop by and visit with the boys, and if you are looking for an honest mechanic you have found one or maybe two! If you are lucky Chuck will work on your car. Enough about that..

We have been on some adventures since we have been here. We have been over to Idaho City, city of Donnelly where we went on a hay ride. It was a Christmas present that our daughter-in-law set up. It was wonderful! They drove us back just a little ways into the most beautiful site of Elk’s. They were everywhere. There were old grandpa ones, and some young ones. I can’t tell you how many that was there, but a good guess would be about 75. We were all sitting on bells of hay and once we stopped then that was when the Elk would come up to the wagon and eat the hay right from underneath us. I was laughing hysterically. I had one Elk so close to me that every time he came up with his mouth full of hay he would rub his nose against my coat. It was hilarious. If you ever get a chance to go on that hay ride up there, be sure to take your kids. It’s something that everyone needs to do at least once.
We drove up to Twin Falls to see the Water Falls. The Snake River flows through this beautiful canyon. There is a golf course down in the canyon that is so lovely; I would love to play there. You can also take a hike around the ridge. Some really free sprits hand glide into the canyon. Now that is something I don’t think I would like to do, but it was cool to watch the younger ones. We love taking our dog Chico over to the river so he can jump in and play. My husband has tried to fish there with our grandkids. But with Chico jumping in and out of the water there is no catching of any kind of fish. It was my idea to take the dog; we got him from the animal shelter in Caldwell. We did not know how he would act around water, so now in the future no dogs on any fishing trips. Well I think I will leave this message for now, but I want to leave you with a thought. “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care about them.” Bye for now.
