Okay I can't tell you exactly where I live because I have this huge fear of being sued for slander, but I will tell you that if you search my website you can find the answer to that question. This page is about the place where I live. I have nick named it the children of the corn town because as you can see by the storys I am about to tell, it is very odd indeed.

WARNING: When in the market for a used car DO NOT go to Just Used Autos located at 533 W. Airport... Carthage, MO 64836. (417)358-2269 sieker4@hotmail.com I made the mistake of purchasing a vehicle from this very unprofessional person and he has made my life a living hell. I traded in an old Honda that was a piece of junk and got what I thought was a fare deal at first... but when the man found he could not sell my Honda even once he fixed it, he did anything and everything to get my new car back in his possesion so that he could resale it to make up for his loss. My payments were origionally due on Thursdays and I was to pay weekly. The people were never in the office where I was to make payments and I had to send them through the mail. The fist payment was late as a result but I mails the first and 2nd at the same time realizing that making the payments was going to be more difficult than I thought. After the first two payments Daves secretery Miranda started manning the office at random because they were missing a lot of sales. I asked Miranda if I could make my payments on Mondays and she said that was fine. I then began making payments on Monday. I made two in person and a friend of mine made a 3rd in person. At no time when these payments were made did Miranda say anything about them being late. I paid regularly on Mondays and then I fell behind for 3 days according to the agreement that Miranda and I made. I then woke up and my car was gone! They had repossed it and accused me of failure to pay for 2 weeks which was not accurate. Dave claimed he knew nothing of the agreement that Miranda and I had made. Miranda also denied making the agreement. I was charged $150.00 for the repo charge and an additional $40.00 in late fees! Dave insisted that because I had nothing in writing that it didn't mean anything. I felt as though I could trust Mirandas word and that since she was his "secretary" she would make the neccessary changes. When speaking to Dave about the matter I insisted that before giving him the cash I wanted copys of my page in his book and something in writing as per our agreement of him meeting me at 12:15 on Thurdays in order to exchange payments as I did not want to deal with his obviously disfunctional secretary. He informed me that every piece of paper I requested from him would be a $10.00 cash charge. I always paid these people in cash and on most occasions the secretary did not have the books when receiving payment, although Dave insisted that the books were always on the site. He also claimed that the office was always open but that too was a lie even though there is a sign saying that the hours are Mon-Fri at such and such time on the door. So take it from me a lesson learned, do not purchase anything from this man and if you have no choice make sure that you have it all on paper and avoid his secretary. If it is to good to be true it probably is and in this case it definately was!




























An Old Children of The Corn Poster

TOTAL INVASION: Every summer in Augest 45,000 (that's not a typo) additional people invade our small town. They are all vietnamese and they come here for some kind of convention for three days. Keep in mind our population is only 14,000 so of course we can not accomodate them. So guess what happens? They camp out. That doesn't sound that bad except for they set up camp right in your yard and on sidewalks anyplace they can. All the roads are blocked off and you are pretty much trappped inside until it is over.

NOT SO FAST FAST FOOD: We have just about every fastfood joint around here which is great, the only problem is that there can be 10 employees behind the counter but they can only handle one order at a time. The take an order and then make it.. then they take another one and make it. You get the picture.... It can be so frustrating at times.

Carthage courthouse

The photo above is a picture of our actual courthouse and although I must admit it is a beautiful structure the odd thing is that on the weekends the teenagers actually cruise around it in a tiny circle. I guess it doesn't take much to amuse some people.

MY BANK: When I go to the bank I park in the parking lot, I then have to walk all the way around the building through the grass to go inside because when they built it they put the doors on the wrong side of the building! How stupid is that?

The Square that surrounds the courthouse.

It has been brought to my attention that some of the people in my town find this portion of my website offensive. There are some positive things about my town as well. For a town this size you can pretty much get all your needs met. They have a Walmart and a bowling alley and if that doesn't impress you try the skating rink... still not impressed? Okay now this is impressive we have a drive in movie theater. That is cool. And there are a lot of really cool homes and stuff. This town is also home to the Precious Moments Chaple... you know thoes little people with the giant heads... So there you have it. You know I could have written worse, I could have written about the man who tried to marry his horse forcing Missouri to pass a law saying that you can not marry an animal, but I didn't.






I arrived here in this town about a year and a half ago by some cruel twist of fate I think. The population is about 14,000 people so granted it took some adjusting as I am used to much larger surroundings. But nothing prepared me for the experiences I have had so far.

PRINCESS OF DARKNESS: I didn't have a religious background growing up and once I made the mistake of calling a phone psyic hotline where I was told I was a princess of darkness. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I moved here I began to wonder. The thing is you can't do anything in this town without being invited to church. The clerks at the Walmart will ask me when I pay for my food, every Saturday without fail churches come to the door trying to solicit us into church. For a while I thought maybe there was something seriously wrong with me, like maybe they all knew my innermost secrets and that something truely evil lurked inside of me, but after a while someone told me I was now living in the Bible belt. To this day it still happens.

THE RINGING PHONE: If you are not convinced already that I live in one of the strangest places in the world read this. There is a car dealership about 3 blocks from my house that has a very loud intercom system. Everyday when they close the phone starts ringing over the intercom and continues until the open again in the morning. Me thinking this was not only bizarr but also annoying decided to investigate. It seems that the reason they turn the phone on... is.. are you ready for this? To keep the birds away!!!!!!!!

Okay maybe a slight exageration but there really are a lot of people here with no teeth.

The photo above is not an actual picture of one of the many toothless people that live here, but it is a fare and just representation. Seriously there are a large amount of people both male and female here that have missing teeth. I think it has something to do with crack and also poor dentistry in the area. Lets just say that when it comes to dating I pretty much import my men.

By now you are probably asking if she hates it so much there why doesn't she move.. the answer is simple. It is the only place I know of where you can buy a 4 bedroom victorian style home with an in ground pool for $60,000.00. It is the perfect place for a single parent to raise children and afford it.
