This tickles me, it is now July 2, 2008. I had almost forgotten about this page! So much is the same...kinda depressing. LOL I have a myspace page too. Search for Marian Latimer.
Just a quick update, I can't believe it is October 2004!!! already. Where does the time go? I will update a bit in this part of the page the rest will have to stay the same old news for awhile.
It is strange but not much has changed in the 2 years since my last update. I still have my salon, still married to David. The crazy b**** that I talk about below got what she deserved, 2 years house arrest, 2 years probation followed by 2 years supervision. Unfortunatly I won't get the money back, but I am still hoping I'll get it back some day.
I went into business Nov.2000 with another woman in the salon where I worked. We opened our own place. I knew going in that the lady, Cindy had problems and a bad rep. but I thought I could protect myself...Ha fool that I am. Turns out she is a thief, a liar, and a con artist.
I was doing hair the week before Christmas when I got a phone call from some guy asking me if I wanted to pick up the rest of my furniture...I hadn't bought ANY furniture at all. Turned out that Cindy had financed several thousand dollars worth in my name! I flipped out on several levels. One of them being that no matter how hard I tried to get her to keep up with her part of the bills she still owed me 8,000.00 dollars thru the business and personal.
I made her return the furniture (actually I did) She looked me in the eye and swore that was the ONLY time! She also looked me in the eye and said F-U when I wouldn;t agree to buy her the furniture anyway. So I decided to forgive her and let her keep working at the salon (eight thousand dollars).
At the end of Jan. I got a letter from ANOTHER furniture store THANKING me for my business. Well, It turns out that she had gone to this place first then decided she liked the other stores stuff better so she returned the furniture from the first place.
Well, I couldn't keep quiet anymore, I told my husband and my family what a total fool I had been and we all tried to figure out what to do.
First of all...get her out of the salon! I didn't want to look at her! I had the locks changed on the door and the mailbox. I changed the bank acct. to my name.
I called my lawyer and told her to work out some papers for her to sign saying she owed me the money. Well, Cindy said she wouldn't sign unless I signed something saying I wouldn't press charges. (I couldn't do that,,,for one thing it would seem like I was trying to make her sign or else, which was NOT the case) She owes me the money and she will have to pay, even if I have to sue her for it.
Anyway she didn't get in touch with my lawyer for 3 weeks in the mean time I had discovered that she had been a busy girl with my ss# and pretending to be me all over town! I decided that I had to press charges. They arrested her week before last in the city we live in and will arrest her next week in the next town over where she bought the most of the furniture....I don't know what is going to happen but I do know she did this way to easy she has HAD to have done this to someone else.
She has actualy called me and told me that I wasn't a good christian OR she begged me to lie and say I gave her permission HA NO WAY!
She also threatened to have my business phone cut off because it was in her name. Well I had spent my time talking to someone high up in the company and explained the situation, I faxed them copies of my shop license (in my name) plus the other bills (in my name), so the day before they arrested her the phone was in my name and she couldn't touch it!! YEAH me.
I haven't heard from her since neither has my lawyer, but I am going to get her to write a letter demanding the money she owes me.
All I can think of is she must have thought I was really stupid, even though I must have mentioned a thousand times to her and to customers that I DID go to college and I was on the Deans list most of the time. I just loved doing hair more than being in the business world, so here I am with my very own salon that I never wanted,One of the good things is my sister works with me and owns part of the Tanning salon. My husband moved back here from Florida to be with me. Ah me.
SOMEONE needs to throw a pity party in my honor!hahaha
If anyone takes the time to read this...why WHY do you think she did this to me? I tried so very hard to be there for her when she needed me, sans the $8000.00, I just don't understand. Am I just vindictive (sort of a I told you not to F*** with me type reaction) having her arrested or since she broke the law am I doing the right thing?
I had gallbladder surgery June 2001. It hasn't been easy and I am still trying to figure out what foods I can and can not eat. But,I am recovering nicely. I want to thank all of you who have e-mailed me or signed my book-THANK YOU!:))
My Dad was very ill from the end of November 1998 until I am sad to say he passed away right before Christmas 1999.
It has been hard to keep up with things on the "net" just know I am still here! I love to hear from you all.
I am going to start putting all of my pictures into the photopoint (see the link) ON my page the photo point link doesn't show up (it is just a block w/an X) but it still works.
HEY YA'LL look at my "Georgia" salon's racecar! It is just way too cool.
Hi Ya'll!! My name is Marian.My husband calls me Kat or Katamia I lived near Atlanta from 1986 'til November 1999. Now I live in Mississippi to be closer to my Mother for awhile.
I am now 40 years young, my birthday is October 26th. I have been married to David L. for over 12 years now (every year I tell him he was lucky to survive! LOL), with one daughter Amber Nicole (nikis2kool@aol.com) who is 21andyoucan'ttellmewhattodo! years old. Her Dad's name is Rocco G.. He and I were married for about 2 years a long LONG time ago, but he is a great Dad. ,(he said any single women can e-mail him at Rocomics@aol.com)
I come from a really large family, there's my Mom: Virginia and my Step-Dad: Don. My Dad-Ollen and my Step-Mother: Ethel. And 8 brothers and sisters---Day, Donnie,David,Cheryl,Me:)),Christi,Kit,James and Karen. You'd get bored if I listed the spouses and children.:)) But I am going to do it anyway, lets see..there's.... David B., Louise, Kendal, David A.,(my hubby David L.), Scott, Mary, Anne, and my new brother-in-law Jason.
Then the kids are Allen, Emily#1, Timmy, Jason, Ryan, Stacy, Jena, Christopher, Kali#1, Corey, Kali#2, Kathen, Bryce, Emily#2 and Mason. I love each and every one of them. (Karen, we are waiting on you now!) These pictures are a few years old, I will replace when I can remember how.
I also have a brother-in-law Larry, his wife Susan and her two children Tammy And Travis. **just a note, somebody drove a truck INTO their living room. No one was hurt, but can you imagine?** My Mother-in-law's name is Addis, Hello Addis!! I love you! &
My brother James wants me to tell anyone who even thinks of messing with me that I have TWO brothers who were MARINES and they will kick their butts! Haha My other brothers aren't creampuffs either. I thought that was sweet and had to add it to my page.
This is the darling sister who wrote such a mean thing about me in my guestbook!:))Helped by her friend Pam She and her husband are in a rockin' band called "Disciplined Son"
I am a hair stylist, not what my Mother sent me to college for, but I really really enjoy my work. One of the things I studied was Art... so for me, cutting hair is like sculpture! only using hair instead of another medium.
It would be interesting (to me anyway) to hear what your thoughts are on tipping...as a hair stylist, I am all for it! The bigger the better! LOL No really, it makes us feel good when we get tipped. We work hard to please sometimes "difficult" people. And kids, ugh, don't get me started! Moms and Dads should tip double when we do their little darlings.LOL Children are the most difficult to do and are usually the ones we don't get tipped for. My oldest sister Day says she never tips and I must say I was shocked to hear that. What do you think about it? E-mail me don't put it in my guestbook, I have noticed since moving to MS that they don't really tip here. It is strange.
My new salon is called SOUTHERN STYLES. My partner Cindy S. and I opened Nov.2000 after the salon where we'd both been working closed due to the owners illness. He is fine now thank God and lets all pray he is back up and running his salon soon! (His name is Danny K. and he had a liver transplant the first of the year)
We are located in Laurel, MS CALL ME if you need a cut, color, perm....:)))

My favorite quote is "I have always relied on the kindness of strangers"
But in real life it is your friends who get you through the rough times. I have had many special friends, ShariKay Steiner,Laura Howard, Sandra Landrum, Betsy Clark, Nan Gibson,Mike Headrick(where are you?) and thats just the Mississippi group. And don't forget Kevin O'Brien, the boy who gave me the mumps AND chicken pox! Louisiana High School friends were Mark Rachel,Debbie Warshaw, Allen Robichaux who is living in Cuba with his beautiful family. Cuba?, Elise Besse, the Burge Brothers, Keith and Brian, Becky and Babby Burke, Janie and Barb Hamrick, the Palaramo boys-- Just too many to name, ALL of the Palm Lake bunch.
Go Salmen High Class of 79!
I haven't forgotten the "mostest specialest" friend in my young life was and always will be Kim Raines. We spent most of our 20's having one BIG PARTY!! Luv ya sweetie-pie!!!
Johnny Navarre where ever you are---You missed out BIG TIME bub:))
And to Mark Slade...luv ya babe! Here is one for you from 1984!
The last 9 years or so have brought me, Starr Gotti and her son Rylan who were like family to me. I haven't spoken to her in a long time and I have NO CLUE as to why. I want to say HELLO to Kevin who is my "guy" buddy even if the only time we ever see him is when he wants his hair cut!!:). And alas not even for a cut now that I am so far away...I luv ya. I am so happy you have reconnected with your exwife after all these years! And now there is Kathie Bell who is my favorite sounding (off?) board. I have found as the years go by that one special friend is just as good as lots of friends. Especially if you tend to run in circles like I DO! (note to Kathy...you are a very special friend..tell Dean we'll do lunch real soon)
I want to say a BIG hello to my new e-mail buddy's Delvin, his wife Jana. The reunion was a blast! I put pictures in photopoint.
My husband is a nice man. Just no sense of romance. He is handsome, tall, blonde with the bluest blue eyes you ever want to look at. It is usually the first thing you notice about him.
He "retired" from his job of 22 years in Jan.1999 and since March 1999 was living in Ms. at my Mothers house helping her with my Dad who was very very ill. David "finally" got a job. It was OTR truckdriving and I didn't like his being out so long at a time. Neither did he. He moved to Florida in May and wants me to sell my part of the salon and moved down there too. Doesn't it seems like to you that I am always the one to have to pick up and move? Or is it just me? Those of you who know I was kicking and screaming from Georgia to Mississippi KNOW!how much I hate to move. Well as you can see form my tirade above, I didn't move and He came back home by Thanksgiving. It is wonderful to have him with me again.
my favorite Telly show:" Highlander, the series", Adrian Paul, need I say more?
The new boyfriend's name is Steve. I'll put pictures of him on later when I have any.Good thing I didn't put pics of Stevie boy on here...he turned out to be a creep and my daughter will be better off w/o him! "GOLDBERG!" This is for Amber and Jeremy-I just don't get it.
Halloween 1998 Hey I know it is the same costume as last year, but I put in ALOT of time and money making it Soooooo I made a few changes...this is me at work on Sat.
This year I did thing a bit differently I dressed up as a devil! "The devil come down to Georgia" I'll put my pics in photo point after I get moved.
