Thanks for the responses. It really helps. It makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone, sorry to say. Although I did call the corporate office today and spoke to Lena; Don the owner wasn't in.  I informed her of the fact that the word of their no-pay status is getting around and that, this would only hurt them more. She said they were experiencing hard times right now. She was very pleasant and said they would send out a check next week. We'll see. I'll let you know.......... It's a very good point about returning calls. I wouldn't have gotten so upset, if I didn't feel like I was being avoided.
