In re your username I had to look up Sesquipedalia, but you definitely live up to loquacious.

I didn’t mean “you” specifically, apologies if it came across that way. More the general “you” of the people at large, including the author who, while not recommending it, did mention it as an option.

While I am happy it worked out for you, for those similar to me - 35, with only 2 failed attempts at sex (to the point where I would still consider myself a virgin) - you got the experience at a young age and found it wasn’t worth your time and other things made you just as happy. I think some of us just want to make…

It’s better but it’s still north Florida. I went to a barber literally across the street from campus when I was at UF and either he was trying to intimidate me (1/2 cuban, 1/2 syrian) or he thought I looked white enough that I would appreciate his bragging, but he told me about some time he and his friends hung some…

I had a friend that said BW3 and when I asked him what the third W was he had no idea, its just the name he knew and continued saying.

Every yoga video I’ve ever followed at some points has my head below by shoulders, which causes me to get dizzy and my vision to go black (which I’m used to and know how to rectify) but it just gets me frustrated and I end up stopping trying yoga.

I cant even read these comments without feeling sorry for myself and depressed.

I hope you have the AX blue cash preferred that gets you 6% back on groceries. You might actually be someone who hits their annual limit on 6% back. I dont know that I know anyone else that does.

If you’re in Miami (which if you have Presidente and Sedano’s I’m guessing you are) Milams is a decent alternative to Publix without stepping up to Whole Foods. I like Publix (worked there for 2 years), but Milams is literally 2 blocks from my house so if I really need something I just go there (I dont grocery shop…

I got my own city (Miami) as a result, and while, yes, that is pretty akin to going abroad for some people (hell I know people here who avoid sections of the city because they say it feels like another country), I specifically wanted cities outside US.

When I am talking with clients in South America or the Caribbean I say “Miami time” “Bogota time” “BVI time” etc. (some of those may be the same as Miami, but I’m never sure so I end up googling it each time anyway). I find clients are more likely to know how their time relates to ET in the US than I am to know…

I assume all of this after closing work is still paid work right? You dont clock out until the everyone is done cleaning?

This is about a year old (almost exactly, look at that) but what Rob Corddry says at about 1:25 is pretty much it.

There is a train drawbridge that runs alongside the the higher vehicle bridge (not a draw bridge). I guess you could put a crane on a rail car and run it out like that.

I was like your child. I walked across the UF stage twice in my time in Gainesville (‘05 and ‘06) and the only thing going through my head both times was “Don’t Trip, Don’t Trip, Don’t Trip...” - didn’t look for my parents, nothing, just tried not to make a fool of myself.

This is incorrect - recipients do not pay income tax on gifts received. In the six states mentioned in the article there is an inheritance tax, which only applies on receipt of an inheritance, not gifts made wile the giver is still alive. To the best of my knowledge no state charges any type of tax on the receipt of a…

Well it is $15,000 in 2018 that is tax free, but if you meant if you give away more than the tax free amount the answer is the excess above the tax free amount ($1,000 if you give $16,000 in 2018) is deducted from your lifetime exclusion amount, currently about $11,800,000 - the amount you give tax free at death. If…

While I agree with you, I think that is the main sticking point - why is transferring wealth a taxable event.

What happens to families with multiple kids when some dont want to be part of the family business? Do they borrow from a bank to buy out the kids that just want their cut? Do those kids just get left of the Will/Trust?

If your “small” farm does grow as you hope it does so that you have to worry about the estate tax, you should be able to work into the budget the cost of speaking with an attorney to determine the best ways to begin the process of sheltering as much of the value as possible. Honestly, gifting away interests in a…
