Recheck a paragraph in the middle - you have it reading that Brown directed the comment at Brown instead of Wilson.

It’s not a perfect solution, but one way to help alleviate medical debt is to increase the homestead exemption from judgements:

This last December I had a family vacation that we planned at this time last year. We had a nine day vacation and I took an extra day on each end to prep and reset and prep for being back in the office, respectively. It was the longest vacation I’d taken in my professional career.

I agree that today’s market isn’t in ‘Buy’ territory - we are overdue for a recession by about 18 months so that means it’s coming almost any day.

Officers in the WPD have bodycams and cameras in the patrol cars. There’s video of the incident and the shooting was a mistake as the victim didn’t really do anything threatening.

Let’s give the victim the benefit of the doubt here. It’s cold and dark outside. Cops pound on your door thinking that you’ve shot one person and are mentally unstable and armed. They’ve set up a sniper in case they get a chance to take a shot and end a standoff.

Here is a chart showing rolling 10 year returns when invested in the S&P 500:

There is an exemption in the tax code for the first year where you are ‘self employed’ that you don’t have to pay quarterly estimated. That’s expiring for you so you will have your 2017 taxes and your Q1 2018 Estimated due on the same day in April. It’s very quick and easy (from what I’ve researched) but you don’t…

How aggressively did you pay your quarterly estimated through the year? If you way out earned your projections then you may be paying. If not, you might be surprised.

The most uncomplicated investment vehicle that has beaten these rates over its lifespan is a simple Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund. But, the risk of losing value is always present. However, those losses are only realized if your stake is sold at a lower basis than what you purchased. If the S&P drops and you freak out…

Man - pay it off, tighten your belt, and you’ll have your emergency fund back up in time for summer. That balance is costing you money - not a lot to be sure - but you’ve got the cash and you will be whole again faster than you know.

I’m cringing a bit as well because, while this could be awesome, I’m expecting Josh Gad or Jonah Hill trying to channel Martin Mull and just having it not work. And how the hell do you replace Eileen Brennan unless it’s with Cloris Leachman but I don’t know if she’d be on board.

So, some sort of ‘poll test’ to see if I’m good enough to have an opinion? I never said I was Republican, nor did I say I support Trump. I’m not registered that way nor did I vote for or support Trump.

I don’t think that Conservative = Sexist, Racist, Ageist, etc. I’m conservative, male, and think that we need a better answer to why she was removed as well. I have no preconceived notions as to what caused them to make this decision.

I didn’t mention anything about they ‘why’ just the ‘how’. The tax raise was not put on only the top brackets, but on everyone drawing a wage. Your previous statement was that the position of one side is to lower taxes on the poor in contrast to the beliefs of the other side. Unfortunately, that is not always true.

I need to point something out in your statement - the Left does not “advocates for only cutting taxes for lower income brackets.” That may be part of the platform, but they push primarily for raising taxes on ‘the rich’.

This has bit me a few times, unfortunately. Specifically, if I had a carry-on, gate checked it, and then couldn’t make a connection (always because of delays or faults of the airline). When that happens, you cannot get your bag back. It will meet you when you get where you are going, but in my case that was after a…

If and only if your handle is a reference to The Tick.

Good luck with the pending arrival. Soak it in and celebrate it all, even the bad. Like many, we say “the days are long but the years are short” so try to truly revel in all of it, especially the challenging times.

Again, Michelle, you capture something else that has been crucial to us and raising our two boys. My folks come over at least once a week for a few hours after work to play with the boys. My MIL is over most of the day one day a week at a minimum as well as most Saturdays. My FIL is around from church on Sunday…
