Thank you for confirming that I was right and you don’t know the difference between the terms you are throwing around. It’s a good thing you use that accountant.

Good to see you too!

If someone is actually paying an effective tax rate of 30% they are likely massively overpaying and not taking any of their legal deductions.

Well, maybe, but if someone has to add a bunch of other things to get a an effective federal tax rate of 30% than ... you know, their federal tax rate still isn’t 3o% and they’re either confused or being dishonest.

Well, as I noted, your accountant is probably fine. It’s more likely you don’t know the difference between the effective rate and your tax bracket. But whatever.

Also, that “I’ll sit out before I vote for X” happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR in both parties. Seriously. And yes, some cranks actually mean it, but 95% of people who were actually intending to vote WILL vote for someone who is similar to, if not nearly as perfect, as their preferred candidate.

That’s not an extreme effective tax rate. We’ve been in that range for quite some time — mortgage deduction, property taxes and a city wage tax is all it takes.

If you pay an effective tax rate of 30% you need to fire your accountant. Or, more likely you aren’t calculating it correctly here.

In all seriousness, I am a Sanders supporter, but will gladly vote for Clinton when she likely gets the nod. I’ve been attacked by my leftie friends on both sides for not being supportive enough.

Dove bars are good and cheap. Or, if you want even gentler, Cetaphil (it looks more like a lotion, but it’s a cleanser). You can even use Cetaphil without water.

What the hell are you doing on the subway that gets you that dirty? A little hand sanitizer and watching where you step/sit should take care of the subway contamination you seem to fear.

I use it LoseIt, not MFP, but in LoseIt you can sync your Fitbit, and it also gives you an option to include or not include burned calories in your calorie counts. I would think/hope most major apps have similar options.

So, in all seriousness, I work from home and have a not-quite-two-year-old, so I don’t get daily showers. Except for days I run or when the weather is really hot, I don’t get pungent nearly as quickly as I would’ve thought prior to this. (When I worked in an office I was a daily shower person.)

So, I just went through all those steps to discover that they have no information for Philly (you know, just the 5th largest metro in the country) nor did they have any data for my field (or anything even remotely close to it) for OTHER cities.

A lot of the problem is that people do not realize what is and isn’t public on Facebook. I know people who have their posts set to “friends only” for this very reason, but don’t realize that this means some of the only information available from their FB page to the general public is the 50 profile shots (which are…

Honestly, the saddest part to me was the fact that I had 32 (yes, I counted) emails in my inbox this morning that started with some variation of “No joke/not kidding here’s your 20% off coupon!”

I actually winced when I read it. It’s beautiful.

What’s great about this, is that it’s probably the only joke you can get away with repeating...

This is your stupidest comment yet. Congrats?

Oh, I read all of your posts. I’m sure you do not think you are sexist. But you are. Clearly. You’re just the polite kind that thinks it’s OK to let us out of the kitchen as long as we know our place in the wider world.
