My brother was watching my dog in Detroit, about an hour from our home, and he ran away. So he was in a city foreign to him...He was gone for NINE days. He crossed the highway TWICE. It cost $400 between trips there looking for him, newspaper ads, robocalls and flyering. We went to soooo many shelters. He kept getting…

It’d take quite a job to convince me to leave freelancing. QUITE a job.

Bunnies are the least smelly of crated animals. Guinea pigs, hamsters, etc— they all seem to smell much quicker than bunnies. And if your bunny cage is smelling up your house, you’re not doing it right. Get off your arse and clean it, often.

I think only vacationing with your love every two years is sad. We get away on a full out vacation at least twice a year.

I wonder how this accounts for differences in individual state laws? IE it’s SIMPLE and easy to do some of these in Michigan, where I am, but I wouldn’t recommend them for other states (at least for micro-businesses like my own).

I hereby endorse the idea of gender-specific restrooms on planes. At the same time, I don't mean to make any of the trans community more…

can you somehow separate the space from the guest part? It doesn't have to be a permanent, walled separation. then you just count ONLY THAT square footage. seriously. I've researched the crap out of this & my husband is an accountant who has been my (home) business partner for 10 years.

what you need to know about taxes when you're self employed:

Also, your workspace doesn't have be a separate room but does need to be "separately identifiable"—a distinct area used just for work. If you work with your laptop on the dining room table, that won't cut it. (Protip: Take photos of your workspace or office in case of an audit.)

Bitchy story: Chicago Ohare has some kind of quicker line with machines versus people for citizen/residents.

There's some kind of rules similar to ^ but I THINK it's a large $$ amount (and I think that because I've never reached it).
