How do you only oil 3 times a year? I have to oil at least once a week. Also, my comments keep getting auto deleted? Did I say something I shouldn’t have?

My wood cutting boards soak up oil like crazy, I need to oil it after every time I wash it. Any tricks to remove odors? I tried everything mentioned here, as well as soaking in hydrogen peroxide. That is the only thing that works, and then my board is super dried out afterwards and needs to be-oiled after every use. I…

Some of this advice might be good for some types of wood cutting boards, but my Boos block I found needs a ton of oil applications to keep it from drying out. If I use it to cut anything other than dry materials or vegetables I always want to scrub it with soap and water to clean it. This strips the surface coating of…

THIS is exactly why I love my new job. I get 18 days vacation, and when I work overtime, I get extra time off for every hour I work after hours. Which is great in the land of IT, where we tend to do a lot of maintenance during off hours. My last job I worked at for a year, I was -15 hours of PTO. That is a NEGATIVE…

I’ve worked at places like that in the past. A lot of the employees just tried to “look busy” just to make it seem that they were being productive. I know they were doing their job the right way, analyzing problems, etc. But managers had a different view of things. Mostly because they had no idea how we solved…

Oh I’m not saying that working more hours and earning more has no benefit, because clearly my paycheck will be more when I work those over time hours, but whenever I see that paycheck it always seems like it should have and could have been much higher than what it was after it was deposited into my account. Maybe it…

For the record, I really liked Bernie Sanders’ tax plan before Hillary was nominated. Like I said, I don’t mind paying taxes, but I want to actually see a BENEFIT to paying those taxes. Right now in my state, I feel like all those tax dollars are completely wasted.

It was just the example that I used. My point being, if you had a job where you worked hard, and long hours wouldn’t you want to feel like you actually “earned” that money? As much of it as possible? If a company wants to pay you $50k, and you only take home 15-20% of that, then doesn’t that make you feel like you are…

From the way you described it I should probably A: talk to HR about the amount I’m being taxed, because it seems ridiculously high as it is, and B: I need to find an actual legit accountant to do my taxes, because I’m most definitely paying way more than what your example tax brackets might suggest. I just did some…

To your point of being taxed at 50% for making 250k. Lets say you worked very hard, lots of over time, lots of time away from family just to earn that 250k. Now you get 50% taken away. You are down to 125k earning. Or put it in terms that people like myself can actually understand, lets say I make 50k, cut that in…

Oh I’m not totally against paying taxes, it is a necessity and a part of life. I just think we are already taxed too much for EVERYTHING. Not just counting my income tax here, but state income tax, 7% sales tax on everything I buy, taxes added onto the cost of gas, property taxes, vehicle registration fees goes…

Maybe I just need to get a better guy who does my taxes, but when I was only making $12 an hour, barely making my rent and car payment I would see over $3,000 tax return for many years. Once I got a better job and started making more money, that is when my tax returns stopped and I actually OWED several hundred…

Except when it is a sole proprietorship, partnership, or other similar LLC in which the company is not incorporated. In those instances the owner is very much personally involved with the company financially.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I am all for lower taxes. I am not rich, and I don’t make a ton of money, but I just looked at my final pay statement of 2016 and lets just say that I had a little over 23% of my gross income deducted for taxes. That is an INSANE amount of taxes. On top of that, I pay property…

“Because he is a filthy misogynist AND an idiot”

My wife calls me the “random fact guy” because I sit here and read this website and others like it all day, I learn the most random things. I think there is some truth to this!

Okay, why do all my comments keep getting deleted on here, I used to be an approved commentor.

I just saw you guys has this same promo posted a few months ago. I signed up as a new Audible member, but never got the credit last time. Looks like I can’t do it again though.
