    Tax Question.

    Not sure about Schedule A, however, when I was audited for 2005 and 2006, I gave the auditor $2000 dollars worth of receipts (apartment house maintenance) for 2005 and explained to her that I didn't include them that year because my rent-expenditure ratio was so low, I worried about getting...

    21st Century Buggy Whips

    When my mom died 5 years ago, I had to ship her leased, rotary wall phone back to Ma Bell or they were gonnna charge something like $200. I figure my folks paid well over $800 for that thing over the course of their lives. I can still hear the old man telling me, " If anything ever happens to...

    taxes

    Probably the easiest way is to download Withholding schedule from the feds and your state (if applicable). Fed is on the IRS site and is pretty straightforward. The next step is to get the Tax Rates for 2009. plug all your numbers in and you'll have a pretty good idea of where you stand. (If...

    Halloween

    The wife told me I was NOT to work overtime tonight and I would stay and help her give out candy and try to to keep the dogs from running out every time there was a knock at the door. We had ONE kid come to the door all night. My idiot dogs(and I) didn't hear the knock and she evidently handled...

    Major League Baseball - add-on ticketing fees

    For you lawyer types: What constitutes ticket scalping? I always heard that >5% over face value is illegal. How is different if Ticketbastards are selling them at >15% over face value if I can't ? Mike

    Where to Honeymoon?

    I say make it simple for yourselves, Marry in Vegas, Honeymoon in Vegas. I got married at a Drive Through in a rented '68 GTO Ragtop. Our "Reception" was the Buffet at the Bellagio. The whole affair including the rental was under $300 dollars. Mike

    Lad, our dog: 1996-2009

    If that's the case (I hope it is), y'all be careful when you get to Heaven. When my Rosie gets there she's liable to dig straight through. Dan, I'm very sorry for your loss, but, I'm glad you stayed with him till the end, nobody should die alone. My wife is a vet tech and it's...

    Some lowlife shot my sister's horse.

    The saving grace is that, although, maybe they won't get locked up for this, they will eventually get locked up. You can't be screwed up enough to shoot a horse without not winding up in jail at some point in your life. Then, while strutting around in jail remembering how tough they are (...

    Prison break by helo

    First reason, of course, is money. Some of the newly built joints string the bigger yards with cable, but retrofitting an old joint would be near impossible. Secondly, any cable that goes to a fence is an invitation for someone on the ground to try and climb out Finally, cable or mesh...

    Prison break by helo

    You almost have to figure that the pilot is a hostage, and you wouldn't want to disable the helo till it's on the ground. By that time, there's probably a pretty decent size crowd around the helo and a clean shot would be impossible. That, or they were asleep. Or maybe the...

    [NA]What is a "Keyed Deadbolt"?[NA]

    FWIW, In most, if not all of NY, Double keyed deadbolts are against the fire codes. My apartment house had them and the fire inspector made me change them all to keyed outside only. Mike

    What happened with Patty Wagstaff?

    You're Close. Mostly it's a boon to the insurance companies. One DUI= 6 months of no license, then 10 years of doubled rates. Not a bad deal if you can get it. Insurance companies have programs to equip police with things like alcohol sensing flashlights and to fund the roadblocks. Hell, I'd...

    Plasma? LCD?? Plasma???? LCD??????

    Bruce, I respectfully disagree with the 120hz. On the 46" Samsung I just bought, it was an extra $250. I really couldn't justify it at all. I see no "tracers" or whatever the little geeky kid called them. If I wanted 120hz, I would have settled for a 42". I say go bigger and 60hz is fine Mike

    Good Movies

    Yes, and a lot of the time when when I "hire" a new inmate porter, I tell him he's got a title now, PLO! (Permanent Latrine Orderly) None of 'em ever get it, Apparently not a movie that your average crackhead, drug dealing, murderous miscreant has ever seen. Mike
