Makes me want to hire somebody to do that at my funeral just so I can look down and laugh at all the pearl clutchers.

I’ve posted about it before, and there’s an extra layer of shitty: you can also only be in the left lane if you’re actively passing. So if someone, anyone, is going to speed limit in the right lane, driving in the left lane is now utterly illegal. It’s one of the dumbest sets of laws I’ve ever seen

Especially horrific if you are on HWY 90 driving from Lafayette to Morgan City, the right lane has been utterly destroyed by sugar cane trucks, I ride in the left lane just to preserve my suspension.

I've often said that kids brought up around and familiar with firearms and firearm safety were far less likely to accidentally kill themselves or others for the very reason you mentioned. When I was a kid I never felt like a gun was a great mystery to be explored. I was familiar with them, knew the hard and fast rules about them and also knew that if I was being curios and wanted to handle them I could just ask my dad and we would go shoot. I'm still not certain about how I feel about making that mandatory in school, but I do think that gun education should at least be available as an elective.

Thanks, just did it, the discount was there.

Not sure about that, my S Corp compliance is costing me about $2,500 a year with my CPA and is resulting in net savings with a considerably smaller amount of revenue vs what she is making. If the S Corp had a lot of employees on payroll etc, I could certainly see those cost going up, but for what is essentially a 1 person company it isn't that bad.

If she is acting as an independent contractor getting a 1099, if she has an LLC set up as an S corp the proceeds are business revenue. The “business” then pays her a salary, she can easily
Set that at say 100k a year. She will pay 15% self employment tax plus income tax on that, the remainder of the business revenue, she can then pay to herself as a corporate “dividend”. She will still have to pay income tax on that portion but not the 15% self employment tax because it’s not “regular” income so she would be saving 15% on $200,000 or $30,000

An LLC doesn’t do anything but protect your personal assets and you can’t just avoid employment taxes

fricking idiot

If you designate the tax status of the LLC as an "S" corp, you can pay yourself a "reasonable salary" on which you will pay 15% self employment tax, however you can pay yourself the rest as a dividend. You'll still have to pay income tax on it but you will save the 15% self employment tax on it. I am moving my LLC to an S corp after the first of the year because the amount of income I am now making from it justifies the extra expenses I'll have getting my CPA to handle quarterly taxes, filing reports etc.

'm 59 and have been divorced 6 years. The first 2 years were rough emotionally, but things have progressed to the point I honestly like my life better single. I don't even have an interest in dating. I don't see the point when I'm never gonna get married again. I'm financially stable and looking at retiring soon. My life is peaceful and completely drama free. There is so much freedom in being able to go where I want, when I want, and do what I want without having to consider someone else. There are rare times when I think, "It would be nice to have someone to share this moment with." but they are few and far between. When I think of the risk involved of losing all this for a bit of companionship in those rare moments of loneliness, the sane voice in me quickly reminds me of just how blessed I really am, how many lunatic women are out there, and how crazy it would be to even consider risking it. Any of you older guys feel this way?

Almost verbatim of where I’m at and how I feel (except I’ve been divorced longer). If I want to go to Belize, I go to Belize, Feel like buying a boat? I buy a boat, no discussions, compromise or getting permission. Some guys may play hard to get, I play hard to want ??

Lightening Strikes

They are still going to have liability. Lighting rods, grounding systems, lightening protection systems are a thing and should be in place. If a petrochemical plant in Louisiana can’t take a lightening strike it’s going to blow up. Not if, when.
