I own a 2024 crew cab mid range Hilux diesel.
Paid a little over $60,000 for it.
Nice truck, not real fancy.

Since treatment of children has come up…
Long protracted divorce proceedings, one child, a girl, about seven years old.
Temporary custody agreement, dad gets Wednesday night and every other weekend.
First weekend dad picks up child from mom. Drops child off Sunday afternoon.
Next weekend for dad, picks up child from mom. Gets child to his house and discovers mom has put old raggedy clothes in suitcase for child.
Dad goes out and buys new clothes for child figuring mom made a mistake.
Pattern continues, dad brings child to mom with nice clothes, mom sends child to dad with old clothes.
Husband files motion.
Settlement reached, dad has his clothes for child, mom has her clothes for child.
When mom drops off child at dad’s, dad has to put a bag out with his clothes for child. Child has to change clothes into dad’s clothes in the back seat of dad’s car and leave moms clothes in the bag outside the car. Same situation in reverse when dad brings child home.
I wonder the mental damage that did to the poor child??

Seems most all posts are about crazy women…
Had a case where husband out of no where changes the lock on the master bedroom, won’t let wife in to get her clothes or access the master bathroom.
Wife files motion for access. Wife gets access granted to remove her belongings. Wife moves into second bedroom.
Husband then takes remote for tv in den and locks it in master bedroom.
Wife files motion for remote. Parties agree to schedule use of tv in den.
Settlement of assets is almost complete. Husband won’t agree because he will not agree unless he gets the three bicycles.
I could not figure out why that was such a big issue.
Come to find out the bicycles were women’s bicycle.
Husband was a total prick.
Yes, he got the bicycles.

Okay…last one.
In a divorce case it is common practice to determine the income and expenses of each party to determine how much alimony can be paid and to whom.
I was the go to guy for a union of airline pilots for a number of years.
Pilots get paid by the hour and the minute, not by the hour and fraction of hours. So 30.50 hours is 30 hours and fifty minutes, not 30 and a half hours.
Wife’s CPA did not know this and created these elaborate schedules of the husband’s income using the fractions not minutes.
We politely got her to calculate the total pay from the husband’s time sheets using the hourly rate times her fraction method and the minutes method to match the gross pay from the time sheets.
She finally understood her calculations were incorrect. We asked the Judge to disregard her schedules.
Wife’s attorney asked Judge to give them the weight they deserved in his consideration of the facts.
Judge politely agreed.
“I will give them the weight they deserve. The weight of a feather.”
I’m done!

A previous poster mentioned that anyone in the divorce business for 15-20 years or more had mental issues.
Whatever mental issues I had did not drive me out of the business.
What drove me out was the lying on the witness stand and by opposing attorneys.
Expert witnesses pulling crap out of thin air…spouses lying about anything and everything…attorneys lying to the Judge about facts.
Cases now longer were about reality; they became a contest of who could lie and twist the facts to best suit their case.
Last case I had we were looking for a series of about ten checks the wife wrote.
Over the course of about 18 months we requested, subpoenaed and file motions to produce those checks from everyone possible.
Wife said she had no knowledge of the checks; wife’s expert witnesses, a CPA had no knowledge of the checks; wife’s attorney had no knowledge of the checks.
Wife is called to testify.. walks by CPA who hands her some papers. Wife’s attorney has same papers from CPA.
About an hour into wife’s testimony she is testifying to questions asked by her attorney. The questions she is answering are about the missing checks on the sheets from the CPA.
We jumped out of our seats to object about the use of the checks we had been looking for over a year.
Judge is not happy. Stops proceedings for the day and orders wife’s attorney to provide answers as to why these checks magically appear.
Next morning wife’s attorney asks Judge to cancel hearings for that day…he has a settlement offer for husband.
Judge says “it better be a good one”

Weirdest experience……
Divorce is not going well for wife.
Wife commits suicide one morning.
Within two hours…wife’s parents are at my office asking for a refund of the remaining retainer paid to me.

Having been involved in hundreds of divorces over the years, I could go on for days.
The first thing I tried to tell clients is that divorce is likely the largest financial transaction of your life. Others, particularly your soon to be spouse will try to make it an emotional ordeal to gain a financial advantage. This is a business deal and you need to treat it that way.
Having said that…
Husband is client, he owns a profitable small business and works at home in the evenings. A large portion of the business records are in his home office.
He agreed to move out of the marital home while the proceedings were ongoing, but he needed his business records.
The home design was such that you walked through the front door, through the den into the kitchen with the pool visible out back of the kitchen.
Wife tells husband she has the business records for him to come pick up, front door will be unlocked.
Husband goes to house; gets most of the way through the den and sees his business records floating in the pool.
He rushes out toward the pool.
Wife is crouched down behind the kitchen cabinets; as he enters the kitchen she hits him in the knee with a steel bar shattering his knee.
Case went downhill from there.

No damage anywhere in the Caymans to speak of. Some shaking felt.

Loan and lend.
Loan is a noun and lend is a verb.
I do not loan you money, I lend you money.
You take out a loan.

I am left hand dominant by far.
Scissors just don’t work left handed. Spiral notebooks are a pain.
Using a clipboard is silly, best used by pulling the paper off the clip and sliding it around.
Most doors are right handed.
Yes, smashing your writing is a problem.
Don’t worry, he will adapt over time.

Appliance Discounts

There is a poster here that can get a poster on this board a pass to get discounted appliances.
I have searched and cannot find his information.
Will someone please pass along that information to me?
Thanks.

You really have three questions.
One, once you reach full retirement age, your earnings do not reduce your benefits.
Two, from full retirement age until, I think it is age 70, your earnings are a part of your benefits calculation. You may then get a small increase in your benefits.
Three, the Social Security taxes taken out of your paycheck are not returned to you when you file your return.
The above is from this old guy’s memory.

CPA in public accounting for 46 years, owned my own business for over 25 years, sold it three years ago, and went to part time in April 2023.
So I guess I am still not fully retired.
What little work I do now is remote.

Ragazzi in Governor’s Square, off Seven Mile Beach has excellent pizza and Italian food
Macabuca in West Bay has great Cracked Conch
Lloyd’s, also off Seven Mile Beach, has great BBQ ribs and brisket
China Village, near the airport is a good old fashioned sit down Chinese restaurant
The diving on Grand Cayman is okay, at best.
The diving on Little Cayman is excellent. Trip over is more than a day trip.
