I checked with the manager of the nearest Verizon store. She told me this is an "agent phone". Best Buy leases thousands of these for use in their stores and by their employees. They have a...
"In part by employers"? It's actually "mostly by employers". Under the current payroll tax holiday (2011 & 2012) employers pay about 60% of payroll taxes while employees pay about 40%.
I bought a wholesale lot of returned items from a major national electronics retailer, and among the stuff was a Verizon cell phone that is still active. I can make calls, receive calls, surf the...
Hey everybody! :wavey:
Let's see, since I joined GotApex...
- I've had four children and one grandchild
- I've had two kids get married
- I've had three kids graduate high school and one graduate college
- I've had...
Liquid candy bar.
That's what I tell myself if I feel like a pop.
Chemical cocktail.
That's what I tell myself if I feel like a diet pop.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When I...
I'll be in Vegas, but not until April 11th-14th. Got a Microsoft conference at the Manadalay Bay. I have an open day, so I'll probably check out the National Association of Broadcasters convention...
Between weddings and grandkids, we're going to see it start to increase exponentially in the not-too-distant future!
I just wanted to comment on this, as it applies to anything you deduct. There is *NOTHING* you can receive (receipt, voucher, contract, etc) that can be used to prevent an audit. You do not provide...
Facebook killed forums for me. I have only so many minutes per day to spend online, and other activities have taken me away. I also missed my 10th anniversary here without a whisper. Wow, 10 years...
Hmmm... we're the number one turkey producing county in the USA. That's about it.
My wife's parents had their house torn up by a tornado last week. They were in the only part of the house that wasn't completely destroyed and they did not get a scratch.
They're actually very...

As with a lot of old sayings, it has changed over the years. The 14th century equivalent was the more appropriate "heels over head", as in a cartwheel or somersault.
I'm forwarding it to all my fellow home schoolers that can take a joke - which is about 25% of them! :)
It was binding arbitration. No appeals. I was not there mainly because I had nothing to add to the case. It was my son's truck, he was the driver, I was 150 miles away. The only reason I'm on the...
I just got the word from my lawyer (actually my insurance company's lawyer) that the plaintiff was awarded $150,000. The limits of my liability coverage was $50k. So it's possible I'll be on the...
I stopped at Wal-Mart last night - they still had a couple of the 42" Emerson "Door Buster" HDTVs from BF for the same price: $448. I see why, that thing had the worst specs.
I got a letter like that - a newspaper clipping with what looked like a hand-written note. Fortunately my wife didn't give it two seconds of thought.
But I know what you're talking about when you...
A) Google.com - I found it once, you can find it too.
B) & C) both are considered in the equation.
I'll believe recycling makes economic sense when someone knocks on my door and asks to buy my...
Open a command prompt and type "tracert google.com<ENTER>" If any of those computers is down or slow, you will have problems with google. Sometimes it's amazing that the internets works at all.
I do my part for the environment by not recycling paper, glass, or plastic. All curb-side consumer recycling of those materials consumes far more energy and resources than simply disposing and...
Good one - I'd have done that too. I hate "dead space" in the garbage. My wife thinks it's funny when I throw away a jar, I always have to "pack it" with other garbage. It's all about efficiency,...
I agree - our Dyson vacuum is great. Easily the best we've owned in 25 years of vacuum ownership.
I always say "no" to extended warranties. Instead, set up a car repair account. I put about $85 per paycheck into this account and pay all of my repairs out of it.
The odds are overwhelming that...
