This is the first year that my security deposit for my appartment has started to earn interest (it is entirely managed by the rental company). I am totally frustrated with how this is turning out.

So for $850, I earned $11.34 interest (horrible rate, but that's not the point). Out of which an "agent admin fee" of 1% = 8.50 was deducted, and I was cut a check of $2.84.

The really bad news however is that they issued me a 1099-INT for $11.34 interest income, of which I owe 33% tax, which is more than the entire check I got. So my question is: is this 1% agent admin fee deductable at all with standard deduction? We do not itemize and will certainly not start itemizing just because of this.

It is just really frustrating that I end up paying money for this supposed "interest income"!

Many thanks!

Then why did he treat her like annoying puppy with a schoolgirl crush and nothing better to do but follow him around everywhere in the first film? The 2nd picks up immediately where the first left off so there's no time for a gap unless it happened offscreen while everything else was going on?

I feel stupid when it comes to technical things. Truly understanding science. Relating science to everyday life. Math is okay, English great, philosophy and all that crap fine. So it is not ALL logic, but many logical things I do not grasp. I can't put little pieces together to make a big whole. It would take me longer than average to learn how to change my own oil, for instance, or learn how to assemble a boudoir. I would slow it down by wanting to know every little detail, and what if this happens, and why can't....I could learn it and be as competent as average, it just takes longer. And some things, I fear, I just could not grasp.
Sometimes I feel so incredibly stupid in certain areas. Please don't tell me this is because I am a female, because I know plenty of women that are engineers and very practical people. And I know some men that are brilliant academics but could not run a printing press very well.

My fiance just turned 21 and for his birthday his friends decided to take him out and get him smashed. I wasn't upset with this but later it turns out that they took him to a strip club and paid for a lap dance and everything!!! I've a very insecure person so this completly freaked me out. I told him that I wanted him to promise that it would never happen again and at first he said that he couldn't because he had no control what happened because he drank way too much! He also told me that he kept blacking out so he doesn't even remember the dance really, just bits and pieces, I'm scared that I won't be able to trust him anymore.. and more so that if he blacked out who's to say that more didn't happen? Or worse that in the future more will happen!! How should I handle this? and am I wrong for worrying?

Tonight I was watching some show and there was an older white female comedian on there and she was sort of racist and perverted. Can anyone help me out with her name?

Look at some other players. They are persisted with till they succeed. Whereas, Mohd. Kaif, who is the best fielder in the team & raises the on-field performance of the entire team by a few notches just with his presence, is sacked even if his previous performance has been brilliant, just to give way to some other player. How long will this blatantly unfair attitude of the BCCI continue & is this how we prepare our boys for the world cup?

Do you feel the rating system is effective?

The MPAA takes the stance that the system is intended to help parent make informed decisions. Do you think it works to that extent?

Who do you feel should have the main responsibility for policing what content kids are exposed to?

I manage a movie theatre and try to diligently enforce the ratings everyday. But I get so frustrated when I see parents taking very young children to graphic/violent movies. In 90%+ of the cases, I have no ability to influence their choice once they show up at the theatre.

I don't like religion either. I believe in God but I don't think tat he gets involved here. That makes me a deist. Ever since I was a small child, I have known that my soul has lived other lives. OK, I know I just lost some of you with that little revelation.

So what is a philosophy? I try to live my life honorably. I am a single Mom raising a 14 year old boy. I want him to grow up to be a good man who has a mind of his own.. I seek knowledge and I encourage my son to do the same.

I was doing the usual security checks for the night, windows, etc, (just before I go to bed) and I noticed a dark car parked outside my house (this is the 2nd time I've seen it). On this occasion only, however, I decided to stand and see how long he was planning on parking there. Within seconds, another car came alongside and the driver got out, rushed to this car parked outside my driveway and took a white packet from him and drove off! Should I report this to the police?

I was asking my husband of 15 years some questions about his x-wife and other girlfriends that he had before he met me. I know it was a long time ago but he told me some things that are now making me feel uncomfortable when I think about it. Now I regret asking, how do I get rid of my anxiety, I keep imagining "them" together and it really bothers me, as if he cheated on me of something. He told me he would never do that to me or our son and I believe him but I still can feel relaxed.
