I own a rental house. I bought the house so that friends of mine who already lived there would not have to leave when the house was sold. I only paid $50K for it and it was appraised at a little over a $100K. I have owned it for almost 3 years. I have always charged the couple the price of my mortgage payment so I have never made a profit. Now that the husband has been diagnosed with cancer, they are not able to pay the full amount so they pay about $150 less than the actual mortgage payment. TurboTax has indicated that the government may subject me to special rules about how I claim my deductions unless I can prove that I intend to make a profit. TurboTax says that the IRS may believe that I am charging a special rate because they are friends/relatives. It doesn't tell me what those rules are. I need to know what those rules are & what kind of deductions I can take. I need to know if the fact that the property value is so high is sufficient to show that I will make a profit.

So today on judge judy, a father bought his daughter a cell phone and the ex wife took it away from her. The girl called the father crying and saying the mother was being mean. The father went over to the house and the mother slammed the door in his face. The father called the cops to help him and because he himself was a cop, judge judy said that it was unjustified for him to call the cops for a cell phone.

My father (who is a cop) said that judge judy was right! HOWEVER, i feel that he was 100% justified on calling the cops there to supervise what was going on.
my reasons:
1. The ex wife could say that he hit her and he could lose his job
2. the cops have a duty to protect everyone, and they shouldnt excluse fellow cops
3. if the ex wife would not have gotten an attitude with the husband or other officers no charges would have been filed.

the part that really made me mad was the Judge Judy advised the lady to SUE the police department!!

Just curious...

For those of you who attend college, how do you get to your classes ? Do you bike, walk, drive, use the bus...?

Future students: how do you plan on getting around?

Is bringing a bike worth it?

I need a dessert that doesn't require baking and is good for kids 4-5 years old. It can be microwaved, refrigerated, or put in the freezer.

I don't mean swearing and bad names. I meant all the different negative categories they can be put in. I am looking at books and films. Here is what I have so far:

Femme Fatale
Witches
Mad or Insane
Manipulative and Scheming
Sexually Deviant ( gay or promiscuous)

Anything that people consider negative. I need categories so I can go into detail and talk about it and then give some examples in films and books.

EXAMPLE- FEMME FATALE- A beautiful woman who uses all her charm to put the hero into difficulty-BASIC INSTINCT ETC.

So i was driving home from school, and when i got home, i realized that my handbrake had been on the whole drive back!! I had forgot to turn off the handbrake.....first of all, can a car even go 60 mph with the handbrake on, cuz i did, and second, what damage may have been done? (it might be possible that i'm imagining all this and i simply pulled the handbrake when i got home but never realized that i did...but u never know)

I heard that a pirecing on a certain ear means you're gay, or something like that. Any others I should know? I don't accidentally want to get a gay piercing!

I come from a military background. I am used to figures of my family being overseas and elsewhere. I love families that are apart and still have the desire to want to be together. Military life can be very rewarding. Jim is going to be a Navy Seal. He tells me that he thinks that I deserve a man that is going to be around for things. BUT, the way I see it is this... I love him, and I want to do this, no matter what the circumstance. I am one of those women that can handle this kind of pressure and it excites me. I am very proud of him and want him to succeed. But, I also need to know what I need to do to assure him down the road that I will not cheat and that I will forever be supportive of his decisions? Do I insist? Do I lay off for a while and keep in touch and then gradually show MORE interest. He already knows how I feel and he said that he's willing to go against the odds for me... but he thinks that I will not like it. What do I do? I am going to do this, how do i?
