What if you don't meet the minimum order amount?
If you are doing it evenings/weekends only, do you make very much?
Good and bad points welcome!

I have been working for the Social Security Administration for 20 years. Last year I was deployed to FEMA as CommunityRelations Specialist. I enjoyed this work so much I decided to apply for a permanant position. Well, I have been called for a job interview. I have not had a job interview in 20 years! I am a little anxious about it. Can anybody give me some good advice on what type of questions to expect, what the best replies may be and the do's and don'ts.

I want to get my earnest money back, and I want ALL OF IT !! I made an offer on a house with the intentions of living in it not rehabbing it. The offer was accepted, and we had the home inspected. There are a lot of things wrong with the house. It costs more money to repair these things than I can afford, and besides I'd rather buy something worth the money I would have to spend, rrather than put money into the house for major things. The house needs new windows, tuckpointing all around and a new roof. Here is a letter I wrote to the seller, tell me what u think. HELP !!!!


All these problems need to be remedied before this transaction can go any further. If the issues are not addressed we will continue on our search for a home.



FURNACE

The furnace/central air needs to be properly and completely installed and functioning. The furnace needs a shut off valve, and a plastic exhaust pipe. Debris in the "clean out" area at the base of the chimney should be removed as part of system service.



PLUMBING

The old steel piping is subject to corrosion on the interior of the pipe. As corrosion builds up, the inside diameter of the pipe becomes constricted, resulting in a loss of water pressure. This piping is typically replaced when the loss of pressure can no longer be tolerated.



ELECTRICAL

Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring. This wiring should be removed through out the house. Poor connections between newer wiring and the old-knob-and-tube wiring were observed. All connections of this type should be performed within junction boxes, fitted with cover plates.

The installation of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required in the kitchen and bathroom. GFCI offers increased protection from shock or electrocution.



STRUCTURE

Evidence of termite damage was observed and there is risk of additional hidden damage since termites can do a substantial amount of damage. If the property hasn't already been treated, a licensed pest control specialist should be engaged to eliminate further termite activity within the home. All damaged wood should be repaired or replaced.



ROOFING

The downspout should discharge water at least 5 feet from the house. Storm water should be encouraged to flow away from the building at the point of discharged. Install downspout at left rear section of house.



Stairs leading to basement need hand rails. Drop ceiling in same area needs to be repaired.

The fireplace needs a damper.

All appliances must stay.

I have asked a similar question yesterday but now have all the facts from my friend.
"I worked for a small company in A/C Engineering which was taken over 2 years ago. At the time of the takeover our employment contracts were honoured fully under an employment protection act. I believe this was a TUPE Agreement.
My employer now 2 years later has told us our present contract has now expired under TUPE and we need to sign new contracts.
My original contract is a permanent contract.
The new contract we have been issued reduces holiday from 25 days to 20 days, reduce sick pay from 6months full pay to 10 days SSP only, reduces overtime to basic rate of pay.
Do i have to agree to this kind of contract change?"

We would be very grateful for any advice offered .

Hi. The situation is as follows: A Florida LLC with two "owners" a US citizen and a non US citizen. The US citizen is living in the US, the non US citizen is living abroad. The LLC conducts business that is both connected to the US and not connected to the US.

What is the tax treatment of the non-US citizen regarding LLC's distributions? Can he be a salaried employee?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

About two years ago my dad signed the house we've lived in sence 1986. We signed a bunch of papers and I bought it for $10.

So in the deed/contract it says that I purchased the house from (my dad's name) for the sum of $10.

But at the bottom where I signed it it says (my Dad's name) in LE of Martha M.

Can anyone tell me what In LE means?

When my dad owned the house because of his age and disability he didn't have to pay land taxes. And it sadi that since he still lives there we don't have to pay land taxes.

I was wondering Do I actually own the house or not?

He isn't offering any of it to me so why should i be happy about it looks to me like i am going to lose from it.

I asked this yesterday:
How can you compare the calculated PV in light of the fact that the undiscounted cash flow totals $150,000 in each case?????

15%
Cash Flow Stream
year a b
1 .... 50,000 ....10,000
2 .....40,000 .... 20,000
3 .... 30,000..... 30,000
4 .... 20,000 .... 40,000
5 .....10,000 .... 50,000

..150,000 ..150,000 totals

For "A" using financial tables total NPV is $109,856.33 and using Excel an function the total NPV is $109,856.33

For "B" using financial tables total NPV is $91,290.00 and using Excel an function the total NPV is $91,272.98

Here is the answer I got:
You compare $109.9K vs $91.3K. Given the choice you would select Option A as this yields the higher result, reflecting the fact that you have a higher amount of $$ in the early period of the cash flow stream.

The question remains: why the same totals but different NPV

They have come from the U.K., and all from different people and none so far asking for any up front fees or bank details.One however tonight has, she claims to be on deathbed and has husbands money of some $20mill+ that she wants to transfer to my account for sick kids and the disadvantaged for me to distribute for her when she passes. My question where do you send these scams for somebody to deal with? Is there an Aussie consumer affairs site or something you can send these e-mails to for them to checkout? Many thanx, and have good night all.
