if I am claimed as a dependant on his tax returns would this qualify me to be included on his medical insurance plan through work? We live in the state of West Virginia and since I am living with him and he claims me as a dependant I am not sure if I can get the state medical card--but I also don't know if I can be on his medical insurance since we are not married. We have been together for 16 years. I have always assumed that I could not be on his insurance because we are not married but since he claims me as a dependant would his health insurance treat me as a dependant also?? Or if nothing else since he claims me as a dependant would this hurt my chances of getting a medical card from the state instead of being on his insurance. Sensible answers only please---yes I know we should get married etc blah blah blah but.....I just need practical answers. Please save therapy and self help answers for some other posts! :)

I want to do more with my life than sit behind a desk and veg all day on the internet. Can I do something meaningful for people as well as travel the world to help them? Does anyone know of any careers that lead in that direction?

I started out with a Student Visa card, too easy to get, maxed it out when I needed it and paid it back over a period of a few months. The credit card company made money, that's for sure. Since I took a year off school the company changed my plan and it's due to expire. I haven't used it in a long time. I like the security and convienence of having a credit card for those just incase situations, but I live and work overseas, making it not so easy and don't claim an income. Should I go to the trouble of using my card in order to continue being able to have the card when I move back or do credit card companies usually just renew cards even if you don't use it more than once or twice a year and have like no claimable income?

It is a very high paying job and don't want to quit. It would take me a long time to find another job with comparable pay.

I started a new job about three months ago. I really like the new company, but I'm having problems with my boss. I have been working in this industry for over 10 years, and while some of the procedures are a little different at the new company, the work is basically the same as I was doing before. I feel very confident in my abilities, and I've been told that I do my job well. My boss is barely 6 months older than I am, and has just a little more experience. He spends so much time checking up on what I'm doing and reminding me about the things that need to get done (most of which I've already done!) that he often doesn't have time to do his own job! I feel that since I've been here, I've more than proven myself and shown everyone that I am competent. I'm not used to having someone constantly follow up on every little thing that I'm doing. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get him to ease up a little bit and just let me do my job? I feel like I'm being suffocated!

I was approved for a credit one bank credit card online. At the end of the application it said after your identity verification your card will be mailed to you. How do they verify my identity and when should I get the card? I tried going back on the website to check the card status and all it said was that your account or application had already been processed. Thanks.

I recently had a really good interview last week Wednesday. My potential employer told me he would personally call the manager I will be working with to make sure she sets up a time to meet with me. It is now Tuesday morning, and I have yet to hear from anyone. Should I give him an email telling him I'm still interested and please let me know if there's anything more information I can give? What is the protocol on following up? (I gave my thank you note via email, in which he responded, thanks, I will keep you posted).

Please help? I feel that I am not competent for this internship.?

I am working at this place and compared to all the other interns, I do not have as much computer experience as them. I've made a few careless mistakes that I feel terrible about. I spoke to him about it and I am trying to improve. I feel that my boss doesn't want me there. He gives me very easy jobs and doesn't take the time to teach me the more difficult things. When I first worked there, I worked on great things, now he doesn't give me big projects to work on. I feel like shhittte. He is not the kind of guy that would fire someone. I feel like I am taking up space over there. Should I ask him to give me bigger projects to work on? Have you ever had a crappy job experience?

Is it because the franchise absorbs the costs? Do they still have to pay a "rental" fee to the parent company or is it a one-time cost?

I'm new to being a landlord and I've already gotten shady renters who would trash my apartments in just a couple of months, bunk in several other people and hold out on paying their rent. A couple of them didn't even pay me security to pay for the damages.

How can I avoid getting stingy party-animals for tenants? How can I do a credit/background check? Are there any warning signs I should look for? The last tenant 'moved out' when he was arrested for stabbing a woman in the chest.
