We were overseas for a 12 month period on a teaching exchange, rented out our home, and we're working with Turbotax, but it seems really complicated. One of us wants to just pay someone to get it done, the other of us thinks the cost would be prohibitive, CPA websites don't give even rough idea of what the cost would be...$50? $500? $5,000?

It bugs me as if there are not enough tax's we have to pay, but we get taxed on our vehicles every year.....i've never had to do this anywhere else, only in this small town....do you have to pay taxes on the cars you own in your city or state?...where does this money we pay them even go to?.... we have a mini van and a older model car and we just got our taxes on them and have to pay $156.....i just think this is crazy.

Hell 'n'-to-the-'o' to supermarkets where you can only start out as a courtesy clerk and fast food restaurants. I've had ~bad experiences~ with those type of jobs. And no to anything that requires me to do any type of physical activity outside. I am going through a medical treatment concerning my face and I am sensitive to the sun. I would REALLY like to work at a book store... but all of the ones that I've checked so far only hire at 18.

I'm done with food service and bagging groceries for ungrateful people; nope, not for me. I have no problem making drinks though.

Okay, so right now I'm studying in Animal Heath Technology. I am going to finish my program and probably work as a vet tech, but My main goal is to apply in veterinary medicine. Lately, I've been having second thoughts. My dream is still focused on saving animals, but wildlife has gotten a big interest in me. I was thinking of working as a Wildlife Rehabilitator or maybe even in Zootheraphy. Are they even in demand somewhere? Then again, my family doctor always said they'd see me with kids or as a nurse, so I was thinking of pediatricians. I don't know where I have my mind at anymore. I really want to save animals, but then again, I'm wondering if I'm not better off saving them by helping out at Shelters and giving them a new home?

I am looking at buying a 50 year old wood-construction apartment building. It looks in very good condition, but approximately how long does this kind of building last? It is a typical box style aparment building with 2 stories, and 4400 sqft and a tar and gravel roof (I know the roof needs replacing soon). It is in a city on the Ocean. The Winters are semi-cold (snow and stuff) but it's not Alaska or anything like that.

I know you can't know these things exactly, but I'm hoping for a ball park estimate. Will it last 5 more years or 50 more years?

Thanks

Long story short, I am planning to move out of my apartment to save up some money for school. I have renewed a lease back in February (deadline to renew at same rental rate) and this new lease starts September 1st, 2007. I have notified my roommates of my intent to move back in June, and have took care to find a new roommate to take over my lease.

Management at first did not say that they required it, but later on says that they need a letter of release signed by all roommates to release me from this lease and add the new renter on. One of my roommates refused to sign this letter. The only reason she offered was "I don't know this new person". I then offered to set up a meeting with the new renter and my roommate refused to meet this person twice even when new renter drove 3 hrs and showed up in person to meet her.

Also her rent check bounced and she denies responsibility for it.

Anyway we can do right now in terms of getting her signature or getting out of my lease?

Thanks!!!

Should i feel bad that this happened?
To put it short my friend and i graduated from law school. We applied to the same firm for jobs. However she is dating an older guy with connections and he got her a higher positionin the firm and i got an entry level one, i didn't begrudge her though.
However one year down the track i have been promoted several times and was at the same level as her (she never recieved a promotion) till recently when i was put above her.
She is now angry saying that i stole her promotion, i however don't feel bad for doing so, she had a whole year to prove herself and didn't advance at all.
Should i feel atleast a little guilty or not at all.
Why, Why not

i was angry at my jobs head head honcho for a stupid decision and in a moment of sleep deprived anger at 3:00 am, applied online for a job at a rival company. the next day (less then 8 hours later the other company contacted me and asked me to come for an interview that day. i did and now they want me to work for them. but it is a great distance from my home, the same pay and a lower position with no prospects for promotion. how do i get out of this without them getting mad and ratting me out to my current employer and leaving me without ether job?
i never expected them to respond to my brutally honest, unpadded and not that flattering application.

I typed up an important letter today, uploaded it to the Internet, and went to Office Max to have it printed in their print/copy dept. I was stunned when the copy dept. clerk told me she wasn't allowed to go online, even for this, and that she could get fired for doing it. A manager confirmed it and said sorry, I was out of luck. Office Max doesn't allow employees to go online because Office Max can't tell if its employees will be reading personal email or helping a customer like me with a normal piece of business in the 21st century. It just made me wonder, how many other places are so... constrained?
