I'm considering a sale of a rental property and we are in line for a massive captial gain tax bill becuase we are mostly poor morons who don't understand finance and mistakes were made. We are aware that we can do a 1031 exchange where you buy like properties of equal or greather value in order...

On Saturday I took my wife's van in to the dealership for normal service and state inspection. As you would expect, they call me an hour later and tell me that the brake pads are worn and the rotors need cleaning. They suggest fixing both of those things and draining and replacing all brake...

I work at a small luxury fashion firm that has about 30 employees.  Our most important sales peson is a lovely woman in her early 60s who is gifted with clients and one of the most generous humans I've ever met.  She is also a hoarder.  She's not keeping gross stuff like food or garbage but her...

I have one of those online accounts but I don't know anyone who can send me a test.  

Hi tried to find the master thread but couldn’t find it. Do we want to bump it or have a special one off?  I need inspiration. 

Since I’ve been commuting by car 122 miles round trip during the pandemic, my mind wanders.  If you’re on cruise control and you’re descending a hill, the control slows your car. Do your brake lights come on??  

We had a fire in my work building yesterday and they evacuated the entire high rise while I was downstairs trying to figure out what was going on.  Once everyone was out, I scrambled trying to connect with all of my employees to keep them in the loop. I tried to set up a group text and realize...

I finally qualify for the 401k at my new company.  Based on initial research all of these funds have performed well over the last several years (Shocker). Nine years ago (!) I posted a now archived thread with the funds at my old company and got some good feedback and reasoning from the FBG...

I just had Fios installed with the phone option. My house is wired Cat 6 and I'm trying to get he phone from the ONT in the basement to one of the jacks upstairs. For internet I go through a switch but I can't get dial tone through the switch with the phone. The installer thought this would work...

The woman who sits outside my office came in with a cold today.  She's coughing up a storm and sounds miserable.  The receptionist who sits next to her offers her a cough drop.  "Oh yes, thank you, thank you. That would be great." She takes the cough drop, pops it in her mouth and crunches it up...

So I had a handyman do some work to finish my basement and we added a few outlets.  The whole job was basically a junk show so I didn't realize until last night that where I had asked for a quad outlet he put in a duplex.  However, when I was attaching the face plate last night, it sparked and...

I'm visiting my parents and come to find out my mom has been using Geek Techs for computer support after her computer was emitting a high pitched squeal and then a pop up led her to Geek Techs. They log in once a month to do maintenance. My BS meter is emitting a high pitched squeal.  Anyone...

Like getting something out of your left pocket with your right hand? It's ridiculous I end up having to do this so often. And how stupid I look trying to do it.

I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with your kids and biting. My 2.5 year old has a long history of biting. We live in the city so the number one activity for him outside of the house is the playground and they are all super crowded. There are a lot of opportunities for pushing at...

Some of you may recall I've had a few failed attempts at landing a Brooklyn townhouse over the years. I've always wanted a fixer upper and a yard in the city and now after 15 years of paying New York rents we are finally about to land our very own #### hole in Bed Stuy. It's a two family, four...

Is there a thread yet? Looks like a lot better eye candy this time around. And Cliff Robinson! I wonder if he can swim.

I've been hearing some good things about Left 4 Dead releasing later this year on Steam. It's a multi player PC game where you fight zombies at night, and then during the day you roam the town looking for supplies and strengthening your defenses. It sound great. We need to get the FFA group...
