GM's thread about nothing (15 Viewers)

Some bragging: On "our" peak day this holiday season, an average of 160 orders were placed every second. Despite that mind staggering volume, on Dec. 23rd, "we " rented a Cessna to fly 273 late sorting free shipping packages from Kentucky to North Carolina because we had promised they would arrive by Christmas.That's customer service.

Who messed up initially to require the renting of the Cessna?

God.It was a weather related late.

Not much of a ruins guy, but I love the cenotes. There is one near Tulum that starts with an X that we really loved (forget the name), it was literally perfect water to swim in.
xcaret? the amusement park type deal?
Xcaret! That's it. Beautiful. Perfectly cool and clear water. There are some fish way below and some bats way overhead, but they show no interest in the swimmers.
pretty sure Xcaret is not it. it's an amusement park deal with fake "ruins" and "caverns" with a fake "river" (clear and cool and perfect it ain't) you float on while rubbing elbows with the shiniest, brightest of the US elite. Swim with the dolphins!But there are tons of cenotes that sound like what you're describing- and I bet a knowledgable FFAer will know some cool ones to visit.
We hit xcaret last year, not going back. Thought it was a bit lame.
 
Our next door neighbor put out a trash can full of dead brush and what looks to be rotted wood from a treehouse or something. As I've mentioned before, we have it in mind not to turn on our heat this winter, and this wood looks like it'd burn well in our fireplace.

Putting something on the street is fair game, right? Should I feel like a degenerate if I walk over, wheel the trash can to my backyard, dump the wood and return it?

 
tonight is the first night i've spent in my house with the wife out of town, since we've moved into this house. so how do i spend it? being in bed by 630, and hoping i can stay awake for the end of the Saints game.

Hi. I'm a couple bourbons deep, am eating a steak, watching MNF, am up 65 points in my FF leeg championship (big money, of course), spent the day hanging out with my dad and cleaning my garage, and the (wonderful) wife's gone 'til 9:30.

Life's awesome. How are you all?

Hey friend,Early night here. Spent the day traveling yesterday and got back into the swing of things today. Yesterday I spent the day in the passenger seat of the car, directing my BF when to pull over to let me "tinkle" (read: vomit) because I had been up drinking what I presume to be really, really crappy wine the night before. Nice 9 hour drive home.It's always interesting when you're two days out from that kind of hangover. Today was a new day in a new world. Got a lot done, stole some wood from my neighbors' trash and had a nice dinner with my man. Hope things are great for you, sounds like they are. :(

You shouldn't burn treated wood in your fireplace, I don't think. You can get arsenic poisoning, but I think it would take a lot of exposure. I heard a story about a carpenter who kept burning that stuff in the house, exposing his whole family, but I also think they were cooking over it as well, but the whole family had arsenic poisoning and the police originally thought it was an attempted homicide investigation.
 
I miss Homer.Also, Running with Scissors.Also, and oddly, moonhead.
Homer is gone?I'm not here much, but Moonhead's still around. Log on IM and I'll tell you what his alias is.Edit: At least, what one of his aliai was back when I paid too much attention

I doubt you're in danger, but I don't think it's a good idea to make this a habit or even to do it again. Pine isn't a good burning wood to begin with anyway.
 
Jeep: I know it may seem like you didn't receive much of an XMas present, but ultimately you did

You should never sign a note as an individual if the debt is owned by a corp

At the end of the day there are no such things as "everyone knows" or "everyone agrees" about the bull####-ness of a situation

At the end of the day it's your name on that note

So now you are liable for 1/2 as much as you would have been

And especially for someone who wants to sell a house, buy some land and move, that could be a huge thing

Actually, I only 2/3rds read his post but I think I got what he was saying. Jeep, I may eventually be in the same boat as you; what I'd like to know is how you'll handle this, tax-wise. What is your tax-structure in terms of your ownership with the company? Are you a member of an LLC? How is it taxed. etc.?

I'm still trying to figure out how to accept a Christmas present I was given. A couple of years ago, I borrowed some money from a family member. I sold some property to pay off part of that loan which was supposed to be all of the loan I was supposed to be responsible for. There was some left over which was to be covered by our company, where I'm Vice President and basically a shareholder. Things progressed over the past couple of years to where we felt the need to put things in writing and while I signed a note signifying that debt to be my own, even as I signed it, we made it clear that all parties involved knew it wasn't my personal debt. So, yesterday morning as a Christmas present, the person holding said note signed off a large chunk of that debt to me. On the one hand, I should probably consider this the best Christmas present I've ever received, but on the other hand, I'm left thinking, "I didn't owe you that money anyway." Technically, I basically got nothing for Christmas, which is fine considering we've been hurting the past couple of years and we knew this Christmas would be tight, but now I'm left feeling like I need to gush over this gift. I failed a bit yesterday in my reaction and while I still have mixed emotions about it, I plan to make sure the person who granted me said gift will be made fully aware of my appreciation even though I'm a little annoyed by the whole thing.I don't know if any of this makes sense, but it feels better expressing it. In the end, if I knew the "loan holder" recognized that the fact I was stuck with my name on the note was bull**** and they were writing off a large chunk of it to acknowledge that fact, I would be far more appreciative. It's just that I don't have any prior experience to think that is the case. Yes, I feel like an ##### for even thinking about things this way.
Any way you could make this a little more confusing for me?

I would second this - do not burn the treehouse wood if you think it was treated. If you already have, be careful cleaning out the fireplace. It's not really the smoke but the high concentrations of arsenic in the ashes after you burn.

If anything, the confusion is based on me beating around the bush and not explaining the situation well. Your thoughts do make sense, but this isn't really it.

There was a loan from a 3rd party to JeepSome of it was supposed to be paid back by Jeep and some of it was supposed to be repaid by the company where Jeep is VP and shareholder

Jeep repaid the part of the loan that he was responsible for

But then Jeep signed a note taking the balance on as his personal debt, rather than a corporate debt

The debtee signed off a large chunk of the debt as an XMas present

Jeep feels like this wasn't his present as much as the corp's present

But as it is ultimately his name on the note and not the corp's, I think he should consider himself kucky

I just wonder what he expected to get from this particular person that he feels sort of gypped by this gift. That's an awesome gift. One less thing to worry about if the company goes under and you lose your job.

This is good information. I thought I was being the best GF ever by dumping this wood in our backyard... turns out I might have killed us. We seem to be fine now, but I'll make sure my BF is aware when he cleans out the fireplace tomorrow.

We'll break it down in chat. I was never in danger of writing a check for that debt, which is why I went through the charade of signing the note. Now it's coming back to bite me in the ### because it was written off as a gift.
