    Appears The IRS Wants To Go After Tips for Waiters/Waitresses

    FWIW waiters at high end restaurants can easily make over 100 k. Wait staff has always been required to report tips to the restaurant for payroll purposes. Whether they are honest or not is another thing. If they don't, then the restaurant allocates a percentage of sales.

    Anyone Know More About this Police Interaction?

    While I agree with (as Curtis Sliva would say) sometimes a wooden shampoo is warrented. We called it mag-light therapy. In this day and age you need to be more restrained. Every arrest can lead to riots and officers no longer get the support of their superiors or even the public. The beat...

    Many homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages with the housing downturn

    I think this is brilliant if done properly and without excessive greed. I like a house listed for 400k. Others send in offers in the high 200's ie 275. If the seller actively considers it then I come in at 300k to 325 and get the house.

    Many homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages with the housing downturn

    The problem was that this was a corner lot with all the free land on the side of the property, bordered by roads. Trying to relax at the pool would have been hard with traffic noise.

    2 houses we were tracking in Eastern Tenn. just sold. One started out ,4 months ago at 475k. Dropped 25k 3 times to 400k. It just got sold for $360,000. Except for the fact the land didn't allow for a pool it was perfect for us. However, A pool is a must for my wife's back. The other place...

    Priorities? (prepping and what to buy next?)

    Question, i have a 300w battery and most come with a 60W solar panel. Mine did not. Should i just buy a 60w panel or would a 100watt panel be more efficient?

    Judge rules Walmart, Target, and CVS to pay millions to two counties for their role in the opioid epidemic there

    I know people with legal scrips for Methadone for pain. More and more pharmacy's are refusing to fill it. The state calls the pharmacies and tells them they have to provide counselling on alternative pain control. This should be between the MD and the patient, not the state and the...

    Used Car Repossession Rates Double for Both Sub-Prime and Prime Borrowers, Indicates Trouble on Main Street

    I never mention financing until price is set. Same with trade in. Also, as @Saltwater60 said, sometimes its good to take longer term. I taught my son that when he was refinancing his student loans. He wanted a 5 year term and I told him to take 10. 2 months later his car engine cost him...

    Lonsberry: LEE ZELDIN LOST THE ROOM

    You have to look at electability. Sure a very very conservative candidate is the choice for most of us but they would never win over any libs or moderates. A more moderate conservative who has won numerous elections in a democratic district has the best chance to win statewide. The goal is to...
