We were trying to get our daughters in full-day Kindergarten in WA state.  It was part of the public curriculum but you had to snag the few coveted slots.  Hence, I tented out the night before (with many other parents) in a snow storm to get two slots (out of 20) for my twin girls.  :P  But, we...

O.K., I'll begin the trend then.  :P  I must have the only three Asian kids that aren't good in math and sciences.  :'(

I don't know since my wife bought it for me but isn't there a $20 differential between Deluxe and Premium even with the rebate?  Or, is it only for Premium and higher, etc.?

That's how they keep you hooked.  :P  They give you the basic online version free and if you need anything extra, bam, you have to purchase their software. I wonder if the other tax software can read the previous year's TurboTax info into their software?

Fortunately, I haven't started my taxes yet and didn't open the box.  And, since I bought it at Costco, I should be able to return it and get Premium if needed.  I don't think I need it this year. Deluxe, I believe, always made you do the carry over type things manually, just so that you would...

Thank you. I'll have to think hard about H&R Block, even if it's their software version.  Many, many years ago, when I used to bring my tax returns to H&R Block, I had an "incident" at one of their offices and I promised myself I'll never use H&R Block again.  I rarely (extremely rare for me)...

If you have good, friendly neighbors, and you need to call WM more than 2 times, see if they're going to use their two calls.  If not, ask if they would let you use one of their calls?  Or at least buy them beer for it?  :P  We rarely call WM for large pickups. I try not to have strangers come...

I have been using TurboTax Deluxe and bought Deluxe again this year but I noticed this change for this year.  Fortunately, I didn't sell anything last year but need to keep this in mind...

Yes, same here.  I always tell my kids that they are lucky that they have shots to prevent these things.  Although it wasn't the most comfortable thing, the early memories I have of getting measles, mumps and chicken pox was the joy of being pulled out of nursery/Kindergarten classes and going...

Maybe it's really time for this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNE1Vju1ftM

True, but the perception (especially from reading too much of this board) is that Irvine is mostly rich, hence the Irvine advantage theory.    :P  Only Mr. IHO and I seem to be the only poor people living in Irvine.  :P

Contrary to popular opinion(?), is living in Irvine an advantage in getting into top colleges?  Maybe so, if your parents are rich.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-09/colleges-fill-more-seats-early-favoring-richer-u-s-students.html

Earlier, when she rejected the check, I thought she was thinking "I can't live on no stinkin' billion dollars" but I guess she changed her mind?  Should she have gone for more?  Or will she anyway?  I think with oil dropping like flies, maybe she thought her ex-spouse's company might be in...

For the financing experts, why do you get less days each time you re-lock even though it seems like you have to pay the same amount each time to re-lock?  Or does this depend on the loan?  I don't remember the details but it seemed like each time I re-locked the number of days that they would...

If that happens, other than hiring QWERTY, what can you do?  Can you undo the registration through DMV?  I would think you get a copy of their driver's license so you can track them down?  Of course, it could be fake but I would look closely at it beforehand. I personally don't think it's worth...

Don't even ask.  :(

It just shows that no matter how good you are, you have to get along with upper management.  You could be an axx but just need to make management happy as you're still just an employee.  Look at how long some of the other crap coaches have been around. 

Looks like the 49ers also gave him an incentive to get out of town/NFL by agreeing to waive his buyout of about $3 to $5 mil if he went to a college team instead of a rival NFL team, like the Raiders.  I don't think it would have come out of his pocket anyway but makes it easier on the team that...

Same here.  Fortunately, we had a lot of trash after Christmas so every bin was pretty heavy so none tipped over.  Some of the neighbors' bins fell over during the night but the street looks pretty clean this morning so WM must have taken them? We have a lot of shredded paper so if ours fell...

Although he has done a great job in the pros, I would think it would be much easier to control and deal with the college kids.  A lot of the guys in the pros are making more than the coach and they have that attitude to match.  In college, if you stray too far off the line, you're gone and all...
