  • My wife is about to have our baby! The question I have is what should I expect the six or so weeks after? ?

    The stories I get sound like she will be bed ridden, I don't know if my wife exaggerates what is typical for women after birth or if I need to plan to take paternity leave for six weeks. Not certain what to expect. And though I know I would enjoy the time off to experience life as a new family, I have financial concerns taking so much leave. I am the sole income for the household.

  • Can I get out of a lien for a car that is obviously unsafe to be driven?

    My girlfriend purchased a junker of a car from a local used car dealer before I met her. She has had the car for a year, and when she bought it the head lights would intermittently work as wel as the dash lights. She complained of a beeping noise which after I googled it, turns out to indicate airbag troubles. After I car faxed the car, we found out it was in an accident where airbags were deployed. She took it back to the dealer to fix the beeping which was noted on a promise to repair slip in her paperwork. They never were able to fix it. An independent mechanic told her the car had major electrical problems and he recommended her to go to an electrical specialist. The car is a junker that is not safe to drive at night. I met her a little too late to advise her not to buy this car. But it is not salvageable. If I can't help her get out of the loan. I will have her do a voluntary repo and get a new car for her. This one should not be on the road in its condition. I thought vehicles from dealerships had to be in safe working order to be sold. The headlights aren't even bolted in for crying out loud.

  • are the employer tax of payroll taxes considered a deductable expense from gross income?

    I am filing a 1120-s for my first year of business, I have gone to H&R Block to have them file for me, but the person I spoke with seamed more in the dark than I was. So instead of paying them to fill in the blanks of their computer program, I bought the software and plan on doing it myself. After reading the line about taxes, I am not sure if employer taxes are in the same category as income taxes or not. If I can write it off, it will make the difference between owing and a refund.

  • is bill o'reilly done?

    bill o'reilly, the model for the steve cohbur report parody, attempts to justify his comments tonite on the micheal devlin case, by going on the colburt report and by bringing up the radio station contest for consumption of water ultimately leading to the drowning of a young woman. these tactics to stray the views of the public away from his harsh statements, do they indicate a back pedalling that shows weakness therefore an end to the bill o'reilly factor, or do you think any publicity is good publicity. and for those who are unaware, in the micheal devlin case, he stated that shaun hornbeck, the 15 year alleged captive of micheal devlin never attempted escape because he may have prefered no school and playing video games over home activities, stating a possible stockholm syndrome senario. never once however apoligizing. do you think this is the end?

  • gaming on a celeron d part 2?

    i don't know how to ammend my first question. the celeron d is a 335 model it runs at 2.8 ghz, my motherboard is upgradable to 2gigabytes, with 2 dimm slots at 1 gig per slot, my video card is a radeon ati 256 mb directx9 shader 3.0 x1300. the 1300 throwing me off its not in the charts as far as battlefield 2142 goes which is what i am playing. my concern is i have 512mb of memory, which i know can barely run windows xp, but my concern at a buck sixty a gig, i need ddr ram, should i buy an amd set, and ddr-2 memory, or spend the money on ddr and hope for the best. my goal is to play battlefield 2142 smoothly. i don't want to waste my money, i will spend 200 on memory if i am satsified with play on my processor, or i will spend 400 to build a new system for the same, but i don't want to just throw money away unecessarily.
