sometimes i only go out w my credit card in my back pocket, my agreement with american express says nothing about having to show ID to be able to use my card, and we don't live in a country where you have to carry your papers with you at all times

lol. I do that, too. But when asked for ID (which only ever happens at Bloomingdale's I find--you could probably get around it there, if you take the receipt by email and show them on your phone), I think "wow, I should carry ID." You could get hit by a car, you know.

Driver's license is not "papers". Really? And if you don't have that, then you need an ID card. Otherwise, be prepared to have your purchases declined, weirdo.

Sure. And they can refuse to accept your credit card. THEY are the ones bearing the risk if the card is being used by an unauthorized person.

That's smart. But most credit card fraud is online these days. Retailers need to update their systems to spot fraud. Like when someone used my Amex to make 15 purchases of Starbucks card reloads inside a half hour totaling 2k. That should have raised a flag. The only reason the coffee card was canceled, by the way, was because I called Starbucks 800 number. Their initial reaction was that I should call Amex--until I mentioned the big chargeback. Then the card was canceled.

It is a complicated question. First, is the business structured as a partnership for tax purposes (can be either LLC or pship). Second, is buy out structured as a redemption? You need your own advisor.

Generally, any profit on the buy out would be taxed as a capital gain, unless you remain involved and they are paying you out for ongoing input/knowledge, in which case it might be taxable as ordinary income. LLC vs partnership makes no real difference, so long as it's taxed as a flow through entity and not a C-Corp.

it depends on the teacher more than the type of yoga. i've been to some classes where they add some bicycle type crunch things at the end. you should see results in a few weeks.

OP: Thanks. The instructor I go to most often usually incorporates some bicycle crunches at the end, but honestly doesn't seem like enough to really make a difference. Though I suppose I COULD do crunches/core on my own..LOL.

vinyasa is good. wait 3 weeks as with anything to start feeling some results. if you really want fast results you should go all 5 times. but regardless in two months you'll feel & look different and be more flexible!

Thanks! Vinyasa is what I have mainly been going to, because I like how it is more active movement (though that does vary from instructor to instructor). Does it matter much if the classes are only and hour, vs 1.5 hrs? I go at the gym, so most classes are an hour, though today I went to an 1.5 class and it was great.

I've found that yoga is great for strength and flexibility but have never achieved any significant muscle definition. Not the place to go if you are trying for a 6-pack.

ITA. And I can't stand that so many want to allow cell phones in school. I am fine with keeping them off and stowed, but I think it is really bad policy. They are pandering to the parents. That is not a big issue, though. It just annoys me. I want to see some bigger changes like a pledge to reduce overcrowding, overhaul the G&T system, choose a better curriculum, admit that not all kids are going to be college ready and work with that in a vocational way, etc.

rent first! it's not for everyone. we love it but i've given the rent-first advice to several friends and i'd say it is about 50/50, some love it (and make the sacrifices/juggles to make it work), others cannot deal with the hassle.

Have you been microwaving chicken nuggets? That's when chicken skin becomes chewy and rubbery. In general, I brown chicken legs and thighs after they are dipped in flour, cook them covered in a pan with some liquid and uncover for the last ten minutes or so in the oven.

Thank u. I am sitting here crying. I don't know why I can't shake this sadness. I do go to therapy etc. just sad that parts of my life are gone. I suffered so much in my twenties from anxiety disorder and so much if my life and potential wasted. Thank god I had my baby. But again this is how I feel now that those yrs are gone. Hard to accept. Getting older. And miss the baby I didn't have

I feel your pain, because at 39 I feel like I wasted a lot of my 20s/30s. However, be thankful for the child you do have. I don't have even that, nor a DH in sight (and I don't want to have a baby on my own).

You can still adopt and if you want a home, you can move out of nyc. There are choices you can make to change this! I'm in a similar situation with babies--I'm 45 and thinking of adopting domestically if I can figure out the process. gl!

I'm at advanced intermediate/ lower advanced level now ( 1 yr later). I ended up getting two offers in the end. There is light at the end of the tunnel, it takes time no matter how talented/successful. Good luck!
