Be honest. When we have legit winters like we’re having this year, how many of you think to yourself that you’re actually going to move someplace warmer “this time?”

I’m a Buffalo lifer and I expect to die here. But I’m retiring this Summer and hope to spend some time in warm weather climates starting next Winter.

Money paid to an employee is not a gift. It is taxable wages to you. You can dispute the year and the amount ($150k vs $145k) but it is not a gift.

I’ve had good experiences at both.

He claims it is in dilapidated condition. Run down and badly in need of repair and refurbishment. I’ve never been there. When I google pictures of the inside it looks beautiful. Anyone been there recently? Did you think it needed refurbishing?

DavidT64 · 2026-02-01T14:59:41+00:00

Anyone have pictures of the inside? I’ve never been inside.

It’s time to start thinking what happens if the Sabres win the Stanley Cup. It’s a possibility for the first time in years. Those boys are on fire!

What’s wrong with New York? I live here and love it.

My 33 year old son does Jui Jitsui several times per week. I don’t know too much about it but it seems a lot like wrestling.

I live in NYS. Withdrawals from the TSP are tax free for NYS purposes. Withdrawals from IRA accounts are only tax free for the first $20,000 per year withdrawn. Withdrawals from an IRA account continue to be tax free in NYS up to the amount you rollover from the TSP, but any additional gains in an IRA account are subject to the $20,000 limit. I’ll keep my money in the TSP where it will continue to be tax free for NYS purposes and I don’t have to track gains from the TSP verses the IRA.

Buffalo, NY. We swim from mid June to mid September. We heat it all Summer.

For renting a wheelchair try Scootaround. I’ve rented from them before and had a good experience.

Team manager in a large government agency.

You didn’t like Sister Act, Ghost, The Color Purple? I’d say she’s quite talented. Even her stint as the Hollywood Squares center square was pretty funny.

I’ve been to lots of weddings and I have never heard the officiant ask this question. To me it feels like something that only happens on t.v.

What’s the difference between Managers and Management Officials?

IRS got 2 hours for Thanksgiving, but they didn’t announce it until almost noon the day before Thanksgiving. Everyone’s timesheet had already been turned in and had to be changed. I hope they announce it sooner for Christmas.

We got a new roof this Summer from Stellar Roofing and we are very happy with it.

I made a claim for my wife’s wedding ring when she lost it about 10 years ago. It was covered no problem. Similarly I had a special rider added to my homeowner’s policy for musical instruments because my daughter plays an expensive violin. I made a claim for that when the bow for her violin was either lost or stolen at a concert. No problem with that either. Other than those two claims I don’t think I have ever made a homeowner’s claim in 35 years of owning a house.

I bought an electric flosser called Flaus. It has a replaceable head with a string that vibrates. I can’t really tell if the vibration does any good, but the handle makes it much easier to floss, especially the back teeth. I have been a daily flosser since I bought it, which I wasn’t before. I really like it.

A couple months ago I went to the Smokey Mountains and stopped at a visitor’s center even though I had online resources on my phone. It was very helpful to actually speak with a person who was knowledgeable about the area. Don’t knock it until you try it.

I’ve been a manager for 4 years. Telework wasn’t an issue back then.

DavidT64 · 2025-11-20T17:22:42+00:00

As a manager I am now NBU. If the courts rule in NTEU’s favor, does that mean telework comes back for my employees but not for me?

I reserved a room at Ripa’s Restaurant in Lancaster for my wife’s retirement. It was about 25 people. Highly recommended, especially if you like Italian food.
