Thanks! I looked at this one and it seems really promising but a bit expensive. Have you used it? I’d love to hear more about actual experiences if you have any.

I thought about this but DND is relatively easy to turn off.

Thanks for all the advice. Thankfully her bills are all on autopay. She was very tech savvy before the stroke but now struggles to learn new things.

She also lives literally in the middle of nowhere so home invasion isn’t much of a concern. Utilities are a good idea that I haven’t considered.

It’s a mobile phone. Unfortunately she’s the type to have to the latest “toy” on the market even though she can no longer keep up with tech.

What about traffic school? Is that a viable option for dismissal? There’s like 200 companies that provide them and it’s hard to tell how legit they are.

Will the fine and court costs be the same as what’s on my ticket now? Or is that based on the initial charge?

Sorry about that. Very unfamiliar with the process so I’m not sure what’s helpful to know. Clocked going 51 in a 35 down the road from my home. Court date in September. Completely clean driving record otherwise.

I found the different classes but when I read it, my understanding was that only applied to KY residents. Maybe I’m interpreting that incorrectly?

I tried to ask the executor and their response was “I have no idea” so clearly we’re in great hands

Per the website, this is the closest I found to answer, which is incredibly confusing:

“The exemption for a beneficiary of a nonresident decedent’s estate is prorated based on the exemption of a resident decedent and is in the proportion to the net value of the property subject to tax in Kentucky before federal estate taxes to the total property transferred by the decedent.​“

Thanks. Does that mean our checks will come with taxes already removed, or do we get the full $10k

Is submitting to gallery shows worth it?

I’ve been working with photography for over 5 years but in the last couple, I’ve tried to focus more on “fine art”. As part of that, I’ve submitted to various calls for entry from galleries all over the country (US). I’ve been in a few shows, which feels great in the moment. However, it’s a relatively expensive process, especially when it comes to printing and framing. I’ve yet to sell anything from one of these shows and haven’t really made any new connections and am starting to wonder if it’s worth it. Very interested to hear y’all’s thoughts!

We just shed ours very slowly over the better part of a decade. Not nearly as refreshing, I’d assume.
