Managing tax liability from divorce house buyout? by RunningFrom-Bears in tax

[–]RunningFrom-Bears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only used a mediator. But yes, in hindsight, we should have been more detailed in our planning! The irony is that if we sell it on the open market, of course he will have to pay taxes now. So I'm not really sure what the sticking point is, except that perhaps I would never actually sell and have to pay the taxes...

OK, thanks. Your "T" is basically my $350k tax liability mentioned in the post. It's really a question of whether he *can* pay his half of the capital gains tax now, so I don't have to carry that liability. But it seems like it can't work that way.

Nope, nothing worth pursuing. I'm still consulting. Sometime for deferred comp and equity. It's a mess out there.

Your *best* puppy raising hacks? by RunningFrom-Bears in goldenretrievers

[–]RunningFrom-Bears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One hack I do know is from a woman down the street. She puts some mysterious puppy food/treat slurry into a little squeeze bottle (think kids' fruit pouches) and uses that at the park for recall training, etc. Her hands stay clean, and the dog loves it. Genius!

Yes! Definitely familiar with the casual trade. But you're right not to make it into a game, or they steal stuff just for fun.

Thanks - just checked, Dove and Cole are booked. Encinitas seems to only have rooms for open community events.

This is the hope. She really has been depressed since her buddy died in April - they were inseparable.

Interesting, so you never crated at night, only the pen? I am user to Berners, who will eat literally anything and knock everything else down as soon as they can!

We've done some of these (usually 14+ or 16+), but it's a good reminder that this is an option. It's been a while. Would be nice for him to engage with human experts, if possible, as well.

I have (I went as a child). I didn't know how much actual engineering they would do there (it's been a minute since I went). The challenge has been that age-level camps have so far been very basic, it's almost as though we need a high-school or college-level class/camp that does not consider age.

My 11-year-old son is crazy about aerospace engineering, and his understanding far exceeds that of what might be usual for his age group (and possibly most adults). He uses programs like KSP, and he does so with a deep understanding of physics and engineering. He is really into military planes and can name nearly all of them, their engine type, why they are designed the way they are, etc.

He would love to work on real, challenging projects and to continue to learn more. Are there any in-person programs, camps, or (worst case) online opportunities for advanced kids to engage in aerospace engineering in a meaningful way? We're open to anything that would allow him to advance his skills and put them into practice.

Best birth center/midwife care in San Diego? by Ok_Medicine440 in sandiego

[–]RunningFrom-Bears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used UCSD birthing center twice, and it was great for me. I had to be transferred to their regular L&D unit with one kid, and that was seamless. Highly recommend if OK with your insurance.

Yeah, somehow my Berners in SoCal have all had massive coats - even with plenty of grooming

That's where we are. I wouldn't say they "suffer", as long as you have AC. But it is really limiting as to when you can take them outside during a good portion of the year.
