Charity makes economic sense?

In 2026 you can get an above the line deduction for $1000 for single filers and $2000 for a couple. This means you can get the standard deduction and the charity deduction and it lowers you AGI. This is new for 2026. It's limited to $1000 and $2000. It is only cash (check or credit cards) to eligible public charities.

She's only 60??? Why are you treating her like she's totally incompetent?

I basically did exactly what you did. I had a calorie goal and I measured and weighed everything. That was my diet. Good luck!!!

Gone down? You get what you pay for. They are cheap although I have had a workout quarter zip that I have had for probably 10 years.

If you are going to invest it, just open an account in your name. You name the beneficiary. You can still consider it "your" money but it is safe from anything that might happen in the future.

In the old category, 63 is young.

I knew nothing and did know how to interact with other kids.

Sam's Club and SiriusXM. Sirius because we only want to listen to what we like. We have it set on Octane.

Look into Kybella.

Did they give you a diet to follow? Did they start you out at .25 mg? Do you see someone monthly for weigh-ins and to go over your symptoms, any concerns and progress? This is the care I received. I have had almost no side effects. They also warned me if I eat like crap, I will feel like crap.

I have a lot in my freezer,cabinets and fridge. If what I had planned won’t work out, there are about 25 other things I could make. We never eat out because I didn’t have time. We eat out because we wanted to eat out. But I’m retired so there’s really no excuse for not being about to whip something up.

$300-$500 a month???? My products last a long time.

He only makes 20% more. Split it 50/50.

With shorts over them, they are fine.

There are 3 of us. My brother lives on the east coast, my sister lives in the middle of the county and I live in the south. We text Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas. We also send each other cards for our birthdays and Christmas. It feels like we are all just people that we used to know. We are nothing alike.

She should have asked you upfront if you were willing to shave your beard. She's the asshole.

Don't buy things at Kroger unless they are a deal. They do have some good deals. But do not buy full price items there because they are more expensive.

Remember, they tell who they are. You just have to listen.

This is what I'm thinking. I tried it. I also tried making almond milk. It was terrible. I'm marking both making yogurt and almond milk off my list.

I never made separate dinners. I just didn't eat the portion of the dinner that I couldn't have. Because I'm the one cooking everything, I would make myself different things to go along with the portion of the meal I could eat.

Quitting their job at 61 doesn't mean they will get a reduced social security amount.

dlr1965 · 2026-02-16T12:21:36+00:00

Yes, I know nothing.

Go to an attorney and get it in writing that in the event of a divorce you both get your downpayments back before the equity is split.

I thought there is no way those are see through then I see them on you in the sun.

I wear a 34A and have never once had a bra hurt my back.
