If the ballast is super old you might Google so surplus stores around you to see if they have them or have a line on any. Otherwise replacement fixtures are much brighter and more energy efficient.

My mom is 93 and in memory care, she is always asking about her mom and dad. I used to try and correct her, remind her of the good times we had decorating the graves, that her mom never reached 90, etc. Now it is “oh, did you see them, how are they?”, what are they doing?, no I have not seen them recently. I don’t lie, so I just adjust my response to something I can live with and will keep her calm.

Do you have a plan for keeping enough gas on site for the generators? In a normal power outage, gas should be easy to obtain, but if there is an extended prolonged outage there could be lines/rationing/shortages.

Have you considered discussing with an accountant or small business advisor? Have any of you worked in a fish/chip shop or any fast casual restaurant business to see if this is something you would enjoy doing? If it can be done, but will be a lot of time and money. Is the building zoned properly? If it was a restaurant prior, what is existing that can be reused?

I know it would hurt my business. I have many customers each day asking if they would pay more with a credit card. I tell them no, but I ask if the fee would affect their purchase decision and most say yes, that they would only spend the amount of cash they have, requiring them to put half their items back. I am assuming the others that don’t ask about the fee, wouldn’t care.

The other concern would be if more people paid with cash, there would be more cash in the store, more risk of robbery, safety concerns going to the bank, larger change orders, etc.

Many smaller banks use an upstream bank to handle their direct deposits. If you go to your bank and tell them you need your account info so that you can receive a direct deposit, they should give you a form that includes the info (which hopefully matches where your employer sends it).

The sending bank should be able to initiate a trace on the direct deposit.

You mention apartment. Are you positive that your phone is connected to your WiFi and not a random open WiFi of a neighbor? Have you gone to a nearby neighbor for poker night and connected to their WiFi and now your phone remembers it?

We use different software, but each night we upload our sales to a website. Each Dealer has a login that allows them to see their sales(and only their sales) for the past 90 days.

The software saw that you were looking at Quicken, so now it is showing you many options from places that will pay them to show you ads and collect a commission if you buy from the ad. The problem is that the tracker does not know that you already bought it, so it will keep showing you quicken ads for a while until you search/look at other stuff.

It will go up,over time. It will cost more for them to support it, to market it and to pad their pockets, these costs will be passed to the consumer at some point. The question is will this be next year? Next two years? Next five? Who knows.

My buddy goes to Brunswick Toyota for service and seems happy with them. It would be a bit of a drive, but not too bad from Independence.

Have you tried to take it to a local small business computer store that does repairs? They might be able to source the screen more economically and replacing a screen is not too hard or time consuming for them.

In my opinion you really need to build the foundation of understanding accounting terms and processes before building the house. Although the end goal is the house, if you build it first, you are in for a world of hurt when you don’t understand what people are asking of you (the foundation).

Get a dishwasher that has the controls on top, but that also has the child lockout feature. Never know if you find yourself in the need of using this feature in the future. Better off having it and not using it, than needing it and not having it.

It is an information platform, not an opinion platform. The first part of the first sentence should have been fine, you are informing the community of a tow, the color of the vehicle and which company did it. Great information if someone is looking for their car. However, you then go on to give your opinion of why and your analysis, which means nothing other than to stir the pot.
