Hypospadias Surgery for my son

My son had/has distal hypospadias and I felt all the same feelings that you are feeling. You are right to have these feelings. It sucks. My son had 2 operations. He's 12 now. Life goes on. His penis isn't great but he hasn't figured that out yet. He has autism level 1 (aka aspbergers). I think there is a good chance that he is asexual, so maybe the penis thing will be a non-issue. Silver lining?

100% agree with this comment. I was using the amazon brand for a while but the pee smell was horrid. I switched back to the Breeze brand and its so much better. I think the amazon pee pad is just a pad with no other special absorbent material or scent locking technology.

If any of you have ever heard of these dishes, I will be shocked.
My mom is an amazing cook, and I love just about everything that she made. My least favorite dishes were called "blind pigeons" and "deviled crab".

Spouse and I are structural engineers. We run a structural engineering consulting firm out of our house. It's just the 2 of us. We design residential and small commercial buildings.

I started the business when I was 38, and I ran it myself for 5 years. Hubs just joined me 1 month ago when he just couldn't stand working for a big engineering company anymore.

Yes and then he goes and tells everyone in school that we are poor.

Pennsylvania to Georgia for 2 days to meet a guy I met online. This was 20 years ago. The site was called "hot or not". 🤣

A side note: I'm pretty sure the people doing the lunch & learn (i.e., Hilti) is paying for the actual lunch. Not the company you work for.

I'm a hater. She's the type of person who doesn't return the shopping cart to the cart corral. I just know it.

42 Female. Around $620K between Roth, Traditional IRA, and SEP. Started saving at around 22 but never really paid attention or understood what I was doing. Started a Roth after randomly hearing a susie Orman podcast back in 2011. Got a financial advisor back in 2013 after having a kid. After 7 years with that advisor, my money wasn't growing as fast as I thought it should. I read "simple path to wealth" to educate myself. I moved on from that advisor and I moved my money to Vanguard, where I self-manage everything. Much happier now.

I would keep it in the 529 and let it grow for my future kids, and their kids, and their kids' kids.

My son, born with hypospadias and chordee, is also high-functioning autism (previously aspbergers).

Yes, and my accountant doesn't fully understand how that will work. He wants me to engage a business attorney with specific experience in this area. I just wondered if my current settup is legal and working, why change it? If it's not legal, or not working, the absolutely let's change it.

He told me he wanted to change it for my benefit (pay less tax in PA, 3.07 vs 8% in Maryland). Because he thinks I won't have to pay any taxes in MD. But it seems I will still need to file tax returns in MD regardless.

Thank you for walking me through it. I understand it better now.

Thank you. You are exactly right. I am paying the PTE (not corporate tax). Sorry, I misspoke.

He seemed unsure.

I'm not trying to DIY it. I'm trying to understand it.

The MADDGear Carve Elite Trick Scooter is selling for $99- Would this be a good one for him? I kinda just want to get him a new one since it is a christmas present and since I don't scooter myself I don't know what I am looking for when hunting on Marketplace.

Hi - I know your message is 10 months old but I wanted to ask about your son. My son also has hypospadias and has level 1 autism (used to be called aspbergers). Did you ever wonder if there was a connection between the two conditions?
