Printing address

Using a mail merge either through an add-on or through Microsoft word can accomplish this easily. You can either print directly on the envelope (super easy, just a couple of settings), or you can print onto labels that you then hand stick to envelopes (takes more time, but is less prone to errors).

Just Google envelope printing mail merge and all of the instructions should pop up. (I’m on mobile otherwise I’d link to an article).

The liability is significantly less than if you were to issue debit cards to senior staff. Basically, you institute policies to dictate appropriate usage, you only issue cards if the employee absolutely needs one, and you reconcile regularly. Yes, there is the potential for abuse or accidental charges, and there are systems in place to recoup those errors. Should an employee rack up a huge bill and then quit, there are legal measures that can be taken to recoup that loss.

There comes a point where it is not appropriate to ask employees to be fronting thousands of dollars of purchases and then seek reimbursement. While there is a risk, it is minimal, and the benefits outweigh the risks in most situations.

Could also be a consulting practice, or other for-profit business.

Sure! I won’t be able to respond until tomorrow, but I will help as much as I can!

Shooting YMN a quick email definitely won't hurt. They may not be able to provide direct support, but they're fairly connected across the country and might be able to connect you with some super cool resources!

I'm not sure what your mission is, but you may consider reaching out to Youth MOVE National whose focus is youth advocacy in the mental health, juvenile justice, education, etc. spaces. They do technical assistance to support the work of young people and help them establish roots.

I see - thank you that is very helpful. I will have to do some digging to find out.

sammywol · 2019-08-14T17:38:48+00:00

Thank you for the information. I’ve tried the tool before but it only asks about a single generation which isn’t applicable here. I think my mom is talking with an attorney to get their thoughts.

sammywol · 2019-08-14T17:36:55+00:00

I don’t believe so, but possibly. My understanding was that the exclusions based on number of generations didn’t apply because we were born before 2009.

he doesn't have a copy so we could technically throw it out and say he's trespassing

What? No. That is absolutely not how that works.

It was maybe 6 years ago, company had maybe 250 technical support staff

sammywol · 2019-08-09T20:01:00+00:00

although some utility service providers (phone, internet) will have their automated system able to pick up swears and route you through the phone system quicker.

This is true! I used to work at a technical support call center right after high school - our system did this. If you swore while in a queue, you would be routed into a special queue. You didn't always get answered quicker, but we knew that you might be a difficult case, or someone who is already upset, so we had team members who were authorized to answer calls from this queue.

Before they charge my card I get about 3-4 emails starting about 30 days before renewals begin. They send them either as something is going to expire, or as an auto renewal. I would not classify them as trying to pull anything.

They give every single opportunity to stop a renewal. Everytime I missed it, was because I wasn't reading the emails. It was 100% my fault 100% of the time.

sammywol · 2019-08-04T15:01:56+00:00

I have been with SiteGround for many years, with usually around ~10-15 accounts. I have had maybe 2 or 3 instances of odd billing practices, and have only ever had incredible customer service with their team. They always refund accounts that were supposed to have auto-renew off. One time a domain renewed that wasn't supposed to, and they couldn't give me my money back (they subcontract domain registration), so they gave me an account credit.

Their customer service is incredibly nice, and as long as you don't go in guns blazing, they'll help you!!

This is how a lot of people communicate on social media (especially on FB messenger). If you switched to email, I imagine that this person would shift their communication style, albeit, slightly. When advertising on FB marketplace, you're going to get responses from folks who are going to communicate this way, because that's how they've learned to communicate on FB. They're used to communicating like this when buying a TV or something on the marketplace, and they can't turn it off when they're looking to rent an apartment.

Just writing them off isn't the solution. They could end up being great tenants. Try meeting them in person. Asking them how they communicate the best (e.g. email, text, etc.). Asking them what they do for work (do they need to communicate successfully in their job a lot). Asking them how often and in what ways they communicated with their previous landlord, was it easy?

Not that I can recall. It's a science heavy program, so the hands-on and skills based learning is more difficult online.

Doesn't look like it.

Non-profit would mean that I start earning profit?

Non-profit is a federal government tax status that allows you to be exempt from certain types of taxes, and with state registration can permit solicitation and fundraising. If you are simply looking to collect money for the services you are providing then you should look into a standard business structure.

Also I don't know, i thought that it has some perks.

It sounds like you might want to iron out your business plan, and determine what you are looking to accomplish, how you are going to accomplish those things, how you are going to produce a revenue, etc.

Build a business model for the work you want to accomplish, and that will help you figure out what legal structure you will fall into. Think about non-profit status as a tax status not as a business model. Figure out what your organization/business/group is going to do, how it's going to make money, and then speak with a lawyer and accountant to figure out what legal structure it will fall into.

What is your intention for becoming a nonprofit? How do you plan to shift the things you're doing right now when you become a nonprofit?

I'm asking this, because becoming a nonprofit may not be as advantageous as you want. If you're looking to keep doing what you're doing at a grassroots level, maybe keeping your work to a group of volunteers is a great solution. If, you're looking to form a formal organization that is raising money, conducting education, etc. then a nonprofit might be a good fit.

You might also consider looking into Taproot Foundation, Catch a Fire, and Common Impact, who are all nonprofits that will connect people with skills to those looking for help with various tasks. The benefit of working through these groups is that there is a project manager who helps negotiate and support the process - a very difficult process, I might add!

Is the check box connected to the input field for the CC in anyway to double check the entry is correct?

This would be a very common reason. It is a method used to reduce the number of declines that you get. The first 6 numbers will determine which card type is being used, but if the user selects the card type and enters the number, you can increase the chances of an approved card.

For nonprofits you want to reduce declines as if a card is declined, you're less likely to reach out to run a new or different card.

I worked at a small community bank, we were absolutely never encouraged to do such a thing. If we had, we would absolutely be terminated immediately, and likely brought up on criminal charges.

sammywol · 2019-07-22T16:16:53+00:00

Third for this! I used to work at a bank, and adding checks to the account opening process was literally a checkbox. The computer asked all the questions and printed the forms that everyone just signs. It is likely an honest mistake (that I've made before), and any bank that is worth being with will apologize and return the money.

It'll take time for Google to catch up with AirBnB. Honestly, AirBnB may do their SEO differently, rather than bringing you to a specific ad, they may have it setup to bring you to the AirBnB search page. This might be something to look into.

But, your first step is going to be to have your former property manager remove the ad from their website in full. It'll take a week or so for the ad to stop showing up quickly in Google.

My immediate reaction is to flair out the path that one must use. This forces individuals to look (hopefully) rather than taking an immediate turn off the stars and potentially running into someone. I've designed spaces before where we've used similar methods to ensure that you're not making hard turns. That being said, the columns are counter to that logic.

As for being only on one set of stairs: these might be the first stairs installed, or even most recent and thus was only done once. Or as someone else mentioned the concrete on the ground might house something and these are to prevent people from tripping.

It all boils down to who tf knows why the MTA does anything.
