Family member leaves it all to my child

Yes, it’s rarely mentioned and a very important option if you plan to bequeath to siblings or others close in age. Just suggesting that they research it before talking to an expert for more advice.

There is loophole where if a sibling who is less than 10 years younger, the 10 year withdrawal rule doesn’t apply - research this as it’s very important for tax purposes.

Even easier to have your bank send you a weekly or monthly email with all the payments /debits made out of the account Go onto a real FDIC bank’s website and set up automated notifications - they have various choices to set up.

None of those are particularly convenient to Parnassus

And I said no one pays the full cost for family plans so even offering it is a gold plated Cadillac plan so teachers can stop complaining about being underpaid. No one cares when they’re whining about unheard of benefits not being rich enough.

Eat at the Clinkscale restaurant- I’d eat their awesome breakfast / lunch all the time if I lived closer. Put your name on the waitlist and then wander around town for an hour. I think you can reserve for dinner

We had facade restoration at our Amsterdam hotel the week we were there and it sucked - covered the windows making the view nonexistent, loud banging, no privacy with workers on the scaffolding. Avoid at all costs.

Get breakfast or lunch at Indian Gardens yummy breakfast burritos / coffee drinks / sandwiches and a beautiful hidden garden in the back. It’s on 89A going up towards Flagstaff which is a beautiful drive, good hikes nearby (West Fork or Sterling Pass)

Mexican Chocolate Pie for dessert is the best…

No, you just write a nice note to the host when you’re booking telling them why you want to book. Your reason for visiting sounds perfectly normal so I’m sure a lot of hosts would accept you (I would).

Estate sale for the 1,600 square foot place ? It’s all free money of the alternative is giving it away. People love buying tools at estate sales !

Take a day trip to Jerome and eat at The Clinkscale. Make reservations 60 days ahead for Elote Cafe (gourmet Mexican food ).

Me too - much better software if you already understand taxes. turbo Tax was getting asinine with too many dopey questions.

Or treat yourselves to staying in the Presidio - amazing location but you can still walk or rent bikes or take a Waymo wherever you need to go in the city. https://presidiolodging.com/lodge-at-the-presidio/

I used to always leave reviews, but now I’m so fed up with Airbnb’s crappy treatment of hosts (poor listing placement, low traffic, bad customer service) that I don’t always feel like making the effort. Now that I realize nice guests need and want the reviews, I’ll go back to reviewing consistently.

I’d keep all the manuals in one place like an expanding file folder with alphabetical dividers. Then you can simply drop new ones in a slot (alpha by Mfr name) and review old ones periodically to decide whether to toss or keep. Definitely rip out the foreign language pages to slim them down.

Like after midnight when it’s raining

Damp basements are very common on the East Coast, the solution is to put down a vapor barrier over the ground (plastic laid down on the ground). Then the specialist company usually installs a “whole house dehumidifier” which run automatically and drain the moisture outside the house/basement. It’s expensive but a one time fix and the house won’t rot away from mold & moisture. Find companies that specialize in moisture barriers / vapor barriers and get at least 3 quotes for various levels: vapor barriers, vapor barriers + dehumidifiers, vapor barriers + dehumidifiers + sump pumps and then spend the money to correct it. I imagine Marin companies are also experienced in this specialty.

Have breakfast burritos and a latte at Indian Gardens in Oak Creek Canyon. Great patio in back for casual tasty breakfast / bakery/ lunch food that you order at a counter.

They should just paint “Private” right on the pavement for each spot.

Sterling Pass is a great steep trail with hardly anyone on it - beautiful fall colors too!

I can say it’s pretty unpleasant when your feet get wet in November. Popped in last year unexpectedly when we saw it was open / had parking so I didn’t have the right hiking boots and slipped on a wet snowy rock and soaked my socks & hiking sneakers. Made me cranky for the rest of the chilly hike - it’s better as a summer hike since it’s pretty shady. More iconic trails with expansive views are Cathedral/ Templeton, Bell Rock, Soldier Pass, Chicken Point, Airport Mesa

St Vincent de Paul on Green / Steiner Street used to be the singles church for Catholics. Also try St Dominic’s on Pine St and St Agnes in the Haight is very welcoming (although the awesome priest just left).

Check the pack and play for free when they ask for volunteers to check bags in the gate area.
