I'm using a trainer at a private gym. He owns the gym. Way different I think from going to a large commercial gym where they hire kids off the street, give them a few classes, and call them personal trainers.

If you switch to a job where you make $18K-$50K/yr, maybe part time, you can get subsidized health insurance in the US through Obamacare/ACA/healthcare.gov. If you are on the lower end it will not cost much and could even be

I started working out 6 months ago for the first time, with a personal trainer. I had tried a few times to do it on my own or with a friend, but with a friend it's too hard to coordinate schedules, and without a pro, it's too eas

I work lying down - easier on the lower back than sitting. Prop my head up with a couple of pillows, use a half-round, fairly firm pillow on my lap, rest the laptop keyboard on that at a 45. I used to use one of those mechanical contrapti

It blows my mind that cyclists even want to use the same road as a car. Hell, I don't even want to drive with other drivers these days - everyone is on their phone and not paying attention.

I don't hate cyclists, but in our local cities, they (city officials) are doing incredibly stupid things to make it appear they are accommodating bicycles, when actually, they're endangering everyone. We have a heavily-trafficked,

And because both spouses have to work now to make it, you will have to pay daycare to raise your kids for you. Let's hope they do a good job. So no, your calculations are wrong.

This is bullshit. A pharmacy fills prescriptions signed by a doctor. Now we expect them to audit prescriptions too, and apply some unspecified rules about when a person is abusing drugs? My mom had to go to a pain clinic for Oxy for RA.

Is the IRS's goal to find the most number of incorrect returns, or find the returns with the highest-dollar mistakes? Sounds like it's the first, but probably should be the 2nd. Penny-wise, pound-foolish comes to mind.
