My wife hates it when 1099 her for services rendered, especially since she refuses to bill against the PO I set up for her. The kids at least accepted NET15 payment terms. Although the oldest said if I short pay him for lawn care again, he’

Insurance companies want money to come in and never go out. If they could they would sell life insurance to dead people and homeowners insurance to the homeless.

No you don’t. It’s a holdover from when files were on tapes. The logic is all inverted too. Record separators were at the beginning of a record. Group and unit separators could then be nested. You really needed a spec for whatever document

Owning a junk car is a rite of passage to adulthood hood. You learn what to do when a car overheats, how to change a tire, replace a fuse, recognize the difference between burning oil and radiator fluid, how to jump start a car, and how to

I’d be happy if we just start with long term orbitals. Build structures in space nearby (say L5) and try obtain self sufficiency. Then build more and move them farther out. Once you can survive in the Oort Cloud, interstellar travel becomes

Check your filters. Some residential units have a mesh between the squirrel Cade fan and the fire box. Mine got partially block by an errant piece if insulation that was restricting air flow and causing the unit to short cycle. I too though

Cross from IL to WI on 94. The toll road ends and the reads are so much better. Of course WI will pull over any speeder with out of state plates. They even take credit cards to pay your fine on the spot.
