I think this is a rehash of a recent CR story but in case you missed it:

I found the worst was the education deductions for college expenses among 3 different potential deduction schemes that applied and add to that the tax free college savings plans (529) and computing the amount, if any, to be taxed was like second year calculus.

Tyguy is the first poster I've met in person - I wouldn't have missed meeting him for the world. Wonderful, wholesome family.
Almost met driver last year, but I came down with the flu the day we were supposed to meet. Maybe next year, driver.
It's nice to meet the people you post with here on Edmunds - it's like meeting family.
Tyguy is now on his way to Tampa via I-75.

My understanding from talking to people that I know who are in the profession: Someone in the OR has the responsibility of counting every sponge, every instrument, before AND after the procedure.
Maybe I'll find a day to do the NY show...
There were 772 incidents of foreign objects left in patients that occurred from 2005 to 2012, resulting in 16 deaths. In 95 percent of the cases, patients had to stay longer in the hospital. The most common sites these incidents occurred were operating rooms, labor and delivery rooms, ambulatory surgery centers or labs where invasive procedures such as catheters or colonoscopies take place.
An incident was nine times more likely when an operation was performed in an emergency basis and four times more likely when the procedure changed unexpectedly.

Heck Stickguy and I are so close we are probably shopping at the same stores half of the time and don't even know it.

Mike, we will definitely give it our best shot for next year. If you can meet half way then that would make it a lot more doable....and would run up some miles for you on the CLS400 or whatever car you have by then

I've always used the jmonroe philosophy when doing my taxes. "It's un-American not to cheat when you do your taxes".
That being the case that makes me a damn good American.

I just got back a little while ago from getting an estimate to replace the right front fender on Mrs. j's Subie (2012 Legacy Limited). Yeah, this is the same fender that she was irate about when a shopping cart picked it off about 5 months after she got it. I'm sure the regulars remember me telling that tale. That was a minor dent that I didn't have repaired but the damage now makes it a goner.
This time it's no small dent, major cave in. It happened about a month ago (waited till after the snow season to get it repaired just to be sure of the chances of someone sliding into it would be lessened).
This took place in a parking lot while we went to watch grandson's #3 and #4 play hockey. It had to be a jacked-up truck to hit the fender that high. I guess I'm lucky because if it was 2 inches higher it would have taken out the hood too.
The cost is almost $1100 of which I pay the first $500 (my deductable). The adjuster says that because the car is in "great shape" (his words) they can justify putting on a new Subie fender not an aftermarket job or one from a junk yard. That guy must have taken a dozen pictures to show the car warrants a new fender.
My insurance company says this is a not-at-fault-accident so my rates will definitely not go up. In fact one of the places I got an estimate from says he has the same insurance company and he knows my rates will not go up. That is the good news but I still have to pay $500 because some irresponsible driver in a jacked-up truck can't drive.
In a way I'm surprised this hasn't happened before in a parking lot in all of my years of driving.
My luck ran out last month.

so many people figure, take the more aggressive interpretation of the rules. if you don't get audited, great! if you do, you haggle.

Took it to the local body guy, and instead of doing insurance/deductible to repair/replace and paint, he just popped it out from behind, and did some gentle messaging. Not quite perfect, but not really that noticeable unless you knew it was there and were obsessing about it! Just left it that way, and the dealer I traded it in at a few years later did not seem to care about it. I think I paid about $50 for the job.

When I was around 11/12/13, not to brag, I was pretty good with throwing a yoyo around. Walking the dog, rocking the baby, around the world, man on the flying trapeze, loopty loop etc. Good enough that I got a few badges from Duncan and even Cheerios. The kind of badges that are meant to be sewn on a jacket like the jocks have on their football and basketball jackets. My meanie Mom said she wasn't going to sew any things like that to a good jacket. She would have preferred I got badges that said I was getting a scholarship to a good school. That she would sew on a jacket. I showed her alright, I got a jacket with a badge already sewn on from Duncan when I won another contest.
A few years ago one of my grandsons came over and had a yoyo. He barely knew how to use it. I put it on my finger and after a few minutes I was doing some tricks just like the old days. I guess you can say it's kinda like that riding a bike thing. He was impressed. Mrs. j sees all this going on and says, "why don't you teach him something worthwhile", reminded me of something my mother would say.
I wore out that jacket and it was thrown away. I put the badges in the same shoe box with my baseball/football cards and I had a few autographs I got from some local Pirate and Steelers players back then. I even had a few Roberto Clemente autographs. Just like a lot of mothers did on cleanout-the-closet-day when I was out of the house, that shoe box got tossed. Now I can't even prove to my grandsons that I was pretty darn good with a yoyo back in my day other than doing a few old tricks for them.
Thanks Mom.

I bring this up because my Mom was not a fan of taking over the living room for 4 weeks every Christmad with our trains and the huge table along with all the transformers necessary to operate all the functions of the trains and the peripherals. In fact, I kind of knew she hated those trains.
My brother and I would play with those Lionel's for hours at a time - train whistles blowing and when we put "smoke" tablets in the engine smoke stacks, white smoke would pour out.
I remember one time when I flew back home from Chicago to introduce my spouse-to-be to Mom and Dad one Christmas, anxious to set up my Lionel electric trains (we had three full sets - those locomotives must have weighed 5+ pounds each). I went into my old bedroom to take the trains and table into the livingroom along with the peripherals and they had disappeared.
I went into Mom's room and asked her where "MY" trains were. She responded that she donated them to Good Will! I don't ever remember being more angry and upset than I was at that moment! I had murder in my heart - for my mother? Yes! She had gone and destroyed the last vestige of my youth - just gave them away without first informing me so I could have the option of shipping them out to Chicago so one day my kids would be able to enjoy them as I did for many years. But, alas, it was not to be.
If I remember correctly, I did not talk to my mother for three days - silent treatment with sneers and frowns. My Dad finally intervened and I was forced to forgive her - but to this day all is not forgiven, may Mom rest in peace!

I ended up having mine done Columbia University's Eye Center. It wasn't cheap, but it was so worth it.

I was just pointing out that not every foreign doctor is a hack.
(mods, is this is considered an offensive post, feel free to delete it. It certainly wasn't meant to be offensive.)

Never said they were, there are some good doctors south of the boarder and bad ones north of that same boarder. just that IMHO your odds are better up here.

It's pretty sad. I spent some time with his admin today while waiting for him to see me.
She told me to check every line on the returns and they are losing clients left and right.
At one point, she told me his brother had a stroke.
I kind of feel it's something similar without the physical signs.
Would like to help , but don't know what to do.
Lionel trains were neat too, but unless you had a professional layout they had that middle third rail in the tracks. HO became a lot more popular I think because they took up less space. I recall American Flyer's being kind of in between in size with two rails.
Don't forget Tonka trucks. Strong, durable and realistic looking unlike those Buddy L's.
I'll be there! Canals always has good prices on Yuengling!
