Non-Typical Solutions

I use turbo tax and have for years. Last year I claimed tuition/books on my 21 year old and it recognized that as an expense. This year he is 22 and it won't recognize it as expense, says I don't qualify. Any ideas, is it an age thing. I don't claim him as a dependent. Side note, I called the tax hot line last night, was told I might be on hold for at least 30 minutes.....................2 hours later I decided to hang up and try calling again. Got the recording that I needed to call during business hours. As usual, the government left me hanging....................

We cosigned for my son and his wife for a new used car about two years ago after he rolled his rig. They paid off the loan and I recieved an overpayment check from Ally yesterday in the mail. The check amount was for $.01. They spent $.38 cents to mail the check to us.............. Wow..........now that is some serious business there...........

I didn't claim him as a dependent last year either, and it tells me that even though he did no live at home but was away at college I could claim the expense..........I have not had luck with the chat yet.....guess I will have to be more patient....thanks

Coach, You have inspired many here to reflect........I got this inspirational clip today from a friend, check it out, make sure you watch it all they way to the end.

Call him and ask him......he just was trying to buy some antlers..........

Those shots with the stars rotating out there just floor me and remind me how in sinc this whole mess has to be to even exist. Great stuff.......thanks

I need a step by step cause I barely even know how to turn this ipod on.......phone setting, then?????

Did you happen to see where Feinstein was trying to explain the attachment device on the gun for a bayonet which someone had to point out to her that it was in fact a mounted ring for a shoulder strap for carrying the gun!!!! Don't let that lady close to a gun she probably doesn't know which end the bullet comes out...........scary leadership all the way around up there at the big house...........

We will take guns away from US citizens and ship tanks and fighter planes to Egypt. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/01/22/gift-us-f-16-fighter-jets-en-route-to-egypt-amid-criticism/

OK...day dreaming in full motion......fun stuff there.............

January 26 and 27........details coming.............mark your calendar.....I am sure a good meal and prizes are somewhere in the mix as Tommy always puts a good contest together.

I have truly enjoyed this site through the years. Many stories have inspired me in many different ways. Getting invloved with wildlife projects. Wanting to get better at shooting. Prompting me to try and hold out this year for a "bigger" buck. But this time it is different. I read TAM's article about his loner hunt and how he prepared for it. I even messaged him and asked questions about how he got in shape. After reading, getting some pointers from TAM and making an agreement with my son Cole. I dove in and started losing weight. It wasn't that I was just, huge big, I just knew I was packing about 30-35 extra pounds that I wanted to get rid of......... Cole was wanting to wrestle 106 and I was wanting to go from 165 down to 135ish.......... I haven't seen 135 for about 35 years, graduated from high school weighing a whopping 125. Yesterday I weighed 136...........Cole has been wrestling 106........and honestly I feel lots better. Helped me quit snorring at night which helped me out with my wife........ So thanks TAM for your inspiring story..............and to all you out there who make this the only site I go to for reading and info regarding just about anything............

Wrestling practice started October 1st I think.......I told Cole I wouldn't eat any junk if he wouldn't. That makes for a tough deer hunt I tell you but we survived it. I also used a program called calorie counter to help me choose better food and portion size.

I remember watching rally's back in the late 60's on TV......protesting the war.......wondering who had time to rally. My dad would have never had time to leave the ranch to go rally. Now as I have gotten older and watched rally's.......I don't have time to go to any rally either......most of the rally's I have witnessed made me wonder how those people were able to keep their jobs and have so much time to "rally". I tried to rally and cast my vote back in November........but it was not to be.................. You gotta admit when the media covers a rally.....they interview the ones that they want to either look really good or really bad depending on which side of the issue the media wants you to hear......... Good luck on the rally.............I will be wrestling in Payson that day................

Thanks for posting the document.....interesting read. Lots of things G$F is agreeing too on who's behalf??? If I didn't know any better I would think I was trying to drive across the reservation paying an access fee and all.........something smells funny with this......... So if I pay $60 bucks....I can access only if I have a large game tag and only during the specified hunt seasons??? Yep.......the prarie dog towns are rallying on this one............

OUCH BPJ.....that is some pretty devastating info right there.......I hope to hannah that you are wrong on this........

Caught this guy on trail camera.....has no clue what the heck is going on around him!!!!

Still for sale and still sitting there.

Was my first car given to me in 1981, I thought maybe someday I would get it all fixed up nice but I don't have the talent or the money to do it. Does not run, has been sitting for probably 20 years, in its day it was a smooth ride and my wife even married me after seeing this beauty. Pretty sure the engine is done but I am no mechanic, I was driving it to Show Low to get it tags and it started clanking, had to tow it back to the spot it rests now. It is full of dirt and dust but maybe somebody has a use for it. Make me an offer and come get it located here in Snowflake.
