I received a credit card offer at my office. I'm assuming a buddy must have signed me up for something because the offer states "Nobody's a bigger Astros fan than you! Show your love of the game with the Astros Extra Bases credit card." I guess I will pass since I don't have enough time in the day to check both Brewerfan . net and Astrofan . net. The Astros are in trouble if I'm the biggest Astro fan.

I have EVO and fat fingers and the only thing I wish it could do is edit/create excel files. I have been very satisfied.

My wife & I saw it from inside our house. My initial reaction was that it was an airplane on fire. But when I didn't see it crash/land, I just assumed it was a firework

My wife & I took our daughters (6 & 4) to DisneyLAND back in October. We brought along a scrap book so that the girls could get autographs from the Disney characters. They love looking at the scrapbook with the autographs and pictures. Also, you get a card to give you access to the pictures that the professionals take while your kids pose with the characters. I didn't need it, but a friend of mine had his camera damaged and was thankful to have the opportunity to spend the money on the expensive professional pictures.

Homer If you are in WI, then you will have a good chance of claiming unemployment. The rules are stacked heavily in the employees favor. This is based solely on the fact that I'm a business owner in WI and I have had to pay out on some outlandish cases. Good Luck!

I figured Syracuse was going to be in rough shape this year after their exhibition game. See the 2nd & 3rd posts from this thread. Apparently, they recovered nicely from that loss. pitchleague wrote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I saw Syracuse lost to a D-II school last night.

I passed the exam 2 years ago. I already had my CPA and CMA, so I didn't think it was that bad. I probably overstudied, but I couldn't take the chance of not passing due to timing of some things already in motion. I used the Kaplan/Dearborn books and I went to a one week study seminar. I've learned from past exam taking that doing tons of practice questions prepares me the best for the exam. I have a friend who used a different set of books and was getting nowhere. Then he bought the Kaplan/Dearborn books and it all made sense to him. I don't always have time to check this site, but you can pm me for any individual questions. Good Luck.

Thank you for your service and a special thanks for the direct link. Keep up the good work.

Please let me know if anyone is willing to part with 4 tickets together for the July 26th game. Thanks BMuch

Congrats FTJ. I am looking to buy a GPS as well, but would also like to use the GPS in the boat to help me navigate. Which GPS devices would display your actual position (ie. in the middle of the lake) versus showing you on the nearest road? Also, can you add customized points of interest? Thanks

It's also still possible you'll be able to file for the $8000 credit this year, but I would tend to doubt it. There appears to be a bit of a reversal of thinking and there's a good chance that if you bought the house in '09, you will still be able to claim the $8k on your '08 tax return. Sorry that I don't have a link. My tax software sent me an update stating that the taxpayer should be able to make the claim, but the IRS is still in the process of updating the tax form. BMuch, CPA

I am running a marathon this May in San Diego My brother-in-law, who lives in the Fox Valley, is going to be running in his first marathon in SD in May. Probably the same one.

Why would you be able to claim a house that you bought in 2009 on your 2008 tax return? Part of the stimulus allows first time homebuyers to take the (up to) $7,500 credit on their 2008 tax return if the home was purchased between Jan 1, 2009 - June 30, 2009. BMuch, CPA

but a snafu at City Hall has changed that. The same thing just happened to Menasha (near Appleton). I've been wondering if the rules for exemption changed or if the crossings weren't maintained properly.

The Goonies!
