Okay so my hs had picture day a few weeks ago and my pictures came out good, which they never do. So, they put everyones picture on an ID card and then they laminate them and hand them out to the respected owner etc.. So today, we were supposed to get the ID cards and everyone in the grade got one but me cuz apparently my ID card got stuck in the lamination machine which i thot was hilarious. And i just figured they would make me another one okay thats great move on.. But then they told me today that i have to RETAKE my picture???

that’s so annoying don’t worry you’re not overreacting at all. definitely try to convince them to just use the picture that you already took, and say you can give them one or something.
especially if you have to pay for the retake, that’s ridiculous… good luck!

Question by babydoll: Does anyone know everything that you can write-off on taxes?
I want to know what kind of stuff can you write off on your income taxes. I am doing updates on my house (i.e adding laminate floors, garage door, furnace) and my husband also started a landscape business so he bought machines and a truck and other items. Can anyone help me out?

Nobody knows *everything* you can write off on taxes, even the IRS.

Any reasonable, customary, and necessary expenses for your business can be deducted. Big items aren’t expenses; they’re capital investments. You depreciate them instead of deducting them, but that’s still a writeoff.

Normally, land cannot be deducted or depreciated, but if your husband goes from being a landscaper to a full-fledged nurseryman, you will end up selling a ball of dirt with every yew, and a little topsoil with every yard of sod. You can *deplete* your land, because if you keep doing that, the topsoil ain’t gonna last forever. (And THAT is one you’ll never read in the “do your own taxes” manuals.)

Your husband should wear a uniform with his name embroidered on it. His uniforms and their cleaning become tax-deductible in that case. If he just wears blue jeans and flannel shirts, it’s a personal expense. Even though the uniforms cost a little more to buy, the tax deduction makes it less expensive in the long run.

Upgrading your house isn’t deductable now, but they increase the “basis” you have in it, reducing any profit you make when you sell the house. That’s not too important to many people, who will never exhaust the one-time exclusion of housing profit, but as a successful contractor, you might well find yourself owning a big enough house that your profit on that last sale will not be tax-free, so saving all those receipts will be really important.

Answer by misspriss070807
Ashville is a very nice town. Pretty much the whole town is safe and comfortable. This is a place where A LOT of hippies live, not that its a bad thing. Downtown is always hoppin! There is always something to do. Cost of living is probably reasonable, you could find an apartment in town for probably 0 give or take. All in all it is very nice and a great place to live.

Question by Princess.Drama: Anyone want to buy a laminator? (ebay problem)?
Hey everyone!
So i bid on a laminator, it was only 99c (aud) so wat harm could be done? then i found out that there would be problems shipping to my area. I hav not been outbid and i have tried contacting the seller, but so far they have not removed my bid.
If there is anyone who would like to buy a laminator, please consider bidding on this one, as it would get me out of this mess.
Its so cheap anyway!!

any advice welcome too
THANX!
haha thanks benji that sounds like a good idea, but wont i get in trouble with ebay for not paying the postage and handling?
and i am pretty sure that this doesnt cover the criteria for bid removal by ebay. You have to have-
1. bid the wrong amount by accident
2. the seller has changed the information about the object
or 3. you cannot contact the seller
???
ITS OK EVERYONE! i ended up retracting the bid under the option
“not being able to contact the seller”
Seeing as the seller never replied to my message, i felt this the best option!
Thankyou everyone for your help!

Answer by Benji!
Just pay the 99c and then that’s that. Problem solved. Someone working for the post office gets a free laminator!

Edit: Sensible option would be to listen to the guy below me, although it would result in a strike against your ebay account.
You could always pay for it, (including the postage) and have it sent to a relative which you could pick up next time you’re there? Or a place of work?

Question by jehut: Does anyone know?
I am a former teacher who is on disablilty. I do know I am not allowed to teach or tutor in any capacity.Does anyone know if it is legal for me to prepare lessons and/or search the net for suppementals for busy teachers? I have color copying and a laminating machine. If it is legal, what would be a fair price for such services?

Best answer:

Answer by devil1hunter
It would depend on how your disability is worded. No teaching or tutoring sounds like it has something to do with direct student contact. Preparing lesson plans would not involve contact, so you might be OK….It is hard to say without knowing more details of the disability. I would suggest contacting a lawyer. You should be able to find one that will give free legal advise…. Good Luck
