Thanks all. My broker told me that it is indeed an administrative thing as alex suggested.

Last winter, my broker opened a margin account for me when I was buying a new home, but I never had to use it. Margin Loan is $0. However, now on my account statement I am seeing some of my Investments listed as “held in margin” as well as some that are “held in cash.” Can someone tell me the differ...

PBS Great Performances’ One Man Two Guvnors. Absolutely hilarious British farce. James Corden deservedly won the Tony for best actor that year.

Not Christmas songs, but when we did a similar video for the office ( almost all female ) we used Thank You for Being a Friend, and In My Life (Beatles). Not a dry eye in the house.

I found the original wording from the company’s warranty: Park any vehicle with new tires on cardboard or mats until the tires have approximately 1000 miles of wear. Some new tires (since 2007) have a chemical compound on the outside of the tires that will amber (“yellow”) the areas where the tires ...

I had a company install epoxy (about $2,500) on my 2 car garage floor. I was told not to park my new car on the floor until I had driven 1k miles, as the tires would have a coating that stuck to the epoxy. The floor looks great, and I do want to keep it that way, so I am slowly putting mileage on my...

Whatever manufacturer you use, if you decide against leather, select Crypton fabric for durability and stain resistance.

Thanks.

Do you know if the value of the car will count as a gift against the federal limit for the 709 form?

Mapmaker

Thanks. I was able to find an Affidavit of Gift form that I think might cover it. It doesn’t specifically say it eliminates a tax, but it does ask if the transferee is related to the transferor and it is a DOT form, so I think it might be the same idea as in your state.

I want to give my adult son ( not living with me) a car that is worth about $10k. It was my husband’s car before he passed away, and I have no need for it. My son and I both live in PA.

I’ve stayed at Mt. Alyeska Lodge three times. It is amazing. Lots of hiking right at the lodge. Easy drive to Whittier for the 26 Glacier Cruise. Also easy to get the Alaska RR into Seward from Girdwood. Be sure to spend at least one day in Homer.

I don’t know if it’s really comparable, but I just had a landscaper put in 11 green giant thuja, 5 firs, 2 maples, 2 red buds, 5 viburnum (4 ft.) and 3 truckloads of mushroom soil that they mixed with the builder’s “top soil” in order to seed the lawn. (The seeded lawn with straw was paid by my buil...

Oh my gosh, thank you for the link. They have correct information, and the size of my home in sq. ft, but only land value, not the house. The In Care Of line is blank.

Mapmaker

I think you are right. I handed over the final check to the builder and actually met the guy who was doing the final inspection walking through the house. He told me everything was fine, so I assume he gave the Certificate of Occupancy. The next day, the movers were here, but our county (Cumberland)...

I will have to give the tax office a call next week. I found out that my county sends tax bills in March and July, but I didn’t receive the March bill.

I bought the lot last fall, and I paid cash for a new home. I just moved in a couple weeks ago. Can someone from PA tell me when I will get property tax and school tax bills? Will I pay for the whole year since I owned the land, or just March-Dec when I am living in the house? Thanks.

Did anyone who requested a refund actually get their refund? The second week of my back to back cruise was canceled while we were on the ship.

Bad idea for a number of reasons - heat from fireplace can damage TV or at very least shorten lifespan. And you'll be craning your neck to watch TV unless you have a mount that adjusts vertically (very rare - most allow only tilt). Agreed. It also looks stupid. I haven’t made up my mind yet (still ...

The only effective method I found is an old fashioned recipe - soaking large cotton balls with 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup water ( optional), and 1 tablespoon boric acid. Ants will take the boric acid back to the colony as poison. It takes 24 hours, but the ants will be gone. Keep the cotton balls ...
