Well, there goes that idea. Oh, not mine. But, a lot of mid-sized entities had the bright idea to provide their employees with tax-free cash to purchase their own insurance on the PPACA Health Exchanges (Obamacare). Now, they won’t be doing that…

Happy Birthday, Eddie!
By the time you will be reading this, I will be in Cincinnati (OH). I haven’t been there is a long time- and this trip is overdue.
The Bill of Rights?
Most of you know that I am (among many other professions and trainings) an Enrolled Agent. That means that I have passed muster with the IRS (after a multi-day exam and copious CEU’s to stay current) to handle taxes and finances for any entity subject to the IRS rules and regulations. As such, I interface with the various offices of the IRS at least once a week – and often more than once a day.
Cursive!
I really have no opinion on the Common Core standards- other than I think it’s a lot of heat about nothing. But, we should be sure we understand the facts.
Parks and Recreation
I have written many times about pricing and how difficult it is to really determine the “best price”. As a matter of fact, that new firm I told you about is dealing with that issue right now. If we price our product too high, sales are cut- and while the margins can be fantastic, we don’t sell enough to be profitable. If we price the product too low, we need to sell millions to make enough money. (Besides the fact that one would be leaving significant funds “on the table”.)
Cancer Therapy Advances
Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent issues for women. Given the fact that we know that BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 can be identified, one would think we could cut the dramatic effects of this trauma for women. But, we still haven’t.
D-Day
It was 70 years ago. And because of that, so many young children don’t have a clue what today is. D-Day. The day the Allies launched a full-scale invasion of the European mainland; the first rung in the eradication of Adolph Hitler and his stranglehold on freedom and his promotion of anti-Semitism.
We’ve gotten it…The Tora!
We’ve been counting since the Pesach (Passover) Seder. 50 days after we were freed from Egypt (Mitzrayim- a place of narrow straits), we were waiting by Mount Sinai to receive the Tora. Sorry, folks, this was more likely NOT in the “Sinai Peninsula”, but found in Saudi Arabia, near an active volcano. As I wrote yesterday, we saw AND heard the words of the Supreme Being (you can get the idea by studying this rocket plant explosion in Henderson, Nevada).
Revelation…
Tonight, I will be staying up all night. And, eating dairy meals for the next two days. Because it will be Feast of Weeks, Shvuot.
Divorce- IRS Style…
“No, David, I need her social security number.
“I don’t have it. Just list it anyway.
“No can do. It doesn’t work that way.”
