    That is what i have noticed. What I am going to do in a few days is
    remove all the host names from the conference lists except myself, Barry
    and Ky. Unless someone has info or the host speaks up. I can always add
    it back in when there is an update, Barry do you agree and or approve?

    Hi Michael!

    Not sure if the conference hosts listed on the website are
    still around. The only ones I know of are myself, Barry Martin,
    and Ky Moffet.

    <looking through the list> Talk about a blast from the past!


    Barry since your the Conference Administrator maybe
    you have an idea who is still active.

    Yes -- some time back I configured to receive all conferences and so
    could at least scan through messages even though the topic wasn't of
    personal interest.

    There has also been the occasional consideration raised to eliminate the empty/unused conference and combine into a few generic-encompassing.
    I've been of the opinion too much work (by the SysOps) for the result.

    Too bad they're on the left!

    That way, you don't have to pay taxes on it...but I'm sure
    the government will find a way to collect. Besides, The IRS
    is actually THEIRS!!

    I'm concerned that I'm going to have to pay a capital gains
    tax on selling my car last June, due to medical/vision issues
    that made me give up driving. I had great difficulty driving
    at night with haloes around any kind of light (streetlight,
    vehicle light, etc.)...and my vision would blur on me without
    warning during the day...making it too dangerous to drive.

    The thing is, what I paid for the car originally (it was a
    2013 Chevy Cruze), and what I got when I sold it back to the
    dealership was $4400 less than what I paid for it...so, to me,
    that means I took a LOSS. The money went to pay for outpatient
    heart surgery, transportation via Lyft, medications, groceries,
    and other medical bills.

    Might be worth an appointment with a tax preparer. Not necessarily H&R
    Block, Jackson-Hewitt and the like, but probably more the local groups
    who have some training and do taxes for seniors, generally for free or
    very low cost.

    I'd also would prepare a list of potential deductions to offset any
    capital gains tax you may need to pay -- at least you'd be paying less.

    And 'incone averaging' might be another way to reduce/eliminate.



    The thing is, what I paid for the car originally (it was a
    2013 Chevy Cruze), and what I got when I sold it back to the
    dealership was $4400 less than what I paid for it...so, to me,
    that means I took a LOSS. The money went to pay for outpatient
    heart surgery, transportation via Lyft, medications, groceries,
    and other medical bills.

    Though when you purchased from the dealership they reported the sale as a
    gain and paid taxes. Then when re-purchased they would probably be
    reporting that as a loss So would average out in the eyes of the IRS.

    Barry,

    Perhaps they'll take the outer casing to the zero and so you'll be left with less mpthing.

    What's mpthing?? Is it less than nothing?? That's what the US is running on with a $31 trillion plus deficit.

    Might be worth an appointment with a tax preparer. Not necessarily H&R Block, Jackson-Hewitt and the like, but probably more the local groups
    who have some training and do taxes for seniors, generally for free or very low cost.

    I checked with my tax preparer, and they said because I took a loss with selling the car (what I got in selling it, compared to what I paid for in buying it), I wouldn't have to pay any taxes.

    I also checked with the county Personal Property Tax Department, and since
    I no longer have a vehicle (and doubt I will ever again), they "closed that account". I'll still have to pay the real estate tax on the house, though... but at least it isn't due until October 10. Statements on those won't be
    mailed out until mid-March.

    I'd also would prepare a list of potential deductions to offset any capital gains tax you may need to pay -- at least you'd be paying less.

    The only ones I have are medical...thankfully, many times, the medical facility will just "write off" the charges.

    And 'incone averaging' might be another way to reduce/eliminate.

    Well, considering I get the same amount each month on disability, that's
    my version of "income averaging". They say "money talks"...mine just waves "good-bye".

    Though when you purchased from the dealership they reported the sale as
    a gain and paid taxes. Then when re-purchased they would probably be reporting that as a loss So would average out in the eyes of the IRS.

    I had to pay $730 in sales tax to the state to get the car tags after I bought it (it's around 8% of the total cost paid). But, as noted, the tax preparer told me I didn't have to worry on that. Also, I told them since
    I no longer drive, taking Lyft to and from there (about 35 miles away)
    would be prohibitively expensive, they said I could scan in all the items, create a PDF file, and send it to them. Then, if signature was needed, they would email that form to me, I'd print it, sign it, scan it in, make a new
    PDF, and email it back to them. Then, I pay for the services via my debit
    card over the phone. Then, I don't have to make an in person trip to their office.

    Or like the meme..."when you think you're having a bad day"...a prisoner
    had dug out of jail, and was about to escape to the surface. The problem
    was that what he was about to encounter was the holding tank for the

    LASIK is the eye surgery...LASIX is the diuretic (generic term is Furosemide). LASIK should improve your vision...LASIX should improve
    the activity of your urinary system...because it's better to be pissed
    off than pissed on. Because, some days, you're the dog...other days, you're

    'Mpthing' is pronounced something like when a person is gagged and

    over their mouth in shock to the deficit number,

    And since it's the government it's like the contestant on Jeopardy! who
    at the end has a negative score: doesn't play but still goes home with
    $1000.

    Well the good news is the list of potential deductions was for the

    disability, that's my version of "income averaging". They say

    From what I understand 'income averaging' is done over the past several
    years to offset a spike in income. That way a smaller group of money is

    Barry,

    There you go, being greedy again!

    More needy than greedy, seedy, weedy, creedy, reedy, or deedy.

    Hmmm, sounds like cousins of a group of dwarfs...although in "Who
    Framed Roger Rabbit", there were only 5 weasels.

    That's probably been the thought through the ages. Depending on the example I would think some of it is the fault of the parents. Parents shouldn't be shoo-ing their kids off to entertaining themselves and instead playing with/being involved with them. OTOH the parents need their 'alone time', plus the kids shouldn't 100% rely on the parents
    for something to do.

    Years ago, parents would drop their kids off at the malls, and the kids
    would get into all sorts of trouble. Then, the parents would say "My kid
    would never do something like that!!". Yet, when shown the video evidence, they'd file a lawsuit for "invasion of privacy".

    Is that due to accumulation over time?!

    Well, all of us are going to meet The Grim Reaper eventually. I think
    of the meme where this amateur radio operator gets confronted by The
    Grim Reaper, who tells him "That fancy, expensive HF rig, you ordered
    behind your wife's back?? It arrived today, and she signed for it. Do
    you want to go home first and face her, or do you just want to come
    with me now??". <G>

    To me would seem odd to not watch TV: I do it more as a meaans to be

    also use reading as a source. The other couple hours is more for entertainment and distraction.

    Hi Daryl!


    Hmmm, sounds like cousins of a group of dwarfs...although in
    "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", there were only 5 weasels.

    The other two couldn't agree on a contract.


    That's probably been the thought through the ages. Depending on the example I would think some of it is the fault of the parents. Parents shouldn't be shoo-ing their kids off to entertaining themselves and instead playing with/being involved with them. OTOH the parents need their 'alone time', plus the kids shouldn't 100% rely on the parents
    for something to do.
    Years ago, parents would drop their kids off at the malls, and
    the kids would get into all sorts of trouble. Then, the parents
    would say "My kid would never do something like that!!". Yet,
    when shown the video evidence, they'd file a lawsuit for
    "invasion of privacy".

    Sneaky definition-twisting lawyers!



    Is that due to accumulation over time?!
    Well, all of us are going to meet The Grim Reaper eventually. I
    think of the meme where this amateur radio operator gets
    confronted by The Grim Reaper, who tells him "That fancy,
    expensive HF rig, you ordered behind your wife's back?? It
    arrived today, and she signed for it. Do you want to go home
    first and face her, or do you just want to come with me now??". <G>

    I've seen a series where the Grim Reaper isn't all that bad: more of a
    Guide. In one series he picks up a dog left abandoned: tied to a post
    in a snow storm. Anothera kitten is re-united with the mother.

    Barry,

    To me would seem odd to not watch TV: I do it more as a meaans to be
    aware of what is happening in the outside world via the news, though
    also use reading as a source. The other couple hours is more for entertainment and distraction.

    As noted, I haven't turned on the TV's in 4 years. I might watch a local newscast off their website, but that's about it.

    I'm only one step away from being rich. All I need is money. :P

    Soooo close!

    I keep trying. :)

    That's as dangerous as praying for patience, and wanting it
    now!!

    Perhaps an 'emergency acquisition' in special instances?!

    That you make it to the outhouse in time?? :P

    About the only thing they can take is a good heart.

    The cardiologist is the one with the get well cards. <G>

    Cuneiform!

    Yeah, that too.

    ... Save disk space: put your word processing documents in a tiny font!
    Deleting the pickled files (dll's) made my computer sober...but
    it crashed on the sobriety test. :P

    <groan!>

    The beauty of the pun is in the groan of the recipient, so I'm the
    winner. <G>

    I guess not.

    as he couldn't deal with constantly lying.

    If I see, hear, or smell someone puking, I'll do likewise in short
    order.

    I generally don't watch/listen/pay attention to them either. Once in a

    Barry,

    I generally don't watch/listen/pay attention to them either. Once in
    a while I'll record as they have someone or some topic of interest.

    As noted, I haven't turned on the TV sets or the DVD/VCR deals in over
    4 years.

    Ha! And they thought no one would notice!

    I think the Democrats are the party of death...with wanting abortions,
    to kill off the elderly and disabled, and the rest of the population with Covid-19...and now with eliminating gas stoves and other appliances. They
    want to save the planet, by destroying the population. Well, if all life
    has died off, there's no point in the planet being here, either. And,
    according to the Bible, one day, the planet will be destroyed by fire,
    anyway.

    Next, if you get rid of coal and LP gas, and the electrical grid goes down from an EMP (that will happen...the question is "when?"), people will freeze
    to death in winter, die from heatstroke in the summer, and starve to death
    for lack of food. They themselves probably got shots of just a saline solution, saying they actually got the Covid-19 shots. It's more of "Rules
    For Thee, But Not For Me".

    Biden is saying he has no regrets about this "classified documents" mess; yet he is irriated about folks asking aboout this...and the DOJ saying they won't cooperate. To me, he is hiding something. But, on Judgment Day, there will be no question of guilt for anyone...and not even Perry Mason will be able to help them. All of their fans, media, administration, won't be able
    to save their lousy hides, either.

    I've told others "Don't worry about my sins on Judgment Day -- you won't
    be asked about them".

    "Darn! Out of Sears Roebucks catalogues again!"
    Ma!! What did we do with the corncobs?? :P

    Pigs got 'em!

    Maybe you need some hemorrhoidal oinkment now. <G>

    You forgot "Get Rhythm...When You Get The Blues". <G>

    I thought that was arrhythmia and turning blue!

    That, too.

    As noted, I haven't turned on the TV sets or the DVD/VCR deals

    I hope you have unplugged them: though 'off' they are on a bit, mainly monitoring if the remote control gets pressed. Also take the batteries
    out of the remote so won't leak and damage.


    Ha! And they thought no one would notice!

    So since want to stick around one good reason to take away the flammable stuff. <gg>

    Or "The Rule of Self-Preservation". I kind of go by 'the rule of the
    lesser evil': nothing we do is all good: there is always so bad aspect,
    so try to do the best and minimize the worst.
