Lol, yeah I got that part, I didn't need to think about it. I just thought you knew something about costco tires that I didn't, because I've bought them there before.

New guy at The Institue for Skin Advancement at Market Mall Professional Building - Dr. Patel. He has been doing an amazing job with the warts on my sons foot. They even have special wart clinic hours. You need a referral though.

I have to fork out over $7000.00 to the Orthodontist for my sons braces. Is this a tax deduction?

Well, if it was rebuilt in a machine shop because shes the Terminator, then no. But if it was done by a dentist, then yes.

Basic gist is: $Money Spent - (3% earned income threshold) x 15% = Tax Refund.

For the portion of your audience who have a hard time using TurboTax to do our taxes, what is earned income threshold?

Earned income x 3% to a maximum of $2,052.

So, if you earned $50,000 this year your threshold would be: $50,000 x 3% = $1,500 and hence:

$6,000 - $1,500 = $4,500 x 15% = $675 cash monies.

If you're the average CP'er though and your income is in the deep six figures:

$999,999 x 3% = $29,999.97 which is greater than the maximum of $2,052.

Therefore your medical calculation would be:

$6,000 - $2,052 = $3,948 x 15% = $592.20.

Voila!

I should inform you that I've invoiced you for my time via PM.

out of the many many vietnamese restaurants in Calgary.. do any of them have Banh Canh?

Banh Canh is like pho but with meat (can be chicken, beef, pork, shrimp etc..) and japanese/korean udon noodles.

My little guy is almost 13 months old now and is about to grow out of his 2nd baby tub.

Our tub has a porous (kinda non-slip) surface, however it's not exactly non-slip enough. Plus nothing really sticks to it.

Any suggestions on how to make it a tad safer for my Son?

Put a cover on the faucet so he doesn't bash his head and let him slip around in the tub. Just don't fill it too full (obviously). You're watching him, so you don't need to worry about drowning, right?
If this doesn't work for you, just put a big towel on the bottom for him to sit on.

Just hang on to him and flush a couple of times...

Or that could be how you get out of bath time duties. Either way.

Make sure you watch him and make sure he stays sitting.If that is happening theb Nothing really worse could happen than what would happen with a kid walking around on a normal basis.

You paid $6000 to have a tooth rebuilt? Did she want a pure gold tooth put in?

I've had two teeth rebuilt (one is a molar, so it took a lot o' buildin'), and I don't think I paid over $250 per. This was years ago and they're still good as new, too, no shoddy work here.
