The restaurant group that owns it owns the Crab traps and what not. It’s basically their best restaurant or up there, but the group is basically knocking out Sysco premade food products.

re: Business trip voucher dilemma

Should I challenge my boss to ask him to chip in? I've had a lot of people tell me he would have asked for the reimbursement from the client. I'm going to retire in July anyway, but I've been with him for over 35 years and he's been a great boss.
Goodness. I certainly wouldn't stress over that.
I also don't know how vouchers work but I can't believe that you couldn't put a voucher back on a company card that bought it. That makes little sense to me.

Your reply is ignorant as hell considering Vonn crashed and broke her leg.
I had no issue with Vonn trying to compete, if she was the best option and the USA was limited. If she was, no issue at all.
I don't think it was a likely a good idea, and I think the pressure from the media to push a story in an otherwise boring Olympics was extremely strong. So I question the motivation.
I have no issue with Vonn wanting to go full send at the end of her career and accepting the consequences.

Call me crazy, I don't feel like $24k for an MBA is a lot of money at all and likely "worth it" to many.
I would suggest that for everyone on this board that thinks its not worth it there are plenty of employers and executives out there that would consider it "worth it", I mean if it makes you an extra $5k a year for 10 years the ROI was worth it and I think it could easily be a tipping point in a career decision at some point.
I also feel like everyone that says "it wasn't worth it" is happy with their career/ company they are at. If you aren't, that makes a big difference in regards to it being "worth it".

Are you sure it will even matter? What’s your income and are you not using the standard deduction anyway?

re: Looking for ideas on how to mount TV to Steel beam
Posted by baldona on 2/9/26 at 3:14 pm to Uncle JackD
How big of a tv are you mounting? I don't know if its an option, but I have a tv on wheels for these types of things. If you have good storage, you could consider that.
TVs weigh almost nothing these days. You could put a 50" with just some sort of straps, I'm not suggesting to jerry rig it but...I'd think they would sell a not permanent clamp of some sort for this. But if its cold galvanized any sort of metal clamps will wear that off. As said they sell it in spray paint cans.

You should also look into places like Wildlife management areas, national forest, national wetlands, etc. if you are looking for camping spots especially to get away from people.
re: Non ski activities in Breckenridge for kids
Posted by baldona on 2/9/26 at 2:54 pm to TigerTatorTots
Something to keep in mind, if you are walking up the hill then sledding is usually like 1-2 hours max time. Everyone gets tired of it fairly quickly especially kids that age. You may luck out and they want to do it all day, but I've found more often than not 1 or 2 kids gets tired of it after 20 mins and everyone hates their life shortly after. Not suggesting don't try, I just wouldn't bank on it being an all day activity.
re: Winning a Super Bowl in the state of California actually cost Sam Darnold 70k.

I was hoping an accountant with some experience with this would chime in on one of the threads, there's been multiple.
There's no way the CPA's don't have good ways of reducing this. I would also think the pro sports would have better ways to handle this.
Its never as simple as 1/20 games in California so 1/20th is taxed. Someone said 8/365 days. But I've never heard of someone being taxed for a "day" of work and he's not working all 8 days really. Not to mention he certainly isn't working all 365 days of the year.

This. This makes me believe it is obviously a ruse. Personally, I think the brother in law killed her and freaked out causing this "ransom" trail. Whoever took her was in the house for 45 minutes which is also very strange for a kidnapping, planned murder, etc.
I wish Op or front page would update the details.
So my understanding of the time line is this:
9:48pm BIL drops off mom
9:50 garage door shuts
2:30am ish video system goes down
Heart monitor looses connection with phone overnight at like 4am?
11AM friends check house because she isn't answering phones and find a likely crime scene with blood
So assumption is her phone was connected to her heart monitor and both were at the house alive at 9:50pm?
ETA: Also assume since her heart monitor connects to her phone, and her phone never left the house then she never left the house until her heart monitor lost signal to her phone?
Is that the only reason beard eaves is open?
re: Sam Darnold Prop Bet Shenanigans
Posted by baldona on 2/9/26 at 6:43 am to SlowFlowPro
Ha exactly. It’s one prop bet. There’s what 150 plays a game, a couple of plays a game will look ‘fixed’ just due to that.

My takeaway from this years Super Bowl, maybe it’s not worth it paying your QB $55M+ and definitely not worth it paying your EDGE rusher top dollar.
This and more of this. It’s shocking that putting almost 20% of your salary of a 55 man roster into one player doesn’t work out very well.

Ground jersey is a great way to burn through it and just do like teryiaki and almost anyone will take it and eat it.
I like doing some summer sausage next, no reason to put cheese in it imo it’s expensive and just have a slice with a slice of cheese and a cracker. It’s also fairly easy to give away.

It's not bad to have to work on weekends.. You can make appointments easier and most of us in 30's and 40's don't really go "out: anyway in weekends.
You must not have kids. Working on the weekends with kids is terrible, and I work a lot of weekends and have kids. Luckily I own my own business so I have some flexibility. But I’ve routinely gone into the office before 6 on a Saturday to finish something before my daughter’s soccer game and then went back to the office. I was lucky. There’s a lot of things especially with kids that only happen on the weekends. Most of the time, as a professional, most of your friends work 8-5s. So when you work they are on and vice versa.
ETA: oh, and 3 day weekends? holidays? All different and sucks when everyone you know is off but you have to work the Holiday weekend. Occasionally, not a big deal. Everyone, sucks

If I remember correctly, what sent her over the edge was euthanizing a beautiful young golden retriever that had eaten some rocks and had an obstructed bowel and the owners refused to pay about $1,200 for the relatively simple surgery to save its life.
I can certainly see this. But personally I’ve seen the opposite side a hell of a lot more, with people keeping pets alive that are well beyond their normal lifespan to just hobble around deaf and blind.
