Re: Few tax questions (NRA, child tax credit etc)

You are impinging on my username! :D

Based upon combining your earnings, you and your fiance'/husband may make "too much" to qualify to take childcare costs as an exemption (dependent care costs)....

Re: Tele

Can't believe it's been two years since I've been on here! :O

Can't say that there's really anything on that I'm watching... Downton Abbey is not as good as it first was, and the ways I watched it...

Re: Moving to the mountains

I'm a bit geographically stuck, caught between my daughters and my boyfriend. We'll see how it plays out. One daughter now lives in the Bay Area (UC Berkeley); the boyfriend is in the Netherlands,...

Re: Credit history and joint credit cards

Yes, this is possible.

It may also be possible to apply for credit with a joint application that has both names. That way you are both responsible for the debt. If the application is in your...

Re: Why move to the US?

2) Outcomes are horrible given the dollars spent. Definitely NOT value for money.

Re: Moving to the mountains

I agree with you, but I'm so specialized that if I were to be too specific, I'd lose anonymity. What I'm seeing across the development spectrum is a majority of jobs in India, with people to be...

Re: Moving to the mountains

I don't think we'll see much hiring across IT. I do see some project-based contracts, but no real *careers* because there's indecision over what to do next. LAMP is Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. ...

Re: Why move to the US?

Re: Moving to the mountains

What I'm seeing is a lot of reluctance to hire IT workers. Most new development jobs are in India, and I see MORE work in London than anywhere in the US. I'm beginning to think that working in...

Re: Why move to the US?

I tend to agree with you, except that the massive unemployment was really only stopped in the 1940s when the rest of the world conveniently blew each other to bits, leaving us as the last source of...

Re: What's your LEAST favorite thing about the US?

The absence of a decent amount of holiday time and the pay that would enable one to actually take a decent holiday.

Re: Need first hand info on WI

Re: Britain: an economic train wreck

Actually... more and more scientists are saying this IS the new normal. And GMO crops are already in wide use in the midwest. We don't have enough water in Texas to "frack" the oil out of the...

Re: Britain: an economic train wreck

Why less pessimistic about the US than about Europe? Okay, we (the US) have more land and a lower population density, but we still have stiff competition from countries with low labour costs. ...

It's cheaper to do two bookings and make sure that they are spaced far enough apart in time to transfer. Or just take the...

Re: London stopover question

If you are flying "free" on a BA miles voucher, a stopover is free. I don't see anywhere on ba.com to elect for a stopover - plenty of other extras like seat upgrades or hire cars, but not to do a...
