To put it another way, there may be a sizable minority of men who want children AND full-time housewives.
 
But...if a man DOESN'T want any little dependents, why in the world would he want to support an ADULT dependent?
 
(Except, maybe, if he has unusual needs, such as a lot of home entertaining of bosses and clients, as required in his job. THAT might make the homemaker's role a 40-hour job. Or maybe he wants all his bedsheets ironed, as some pre-boomer housewives used to do.)

WTF is with all the Las Vegas posts? I doubt you will ever go there.
 
Now thankfully when I spent time in Vegas recently I had a kitchen so I could just make breakfast in the hotel. 4 weeks would not have been possible spending $50 a day on food.

However when I first went in in 2019 they didn't have any dollar menu items.

I'm biased on coffee, especially concerning that with caffeine, but remember testing out best procedures and came up with: 1) roasted de-caffeine beans from Columbia, 2) coarse grind you do yourself, 3) generous coffee to water equation, with low heat and long infusion time, going by color of water. Best coffee maker: an old-fashioned glass perkolator.
 
Length of over-all procedures was greatly reduced by use of coffee filter in holder, simply going with right water temperature and length of time brewing, and preferring distilled water; bing, bang, boom.

My problem with Costco is that, to use your Costco City Bank
Visa card, you must first have a Costco Warehouse card, which is $60. Consequently, I have given notice NOT to automatically renew my Costco card, even though Costco now does deliver, AIUI.
 
Where I live, there's a monthly shopping bus that goes to different malls, and Walmart seems to be cheaper than Costco, might even have a bank inside. Can use a special FREE bus service for appointments such as medical, or pay $3 to go elsewhere; does drop off and pick-ups.

Even if you ignore the 4% rebate.
 
The drawback is that you have to get there before the store opens unless
you want to wait in a long line. Something I hope people don't learn
(they seem to be unaware of it so far): The hoses are long enough
(unlike Arco) that you can use the LEFT lane and still have the nozzle
reach your orifice.

On making my will, with the help of a volunteer legal service, I visited the Salvation Army local office and I think learned that:
1) SA will hold a copy of your will;
2) SA will not act as your will executor, normally;
3) SA will act as your executor if you donate all your possessions to them. Not sure what possessions are required for SA to act as executor.
 
I did invest in a cremation policy with Alaska Cremation Society, but since learned that they require an insurance policy that will act on your behalf and won't return the $1,200 paid, so watch out for that.

Need actual information to answer the question.
 
Profitable or unprofitable positions? Short term or long term capital
gains? What tax bracket is the taxpayer in? Any existing capital loss
carryover?

After thinking about it, I signed on to receive a free Thanksgiving dinner, complete with turkey.
 
Turkey arrived yesterday, I thawed it immediately, which you're not supposed to do, just put in refrigerator, and went so far as to run cold water on it. Couldn't figure out how to remove the neck, which somehow was doubled-back into the cavity.
 
Removed turkey after 4 hours at 325 degrees, and found it dried up;; should have gone for 3 hours or 275 degrees, I suppose.
 
Anyway, I carved it up into manageable parts I wrapped in foil and put in refrigerator. Mixed all the giblets into a gravy using gravy pouch that came with the turkey, and put into gravy remaining small bits I scraped from the carcass: not bad. Neck and wings, though, were too dry to use, so refrained from chopping up carcass to make a soup or something.
 
Still have a frozen pumpkin pie and Cool Whip for Thanksgiving Day.
