I've been having the same script error, for about a month, on both work and home computers. Logging in does fix the problem, probably due to less internet advertisements. I'm wondering if one of your internet ads is causing the script problems. Every time that I'm not logged in and try to view...

According to credit.com, for a reverse mortgage, "credit score, savings, and income are not used in the loan calculation. Instead, your age, health, home value, and home equity are taken into consideration." Maybe that's an option for your father? Making Sense of Reverse Mortgages | Credit.com

+1 Happened to me in 2010. :frown:

I filed this year using Free File Fillable Forms, and one of the emails they sent me stated: "Now that your return has been accepted, in 72 hours, you will be able to track your refund at Where's My Refund? on the IRS website. ... The IRS issues refunds every Friday, so if you check Where's My...

Another option: You could volunteer in a library to get your foot in the door. Visibility is key. It's often said, it's not what you know, but who you know. It would also give you something in the field to put on your resume. A strategy similar to this has worked for me three times in my career.

I-Bonds seem like a good choice for me right now, as a counter-balance to my aggressive 401k choices. Here's my plan: 2011: bought $5000 in paper I-Bonds a couple weeks ago (received last week) 2011: will buy $5000 in I-Bonds through Treasury Direct as soon as I receive my access card...

I've also been considering I-Bonds. Is it once per calendar year that you can buy, or once per rolling year? For example, could someone get $5k in paper I-Bonds at a bank and $5k in I-Bonds through TreasuryDirect on October 31, 2011, and then also get another $5k in I-Bonds through...

Is there a dental college near where you live? If so, that might be an option to find alternatives, or a second opinion. The schools often offer two options: students (they are supervised by an instructor who is a dentist, and each step is inspected by the instructor), and faculty practice...

Glad to hear it turned out well. I think you'll feel better about your working relationship with your manager from now on, now that the ice has been broken.

One question keeps coming to mind as I have read through this discussion: After your "fix" on Monday, how will it get explained that the system suddenly started working faster? Especially since this has gotten such attention that people are assigned to research the problem. It seems likely it...

Sorry I can't stay and talk ... my doctor told me I am allergic to dogs... the glue in the hallway carpet... her perfume... the dusty floor... or some other convenient (fictitious) allergy... that causes terrible migraines... sinus trouble... itchy eyes...
