I did not think about tax preparation! I have always done our taxes, so for the first time I am wondering if I should get an accountant set up now for this, I will have to think about that. Our taxes are pretty straight forward and I have kept good records. I guess my son would just have to...

14 with the addition of Hot Springs National Park this month.

I forgot that I work out with a personal trainer twice a month at a total cost of $140 monthly. I have been meeting with the same person for 15 years and it looks like her rates are very reasonable.

I have a dear friend that had it discovered while checking something else recently so I am praying for the same good outcome as your roommate. He is doing chemo now and then the surgery.

I am very sorry for the sudden loss of your friend.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, we will be there next week and am looking for a nice 2 hour or so hike for my sister and I to do. I'm looking at the park map and there seem to be plenty of choices. We are not there for long and part of our group can't hike so it will need to be fairly short. I would say we can both do a...
