We pay $6.72 a month for our no frills Ooma service. It is connected to a network of 4 wireless phones throughout the house which also acts as an intercom. Also has automatic voicemail if the power did go out. For the small cost, it is well worth the benefits of having this number to give out...

The high tax rates the governments are levying for the privilege of legalization will/are tending to limit profits. Cannabis may not be the quick windfall investors are anticipating. For example, in Colorado; Retail marijuana is subject to a 15 percent sales tax, levied on retail sales, and a...

I am going to guess "statins" - cholesterol lowering drugs?

It could be because of different sales tax rates? I know on receipts in Illinois, food is separated from other items due to different sales tax rates from other items and some items are not taxed at all (magazines, newspapers). Since the different amounts don't correspond to the items, this...
