My father passed away and left a little money to me and my two siblings. It should work out to be a bout $45k each. My sister is the only listed beneficiary, so the funds will flow to her then to me and my brother by checks written from her to us. We are listed in the will as equal thirds in the will. The $135k comes from 3 sources: $100k life insurance, $50k in an unsual real estate deal, and $15k in cash; minus $15k in funeral expenses. I'm pretty sure my sister isn't going to a have an income tax exposure, but I'm concerned my brother and I will be subject to income tax on the $45k each. Is there anything we can do to shield the inheritance from taxes? Am I overthinking this?

Scorsese really shows how crummy the mob world is in The Departed. Leo's line, "it's almost a futile enterprise" really nails it.

If someone told me to go get my shinebox, I would assume they want to tangle...with me, and/or stabbed in the neck with a pen....by me.

There are no wrong answers here, but post your favorite. I was blown away by this one in Casino Royal. Solange Dimitrios (Caterina Murino) (This thread can move to IPIHB if needed).

Uh, yeah. Truck stealin' aint a light accusation.

In general: no. Everyone sacks-up and deals with life as an adult. I graduated and married at 23. Paid off $50k in student loans and bought a house at 25. Although I know of one couple that accepts very large cash gifts from their parents regularly....like $30k. They might lean on the parents for more.

I found some old notebooks. No wonder why I didn’t have a foreign language requirement.

It can be. There’s some texture powder that goes on last.

I like the Western Music class. Did Willie or Merle sit in for 302L to steal your lyrics?

I guess I'm dense. I don't get po elvis.

That is not how it worked out for me. I was the pledge that knew how to work and build stuff and cook. Spring pledge class with only 6 dudes vs 200 kind of sucks.

Taking M427K and M427L at the same time was a trip. Vector Calculus is pretty cool though. It's basically how FPS video games model the world of light and physics. Imagine a sheet of graph paper reflected off of a the curved gold visor of an astronaut. That's coordinate system transfer. Then make it all move correctly.

Actually I think there is a copy paste error. I did take 408D spring 98, but I also pledged SigEp and did not pass. 408C was tough too, but not as bad. I got a B with a 34% average. 1500 student curve I think.

It was pretty easy to get an unofficial transcript for UT. Looking back on all of that work I put it 20 years ago, I probably should have done something more practical with my brain. Post your curriculum if you want. At least it's the season for nostalgia and regrats.

A medium inside a large would be smarter. ASE 340: Boundry Layer Therory and Heat Transfer.

We got a new pup just in time for Christmas. 8 week old Welsh Terrier. We named him Stetson that has already shortened to Steady/ Teddy. Day 2 of potty/crate training. Timing is great with everyone on vacation from work and school.
