I saw those when I was in a Dollar Tree here in Sacramento. Not sure
why you'd need it unless you don't have a broadband connection. I
suspect that even if you installed it when you had a broadband
connection there'd be one of those bait/switch deals for the "advanced"
features, just $10 more. Myself...I'll be doing the usual e-File via
one of the free providers listed on the IRS site; so far so good (only
paid a preparer once, HR Block, to see if they'd find more than I
usually do. $40 later the answer was no.).

Not sure about "fair" but I'd think your question (and how to avoid a
$40,000 tax bill in the future) would be better addressed talking to a
tax professional. It sounds like you could probably afford the fee to
hire one.

Suggest to him that you just quit your job....you can't NEED the
money.
There are some underlying issues at work here. Counseling might be
the proper course of events.

ING is now depositing my check, in US dollars, into my US dollar
account.
Before they had been putting it into my Canadian account.
When should I transfer the money into my Canadian account? The amounts
are small,
but I'm thinking even if I wait until the exchange rate goes up 1%% that
is a few dollars.
Is there an easy way of figuring out when to do this?
I've never had to think about this before.

yes. your local zoning, building, and fire codes cover all the
rules for fireplaces.
generally speaking, fireplaces lose more heat than they generate
unless you have a franklin stove or something similar.

Pull the batteries immediately, then let it dry thoroughly in a warm place
(over a lamp, for example). This may take a few days; you can accelerate
the process by blowing a hair dryer into it via the battery compartment
for several minutes.

Most new cars recommend 3000 miles under severe conditions. For normal
use, 7500 is typical today as stated in my GM and Hyundai manuals. I've
been doing that in my cars for years. Works well for my driving conditions.
The oil change places give you that little sticker for 3000 miles under any
condition because they want to sell oil changes.
The manual also states that you should use genuine GM washer fluid too. Do
you?

No. It's the same BS you posted 14 other places.
