Grasping at straws hoping someone on here can help me sort out a tax problem from 2017. By sort out, I mean put me in touch with a pro you recommend. Here is what is going on: I used to work as in independent contractor for Cisco Systems. I worked 1099 so I was not a W2 employee for any...

Totally random, but I ordered t-shirts for RDToy and my in-laws and me for the Indiana game this weekend. I never saw anything about how we are actually supposed to get the shirts. Does anyone know? Do we just pick them up somewhere on Saturday?

Heard about this from a friend of mine who is/was on the board for the business school's daytime MBA program. Wake Forest University Hones Its Focus for Changing MBA Market So, Wake will still offer the flex MBA you can get while working, but you can no longer attend a daytime, full-time...

Hey guys, anyone know now that they won't be able to attend the Syracuse game on October 18? We are bringing some friends (yes they are Syracuse fans) with us to that game, but we only have our two tickets. We need two more. I know I can just snag them at the game, but I feel better if I have...

Stumbled upon this article on photos based on the nightmares of children. Some of these are truly frightening to me. Others, just weird. I find this one horribly frightening:

Wife and I are headed to the Windy City in the morning. We'll be there all weekend before she heads home and I stay put for a work event there. We are staying in the Loop South area, at the Chicago Hilton. Right now the plan is to check out the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier tomorrow, plus eat...

I know there is a lot of talk on these boards about the escalation of costs at Wake. How many of you think we are truly on the edge of an education bubble that will soon pop, and what happens when it does? How many of you think that there is no education and that the rate of return on a college...

So here's the deal. I have read several articles and have a lot of disparate pieces available to me, but I want some feedback from folks that have actually ditched cable/Dish/DirecTV. RDToy and I are moving in roughly a month and we are considering just buying out the rest of our DirecTV...

So, I know people are tired of my questions about Charlotte real estate, but it looks like RDToy and I are finally ready to seriously look at places. Of course, I turn to the knowledge of the pit. Does anyone have a great recommendation for a buyer's agent in Charlotte? We will primarily be...

Anyone know anything about Movement mortgage in Charlotte, good or bad? They were recommended to me by a realtor here and I can't find a ton of information about them online.

So, I just got this forwarded to me. It is a legit "goodbye" letter from someone leaving our company. I have redacted a bit of information, but other than that, I have not changed this at all. Pretty awesome. Well it is finally my turn to be sooo arrogant that I send a goodbye message to a HUGE...

Almighty Pit of knowledge. I have a quick question for the accountants among us, if anyone is actually on here the week prior to tax deadline... PM me for details please. Short version is I have to pay a large lump sum to the IRS and I need to know where my cutoff is for it making more sense...

So most of you know RDToy and I moved to Charlotte last summer. We rented a house in Charlotte and it's perfectly fine. We are in no rush to move, but it looks like we are going to settle here and not move back to Raleigh/move elsewhere (although as soon as I put this in writing it will probably...

I have ended up in Winston-Salem for the next few days instead of being in northern California as originally planned. (My mom ended up in the hospital here so I am in town. It is hopefully nothing so no worries there.) With that said, anything going on in Winston tonight? Tomorrow night? I am...

So I am in Santa Clara for a few days for work. I really don't eat at fast food places anymore, but I have never been to an In-N-Out Burger in my life. There is one just down the street from my hotel. What say ye, Pit. Do I forgo healthy eating have at the In-N-Out Burger while I am here in...

Members of the Pit, Though she hasn't come on here and talked about much herself, RDToy's company shut down back in the fall and she has been looking for new employment since then. (Well, she took a break over the holidays, but really started looking in January.) She has a sales background in...

So, I am thinking about finally getting a tattoo. Those of you with them, please show them off here. I am looking for inspiration. I will probably end up sticking with my blank canvas self, but still. What you got Pit?

So I know we have discussed this before, but here goes again. For illustration, here is the scenario. There are three urinals in the bathroom. We will call them, from left to right, A, B and C. I think we all generally agree if you come into the bathroom and no one is in there, that you take...

Normally I don't bother with these claims of plagarism amongst songwriters, but I happen to be a big fan of Jason Isbell. As such, I follow him on Twitter and saw his tweets about his accusation that Dierks Bentleys' new song "Home" is a rip off of Isbell's song "In a Razor Town." I went and...

What are the pit's thoughts on working with a personal trainer. I have never worked with one but am thinking of doing so now that I was forced to change gym memberships. What are your experiences. Worth it? Overrated? Worthless? Discuss.
