    Who wrote the marital rights laws in Iowa?

    Married filing jointly status on a tax return which saves a TON of money in most scenarios. Automatic shot caller if I needed a medical call made. In theory it isnt a medical POA but if a doctor needs decisions now spouse carries a hell of a lot more weight. No "power" struggle where I'm a...

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    If they have the coolflo gear that I had 20 years ago they're the most comfortable people on the field. As soon as you get it wet it gets cold.

    Who wrote the marital rights laws in Iowa?

    Actually....yes I have. With my wife. Who has the pre-nup very much in her favor. Did not do a post-nup as our situation changed because we are both contributing to all the things we have made happen. A post-nup would very much favor me but I'm willing to take on the risk because she has...

    Does Pollard Belong On "CyRushmore"? Hell No*

    I'm pretty sure the media room in Hilton is named after Pete?

    The city is tearing it down. The ask is to the community to donate funds to rebuild.

    I believe the city is getting stuck with the clean up bill regardless and they have an interest in getting it done as quickly as possible so people don't enter an area they've already determined is hazardous. I'm guessing the LLC only owns the building that now has zero value so suing the LLC to...

    I mean in theory you just need to raise 20% or whatever it will take to get a bank to sign off... But a business that wasn't making it before can't magically take on a mortgage payment that would be thousands of dollars per month. The first thing that needs to happen for it to become fully...

    MBB season tkt renewal

    They should be able to tell. If you have 17 games and the tickets are transferred to 17 other people you are scalping them. I have a set of 4. 2 get transferred to my brother. If Im selling the other 17 sets to 17 other people they should jack up the price and try to capture the scalpers...

    Inflation alone they should go up 4%. And with how poor our budget is compared to those we compete against it makes sense they have to figure out every way possible to generate revenue. Personally I'd like to see them jack up prices on obvious scalpers.

    I believe the City funded the lot cleanup. Haul out of contaminated soil from its days long ago as a service station. The building itself looks like absolute ****. With respect to Starbucks, was told today it was not insured by someone who would know. I think the fact that their posts say "we...

    I believe the fire chief came up with that. $175k structure and $100k for everything inside. I would be shocked if it could be rebuilt for that.

    I would guess someone is going to have to cough up some money to rebuild and reopen Starbucks in Nevada unless they have a wicked good insurance policy. I'd be surprised by that because they haven't put a dime into the building in 15 years. I would guess insurance check <<<< cost to rebuild.

    I don’t know now but a company I worked for previously did underground on a bunch of Kwik Trips in MN/WI and you got 70 days from the date they told you that you were starting to when they expected customers to be walking through the door. They paid promptly and were typically fair but the...
