Wow, not only did I enroll in school, but I entered someone else's e-mail address, then entered it AGAIN on the confirmation line.  I even checked, you are blocked from cutting and pasting the e-mail addresses, so this took some extra stupidity.  I logged in and changed the e-mail address and password.

Tens of millions of American workers have access to an employer-provided retirement plan. While most participate, the majority don't contribute the maximum they are permitted.

That's too bad because, as is often said, whatever you gain is equal to what you contribute. But in the case of retirement savings, you can...

Martin,

Here is the info for the hotel for the triathlon in case you are interested. The reservation is under my name for a Studio apartment with a Queen size bed with pull out couch and a mini kitchen (cook top stove but no oven), and Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom.

Check in Fri, 30 Sep

Check out Sun 2 Oct

Price is $313.92 for the 2 nights.

Here is the link to the lodge.

http://www.fernwoodhotel.com/lodging.php

I am only sending this to you b/c the lodge is booked and you guys mentioned you are still figuring out your lodging. If you are interested, I can change to someone’s name.

If you are not interested, ABSOLUTELY NO BIG DEAL, they will allow me to cancel the reservation since it is far enough in advance.

Let me know either way. Bummed I will miss it, but Doug is pretty sure that his flight is during this time, so I will be heading to NC to get him on the plane.

Thanks again for coming up last week. It truly meant a lot to me and was a big help having your support. I got a beautiful letter from Tatiana and your folks this week. Truly touching and so thoughtful. You have an amazing support system as well and I am lucky to be a part of it.

Hi Martin

I hope you are well and that Marbles and Scrabble have settled in to their new home. I hope your son likes them!

I've notified my vets, Companion Care, Derby, that I've rehomed Marbles and Scrabble. They've have made a note on their records to say its ok for your vets to contact them to transfer their history over to your vets. Then you will have the full details of Marbles' recent operation. Companion Care's number is 01332 206378.

I've also cancelled my pet insurance with Pet Plan. They have been good if you wanted to reinsure Marbles and Scrabble with them under your name, unless you already have insurance elsewhere. When Marbles had her operation it cost over £400 but I just paid the £55 insurance excess and Pet Plan only took a couple of weeks to process the claim. Please let me know if you need any more info from me.

I'm sure Marbles and Scrabble will be well loved and have a happy life with you and your family, and I'm so grateful for that, but if for any reason it doesn't work out and you no longer want them please let me know.

Thank you

Leanne

Looks like I'm making more travel reservations. Called HOTELS.COM twice to try an get this fixed so I'm not being e-mailed with reminders. They won't do a thing, told me I should get a new e-mail address. However, I can cancel the reservation, which I will do at 11 AM CST tomorrow. I e-mailed everyone in Ireland that has been e-mailing me for the past two years. BTW - this guy has also made travel plans in the past with Aer Lingus in my name, among other things.

If your journey also involves carriage by other airlines, you should contact them for information on their limits of liability.

10-15-2008 - I've hired a tax barrister...

Got this letter in my e-mail today...

M Brennan, Esq My Ref MB
Thornfield House,
Crowsley Road,
Lower Shiplake,
Oxfordshire,
RG9 1UJ. 14th October 2008

Dear Martin,

I have just realised, after finding my note of telephone conversation hidden under a pile of papers, that I have not replied to your phone call of some time ago for which I apologise.

Answering the points raised the answers are as follows:

Personal tax allowances for children

All of a child’s income is chargeable on the child and he or she has full entitlement to personal allowances and reliefs. In most cases only the personal allowances will be available. Returns and claims may be made by a child in respect of income within his control but otherwise these are the responsibility of his parent or guardian who is also liable for payment of any tax in default of payment by the child.

Dependent Relative Relief

Dependent relative relief is not available after 5th April 1988 unless the residence was acquired before that date and the following conditions were met by that date:

the dependant relative must occupy the dwelling house rent free and without any other consideration,

Only one dependent’s dwelling house can qualify at any one time,

A husband and wife can claim for only one such dwelling house between them,

The dwelling house must be the sole residence of the dependent relative, and

The dwelling house must have been acquired before 6th April 1988 and the conditions above fulfilled in relation to a dependent relative before that date.

From the information that you advised to me being that the property was purchased in 1987 and the dependent relative lived in it as their sole residence then the property would qualify for the relief so long as all the other conditions mentioned above were met. If this was the situation then the profit of £200,000 (sale proceeds of £270,000 less purchase price £70,000) would not be taxable and be treated as similar to the position of a principal private residence.

Inheritance tax

The rules on Inheritance tax and the availability to give away assets in ones lifetime are that each individual has a tax free amount of £312,000 before Inheritance tax commences that usually applies at the time of death. However lifetime gifts are allowable and no inheritance tax will be chargeable on those gifts if the donor survives seven years after the gift was made. If the donor dies within the seven years then a percentage of the full charge will be made as follows:

0 – 3 years 100%
3 – 4 years 80%
4 – 5 years 60%
5 – 6 years 40%
6 – 7 years 20%

Once the seven years has elapsed then the overall allowance of £312,000 is reinstated.

I trust that this answers the questions raised and if you need further clarification do not hesitate in contacting me.

Yours sincerely,

Alan Patmore

8-7-2008 - I'm up for a promotion

Ok, this is one of my favorite types of e-mails, it has a warning at the bottom that includes this phrase, "Any unauthorised use, disclosure, copying or alteration of this email is strictly forbidden." Ohhhh..... I'm forbidden.... By whom? Looks like this came from the UK, what are they going to do if I use this message? These types of warnings always make me laugh.

Evidently I'm a police officer today, and I'm up for a promotion, hope I do well.

Winter 2007 - Matchmaker make me a match

In November/December last year, someone signed up for Matchmaker with my e-mail address. I neglected to save the profile, but did download their profile picture. Come on, if you are going to pretend to be me, at least get some better looking chicks. Damn, there goes my rep again!
