    Depending on the level of wealth your family has and if your mom wants to support your sisters before and after her death, an irrevocable trust with either you or a 3rd party as the trustee handling distributions is an option. When my grandparents passed, my mother was recovering from drug...

    Yeah I was looking at something like that. Seattle has a program for properties where the roof runoff goes into the sewer. They'll pay you to divert it into a cistern and/or rain gardens. So I'll just have someone do that and it'll basically be free. Be RainWise - King County

    It's the law here in Seattle. Water/Sewer/Trash in the landlord's name. I have keep telling my tenant every fucking year to stop watering the grass and just let it die in the summer. Probably going to pull it out and do some other landscaping because I'm tired of my water bill spiking in the...

    No and it's bullshit. I've been wearing contacts for 20+ years and still get charged for "fittings". I've worn the same damn contacts for like 10 years. They fit. Assholes.

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    I'm super excited for Wright to play, but I'm a little sad it looks like Geekie is going to be the last man out. He's such a good faceoff man and would be a good 4th line center.

    I'm a White Sox fan primarily. I'm a very passive Mariner's fan because I live in Seattle and have friends that like to go to games. So since the White Sox shit the bed this year, lets go M's!

    MLB 2022: Georgia Gets the Last Laugh

    I agree with most of what you say here. I'm not sure what they do with the current lineup though. You've realistically got 4 players for 1B/DH between Eloy, Abreu, Vaughn and Sheets. As good as he's been for the team, I think you let Abreu walk after this season, Vaughn is your 1B, Eloy DHs...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    The worst franchise in sports has to be the Arizona Coyotes. So mismanaged the league had to buy them for a bit. Then the new owner is such a shitbag that he doesn't pay Glendale for use of the stadium plus taxes. Pisses them off enough that they don't renew the lease and now they're a...

    This is false. The ACH system is overnight or at worst 2-3 days depending on your bank. With Wells' size, it's likely your brokerage firm has an account at WF and has the amount even that same day. They're choosing to not make it all available right away because an ACH can be reversed up to 2...

    I would be absolutely shocked if the new stadium in Arlington Heights doesn't have a dome. That's the only way Chicago gets a Superbowl so that alone plus concerts and other events would make the dome be worth it.
