I am also puzzled by the gift tax comment. My understanding is that exceeding the annual limit triggers paperwork (IRS Form 709) and a reduction in your lifetime exemption by the amount you exceeded $19,000 (current limit). In other words, your gift & estate tax exemption is reduced from ~$14 million by the amount you exceeded $19,000.

Caller: “Last night my mother gifted me $53,000, and I’m wondering if I should put that toward my mortgage, which is currently $215,000 at a 2.5% interest rate. My concern is that my parents have not saved well, but they recently inherited over a million dollars and are already spending more per month than they bring in. I'm worried about their future financial stability.” Dave Ramsey: “She’s going to get hammered with gift tax unless she’s got some estate planning going on. Individual can give an individual $19,000 before you get into gift tax of 55%.” “They are about to get their butts kicked in an audit. Really bad. Because they didn’t learn what they were doing. Out of a million, if they gave you $53,000, they are probably okay. I’d put it on my mortgage.” Jade Warshaw: “You’re worried that they’re gonna come knocking on your door when they blow through all this money.” Dave Ramsey: “If your house is paid off because you use this to accelerate the payoff, then when they are in trouble someday, you’ll be in a better position to help them. So I’d put it on the house.”

@Mavs_FFL Anything with better access for fans would be great. One time took more than 30 minutes to get out of the Lexus Garage. Wonder what light rail access will be. AAC itself is fine, but access has been a big issue.

BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are leaving the AAC and downtown Dallas. They will relocate to the Valley View site in North Dallas. #MFFL

@LydiaMoynihan To clarify, in a Texas House hearing in 2021 he said there were six biological sexes (not six genders).

The sound bites of James Talarico are getting a lot of play. • The border needs a welcome mat • Women are neighbors with a uterus • The Bible supports abortion • God is non-binary • There are six genders • The thing he loves most besides friends and family are trans children But they’re an accurate characterization of his views… The policies he is pushing call for eliminating school choice, raising taxes, and universal healthcare.

@JamesMartinSJ @UcheMaryOkoli Take notes on a phone app. Disclosure: I was ADD before drugs were available! 🤣

@UcheMaryOkoli It's either human nature, or the evil spirit drawing you away from God. Focusing on the community or the church itself as a way of seeing God. Enter into the Gospel reading. Also, recall those martyred for attending Mass, and remember how blessed you are to soon receive Christ.

Catholics in the house, I have a question. So during Mass, my mind usually just wanders off. I get distracted very easily. And I feel guilty about it. How do I stop these distractions, please?? It is almost like I can't control it. Please help. 🙏

@edgaralandough Just FYI, in many states, anyone can use a Costco pharmacy, but only members are eligible for the lowest prices from Costco negotiated agreements with suppliers.

Up to 80% off prescriptions through the Costco Member Prescription Program No insurance required. People WITH solid insurance sometimes find Costco’s cash price still beats their copay.

People really think a Costco membership is just for buying 48 rolls of toilet paper at once 😭 It goes SO much deeper than that. Here’s everything your $65/year actually gets you 🧵

@SkersNews What you describe is the definition of a fan, especially one that has season tickets. At any home game you feel the team is competitive and could win. Fans want hope. Players playing hard for the coach and improving week to week is the goal. Football pays for other sports too.

I think most fans understand where Nebraska falls in this new era of college football. The 90s aren't coming back. National championships aren't coming back. Probably even making the title game will never happen. I think what most fans would be happy with long term... -Beat teams that you should. - Always look like a competitive/competent team. Especially vs quality opponents -Be ranked most years. There is no reason Nebraska should be out of the top 25. -Beat ranked teams. At least 1 a year. - Make the playoffs at least once every4- 5 years. I don't think any of that is unreasonable given the resources and money we have. Do you? Would you add anything?

@MattMcMedia Maybe 100 yards. From the back of the Journalism building, on Centennial Mall, you can see Arby's from the back entrance to the Journalism building. Google maps screenshot shown. The parking lot is on the other side of the building, so maybe 0.1 miles by car.

The Arby’s in Lincoln is damn near on campus. I mean that place almost shares a parking lot with the college of journalism

@sashasmileXOO 95?

Number GREAT Then This Let's try and win 500$

@aynii_00 999?

@Hot_Pepper76 Disco Duck

If you could erase one overplayed song from existence, what would it be?

@Arsenal If memory serves, that game was the first time Wigan had ever played at Highbury. At kickoff the USA commentator said something 'the first shall be the last.'

⏪ Our final game at Highbury... When Thierry Henry reigned supreme against Wigan Athletic 👑

@Qudsia_wz 95?

@Norma5387953815 855?

99.9% will fail..!! Tell me the number that is bigger than this..??

@YankeeGunner Well, he did ask nicely during an interview after the game...😉

What a way to get your first goal

@YankeeGunner @dheller91 We all clicked on it, so is the mostly likely case is intentionally misleading.

@dheller91 Intentionally misleading or unintentionally ignorant?

The Premier League is only doing well this year in the Champions League because there's only 1 Premier League team in the Top 21 hardest schedules, according to Opta. The league that is touted as the "toughest in the world" has had the most convenient path to advancing.

@newstart_2024 Another way to describe this is like a quote I read somewhere; "A bee doesn’t waste time trying to convince a fly that honey is sweeter than garbage"

Jordan Peterson's sharp advice for when someone wrongs you and refuses to see it or make amends: Stop talking. Don't cast pearls before swine (Gospel wisdom: If you're not being heard, you're talking to the wrong person—or the wrong version of them). Cease explaining yourself. Shift to silent observation. Watch and listen like a hawk—they'll reveal exactly who they are and what they're after. Your misperception of the situation becomes crystal clear when words fall on deaf ears. Often, the real insight comes not from more debate... but from strategic withdrawal and keen attention. 0:59 clip on knowing when to stop trying to be understood 👇 Ever had to go silent to finally see someone's true colors? How did it play out?

@Hot_Pepper76 The real story is that the theme reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969. I had the 45. TV themes used to be so, so good. Time Life had a CD of popular TV themes. Mission Impossible. "Mr. Ed" -- as a kid we used to sing along. Miss those.

This is the theme song that I MEANT to share! The original Hawaii5-0. Who remembers the original cast and is the remake any good?

@crossguy2005 @Hot_Pepper76 Thanks. My son lives in Lincoln and plays acoustic guitar (recreationally). Maybe I will buy him one as a gift!

@Eric_A_Karl @Hot_Pepper76 Still selling guitars. Online.

Written 57 years ago by Rick Evans in 1964, reportedly in 10 minutes in the back of a VW van after partying. A chilling sci-fi prophecy imagining humanity’s future in 1,000-year increments… and it has come true. Name the band.

@Hot_Pepper76 Somewhere I read Carly S said it is a composite of men. Warren Beatty was one of them per a Carly Simon interview. To my knowledge she never revealed the others.

Released in 1972, this cheeky, unforgettable hit has kept listeners guessing for decades about who exactly inspired those iconic lyrics. Do you know who Carly Simon was singing about?
