The alarms go off whether you are willing to pay taxes or not. Deposit $5000 twice and the alarms will go off. Deposit $3000 every week for a month and the alarms will go off. Pay cash for a condo and then put it up for sale and not only will the alarms go off but they will charge you with heavier charges once they figure out what and how many laws you have violated.

That may be true but not from the IRS.

Here's a novel thought. Deposit it all in the bank with one deposit, then pay the taxes you ACTUALLY owe.

The point I'm trying to make is a bit simpler. Why wouldn't the money just get direct deposited? Why would anyone have to pay $1000 for every supposed $100,000 for 'security' purposes? Why would legit funds be given to "selected" individuals if they were actually U.S. Emergency Funds.

Google 'EBS' and there is an actual emergency fund that anyone can apply for. My guess is that these guys act as a broker for you and illegally get you these funds. They cash the checks and take a piece along with your security cost.

The more you look, the more you find. I'll drop it here.

I have an emergency fund that I keep in the bank for my emergencies.
I have never heard of EBS or anybody else giving away money for someone elses emergency fund.

I've carefully tracked leprechauns for years. I'm ready to snatch up all the pots of gold when necessary.

The federal government has set aside $3.7B for emergency assistance to individuals. Could be that these guys are using a different acronym.

There are four ways you can apply for FEMA disaster assistance:

1. Fill out a DisasterAssistance.gov application online.
2. Apply using the FEMA app. Download the free app from your smart phone's app store.
3. Apply by phone at 1-800-621-3362 (TTY: 1-800-462-7585).
4. Apply in person at a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC).

Negative Vibes Today: Dealing with the department of health for the third time on the same damn issue. I provide for our homes several ready-mix chemicals for cleaning. The two in question are a neutral floor cleaner and a quaternary disinfectant. The Quat is required to read 200 PPM, these dumb asses keep using the quat test strips to check the neutral floor cleaner. then attempt to gig the home because they are not getting a reading. I have explained to them several times the floor cleaner is neutral and quat when tested exceed the 200 PPM. I explained this to the inspector and still he writes them up because he does not understand. So now I'm at the Executive Council meeting explaining to my EC and the DOH EC that there inspection team doesn't understand, and that same SOB tried to say he should be getting a reading. A reading on a neutral product. Dumb Asses

With a heaping of arrogance thrown in...

LMAO Yes it is, but dammit they should know. They can shut places down over dumbasses.

Ask them if they would like to go before a judge and explain what they don't know and then explain where they get their "expertise".

First thing the judge will or an attorney will ask them is, "Do you have a formal education in Chemistry? or Chemical Engineering?"

If they don't understand that a neutral substance is similar to water, they'll never understand why a test strip doesn't change color and allow them to see something that they can compare the color to. I'd hate to see these guys stick a test strip in a swimming pool and try to figure out seven different spots.

Just wondering. 1st, is this a ph test they are doing? If so, is it not possible to ad an acid or base to the neutral formula to make it read how they want?
My recommendation is to call the manufacturer and tell them your story. The manufacturer can give you a solution or provide a letter that you can show the DOH. If the DOH has a letter, they are covered.

I'm getting just a little excited.

Tomorrow morning, a construction crew will be here at my house.

Basically, an excavator, a Bobcat and a dump truck to start.

They will be digging a hole in back yard 13' wide and 26' long and 7' deep.

By August 9th, I will have a brand new 12' x 24' inground swimming pool. The existing lanai with be redone, the screens will be removed and replaced with a new 18' x 40' lanai. There will be a 10' patio beyond the far end of the pool and eventually I'll have a an outdoor kitchen installed.

When I inquired about the same pool last summer (2023), I was told that there would be a 10-12 month wait and it would cost me $135,000. What a difference a year makes. Signed the contract June 12 and the permits were approved July 26. Cost with top of the line pump and water heater and all of the do-dads (pool light, exterior lights, dry well and emergency drainage)as well as best gunite and surfacing is $62,500.

Just hope the deer will keep coming for apples and carrots.

Ok, It's a Lanai because it's in Florida. Anywhere else it's an overhead, pergola, roof, screened porch, whatever!
When Yankees move south, they fall in love with the word "lanai"

Rasin Bran in the morning, Spinach based salad for lunch, sure way to clear the bowels.

Blueberries are a super food. High in fiber with no cholesterol. High in vitamins C and K High in antioxidants too.

They can help protect against heart disease and cancer while improving brain function. Good for the immune system and reduce the risk of diabetes.

Evidently frozen blueberries are better than fresh for the health benefits.

I love the way blueberries look when a bird shits on a white BMW!

Technically not true however frozen retains nutrient longer. Just thawed blueberries are healthier than store bought because the berries spend a lot of time within the supply chain. Fresh picked trumps them all.

Careful here or @cheerupcharlie will be warning us about the danger of blue balls.

Well that seems weird
