well, that's neece, not nice.

We never hear about the "sister" city, Nefeu.

It might depend on the plan, but the one I'm on locks you in for a lump sum for the year. It doesn't really matter when in the year you spend it.

Really? Cool!

Absolutely. The flip side is you spend it or you lose it, so a case like yours where you have predictable expenses makes for the budgeting good.

The full amount is available as long as the purchases were made prior to your termination date.

Right, which is of course what I meant to say without actually saying it.

Really? Cool! That means I can get my glasses right away as well as schedule my dental cleaning.

Yep. Sign up for it, and the full amount is available on January 1.

I've had my two cups of coffee for the morning, and now I feel slightly manic. Plus I've been productive at work, as I've solved the mystery of the EarnedProfitX field (hint: It depends on the Master/Sub status of the Job).

As of Jan. 1, you can use the entire $600 even though you haven't deposited that much yet.

That is not how mine works. Mine is also not spend it or lose it.

Do you/should you/how to you cite things in a letter?

I want to write the sentance " In their expanded role, they work in collaboration with the surgeon and health care team members to achieve optimal patient outcomes"

I am taking this from the definition of the position by the accrediting body

“ a perioperative registered nurse who works in collaboration with the surgeon and health care team members to achieve optimal patient outcomes. The RNFA must have acquired the necessary knowledge, judgment, and skills specific to the expanded role of RNFA clinical practice"

I don't want to paraphrase too much because I am not a nurse, and in nursing every word seems to have a very specific meaning.

I think there is a difference between an HSA and a FSA. The FSA is like what ChiKat is talking about where the whole amout is available, but you have to spend it all. The HSA you only have available to you what you have deposited, but it rolls over from year to year. Usually HSA's go with really high deductible plans.

2005 gay marriage ban in Texas may have made ALL marriage unconstitutional:

Barbara Ann Radnofsky, a Houston lawyer and Democratic candidate for attorney general, says that a 22-word clause in a 2005 constitutional amendment designed to ban gay marriages erroneously endangers the legal status of all marriages in the state.

The amendment, approved by the state legislature and overwhelmingly ratified by voters, declares that "marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman." But the troublemaking phrase, as Radnofsky sees it, is Subsection B, which declares:

"This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage."

Architects of the amendment included the clause to ban same-sex civil unions and domestic partnerships. But Radnofsky, who was a member of the powerhouse Vinson & Elkins law firm in Houston for 27 years until retiring in 2006, says the wording of Subsection B effectively "eliminates marriage in Texas," including common-law marriages.

Heh. Oops...
