    Yeah, and if I remember correctly BettyC is in my state, Massachusetts, which means he gets hit with both a state AND a Federal tax penalty.

    Let's remember, guys, unless those jerks...er...ladies and gentlemen down in Washington DC pass a replacement bill, which does not appear to be anytime soon, AND His Royal Orangeness signs it, the ACA aka Obamacare is still the law of the land. Let us also remember that the author of the template that was used to create Obamacare was our (Republican) state governor, Mitt Romney. We have both Obamacare rules and Romneycare rules up here. He won't like not having insurance at all come April 15th.

    Yes, that's right I'm in MA, tho' some of my EEs are RI residents. They don't care - they say the tax penalty is cheaper than the plan premium. They can always afford their cigarettes, though!

    I'd really like to see this single-payer idea gain momentum.

    My claims supervisor at the insurance company was named Crook.

    How about a chef named Stu.

    I can see this turning into a Who's on First routine. Call the police and say "we have a Crook here who stole some money." What's her name? I just told you!

    Speaking of that:

    If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch,
    "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:

    COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

    ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

    COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking
    about buying a computer.

    ABBOTT: Mac?

    COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

    ABBOTT: Your computer?

    COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

    ABBOTT: Mac?

    COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

    ABBOTT: What about Windows?

    COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

    ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

    COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

    ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

    COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

    ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

    COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
    proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

    ABBOTT: Office.

    COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

    ABBOTT: I just did.

    COSTELLO: You just did what?

    ABBOTT: Recommend something.

    COSTELLO: You recommended something?

    ABBOTT: Yes.

    COSTELLO: For my office?

    ABBOTT: Yes.

    COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

    ABBOTT: Office.

    COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

    ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

    COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm
    sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

    ABBOTT: Word.

    COSTELLO: What word?

    ABBOTT: Word in Office.

    COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

    ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

    COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

    ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W".

    COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some
    straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I
    can track my money with?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

    ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

    COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

    ABBOTT: Money.

    COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

    ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.

    COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

    ABBOTT: One copy.

    COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

    ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

    COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

    ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

    (A few days later)

    ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

    COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

    ABBOTT: Click on "START".............

    Would anyone like to recommend payroll software that we can use to do our own payroll?

    How much is budgeted to buy the new system?

    How many people are paid?

    What is your pay frequency?

    Is everyone paid on the same schedule?

    Do you employees is more than one location?

    Budget, I don't know whatever it takes I guess.
    50 people some paid weekly, some semi-monthly and some monthly.
    We do have two locations but each would be separate.

    There are at least five I know about.

    We discussed this at our last county bar association meeting.

    My law firm just began using On Pay, the others are comparable.

    One of the other partners suggested On Pay, another wanted Quick Books, On Pay won the vote 6-3.

    Our office manager negotiated a better rate.
    I'm sure they all are open to discussing discounts.

    Great article discussing payroll software.

    Don't know, but if you find one let me know.

    The rig job I have to go through to get ours to process a guy who has three local taxes is ridiculous.

    Well I guess we are stuck for now because payroll is part of our entire package of products so cancelling wouldn't save any money. Grr. We will be shopping that entire package though. Thanks all.

    Sadly packaged product suites keep you handcuffed to one company.

    Beyond that little ploy, cost is another.

    Ahhh, no way avoid "gettin' got", is it? :D

    For those of you who are from the old AHI board, you may remember a poster named Maven. Maven's dog crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier today, and she's just learned that her 90 year old mother, who has been in a skilled nursing facility for the last few weeks, has contracted double pneumonia and will likely not be with us long. Whatever Higher Power you acknowledge, point Maven out to Him or Her.
