Honaunau Sunset

Memories of the summers I spent with my grandfather and the sunsets we shared.  This was taken a short walk away from his beach house.  I cried when I took this picture.. I miss him.

Honaunau, Hawaii (July 2007)

Illegal or not?

Today, a friend of mine was talking about someone she knew who is doing pretty well with Cash Gifting.  My friend was thinking about joining on.  Cash gifting always sounds awesome, but the big questions is…

Is it Illegal of not?

Especially, when it comes to taxes.  According to Publication 950 (Rev. August 2007)  You don’t need to file taxes for each gift.  Link: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p950.pdf

Who is doing very well with cash gifting… and for how long?

Daily Horoscope – July 8, 2008

Aries (March 21-April 19): All things are spiritual. So tending to the needs of your soul shouldn’t be something you set aside time to do — every endeavor is a soulful act. You’ll be conscious of this through your day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re an expert at shrugging off seriousness. You’ll get the chance to clown around in front of an appreciative audience. New people to love are in this crowd.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): A basic knowledge of subjects will be enough to get you into interesting conversations at the least, exclusive clubs at the most. You were born with the gift of gab.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your career benefits from some tough market research. This requires you to be objective. You see what people need and ways that you can change what you do to fit those needs.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You understand the larger scheme of things, which enables you to decide fast and act quickly. Many of your loved ones appear to be waffling, which drives you crazy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’re joyous when making other people happy. If what you’re doing doesn’t delight to the degree you thought it would, that’s OK too. Your fun is in the preparation and the giving.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your faith leads you to more daring and wild places than you dared traverse only a few days ago. And so you step off of the safe path into the waiting arms of your inner guide.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Starting something new? You couldn’t ask for a better promise of what the future will bring. Of course, you’re not one to fall easily for promises. You need the proof.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s a lot to be said for fitting in. You may even adopt a new habit in order to seem more in line with what your peers are doing — an indication of how powerful the need for human bonding really is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re inclined to think things through, even if it means not coming to a decision anytime soon. You intuitively know that reckless and abrupt actions have sudden consequences.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Doing exactly what your higher-ups ask of you may in fact be a radical move. You’re being tested. You’ll pass with whatever decision you make, as long as it’s one you believe in.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When it comes to your loved ones, you’d walk through fire or endure any variation of the sort. Apply the same conviction toward the aim of protecting and promoting your ideas.

Today’s birthday (July 8): You hear a calling this year. Your journey is fully underway by the middle of August. New people turn life temporarily topsy-turvy in September. Material signs of progress come in October. Sagittarius and Pisces are your fans. Your lucky numbers are 20, 1, 44, 17 and 18.
