What is your favorite meal at taco bell?

I hope that Taco Bell is paying their employees their due wages. My guess is that they will just let them collect unemployment benefits. So sad that it was not their fault.

As I understand this exemption it applies to your primary residence at the time of sale and you must purchase another primary residence.

You should consult an accountant to maximize your benifit as these tax laws are always changing.

I'm concidering Real Estate. My question is that I'd like to be a "buyer's agent" vs. a "listing agent". Is that obtainable after receiving my licences or do I need addional hours (New Jersey)
In NJ,after you receive your license you can chose to be either one or the other depending on which clients you decide to represent. Don't limit yourself to any opportunity. The best posisition is to be in is as a listing agent. Once you have secured a listing and use due dilligence to market and list the property you let the buyer's agents bring the buyers to you.
Answer to:
In New Jersey, when traveling in the left lane, do you have to move over for a police officer that is behind you if his/her lights are not flashing?
In New Jersey it is the law to keep right. The left lane is for passing. If the police car's lights are not flashing they will soon if you are not passing someone in the right lane. In Germany, on the Autobahn, they take this very seriously. It is a fine equivelent to $400.

If God is supposed to be forgiving, why did He punish the serpent, Eve and Adam? He sounded kinda harsh and evil.
The serpent is supposed to represent evil. As answered above these are moral lessions. We are all God's children, I don't care what you call God. When we treat each other less than we would like to be treated ourselves we have failed God's plan. It seems so simple, but many don't get it.

If the landlord "takes" the law in his own hands and changes the locks, he is in for a "world of hurt". The landlord is subject to damages plus being out the rent. This is whether you have a lease...
