As a home educator, I have many parents ask me "What about college?" To which I respond, [unless] they decide to pursue medicine or some other applied knowledge field, I am NOT encouraging my children to go to college.

This article further supports my long-held convictions.

Please advise if anyone has any knowledge in this area... or where they can direct me. Thank you.

2) "Saturation point" can be guessed at, but my personal opinion is that it is an ART not a SCIENCE to determine exactly when the saturation point occurs.

Some questions to ponder before jumping in to a field that one might not be familiar with: Are there a lot of un-sold mobile homes in your area? Have you inspected those un-sold homes to determine if they are move-in ready? Are most of them "fixer-uppers" that appeal to a broke and desperate group, or can you find some that would appeal to more discerning families? Are you really talented in the fix-it-up aspect of that business? Is the trailer park a place where you would consider raising small children? Tweens? Teenagers? Senior citizens? How far is it to the nearest elementary school? How far is it to the nearest senior nutrition center? The grocery store?

It's ALL about the "niche". Is this your niche? Or do you need to keep thinking?

The response: There is no such thing as saturation is not valid because it is.

... I don't understand your last sentence but perhaps someone else will.

Lesson learned: <Skip college. Go into business for yourself.

Who really wants to graduate with $130K in private school debt and have no jobs to look forward to? And worse, that massive debt is also shielded from bankruptcy, which means it literally will follow you to the grave.

Giving that he already owned this vehicle for a number of years (where his name & true home address was attached to the VIN at the DMV, police accident reports and repair shops) is there any real privacy risk in this?

(1) Does the SSN associated with an LLC show up in the police computer if a cop runs his plates or a PI does the same? If so would it automatically pop up his name and information or would that take an additional search?

(2) I read somewhere that when the police run a Drivers license that the SSN comes up on the screen - is that accurate?

...
(1) I don't think so.

(2) Perhaps some LEO can answer this question.

I'm trying to buy house (RE) in the max invisible way. At this time I can not buy it outright as Jack and common sense would suggest. So mortgage needs to be involved.

Here is the scenario: RE is to be acquired by me and the partner. Partner will be securing the mortgage. I'm not visibly involved at all, my name is not to be recorded on either the mortgage, nor deed.

However, money for the down payment need to come from me (fair part). What's the best way to do it??

Apparently, needs to be done such way so no mortgage company, nor tax authorities have any questions.

... You must first get an attorney to protect your interests.

And, some states may consider the CCW database as a public record subject to disclosure under the state's Open Records or FOIA-type law. In my state some anti-gun newspapers actually get the permit list and publish the names of persons issued the permits.

So there are some anti-privacy implications to think about here.

... OK, end of CCW permit questions and comments. Let's move on to other issues, readers.

You may not have to register your guns, depending on state requirements. But getting the CCW permit will get you into a government database as a gun owner, and one who is serious about protecting your life with the firearm.

Are there alternatives? Open carry is one, if allowed by your state. But, the public and even some LEOs don't like or understand open carry. I have seen reports of people being arrested and charged for inducing panic in my state, where open carry is legal. You could consider non-lethal self-defense items, such as pepper spray or stun guns, if legal where you live. Or, you could carry concealed without a permit, but take the risk of arrest. Some people take the attitude that it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Skip or Skippy for Peter
Butch for John
Trixie for Beatrice (no I am not Beatrice)
Peggy for Margaret
Buffy for Bufelia
Nita for Bianca
Kitty for Katrina, Kathy, or anyone who wants to use it.
Plus a ton of different spellings:

Eric, Erick, Ericka, Rick
John, Jon, Ione—yeah who would have thought? Ione is pronounced John in Europe!

Also, you can add the letter K to many names: Nail, becomes KNAIL pronounced Nail, Napp becomes Knapp pronounced Nap. Scandinavians use both K and G on the front of other consonants. They also double up on consonants—Erickksson is Erickson.

Originally I started studying the origins of names because I am a writer. Research started with my own family names. I soon became educated that many names I took for granted as being a person’s real sir name and first name, were really derivatives of other names. I just found out, that my grandfather “removed an consonant—H” from the first part of our last name to make it easier to pronounce. But, I am thinking about adding it back in because it would change where we are filed now, it would take us from the T, R files to the T, H, R. files, it is a small thing, but could come in handy sometime. Have fun with your invisible way of living—it keeps it positive.
