The taxman cometh…sooner or later

I gave some advice to a friend recently and wanted to share it with others. Remember that the government is withholding fewer federal taxes from your paycheck this year but that doesn’t reduce your tax burden payable April 2012.

Well low and behold it turns out to be a fault in the wiring from my network box junction. l took the modem over to another cable jack and viola! New instantly is assumed by the the modem. Just to think I was going to go out and buy a new one just because I wasn’t getting Motorola to adequately address my issue to my satisfaction. So, to the […]
