Nic964 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Theres all the other stuff, tax code, medicare, bank account etc, but hopefully thats nothing new. Yep other thing to do is to enjoy it, and remeber why you came out here, its easy to forget with so many things going on, but its good to stand back and enjoy the benefits.
