I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated thread on weather. We are getting into severe weather season and today is going to produce some pretty nasty stuff. The forecast has pretty much remained the same throughout the whole week for today which rarely happens. Schools are letting out early so people can be home safe before it hits. I have never seen this before in Iowa. Luckily I live close to my business so I can go home quick to take shelter if needed and I can get my employees there as well. Stay safe everyone.

There's nothing they can do. I've even contacted the Iowa State Attorney General. I have considered filing a report with the IRS so I can get him for tax fraud.

If you are a business owner or work in a management position, have you been dealing with a lot of fraud lately? The past few months we have been dealing a lot with it. The scammers are pretending to buy a large item, like farm equipment. They mail a check that looks to be real from another business, using their actually banking information. They hope you deposit it right away and then they cancel the purchase shortly after and ask the have the funds wired back to them. They try to do this before your bank notifies you that the check is bad. Not only have we received these checks but they have even issued checks with our name and recently closed account.

One combine can sell for over $750k and that's not even with the corn head. We deal with high dollar items. Last year we did over $31 million in sales. The point is, I don't want this jack ass thinking he can get away with this.

Yes, being a DJ can be a business. What I've found out is that this guy and his son don't even have their "business" registered. He says they just sell a few things on Facebook. Everyone knows he sells hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of product.

I don't believe we have insurance that covers this. This is not something I want to make a claim for either. This is personal right now and I'm not letting this go. As for now, this money will stay on our books until he pays me back in some way. That, or we use it as a write off during a very profitable year.

People from India mostly. Nigerians as well. Lately I've been getting some local scammers calling me. They call and say they are from my bank. They are clearly American and sound official. Even the number they call from is local. They want to text me a link in order for me to log into my account. It's at that point when you know it's a scam because no bank would ever do that.

Same here. Not bad.

I'm still working on getting my money from this guy. We've taken him to court and he shows that he has no money. Him home, vehicle and the business are all in his son's name. He has zero income and said he hasn't paid taxes in 10 years. I know he have a carp load of cash. My lawyers have not been much help and it looks like I'm just stuck with our legal system right now. I don't plan on giving up that easily and letting this a**hole get away with this. His balance is currently over $425k with me. Anyone have any suggestions? I've been thinking of hiring a private investigator so I can prove that him and his son are running an illegal business and committing tax fraud. If I'm never going to get my money then I want him in jail. Fock this guy and his family.

Have you looked at the quality of healthcare in those other countries? How long does it take to get the right treatment or surgery? How much is their cost of living?

Soldiers are basically employees of the government. The government should be paying their healthcare and taking care of them. Citizens are completely different.

This right here.

Sounds like a biker problem. I can't stand bikes on the roads, and yes, I know they have a right to be there as well. They're like the jet skis of the roadways.

I use to hate them but I've grown to like them. They have helped lower the amount of serious accidents and they help keep traffic moving.

I always loved John Candy and I was excited to watch the doc. I thought it was very well done and supported my opinion of him. What a great man he was.

Carrie Underwood. It was ok but I liked the woman that opened for her more.

With Iowa on their bye week I'll actually be watching more of the other football games. How's everyone been doing on their NCAAF picks so far this year? So far I'm on Cincinnati to win and Illinois to cover.

Did you watch Barbarian?

You have to be a fan of his comedy to enjoy the show. It's pretty funny. I thought the second season was better than the first.

Cheers

I really liked Black Phone. It was very different. Last night I watched Weapons. Not really a "horror" movie but it was very creepy. I really enjoyed it.

Is that similar to her FUPA?

There really shouldn't be any defense for Trump when it comes to him speaking. He's one of the worst, and yes, Biden was one of the worst as well.

It's ok to give credit where credit is due sometimes.
