I've been going to body pump classes for many years. Recent chest routines have had rounds of chest press followed by very short set of pushups. I think it's bad design for a routine to have to quickly put your barbell on the floor, rush around behind your bench to be told there's just 8 pushups. And then rush back around to grab your bar and resume chest presses. I get that it's designed to keep intensity, high HR etc., but I'd rather have the time necessary to do maybe 2 sets of 8 pushups, without the "Quick Transition!" rushing around.

I just responded to a 4883C letter I received. The callback service called me and then had me on hold for 18 minutes. Why would they call back when they're not ready to help?

The most frustrating part is that they asked for ever bit of information one would need to steal a person's identity. Full legal nane, social, and full bank account information.

While I did verify that the phone number I called was legit, it was very stressful.

The IRS should find a way to verify information that does not require a person to disclose everthing needed to steal the taxpayer's identity. Alternatives are verifying specific line items on a return, or just the last 4 of the social or account number.

Each year I do my return with TT, it prepares a cover letter that summarizes my GI, AGI, tax payments, etc. It includes a sentence that says my "Effective Tax Rate is" and then lists some percentage.

I'm told this is supposed to be your tax obligation divided by your AGI. But when I do the math, it's not even close. My tax payment is anywhere from 25 - 29% of my AGI, but TT reports my Effective Tax Rate as always less than 20%.

Any idea why it's so off, or what they think Effective Tax Rate means?

I live in Northern Virginia. Is there any chance we could get a BP Heavy class in NOVA or DC?

I use Waze with my Android Auto in my car but I've noticed that I can no longer cancel routing. I hit the X on the the touch screen but it doesn't cancel service.

I know my car's touch screen works because starting navigation and confirming cars on the roadside, etc., all work but not cancelling.

Has anyone else experienced this?
