    KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

    I was a regular listening. I liked him and he did bring something to the show. But he is not the reason I listened and don't think I'd have missed him that much if the show had continued without him. That isn't a slam, just my take.

    KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

    while I think we all feel bad for Sean too, he isn't exactly why anyone was tuning in to KXNO.

    KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

    ....if they can afford them. I'd have to guess KXNO was a lot bigger revenue generator than 1700

    NCAA Tourney Path

    Nothing erases the loss against A&M. That is wishful thinking IMO> We can counter balance it with some impressive wins, but lets not pretend it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb if we are being compared against other bubble teams at the end of the year.

    Vikings fans...

    I don't know too many QB's that can "win a game by themselves " without a decent O-line.

    Then don't request the "easiest path".

    I'll jump in. How about -- "Time for Zion to start against OK?" You're welcome. I accept cash or check.

    Ames Tribune and DSM Register

    His age and diversity in coverage helps, but as of now, the Register seems to want to have one dedicated writer covering Iowa and one covering Iowa State. Unless that changes (and I doubt it will since their analytics tell them that the school specific stories by give them the most clicks)...

    Ames Tribune and DSM Register

    Some of you are falling behind. ;) Gannett is no longer the top dog. They were acquired by Gatehouse Media during the latter half of last year. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/08/05/gannett-gatehouse-media-new-media-investment-group/1902550001/ It is hard to know how much time and...

    Advice from those who have sold tix on Stubhub, Vivid, etc...

    That is very helpful. Thank you! I am just surprised how often I see the same tix listed on both Stubhub and Vivid. I wonder if they are sophisticated enough sellers, that they are setup to immediately go to the other site and take down tix as soon as they get a buyer on the other. Seems...

    Question internet in central Iowa

    Both my wife and I work from home periodically, but between the two of us (and counting working on weekends sometimes), we rely on the internet almost daily for work. We have Mediacom here in Des Moines. I honestly can't recall the last time we've had any issues in speed or connectivity...

    Preferred Tax Software

    I think if people are more comfortable having a professional handle this, I say go for it. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of using professional services....and some people really NEED to ....i.e....small biz person, but with today's retail software, determining and reporting cap gains...

    Preferred Tax Software

    I think I see now why we are seemingly talking past each other. I think this will help. You seem to be suggesting that the non-professional software works like your professional software. As someone who has used both, they don't. I guess I assumed you had used both at some time, but maybe...

    Advice from those who have sold tix on Stubhub, Vivid, etc...

    I have both bought and sold tickets on both Stubhub and Vivid so I understand how they work from both sides. One thing I've always wondered about however. I've always been afraid to list the same set of tickets for sale on more than one site at a time. My concern: What happens if I get...

    Preferred Tax Software

    I don't disagree with what you are saying....just not understanding why you quoted me since you didn't address any the of the points I made.

    Preferred Tax Software

    I used to be an IRS tax preparer and will push back a bit on your statement. The quality of how the software asks questions, prompts the tax payer to consider situations, and provides extra assistance to more complex issues, can (and I'd argue will) change how people might enter items or...
