I'm pretty sure it's just a cold. I have the sniffles, sore throat and no energy. I'm not dying it's just hard to be productive and nose is really raw and sore.
 
I love the liqued thera flu for colds. Just add a little bit of sugar to it if you don't like the taste. Most flavors are really not bad though.
 
ZICAM !! I swear it's the best thing ever !
 
Things that make you go hmmmm....So I was putting my info into PP exp/inc and I noticed under other income that our DB products are not listed...whats up with that?:bugeye: I am going to look and see if they added it into our normal compensation...hope not, because I can't remember what we got in our DBs last year!:sick:

Anyone know anything about this? Is it on your 1099? Hope mine isn't goofed up...have my tax appointment on Monday!:cry:
 
Ok, I double checked my commission amounts and they were right. So I wonder if HO just forgot to put them on mine? I guess it truely doesn't matter because you just turn around and write them off anyway!:)
 
My spring 2007 DB is on my 1099 but my fall isn't listed.
 
My fall wasn't on mine either. I'm sure there might be a few other things not on mine if I look back through the year.
 
But what is on there is $2500 for my San Fran trip. :eek:How much was Atlantis????
 
Yeah I thought REALLY how did that cost that.
San Fran was my first PC trip. So I didn't know how much to expect.
 
I "won" a $100 Merrill Gift Certificate at National last year and that's on there. I understand how things we earn are on the 1099 but something you win? It was a drawing. ...hmmm


And shouldn't the value of the trip be the same as the gift certificate option (for tax purposes anyway)???
 
Ooh, Beth, the Merrill GC thing should so not be on there!
 
It is funny how some things are on there and some are not.
Does anyone write off some of that? I have heard some say they write off the products because they are taking it to shows.
I just never looked at it that way.
 
I haven't gotten my 1099 yet!!!!
 
10/09/2007 PAN-O-RAMA 12" SKILLET $30.40
10/09/2007 PAN-O-RAMA 12" GLASS LID $28.00
11/03/2007 PAN-O-RAMA 11" SQ GRIDDLE $72.00
11/27/2007 PAN-O-RAMA 8" SAUTE PAN $30.00
11/27/2007 PAN-O-RAMA GRILL PRESS $23.20
11/27/2007 PAN-O-RAMA 11" SQ GRL PAN $92.00

How do they figure these cookware values?? A 12" skillet is $30 and the 8" Saute Pan is $30, but the Square Grill Pan is $92?!?

There seems to be no rhyme or reason.

Is it not under Cluster Reports either?
 
I write off all of the products on there. Can't figure out quite yet how I'll write off the trip...LOL
 
Well if you figure out the trip. You let me know.:D

I was shocked too to see my gold whisk for promoting was $40.
 
The gold whisk is advertising. :)

...hmmmm (what a perfect title for this thread!)

Something tells me they're going to be resubmitting these 1099's. The last time that happened (a 1099 getting submitted) we got audited because the IRS added the original and the corrected ones together and said we owed. Once I pointed out THEIR error all was well but oh, the stress!

How much was Atlantis????

I've already filed my 1099 away, but I want to say the Atlantis trip was $3800something.
:eek:
