		<description>John,

The second mailing thing has once again rang a bell! Hmm, maybe that's why I sometimes see a commercial on TV and then see the same commercial again right afterwards or minutes later.

And I probably wouldn't have had your self-control on the guitar.

Sincerely,

		<description>John,

Yes! YOU CAN deduct this from your taxes.  BUT, you must "describe" it properly. As with bullets same goes with the IRS.  You must "twist" a little bit ala G.H.

So, How do you write it off?  Well, before I tell you, I have a Free Report on an IRS Approved program which may solve your problem.

Maybe you could qualify?  

SO...What we need is a medical excuse..Maybe you are ADHD.  Face it, all entrepreneurs are.  That is why we are killing the next generation of geniuses with Prozac..but I digress..

Anyway,  you have ADHD.  It is easy to "diagnose" you.  Ask any 6 year old boy. You just act wierd and crazy, piss off the "adults" (which I understand John, is one of your specialties!)and you too can have a "label."  

As a "Therapy" you have to play a 60's Rickenbocker guitar because this is one of the few "alternative therapy's" that has shown any progress in your case history.

We can prove this because we see the calming effect exibited from your love of music expression.

Now that we have established a medically necessary expense, the question is NOT do we write it off, but HOW.

Most people would itimize the deduction on their schedule A.  Which due to the Proof we have established would be a "Normal" thought process.

But we are not "Normal" are we.  No, we dig a little deeper.  We find out that the IRS has an "APPROVED" program that allows us to write off 100% of our "non reimbursed" medical expenses.      STOP!  I don't think you understood what I just said..

100% Tax deduction for small business owners.
IRS Approved.  This means you save ALL the money you spend INCLUDING your self employment tax.(The medical expense is now deducted on 
Schedule C)

I would love to tell you more, but that is what the Free Report is for.  

For your Free REPORT:

How to use an IRS Approved Program To Write of a Rock n Roll Guitar (or any other unreimbursed medical expense) 

Send an email request to kb.benefits@comcast.net

That's a Great Headline!

P.S.  I really do have the Report on the IRS Program, Send for it.

		<description>Speaking as a former Southwest employee, I am glad to hear they were able to help you negotiate the travesty that is the LAX experience.

I was one of those people with a bullhorn at BWI right after 9/11 when they sent a bunch of us up from Southwest Headquarters in Dallas, and we had to negotiate not only the governments new and haphazard rules but also try to deal with customers frustrations.

We would go up and down the line, pulling people out whose flights were leaving soonest, and invariably there would be those coming up at the last moment or even after the flight claiming that they missed the flight because of the line.  I could never understand why, if they were in the line, and if they knew when the flight was leaving and knew it was imminent, that they would have just ignored the people (we didn't really have a bullhorn, but I was pretty loud and in uniform) who could get them on their merry way.

It is sad to see that even in a case where it would meet their best interests such as your situation at LAX that there were people still just standing there, complacent to be in line.

When given the opportunity, always jump out of the line and grab the moment.
