that Catholic confession is done so they can absolve you of your sins. Only Christ can do that. I've never heard a priest say confession was to make people feel better! Confession is not the same as counseling.

Quick definitions (absolution)

noun: the act of absolving or remitting; formal redemption as pronounced by a priest in the sacrament of penance
noun: the condition of being formally forgiven by a priest in the sacrament of penance

I don't claim to know much about but as - sm
far as I know any deposit money the buyer has put down on your house goes into an escrow account (not into your pocket--and this is considered a downpayment), then at settlement the money in the escrow account is applied to the sale price of the house. The money is the buyers until settlement; granted they may lose some or all of that money if they pull out of the deal depends on how your state/or realtor handles that problem, I think they are all different. If they did pull out, then in theory you would get their deposit money, either all or minus some commission for the realtor as well. No matter what you will not see a penny until the papers are all signed, sealed and delivered.

I claim all.
I have 2 large bags to take in right now but haven't because I need to itemize a list first. It really helps during tax time. A donation is a donation whether you claim it on your taxes or not.

Do you claim all your donations

I do not claim what I give to church. I just don't think it's right to use that ... MY PERSONAL OPINION ONLY!

I haven't ever claimed what I give to goodwill or anything like that.

I claim ALL donations

When filing a homeowners claim consider this...sm
Homeowner's policies are determined by how many claims you file in "x" period of time, not the dollar amount. Therefore if you file a claim for instance for the carpeting and the replacement is $4000, then have another claim then you'll probably be cancelled or have rates go up, regardless of whether or not the next claim is for something with a high ticket dollar amount or not.

It is generally recommended by the insurance industry to not file claims for things that aren't for major ticket items, i.e. a fire or loss of thousands of dollars worth of stuff.

I would tell your sister that either they claim the loss on their homeowners ins.

Kind of hurts her claim that she is not a gold-digger - sm
When I first heard this I assumed it was $20K a month, which is a bit more reasonable, though still nuts; but $20K a day, what does she do buy gold plates every day and dispose of them? I could do a lot wtih $600,000 a month. I doubt she will get that though, maybe her lawyers figured they'd start with some totally outragous amount so she could end up getting what she attually wants (i.e. $20K a month or $100K, whatever it is). It will probably all end up being sealed in the end so no one will know.
