    - Any suggestions for the best pain reliever for muscle soreness from exercise? -- nm - ceregon Apr 30, 08:12 7

        I was going to suggest a massage ;) -- nm - JenBro Apr 30, 08:21
      - naproxen - aleve -- nm - Epiphany Apr 30, 08:13
      - yeah, more exercise. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 30, 08:13
      - ibuprofen. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 08:13 2
        
        can you take naproxen & ibuprofen together? -- nm - ceregon Apr 30, 08:15 1
        
        I hope so. I do. :) but if I do that, I take just one pill each. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 08:16

i wonder what would happen if the IRS proposed putting all for profit tax returns on a website open to the public - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 30, 07:39 22
- In the end I don't think it would make much difference, it's too complex an issue for people, generally speaking, to really want to pay attention to. - znufrii Apr 30, 07:46
- They could only do it for public companies. Private ones have the right to not have financial information broadcasted to the public. -- nm - spamlet Apr 30, 07:44 18
  - [deleted] 16
    - That's the point of not being a public entity. You get to keep your financial information to yourself. - spamlet Apr 30, 07:50 4
      - [deleted] 2
        
        It certainly does disclose financial information on the Schedule M-3. You start with worldwide book income. - spamlet Apr 30, 07:58 1

    - I know as an S corp. we are not required to disclosue anything to anyone - even when doing things like applying for a loan. - decline Apr 30, 07:47
    - if it is non-public why would anyone have the right to that info? Next they want your tax returns to see what you are paying as well -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 07:47 1
      - [deleted]
    - dont quote me on this, but i think there is - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 30, 07:47 7
      - [deleted] 6
        
        i dont know honestly. is always been one of those things that i was told (taught?) but never knew the basis of. - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 30, 07:48 5
        
        It would be IRS regulations, not SEC. Maybe something like this? -- (link) - mara Apr 30, 07:58 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        and it comes right back to my point. If they tried that with private companies, who is to say individuals wouldn't be next -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 08:03 1
        
        [deleted]

        The weird thing is Megam (Or Mégane) is actually the most popular girl name in Quebec right now -- nm - Guigue Apr 30, 07:48 3
        
        oh, I know it's popular now, but that's very recent. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 07:48 1

      - heh. I liked the stat that he takes more double the shots per game than anyone. -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 07:50 1
        
        He took by about 20% the most shots in the ACC; and in the top 20 in scoring, only 1 guy made a worse %. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 30, 08:05
- And just minutes ago he declared for the NBA draft. I guess he's striving to have the D-League career of Jordan Williams. - MDH Apr 30, 07:06
