    What a timely thread. Took Sammy to the vet yesterday. Relieved that the vet said he has no detectable tumors at this point and doesn't appear to be in any pain. I didn't want to have to make the decision yet that OP had to.

    COVID vaccine trials and medicals

    Not the same thing, but related...is there any similar concern with having the blood bank check for antibodies when you donate blood? Just heard they will do that if you want them to. I thought I would the next time I donate, but will have to re-think that if there could be an issue.

    For Sale 2 units Bose A20 Bluetooth

    I got scammed on ebay once on a set of headphones. I was not impressed with ebay either. They sided with the seller almost immediately. I raised holy hell with them and they eventually figured out the "seller" was a scammer and refunded my payment.

    Setting up a flight training business: LLC or INC?

    An LLC is not necessarily a pass through. With an LLC, you elect how you want to be taxed. A single member LLC can be taxed as a C Corp, S Corp or Sole Proprietorship. A multi-member LLC can be taxed as a C Corp, S Corp, or Partnership.
