Lux presents Hollywood the Lux Radio Theatre brings you and southern and Robert Young in a night to remember Ladies and gentlemen your producer mr. Cecil B. DeMille Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen We can't ration the springtime, but this is one year when it's strictly unpatriotic to get spring fever There's too much work to be done And in case you're a bit tired after today's work We have just the cure for what ails you it's a little spring tonic Calls a night to remember And we've received some very convincing testimonials about it from motion picture audiences throughout the nation Columbia studios made the picture and we've been lucky enough to get Robert Young and Anne Southern as our stars tonight It took a little doing too Because they're both very busy over at metro golden mayor Anne has been working in the picture swing shift mazy And bob in slightly dangerous But tonight we've cast them as detectives in an engaging comedy mystery It all happens in new york's greenwich village where a mystery story writer and his wife Settled down to look for atmosphere They find it all too quickly when a corpse appears in the backyard We had a surprise last week too, but a more pleasant one We discovered that when some people buy lux flakes, they have to take it home on a dog sled We received a photograph from the northern part of alberta in canada, which proves it It was a picture of a trapper With his sled and dog team and there on the sled believe it or not was a carton of lux flakes The hard packed snow looked a little cold to the southern california eye And the trapper was bundled up to his ears In the background was a forest of spruce The branches were laden with snow According to the letter The picture was taken just four miles off the new alaska highway That morning, mrs. DeMille had picked an armful of roses in our garden in hollywood So it just goes to show that you'll find lux flakes on the job everywhere Even if it takes a dog team to get it there Now we present the first act of a night to remember Starring robert young as jeff troy and ann southern as nancy You are now entering greenwich village new york population unknown but interesting Boundary lines uncertain Principal industries are in all its branches Antiques boot blackings spaghetti houses tea rooms bar rooms and rooms to let Here the artist rub shoulders with the fake and the fake rub shoulders with the phoning You can't tell which is which for the streets are dark at night and a good thing too Here are great modern apartments Where the rents are sky-high And here are artists gloomy garrets where the rents are sky-high too It's old.

Well, it might be good luck for some people, but this man here was murdered with it Two of the night to remember starring and southern and robert young will follow in just a moment Tonight we have a new between the axe feature to offer you an interview with someone you never thought you'd hear Frankly, we don't know how to explain it ourselves except to say that radio is a very strange thing But our guest tonight is a big white bird carrying a little black bag Ladies and gentlemen dr. Stork a bird who hasn't time to catch his breath these days Fly right up to the microphone dr. Stork. Oh, thank you, mr. Kennedy. I'll just stay here where I can Sit down if you don't mind keeping you pretty busy. Are they busy? Oh Why mr. Kennedy, I should say so nearly three million babies I brought here in America last year and this year Oh, well, I declare I don't know what I'll do if this keeps up After all one pair of wings can do just so much Well, dr. Stork in a way, you know, you have the easiest part of the job You just bring them you don't have to take care of them Yes, mr. Kennedy every time I drop one of the little darlings down the chimney I deliver a bundle of washing problems. Oh, but washing babies things is no problem No, not with new improved luxe flakes doctor Why those richer longer lasting suds take out the dirt like nobody's business and leave babies woolly soft and warm and Unschrunken help them last longer too. You don't say and luxe is so gentle Diapers washed in luxe flakes never have any harmful alkali left in them to irritate babies tender skin You know how important that is doctor. Oh very perhaps we could work out a deal We'll supply you with new improved luxe and then every time you bring a baby You bring along a box of luxe flakes too. Well, mr. Kennedy. I don't think that's necessary I think I've got a simpler solution.  Demel act two of a night to remember starring and southern as nancy and robert young as jeff Nancy and jeff have told their story to detective hankin who didn't believe a word of it In the gloomy apartment in the basement the cross examination continues So you heard the deceased talking over the phone I told you he made an appointment to meet somebody here in our apartment Therefore we can assume that the person who killed him lives in this building I wouldn't be so anxious to make that point.

No, I I don't remember any coughman Say you seem to know more about this than I do What are you asking me questions for so if you tell me what I want to know and I'll tell you what you want to know Now what does mr. Brule look like? Haven't you ever seen him? No, never Oh, I see Well, he isn't exactly my type. He's sort of large and bulky and he has a scar on his face Coughman quiet Who's coughman? Oh, um Well, just a friend of ours who sounds sort of like that description and tell me is he blonde? No, he's black haired Oh, well not a bit like coughman. Is it darling? No, of course not Is that all you want to know? That's all, but I'll probably come back sometime in the morning. Will that be all right? I guess so. Well, good night. Good night Come on, darling So Coughman and brule of the same guy Yes, maybe what do you mean? Maybe you just heard that woman describe coughman and say that he was brule And everybody at 50 gay street was mailing him letters What's it sound like to you blackmail? Sure One of them killed the blackmailer and the others are helping to hide the murderer But don't you think it's odd that they're all living in the same apartment house? Oh, I got that all figured out How he made them live together so that he could keep an eye on them Well Maybe maybe maybe can't you see? He mingled with him under the name of coughman and he blackmailed him under the name of brule Then somebody found out and killed him. Why it's simple. Yes, it's a little too simple Hello, hello, this is mrs. Davos speaking. Yes listen They were just here the man and the woman I did what you wanted.

Who is it put on the light? And Well, and what are you doing here? Oh Nancy, I thought you'd never get home here darling here. What's wrong? I feel like I'm losing my mind You've got to help me nancy. Of course. I will and oh sure. What are you afraid of? That's a silly question nancy. You know what she's afraid of the same thing. We're all afraid of she's afraid that the reason For brutal blackmailing her will come out aren't you and then you know She made you come here too. Sure. We're all in the same boat. Oh on the same boat. I've been hearing that for a year At first when I heard he was dead.  Sure. Talk all you want Tell me Ann. How did you folks find out that brule and coughman were the same person? Oh, everybody suspected it Then when we found out he was dead my husband and lingualt searched his apartment They found letters papers everything he needed and why was coughman or brule or whatever he's nameless Why was he blackmailing you so long ago that it seems unreal? Do you remember philip higby higby? Oh, you mean the playboy murder case? Yes. Oh, I was in the apartment The shot came through the window. I was scared and ran away. Oh, yes. I remember reading about that in the papers So you were the mysterious brunette.  I thought I was going to be all right I met robert Then after we were married brule began to blackmail you What did he have on lingual? Well lingual was an art dealer. He forged a painting and brule found out All of us. We've done something He made us live here. But tell me what happened to coughman's furniture. We split it up in the various apartments We thought it would keep the police from finding out that he was brule Well, how about poly was he blackmailing her? Yes She wrote some silly love letters and this man got hold of them She was afraid the father would try to take her child away from her. Is that it? Yes See Now, uh, what about turner turner? Well turn to us Jeff Well, Jeff, aren't you going to see what that was? I don't have to. I know what it was somebody screamed See, what did I tell you? Well, it's right outside What's the matter here? Oh, it happened again. It crawled over my foot.  It wasn't anything wrong down here. It's all right, mr. Lingo that turtle crawled over mrs. Salter's foot turtle what turtle what are you doing here mrs. Salter? Well, mr. Turner told me to come he said mr. Scott was here and that I should listen She's crazy. I never told her that I want to get out of here. Let me out. Oh sit down mrs. Salter calm yourself Ann, what's this all about?  Yes, what are you doing down here? We were just gossiping mr. Lingo. Did you talk to him doesn't make any difference lingo. I knew all about it anyway Knew what that brule was blackmailing you What are you talking about? So you trick her into talking I ought to punch you in the nose Oh Scott, please do it. Yeah, wait a minute Scott. I think you're a pretty smart guy, don't you? Yes, and I'm smart enough to know something the rest of you don't know. What's that? You all think brule and coffman were the same person?  That's a new twist. Can you? Yeah, how do you know? They found papers in coffman's room would a blackmailer leave his evidence lying around for everyone to see Coffman was only a stooge. He was working for brule Then he started out on his own with the evidence brule had gathered over the course of years Brule didn't like that so brule killed him then Then you mean we aren't safe brule is alive. Yes, mr. Lingo brule is alive and living in this house He'd give me about three hours to more morning and I'll turn him over to you I say him but brule may be a woman don't forget that And I've got a pretty good hunch right now who the murderer is Good night ladies and gentlemen Come on in Well That was a nice move quiet. You told them brule was alive. He is. All right. He is But you told him you knew who he was don't you realize what he'll do now Sure as soon as he thinks we're asleep.   We're leaving and right now. No, I'm going to stay here. This is my big chance It's the last chapter of my novel the last chapter of your life. You mean oh, don't worry about me Oh jeff for heaven's sakes. You haven't even got a gun.  I just want a husband Oh, anyhow, I'm staying here. I'm going to see this thing through to the finish.  Oh not dares be sensible But sensible people just go to the phone dial oh and ask for a policeman and let the police have all the glory after I've done All the work. All right All right, jeff, but I'm staying and while we're waiting to be glorified. Perhaps we'd better notify your draft board Nancy what nothing. I just wanted if you were asleep. Have you heard anything just my pulse What time is it about 4 30? They ought to be here any minute. Huh? Who? Jeff I've got a confession to make what I dialed oh and asked for a policeman. You mean When when you were brushing your teeth? Oh, Nancy, don't you realize what that'll do? It'll bring hankering a raft of policemen down here. Oh, I hope so Can you keep a secret? Uh-huh. I hope so too Oh jeff if if brew comes what are you going to do? Well, I don't worry. I've got my golf clubs here Oh jeff. I wish you'd taken more lessons if you did Jeff there's someone coming outside the door. I'll put on the lights. Okay For the love of oh hurry jeff. Nancy the lights. Somebody's done something to them. Well, get a candle get something Quiet Put your flash over here. Troy. Where are you? Here? Here? Here? Oh jeff. Are you all right? Yeah? I think so Where is he? Where's the guy who was here? He got away when you shot. He broke away Search the building for the god of every door that man.   What about the closet? Look on the On the floor? Yes Chief look I see it. Look chief. What about it? What is it? See? Oh, I'm shining the flash There's blood coming out from under the door. All right Come on out. Who's everybody in there? Come on out Open the door bully. Okay Watch him It's okay chief one of those shots slammed them right in the chest. He's dead. You sure sure. I'm sure He made it as far as the closet. I guess and that's all Well, uh, who is it? Put the light on his face. Oh It's mr. Lingo Lingo, huh? Then he's the blackmailer. He's the one who killed carlton Jeff it's mr. Um Jeff Jeff, where are you? He's all right lady. He just kind of passed out for a minute. There. He is on the floor again Oh Jeff look at me Oh, darling, are you all right? Speak to me Are you sure the murder is dead? Yes, darling Okay, what do you want to talk about? We'll be back in a moment for a curtain call Now ladies Confidentially, would you like to know where you can get some more nylon stockings? Well, I I'm awfully sorry I can't tell you because I just don't know But I can tell you how to make the stockings you have last longer And that's the next best thing to having new ones, isn't it? Listen just lux your stockings after every wearing Yes, it's as easy as that and it really works As a matter of fact, it's been proved that luxing stockings cuts down runs over 50 percent A famous laboratory the united states testing company incorporated made a whole series of strain tests on rayon stockings And they found that luxing cuts runs in half They tested silk and nylon and cotton stockings too and got the same kind of results Now there's a reason why lux cuts down runs Strong soap or rubbing with cake soap weakens the elastic qualities of your stockings So they break easily the way an old dried out rubber band snaps when you pull it But new improved lux saves the elasticity of stockings You will find it really pays to lux stockings after every wearing Of course be sure to let your rayons drive thoroughly They need at least a whole day 24 hours and two whole days drying time is safer Remember a luxing a day helps to keep runs away Now here's mr. DeMille with our stars. There will be plenty of excitement here next week too Before our stars come back.  No woman could get those plans here from america Oh, but this woman was smart you see very smart and very beautiful She had those plans tattooed on her back on her back Sure, they're now an invisible ink while she waits to sell them to the highest bidder For the nazis maybe or the jabs. Well, who is she? Who is this woman? Do you know she killed to get those plans? She murdered a man in america And she'll murder again to hold on to them I've got to watch her watch her every minute, but you don't know who the woman is I've got an idea darling You see, I think it's you To find out what happened after that I suggest you join us next monday night I'll tell you the name of the play and who will be in it in a few minutes Tonight was indeed a night to remember. We won't forget the two stars who made it that And southern and robert young and here they are Thank you cb.  How did it happen with you? Very simple cb.

typically I take six months to cover not good or bad that's just the teachers who do that in four months also five months also but my limitations I was taking the course for four months over time it has increased okay so for me is going to be six months in which approximate division is physical geography 75 days environment geography 10 days economic geography 15 days so almost map approximate date plus or minus some days depending on and maybe I had a vacation or some holidays but that's time we take and


This is me, my junior year of high school. The new decade has rolled over, and we are in it! I meant to do this video before New Year's, um, but I didn't get the photos in time, so I wasn't able to do it. I do realize that Felix literally just did this same exact video of looking through old photos. I swear to God, I didn't steal this video from him. I had texted my parents like two days before his video came out. I swear, I'm not lying, I'm not stealing his ideas, I already had this idea, but I just wasn't able to make the video before his. Can't wait to still get comments of, uh, you copy Felix? So, I had my parents send me a ton of photos of me when I was a child. I had to take out so many of them, because so many of them are just pictures of like me naked in a bathtub. Can't show that on the internet, so, mm. Yep, we're gonna look at photos of me from the past of my life. Mm-hmm, not just from this decade, because that would just be 2010 to now, but from my baby-ness. So, here's me, junior year of high school, I was 17, maybe, maybe 18, I guess I was 17. I'm wearing a shirt, this is gymnast on it, because I was gymnast. We're just gonna, we're just gonna go through random photos, I think. Here is me with my mother and my father. Where were we? I have no idea, I don't remember this at all. I still have that tie, wow.  My dad and I look very similar, he looks so young. He looks the same, his face looks longer. Me, my family, again, my brother had really short, I think, for- my brother did football.  But look at me in my little Hawaiian shirt. Look at how cute I am, wait a minute, wow, that's my mom.  Here's me with the Olympic gymnast, Shawn Johnson. I met her, this is in 2010. This is exactly a decade ago, wow. I mean, I really don't have much to say about any of these photos. This is me and wearing a photo together. I don't know how old I was in the, well, 10 years, I was 13. She's a very short lady, because I was probably like maybe five feet tall, maybe. This is me and a picture of me on my first date ever. We went to a bowling alley.  I was in sixth grade when we went on this date. Our parents, both of our parents, were there the entire time. We didn't have a second alone together. I thought I would have done anything anyway. God, I didn't even- my hair looks bad. First date ever, just killing it. This was a first day of school pick. My shorts match my backpack. Why did I have a plaid backpack? It's so weird. It's me and my dogs, Cooper and Max. Look at me. I wanted this hoodie, this sweatshirt, so badly because it was the same one. And Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. And I searched and searched and searched for this sweatshirt. It took such a long time. I had multiple iterations because it was never quite right, but this one was spot on.  I had a tech-tech birthday cake. I don't remember this at all. My 13th birthday, I- oh my God, this is a dope cake. My parents definitely made this cake too. My dad made this, I can tell. And then my mom and my mom made the cake, and then they put a tech-techs, tech-techs on it.  I don't remember that cake at all. Sorry, mom and dad. That's sick. Anyway, that's in the house that I grew up in. Ugh, that was the front door. Cooper and Max. They just had the baths. I think this is also on the first day of school of a different year. I had such huge front teeth. Look at that. Look at that smile. Wow. For any kind of puber to hit, I had perfect skin. I miss it. This is a keeper right here. The resolution is not good. I went to a gymnastics camp called IGC, International Gymnastics Camp. This is me doing a double back flip off rings, and they got it right in the middle.  I wish the resolution was better, so you could really see the fine details on my face.  This is me in a Christmas carol. I had a sailor suit on. Why? I don't know. I was playing a little boy who was asking his grandmother the tale of a Christmas story. They didn't have a mic for me, so they just set up a mic. I have no idea why I was in a sailor suit. That didn't make any sense. I was just supposed to be her granddaughter. I don't know why that happened. I got made fun of a lot, but I was an actor. And I did a beautiful performance on stage. I wish you could have seen it. I was nominated for a Tony, but Lin-Manuel Miranda, he swept it from me, and I'll never forgive him for that. He's just doing this jarring. Why do I look like God? Mom shouldn't be allowed to cut hair. It's something that I think every mom does, is cuts their kid's hair, and it never looks good. It never ever looks good, which I guess it doesn't really matter, because at this age no one cares at all anyway, and everyone's mom's cutting their hair. But god, it's bad. It's just straight across. Another example. My mom's hair cutting skills. Love you, mom. What is this vest, too? It's a lot.  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm a little longhorn. This was not our house. I don't know whose house this is. Oh, yeah. That's a serious look for a serious guy. Do I have a shovel? I do have a shovel, shovel and pail. Whose house is this? I don't recognize that coffee table. I don't recognize this nightstand. Oh, first day of school. I had my name on my water bottle.  Look at these kicks, too. Hell yeah. Vans have got like the above, the little bit above ankle socks. I got the denim cargo shorts.  And the same color plaid shirt.  You can tell this kid gets plus. Look at that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Did I have a single friend? I don't know. Also, I love how the backpack is the same size as my most of my body. This is on Christmas. I've got some footy pajamas on. There's, I think those are dog treats on the floor. And I've got my fire bolt. And I've got my quitted uniform. And of course, some sweet goggles to protect my eyes from the wind and the rain. I was a big, big, big, big Harry Potter fan girl. Look at this. Oh my god, decked out to the nines I was. Again, so this is what happens when your mom cuts your hair and then it grows out. It's rough. It's really rough. Nothing on the outfit fits me. Not a single thing. That shirt is way too big for me. Why did they, did they just not make shirts small enough for me back then? I don't know why my parents weren't like, that shirt's way too big. Those pants are way too big. Those shoes are probably too big. Again, look at those teeth. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, this was, my school had like a music performance. That's the music teacher back there, Mrs. Ferrante. We had a musical performance and so I played Maliguena on the guitar. On the guitar? That's how I said it back then.  Oh my god. I remember too, when I started the song, I played one chord and then I went, is it loud enough?   More drip, more drip. That shirt's actually kind of cool. This is a modeling photo. Oh yeah. It doesn't even look like me. Who is that? That literally doesn't look like me. This is me and Max the day that we got him. I wish I had more photos of this stage. This is the longest my hair ever was. It was real, real long. That's Max. Oh, is it a little puppy? This is horrible. You know, what can I say? You know a winner when you see one and boy was I a winner. Look at me decked out in medals. Yes. Oh yes. At least, you know, it doesn't look good with a buzz cut. And by it, I mean me. But at least it's better than when my mom cut my hair. Hear me more photos. You know, what can I say? A winner. Don't, I hate that. Oh yes. Look at this. This is what a true manor looks like guys. Again, this photo doesn't even really look like me. Kind of, I don't know. Oh, this is me and my dad at the first packs that I ever went to. Packsie 2014. Look at us. Very similar. We both make the same dumb face when we take pictures. This is the first fish I ever caught. Oh my God. With it conveniently covering this other child's face. That's nice. I remember like freaking out when that happened because all of the adults were up. This is at our like friends camp or cottage. And they're all just like sitting, drinking beer up on the porch or whatever. And I had sat out there for hours on this dock. And I finally caught the fish. And I like yelled for my parents and they thought that I was hurt. Cause I was like, ah, ah. They were like, what's wrong son?  This is me and my junior prom. Look at me.  The suave hair. I've got the bow tie. I've got the tux. Wow. Oh, this is me when I bought my first car. Back in Maine, a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. Got it for 13 big ones. That was cool actually. It's like buying my first car. That was a really special thing. I didn't have any credit. And so my mom had to co-sign, but I made all of those payments myself. It was great. And it was a stick, which is what I wanted. Oof. All right. This is when I played Ultimate Frisbee. Um, and this was the uniform. The socks were mine, unfortunately. But the shorts, that was the jersey. A weird choice. This was me after I had my first allergy attack ever. And I was sitting on the hospital bed. This is way after the allergy attack happened. This was sad day. This day that I actually legitimately almost died. But whatever. Me and Andrew Harrington, you guys know Andrew. This was our eighth grade celebration. So this was exactly, was it 2010? This was 2010. So that's Andrew. That's me. We weren't good looking kids, um, by any means. Yuck. Oh, braces too. That's rough. Oof. Me with braces again. I was excited for braces. Why was I excited for braces? They don't look good at all. But I don't know. Some of you guys might relate. Like I was super pumped to get braces. I was like, this is a part of growing up. I'm an adult now. I have braces. I don't know what this is. Why am I holding my dad's hand while I point and fucking? Oh yeah. This is where my braces were getting put on. Look at those teeth. Look at those beautiful white, pearly whites. That's what my teeth looked like before the braces. My teeth are okay now. I, this, this teeth is, is all fucking. Oh, this was another one of my senior photos. We had to have like a senior portrait and then like another photo. And so my dad took a picture of me doing YouTube. That's at the house that I, that I lived in after like 16 or so. My dad still lives there. But yeah. Hell yeah. Blue Yeti. Oh yes. Yes. Oh yeah. These two. So this is what happens when you have an allergy attack. This is a photo of me. I like three o'clock in the morning one, one time when I had an allergy attack.  So, play a pretty loud. There's that for the internet. There you go. Oh, it's me and my brother. Look at that. That is so cute.  Me and my, me and my brother. When I was a little baby.  Look at those overalls, dude. My brother's worried about something. My dad's hair was cool. Oh, this is the day that I moved to LA. This is cute. In November 1st, 2016. That was at, that was at the airport. That was the last picture I took with my parents. After this picture, out on a plane left. I talked about my mom giving me haircuts. But at my brother's college graduation. The day before I had some long hair.  So I went and got a haircut from this place.  Look at that. Oh my God, it was so bad. And I didn't have, I went like right before the graduation. So I didn't have any hair gel or anything. Oh my God.  Oh, this is me. I moved into my brother's room after he graduated. So I moved into his room because he had the bigger room. So this is me on the bed shredding on the guitar. And then there was like a cool desk thing over here. That was actually a really cool room. I never did YouTube over here for some reason. I always set it up in front of my bed when I made videos in my room. I don't know why. Oh yeah, me and Andrew again. My parents were having like a party for the holidays. So we served. We did some serving. And we pretended to be waiters. Oh, it was great. Look at that. Look at that. I think this is the same night one of the Mrs. Thompson videos were made. Look at that. Andrew always wore cargo pants no matter what. Oh, what was this for? I don't remember. I guess this was Halloween maybe question mark. I don't remember this at all. Oh, it's me at graduation walking down the aisle. My brother strangling me in a pool. Wonderful. Oh, me and my dad and my grandma and my mom and my brother still with those overalls. Pretty sweet. Me at graduation smoking a cigar. Ethan, you're going to get canceled. Me and my brother. That's pretty cute. Me and my brother. That's pretty cute.  Otherwise, I was crying because he was giving me chest nuggies and it hurt. Oh, I'm about to let loose with that hose. Look at that. I had a balding stage. I had a weird fryer tuck haircut. As you can see, I have a little bit right here, but my hairline stopped. Right back here.  Oh my God. Oh, Christmas. What did we get? What did we get for Christmas? What is it? Oh, it's a Lego set. The soccer set. I don't remember having that at all. We had like huge tubs of Legos that my mom threw away. She did the mom thing and didn't ask us and just threw them all away. Why is he just putting his finger in my mouth? What are you doing to me? He's trying to choke me. Oh, Chawanky. Every year, my school, not every year, in sixth grade, every sixth grade class, went on a camping trip for a week in Chawanky, which was a campground, I guess, in Maine, in northern Maine.  You couldn't go to the bathroom in a bathroom. You had to go and dig a hole in the woods. It was great. That's my childhood. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed. There were a lot of other photos, but there was a lot of photos that were like, I can't show that. Let me know what you thought of my old self from the past. What if you thought I was a cute kid? Let me know. I'll take the compliments. So thanks for watching. If you have cute photos of you as a kid, you can't put them in the comments, but cherish them. All right. See you later. I don't know what this outro is. Bye.


Income tax 2022-2023, business expenses, insurance. Let's do some wealth preservation with some tax preparation. Most of this information comes from the tax guide for small business for individuals who use Schedule C, Publication 334 Tax Year 2022. You can find on the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. Looking at the income tax formula we're focused online, one income. Remember in the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement, but just to outline other forms, schedules flowing into these line items. One of those, the Schedule C, having business income minus business expenses, the net business income from the Schedule C, in essence flowing in to line one income of our income tax formula. The form 1040, noting that the Schedule C flows into the Schedule 1, that flows into page one form 1040, line number eight.

Got the Schedule C, profit or loss from business has an income statement structure, income minus expenses, we're focused mainly on the expense side of things here, expenses related to insurance. All right, so insurance, you can generally deduct premiums you pay for the following kinds of insurance related to your business. Now, obviously how insurance works is you're gonna be safeguarding usually against some kind of future event. So clearly you would think then the insurance would be a deductible business item because you're safeguarding risk related to the business. Now, when we get into other kinds of insurance, then it gets a little bit more complicated. For example, if we have the health insurance, we'll discuss shortly, then that's a situation where it's kind of like a personal expense, but it's also one of like a muddy kind of area or a gray type of area because oftentimes when we have an employee, employee or situation, then the employee or might be providing the insurance to the employee. And because we want a similar kind of structure on the Schedule C kind of system, then we might have a situation where we can basically deduct the health insurance in some instances, although it might not be on the Schedule C in that case, but rather an above the line deduction. So we'll touch on that, but generally the types of insurance that are insurance related to the businesses we can deduct. Now, the other thing, and because they would be ordinary and necessary, they would fall into the category of ordinary and necessary. The other thing that's a little bit confusing about insurance is unlike other types of expenses, you generally prepay the insurance.  The insurance is also a little bit more intangible most of the times, which can be a little bit confusing as well. So in other words, if we pay for say the telephone bill or the utility bill, usually we use the telephone, we use the utility, and then they bill us based on how much we used, and that's the billing process. For insurance, we have to plan the insurance that's gonna cover some period into the future, pay for it in advance, because that's the point of insurance, and then we're gonna get the benefit from it in the future. That means we have this kind of prepayment type of situation that if from an accrual basis, you would think that you would have to basically allocate the cost of the amount that you paid over the life of the insurance, and so you also wanna consider the timing of when you're gonna be taking the expense for the payment of the insurance. If you pay the insurance monthly, it's usually pretty close to the point in time that you got the benefit, but if you pay the insurance on a yearly basis, then you have a fairly substantial difference between when you paid it and when you got the benefit. Also note that you might think, well, I didn't get any benefit from insurance unless a tragedy happens and they repay me the insurance, but that's not exactly true because the benefit that you're getting is the insurance, the coverage. So the fact that you're covered in the event that something happens is what we are getting for the insurance, even if something bad does not happen, which we hope something bad doesn't happen, we're covered. So that means that we're consuming the insurance as the coverage period is passing even if nothing has actually happened. All right, so you might have then fire insurance. You might have theft insurance, flood insurance, similar insurance. These kinds of insurance will be specific to the type of industry that we are in. Obviously, if we have a store or something like that, fire and theft, if we have inventory, theft is gonna be more important oftentimes and flood might be something specific to a particular location, for example, more likely to have, say, flood insurance. Credit insurance that covers losses from business bad debts. So now that's clearly a business-type related insurance and in essence, making credit sales and insurance on that three group and that will be a specialized insurance you would think as well. Number two, group hospitalization and medical insurance for employees, including long-term care insurance. So now we're saying we're Schedule C business. If you don't have any employees as a Schedule C business, then we're not talking about the medical insurance here, although you might have a medical insurance for yourself that we might deduct not on the Schedule C, but possibly an above-the-line type of the deduction, adjustment to income type of deduction. This would be employees. If we have employees, then we might have the group hospitalization and medical insurance for them, including long-term care insurance. And then for liability insurance, that's probably the most common one for any kind of business, even if you don't have inventory, even if you're just and you don't have a store or something, you still might have liability insurance as a common type of business insurance. Five, malpractice insurance that covers your personal liability for professional negligence resulting in injury or damage to patients or clients. That would be specific to an industry where you're dealing with patients and clients. Generally, you would think, right? You would have malpractice insurance possibly, which would be an insurance that would be work-related. You would assume six, workers' compensation insurance set by state law that covers any claims for bodily injuries or job-related diseases suffered by employees in your business regardless of fault. So that's kind of a mandatory insurance, oftentimes, that would be workers' comp. And again, you'd have to pay it. It would be business-related. If you want to do business, you might have to pay the workers' comp so you would expect it would be a deductible item. Seven, contributions to a state unemployment insurance fund are deductible as taxes if they are considered taxes under state law. Number eight, so now we're forced to pay that as a business so you would think it would be an ordinary and necessary expense of doing business. Overhead insurance that pays for business overhead expenses you have during long periods of disability caused by your injury or sickness. Nine, car and other vehicle insurance that covers vehicles used in your business for liability, damages, and other losses. This is another one that gets a little bit messy because the car is something that if it's a business automobile that you would expect that the costs related to it would be deductible, but you have the issue of is it business and personal and what's gonna be the methods that you're gonna be using to deduct car. So if you operate a vehicle partially for personal use deduct only the part of insurance premium that applies to the business use of the vehicle. If you use the standard mileage rate to figure your car expenses you cannot deduct any car insurance premiums. So we talked about the car in the past. Remember the thought process is the standard mileage method is usually gonna be easier to calculate than the actual mileage method and you have to kind of think about which one to use when you first put the car in place and so on and so forth. So you can check that one out if you wanna go into more detail with that. 10, life insurance covering your employees if you are not directly or indirectly the beneficiary under the contract. So now you have the life insurance usually life insurance is set up. So now you're providing life insurance possibly for the employees. And so because it's a employee benefit possibly then it being deductible on the schedule C usually the life insurance beneficiary will be the family of the person of the employee in that case, not yourself, right? If it was yourself, that would be a weird kind of situation where it may change things up a bit. 11, business interruption insurance that pays for lost profits if your business is shut down due to a fire or other cause. So you might buy insurance you might say, hey, look, I need my income. If there's a break in the income due to these items it would be catastrophic. My business would go under so maybe you set up an insurance in the event that that kind of problem happens to get you through that gap point would be the idea and if it's business insurance you would think would be ordinary and necessary. So non deductible premiums you cannot deduct premiums on the following kinds of insurance. One, self-insured reserve funds you cannot deduct amounts credited to a reserve set up for self-insurance. This applies even if you cannot get business insurance coverage for certain business risks.  And so I'm just gonna put some money away as my insurance fund. I'm not gonna touch it unless there's an issue in which case I'll dip into it. So I'm kind of self-insuring myself. That might not be a bad strategy to take to do that sometimes. Although some of the types of insurance that comes up like fire insurance or something is usually because the event is so big and catastrophic that it would be very difficult to self-insure. If you can self-insure against minor events like whatever happens that makes it so I can't work for a couple that would be like a savings fund or an emergency fund basically, which is kind of like a self-insurance type of thing. You can do that, but you can't just deduct the fact that you're holding money into an account because you're saying I'm not gonna touch it for insurance. Right, it's my insurance fund. I'm not gonna touch it. Well, you still have the money. You could touch it. It's not like insurance really. So however, your actual losses may be deductible. So when there's a problem and then you spend the money for the losses or when the losses happen, then that would be deductible. So for more information, see publication 5472, a loss of earnings. You cannot deduct premiums for a policy that pays you for your lost earnings due to sickness or disability. However, see item eight in the previous list. Okay, so three, certain life insurance and annuities. A, for contracts, so now we've got the life insurance and annuities, which often are tied together with the life insurance companies all the time. So A, your contracts issued before June 1997, you cannot deduct the premiums on a life insurance policy covering you and employee or any person with a financial interest in your business if you are directly or indirectly a beneficiary that's key point of the policy. So you are included among possible beneficiaries of the policy if the policy owner is obligated to repay a loan from you using the proceeds of the policy. So that would be someone trying to work around this thing with saying it's a loan situation. So a person has a financial interest in your business if the person is an owner or port owner of the business or has lent money to the business. All right, B, for contracts issued after June 8th, 1997, you generally cannot deduct the premiums on any life insurance policy endowment contract or annuity contract if you are directly or indirectly a beneficiary. The disallowed supplies without regard to whom the policy covers. Four, insurance to secure a loan. If you take out a policy on your life or on the life of another person with a financial interest in your business to get or protect a business loan, you cannot, so now they're gonna use it as collateral kind of rate. So you cannot deduct the premiums as a business expense nor can you deduct the premium as interest or business loans or as an expense of financing loans. In the event of death, the proceeds of the policy are not taxed as income even if they are used to liquidate the debt. All right, self-employed health insurance deduction. You may be able to deduct the amount you paid for medical and dental insurance and qualified long-term care insurance for you and your family. So this is kind of the weird one that comes into play here because usually you would think most of those other insurance things were business related. They're insurance for my employees or they are insurance for liability insurance. So you would think they'd be ordinary and necessary and therefore deductible although you still have that question of the timing of when you're gonna basically deduct them on the accounting methods that are gonna be used and whatnot but you're gonna say, okay, that makes sense but when you're dealing with an employee, like a lot of these laws that you can kind of make sense of them by looking at the structure of a corporation. So in a corporation, you've got and you deal with the interplay between the employees and the employers because remember that we are not an employee of our Schedule C business and that we don't issue ourselves a W-2. However, we're still treated as an employee of the business in that we're paying the self-employment tax and some of the other kind of relation in the form of self-employment taxes kind of similar payroll taxes. So other kind of situations come up when they pass laws that have an impact on an employee or situation which is typically focused on corporations that have a similar kind of impact when you're saying, hey, what about me? A little guy over here at the Schedule, the sole proprietorship I should get some kind of benefit related to that as well, shouldn't I?  So in a C corporation, for example, you would think that the, as we saw that the health insurance might be a deductible item for the employee that we saw even on the Schedule C but you can see it on a C corporation employee employer situation as well. So you might think, hey, I'm kind of being treated as an employee, shouldn't I get a similar kind of benefit? And that's why even though the health insurance is kind of a personal, as opposed to a business expense, you would think it would be a legitimate kind of expense. Okay, so how to figure the deduction? Generally, you can use the worksheet in the instructions for form 1040 to figure your deduction. However, if any of the following apply, you must use the worksheet in chapter six of publication 535. So you have more than one source of income subject to self-employment tax, that's gonna complicate things. You file form 2555 relating to foreign-earned income. You are using amounts paid for qualified long-term care insurance to figure the deduction. So you can also see publication 8962 and its separate instructions and publication 974 if the insurance plan established or considered to be established under your business was obtained through health insurance marketplace. So that also complicate health insurance market and you are claiming the premium tax credit. So you can dive into that in more detail. The general idea would be if I have my personal insurance, then I may not be able to deduct that on the schedule C but it might be an above the line deduction from income type of deduction. And the questions then would be, well, do I have access to insurance other than my schedule C business? Did I have the capacity to get insurance through say an employer or a spouse's employer, which can kind of complicate the situation because you can see from the IRS's perspective, they would kind of like an employee-employer situation is what they usually, and so you would think that it could complicate things if you had access to an insurance through the employee-employer's relationship from yourself or your spouse if you had a W2 wages in some kind in addition to your schedule C type of business. Now, the health insurance marketplace kind of muddies things up. You might know that as like Obamacare, right? And so what happened with that whole situation is you had the two people going in different directions for the argument. One group was arguing that we need to have a single payer system that's basically more centralized and standardized and whatnot. And that would also reduce the free rider problem because they would force everybody to have insurance for health insurance like they do with the car insurance. And the other side was saying, no, you can't force people to buy insurance. And if we centralized everything, you're gonna make the whole health insurance worse. The whole reason that we're the best, we have some of the best stuff is because of competition. So you should, to lower prices, you should increase the competition and open more types of insurance and allow companies regulate them, but allow companies in and allow states to have different policies and whatnot. So they ended up obviously squished in the middle here. So now they can't, they don't generally mandate the health insurance because I believe that was kind of struck down as unconstitutional. And but they still have this credit for the health insurance marketplace type of thing. And that kind of muddies up the system. So if you get a, because if you get a, if your income is below a certain threshold, you might be able to get this credit which basically lowers the premiums that you're paying into the health insurance marketplace. So you kind of get in a prepayment of the credit which is gonna complicate the amount of money that you paid for the insurance policy, which is gonna complicate how much you could deduct for the insurance policy. So if you're in that situation, you can dive into these publications for more detail on it.


Trini Girl Natural. Hi everyone, welcome to my channel. We also naturally if I do that I will wear a pre-poo and we all wanted to try it within me but since I'm the kind of person that me and Fresh Stuff don't really get along I decided to try side by side with like the fresh aloe leaf on one side and like the store bought or natural of course aloe gel on the other side because I think naturally if I was saying that the fresh leaf was not better than the store bought and my first thought was like well which store bought are you buying are you buying the edible kind you know are you buying the 99% pure kind like what are you buying so I decided to match up the aloe leaf against like a real top of the line store bought aloe gel and just see how they perform against each other I'm the kind of person that I just got anxiety every time I have to buy something and use it before it goes bad so like kind of aloe vera leaves I wasn't too sure about it and I guess if I'd thought I would have probably bought a plant but the one time I bought that leaf and I had that huge leaf across the whole section of my fridge scared me half the time looking like a dead snake in there you know people are like what is that near a fridge and like you know it's just a whole lot of drama that a modern girl sometimes doesn't want to have to do it so if you were thinking about trying to aloe creepoo but you wanted to know if you really had to go to get the leaf and like one of the pros and cons and stuff like that take a look at my demo and just see how the two of them stacked up against each other so I start off by just cutting the end of the leaf and then cutting about one inch sections this is the dell inside then I just cut the sides off then I slice each piece in half to expose the gel this is the amount that I'll be using on half of my hair then I use surround wrap just to help seal the exposed aloe leaf to keep it fresh and I use a napkin to help block the light and again you know keep it fresher so now it's time to apply this is my hair before and starting with the aloe I just kind of wipe the excess gel into my hair and then I start puncturing to expose gel so the gel it was just exposed didn't last very long I had to puncture pretty soon and I spent a good bit of my time puncturing to expose gel and then applying it so it did take a while to do all of that that's the finished section versus the untouched section and you can see the struggle was very real with those huge gloves that were just everywhere so once that's done I just kind of put it back in the little pigtail and that's me completely finished with both sections and then this is the aloe vera gel from lily of the desert yes you see it so this went on a lot easier it was just a lot faster to apply no puncturing I just kind of pour and put and I did use smaller sections as well I just didn't show that and that's that section then so they look almost the same except the side of the real from the real plan this kind of you know you can see the aloe it's not blended in as well they're more lumps and it was just less liquidy the side with the aloe from the store the bottle was just easy to distribute and you know kind of went on smooth but other than that my hair looks pretty much the same so far because my hair is my area doesn't really get wet and it doesn't really absorb product which I say like every video so yeah now I just do my oil pre-poo which you've seen before basically I just kind of get some oil onto my scalp I don't put extra oil on my hair but there's so much of my scalp that it gets down to my hair when I do the pre-hands method then I massage my scalp that's it I just twist it up but first let me have a little fun now put on my bonnet and get ready for bed and this is the next day I'm taking it down you're seeing what I'm seeing kind of like my fresh reaction I'm like looking for a difference it feels about the same the side with the lily of a desert gel is a little bit wetter because you know the gel itself was wetter the gel from the plant wasn't very wasn't as wet I guess as the gel from the bottle which was a lot more runny but other than the store bought gel started being a little wetter it felt just as moisturized just as soft just as everything other than the extra water it looked pretty much the same and felt pretty much the same I guess it wasn't a big wow for me but I guess you know I know that going in because you know my relationship with aloe vera is a little bit strange due to my watery texture my cuticles are already sealed not much is getting in and my extracts are coarse so not much really makes a difference at least this way I have to like you know add heat and stuff like that humectants and stuff like that to really get moisture in so yeah for me it was a nice experiment get to try but didn't do that much for me so I probably won't be doing it again my hair looked really similar in the end my hair was wetter on the store bought aloe vera gel side it was just stuff just had more water which I guess for me it's probably a bad thing because I don't want my hair to be wet overnight if I can help it but it definitely spread a lot easier was a lot faster was a lot less drama to just open a store bought bottle and just like use it as opposed to slicing cutting making sure that's in spoil applying and hoping that the cutters and jagged to like tear to strands pushing and like trying to release gel so like if I was to use the plant again I would probably blend it but you know my goddess not sure if I was like pushing everybody was like doing that and I did with it but as you saw I have a lot of gloves in my hair some people said I did not experience that so maybe my leaf wasn't the freshest I just got it at the grocery so that could be the issue there but it definitely took more time to like keep releasing gel than if you just had it in a bottle and you could just pour plus the one on the bottle can last for like for me I use it long-term let's just say as opposed to being cautious about the leaf spoiling and the leaf just taking up space near fridge and looking scary you know all of that in terms of course my leaf cost me about 150 and you saw the size of it and I think you can get about three uses out of that the store bought gel was like 750 and I think I might get like 12 uses so the leaf was cheaper and fresher the bottle is just more convenient for applying but other than that my results were pretty much the same so once I was well so I didn't have to kind of account for that but in terms of softness and in terms of look other than the actual water I think my results were pretty much the same so if you're thinking about trying the pre-pool but you're not really a leaf girl you can just go ahead and pick up a bottle of the edible aloe vera gel and try it it just depends on what you want to do I think for me like my hair being wiry and ultra low porosity it didn't really make that much of a difference for me so my hair was a little bit softer but not my will was not up to anything so for me personally warm warm it didn't work that well for me but definitely try it especially if your hair is in a different texture for mine if your hair is not wiry and if you don't have like the lowest of the low porosity then it might work better for you for me I have a tricky relationship with aloe vera and it kind of goes on top of my moisture it doesn't moisturize myself it goes on top of the water and product as opposed to moisturizing myself if you love aloe vera definitely give it a try personally it's a little bit relieved that it didn't work because it's just like okay one last thing that I have to think about maybe doing honestly so you DIYers get on it and now you have options I'm close to you and I hope you at least saw some tips and do's and don'ts about using the aloe vera gel as a pre-pool and hopefully I have you some ideas about what might work for you and maybe how to modify it so definitely blending and streaming is good if you're using the leaf if you're using the store bought gel maybe try to put a little bit less or something because my hair is not really wet so let me directly try the aloe vera pre-pool let me know if you want to try it in the comments below and definitely like and subscribe for more content see you in the next
