I have been on the generic form of Wellbutrin for only about a week, but I am having a fair amount of dizziness. It will come on suddenly, end quickly and generally happens when I move to fast, turn my head or turn my focus from one thing to another (tv to computer). It is not debilitating, but it does worry me for instance what if it happens when I am driving and checking my blind-spot to change lanes, ect.

I know it takes a while for medications to take effect and level out in your body, but I am wondering if anyone knows how long that might take. Should I give it two weeks? Two months? ???

Also, I transferred from Zoloft to Wellbutrin - does that have anything to do with it?

Thanks

I have an iPod Touch. I have 600+ songs on my ipod. I somehow lost my music on my computer and now (since iTunes can't find where they file originates) I have lost my music in my iTunes as well.

How do I either find my lost music or copy the music from my iPod Touch to my computer?

Please don't tell me to "enable disk use". It doesn't seem to exist on the iPod Touch.

Thanks.

I have always had issues with my digestive system, constipation. Laxitives never worked (Milk of Mag., Phosphorus Soda, Exlax, Benefiber, ect). Then I started taking Miralax and the problem was solved. Miralax pulls water into your intestines to make it easier for you to "go". But, about 3 weeks ago my system just kinda shut down. I didn't have a bowel movement for 3 days (which was very odd because when I started the Miralax I would "go" at least 2-3 times per day). I had INTENSE pain so my doctor did an MRI and she said it was normal. Then I did an enima - that only helped a little and I went back to not having a bowel movement for another 3 days. So, now I am doing Probiotics (15 billion of 10 different strains). My stomach doesn't hurt, but I am definately not back to normal. I would say I am only evacuating about 1/10 of what I take in.

At this point, I am getting a little worried. I am not sure how long a body can go without truly clearing out the bowel. I am worried about getting an obstruction. I am worried about getting sick.

If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it.

I have a car loan for $5k with an interest rate of 5%. I pay this monthly (of course). I also have about $20k in student loans (unsubsidized) at 6.8% interest. But I don't have to pay these right now because I am still in school.

Which would be better to pay off first the loan with the lower balance and interest rate because it will free up cashflow or the higher balances and rate even though I don't have to pay those yet?

My sister just gave me her ipod Touch. The screen doesn't work. I have read that I can try restoring it, but since this was her ipod and not mine I don't have any of the data backed up on my computer.... so if I restore I lose all her music.

I have read you can download software to copy data from you ipod to your computer, but I can't make it work because my ipod screen won't work and I can't unlock it.

Any ideas on how I can save the data and fix the ipod?

I am a bookkeeper/accountant in Austin, TX. I have 6 yrs experience in several facets of accounting including INVENTORY, STOCK-TAKE, FULL CYCLE A/R, FULL CYCLE A/P, FIXED ASSETS & DEPRECIATION, END OF MONTH CLOSE, PROGRESS INVOICING & REVENUE RECOGNITION, GENERAL LEDGER ENTRIES & RECONCILIATION, PAYROLL & PAYROLL TAXES & SALES TAX REPORTS.

I do not have a degree yet; I am in school now, though. When I look up salaries on the normal salary websites it is a little difficult to know what to ask for. They have job listing like Account Specialist, Accounting Assistant, Bookkeeper, Staff Accountant, ect. and for the most part they all do primarily the same duties, but have vastly different pay rates.

So, I have an interview coming up, what should I ask for?

I will be asked to do pretty much all the items listed above except Fixed Assets and A/R. 58 employees & >10 Million in sales revenue.

I am legally married in the state of Texas (3 years). My husband bought his house 3 years before he met me. We currently live there together; however, I do not put any money towards the mortgage. His name is on the house, mine is not. If I were to start paying towards the mortgage, would I have any legal rights to the house if we got divorced?

Getting Uterine Ablation at Seton Medical in Austin, TX. Want to know how much the outpatient surgery costs? Not asking how much my portion will be, just what the hospital will bill?

My husband and I have a friend that constantly jokes about selling us his business. It is a car wash which is a business that my husband knows. We would be required to buy the land and building, thus the large price tag.

We have never run a business before and have less than 100,000 in assets. I just want to know what kind of down payment we would need, what will be required as calateral, what kind of rate we might get (a range is fine)?

Just want some basic information so we can decide whether it is something we would like to work towards.

I am taking classes at a private university, the classes are very expensive so I am transferring in a lot of my credits. One of the options they suggested to me was to take "Distance Learning" classes online. I am concerned that if I am only registered for the "Distance Learning" classes that my student loans will become due.

Will my federal loans become due if I am registered for 6 hours of "Distance Learning" classes?

I am an adult non-traditional student. There are only 2 local universities that offer night courses for your full degree. I am enrolled in one of them, a private school, but the other is just as expensive.

So, it will now take $60,000 or so to get my degree. Is that too much for just a Bachelor's?

I am thinking of getting my CPA. I had heard that, in addition to taking the exam, you need to work for a CPA firm for two years before you can get your license. Is that true? All the website I have visited only talk about the exam and fee and school requirements.

My mother wants to sell me her land. It has a house with a renter. If I take the land and let the renter stay, but give my mother the money, that's still rental income isn't? Will I still have to report it on my tax returns?

We have an alcoholic in the family. Others in my family want to have an intervention, but I have been going to al anon recently and it seem like all the literature says that it won't help unless the alcoholic actually wants to change. She doesn't.

So, my question, preferable to anyone in Al Anon, is an intervention a good idea? I know in Al Anon we don't every try to tell anyone one what they should or shouldn't do, but if you could give me an opinion or tell be about any prior experience, I would really really appreciate it.

Until Friday I was working at a company I hated. The job was listed as a bookkeeper, but turned out to be mostly admin work (which I hate and specifically asked if I would have to do). I had been planning to leave the job for some time, but Friday was the last straw. I left and haven't been back.

Since leaving I have taken that job off my resume because I was only there 3 months. The problem is, I was applying to jobs while I was still there and just got a call from a placement agency that has one of the old resumes with that job on it. How do I explain to the person I interview with that I walked out without notice?

If the new people call my old place they will not say nice things about me and I can't lie and say I did give notice because they will most likely find out I didn't.

How do I explain it?

My husband feels that the outside world should not affect our marriage, meaning if I am depressed about work I shouldn't bring it home with me. I don't feel that way. I think that since I can't pitch a fit and just quit my job I should be able to deal with it and be depressed at home.

It seems to me that it is a real fundamental difference in what we think a marriage should be. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to get a divorce based off of what I hear here, but I do want to know if it really seems like an issue to address to anyone else.

Extra Info: We both had bad examples as children. His parents never spent any time together (seriously - none - the dad was living in the same house, but stayed away 18 hours a day). My family was emotionally abusive (mother is a Borderline Personality Disorder - if you know what that mean then you know I have no concept of a stable love relationship). So we both have distorted views and that is why I want an outside opinion.

Thanks.

I hate my job. I hate it. I feel sick just thinking of going into the office. I am actually having slight psychosomatic symptoms. I can last 4 months without a job. I had an interview with a bookkeeping company, but haven't really started yet because it's tax season and she's busy. The job is supposed to go full time, but like I said it is slow moving.

I really really really don't think I can handle that place anymore. The place is very "competitive" meaning "watch you back". The boss is very intense, unfair & unreasonable. Because he is like that, he makes person A pay for person B's mistake, hence everyone is out to make everyone else look bad. Basically, they are trying to make sure the person next to them looks like more of a screw-up then they do. I am not the type of person who can do that to another person and I don't want to become like them.

Do you think it is reasonable or responsible to quit?

I am thinking of becoming self employed. Before doing so I want to understand my tax obligations. According to irs.gov I would be required to pay 13.3% for Self-Employment Tax (ss & medicare) and then pay income tax as well. It makes sense until you realized that you are basicly paying double the ss & medicare. Can that be correct? Do you get penalized for being self employed and have to pay more in taxes?

I would appreciate any help you could give me. Live in Texas.

Thanks.

We have QuickBooks Pro 2012 in our office. We also have an outside accounting firm doing the accounting. My boss wants me to be able to do the A/P and for the accounting firm to do the rest. However, the outside firm does not want to give me access to their system for A/P data entry. Our outside accounting firm wants to know if we can export journal transactions from our system to be imported into theirs. (So that my job isn't a redundancy.) But when I checked it looked like the only things you can export are lists (chart of accounts, vendor lists, customer lists, ect). It says you can import iif files, which means they can import the transactions, but doesn't show me a way to export general ledger transactions in iif format.

Does anyone know if what they are asking for is possible?

Little more background. By boss doesn't want to rely on an outside firm for the a/p (there have been issues in the past), but as it stands now he is basicly paying both of us to do the same transactions twice. My numbers (a/p) are supposed to be used to pull job costing reports, but he did hire me thinking I could get access to the system.
