I need your advice for my upcoming appraisal review board protest hearing.

Last August, I bought a house with my brother. My brother co-signed because I don't make enough to buy a house on my own. But I pay all the mortgages and everything. Both my name and my brother name are on the loan. My brother is married and he lives at another county.

I applied homestead exemption a few months ago and I received that I will only get 50%. So I appealed and received a notice to attend the protest hearing.

How can I prepare for the protest hearing? What usually happen during the hearing? What evidence do I need to provide? Thank you.

Hello IT professionals of Houston,

What do you think is the best to learn in order to find a full time job? I'm willing to learn anything required for a job. I don't have IT background and I don't have a college degree.

I'm planning to give 3 hours everyday studying. Right now, I'm learning active directory and powershell. My plan also include SQL, C# and .NET.

I think I am also going for A+ and CCNA certification in near future.

Please give me your suggestion or feedback. Thank you in advance.

I have a mucocele on my bottom lip for about a week. Can anyone tell me how you treat mucocele? I know that surgery can be done to remove it but I don't have health insurance. For those of you who have had a mucocele removed how much did it cost?

I have a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. I'm looking for a mechanic who can install PCV fix kit from cruzekits.com. So far, I have asked three shops and all of them said no because it's not GM approved parts and liability. It is too complex for me to do it on my own.
