Check out my new Live Course: Speak Naturally In American English: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/speak-naturally-in-american-englishThanks. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. You're the best. I owe you one.Saying thank you in English seems easy, right? Just say, “Thank you.” But honestly, in everyday conversation, we don't always use the same expression. If someone holds the door open for you, “I sincerely appreciate your kindness” sounds way too formal. And if your friend helps you move all day, just saying, “Thanks,” might not feel like enough. That's because how we thank someone depends on the situation and how much we want to show appreciation. And that's what we're going to dive into today.The Happy English PodcastHelping people speak English better since 2014Over 1,000 episodes • 8 million downloads

Should I Turn Down My Inheritance? Episode 386 – Why would you ever choose NOT to accept an inheritance? There are a few good reasons. And it's doable if you decide that's what you want. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 386 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: should I turn down my inheritance? So, a family member has died recently and left some assets to you. You should be happy you've been left an inheritance, but it's complicated. Maybe you'd rather the money went to someone else. Or maybe, for whatever reason, it's just not worth the trouble. Do you have to accept it? The answer is no. Why would you ever choose not to accept assets that someone has given to you? There are a few situations where it makes sense. One case might be related to federal or state estate taxes. If you're already a high-net-worth individual who may have an estate tax issue, it may be better to disclaim, assuming your preferred beneficiary is next in line. This is especially true if the next beneficiaries are your children, who are likely to inherit your assets eventually. Why subject the assets to an extra layer of taxation on the way there? Also, inheriting certain assets, such as a traditional IRA, can be very complicated. When you inherit an IRA, unless you're a surviving spouse, current tax law requires you to withdraw the funds—and pay income taxes along the way—within ten years. If you're in a high-income tax bracket, you might not end up with as much as you hoped for. The next person in line, who might be in a lower income tax bracket, could end up with more money after taxes. And they may need the income more than you do. One sophisticated strategy some people use is to set up their favorite charity as a secondary beneficiary to their estate. If the IRA owner trusts his or her heirs' judgment, he or she could leave the IRA to them. They would then figure out whether it makes sense to disclaim the IRA, allowing it to pass to the charity. This could result in considerable income tax savings.[1] Sometimes there are other reasons you might choose to disclaim. The asset could be a rundown piece of real estate with deferred maintenance or environmental issues. In a case like that, you might decide that you just don't want it. Or maybe you simply don't need it. That could be a key consideration if the next person in line is your child or someone else you care about. Just keep in mind that it gets tricky if the new inheritor is a minor. Minors are considered legally incapable of owning assets directly, so they generally can't assume control or management of inherited assets. A court-appointed legal guardianship may be required.[2] So, what happens if you decide the answer is “no, thanks?” You would then need to file what's called a “qualified disclaimer.” If you do it properly, the assets pledged to you will be passed along to the next person in line. Although every state and every situation is different, here are some generic rules you might need to follow:[3] The disclaimer must be in writing. It also needs to be irrevocable and without any qualifications. Once you decide to disclaim, you can't change your mind. Also, you're not allowed to make it contingent on something else happening or not happening. The disclaimer must be made before you accept the assets. You can't give them back once you have them. It must be made in a timely manner. You generally need to submit the disclaimer within 9 months. However, there is an exception if the beneficiary is under age 21. In that case, the deadline is nine months after they reach age 21.[4] The disclaimer also needs to be unlimited. You're not going to be able to attach any conditions to the disclaimer. Note that it is also possible to execute a partial qualified disclaimer, but it can be tricky. For example, if you're scheduled to receive a certain number of shares in a publicly traded company, you may be able to keep a selected percentage of those shares while disclaiming the rest.[5] It's important to understand that a qualified disclaimer has its limitations. Maybe the most important of those is that you have to completely give up any right to the disclaimed assets. In other words, if you say no, you don't get to choose what happens next. You'll need to look closely to see where the money will end up if you disclaim. You might prefer that your children be next in line, but it's not your choice. If it's actually your long-lost cousin Ethel, that could also be a factor in your decision. It's not often that people are in a position to decline inherited assets. But in certain situations, it's nice to know that it can be done, if it makes sense.

What if your toddler's refusal to say “thank you” isn't defiance but a clue about how their brain actually works? In this episode I unpack a real-life moment where prompting gratitude backfired, revealing why young children often can't express thankfulness on command. You'll learn how true gratitude is an internal feeling that toddlers are still developing, not a social script they can reliably perform. Instead of enforcing polite words, I share a powerful shift: modeling gratitude by thanking your child first. The result is a more authentic, emotionally grounded path to raising genuinely grateful humans.If you're enjoying the show, please take a moment to rate and review!

Alabama high school football recruiting faces a seismic shift as elite recruits like Jabarrius Garror and Ai'King Hall opt for out-of-state programs, lured by lucrative NIL deals from schools like Oregon, Texas A&M, and Miami. Brian Smith questions whether the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers should keep paying top dollar to keep local talent home, or if business decisions demand more strategic investments—especially when players may not play early. Key insights include analysis of the top 10 Alabama prospects, Auburn and Alabama's evolving NIL strategies, and how winning on the field impacts recruiting. Brian Smith explores the politics of recruiting relationships, the critical need to land in-state linemen, and whether the new approach will boost or cripple Auburn and Alabama's SEC ambitions. Can traditional powerhouses survive with less local talent, or will the NIL era rewrite the SEC landscape? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

From recording holiday classics with Whitney Houston to witnessing the unparalleled professionalism of Aretha Franklin in her own dining room, Taylor shares the kind of "backstage pass" stories that only a true industry titan could tell. As a mentor to host Claude Kelly and a key architect in the careers of icons like Boyz II Men and Tyrese, his presence on the show is more than just a guest appearance—it's a deep-dive masterclass into the art of vocal production and the staying power required to remain a "GOAT" in an ever-changing industry. Beyond the Grammy and Dove Awards, Taylor gets candid about the gritty reality of artist development, reflecting on his pivotal role in transforming a 17-year-old Trey Songz into a global superstar and the often "thankless" nature of a business fueled by ego and politics. He offers an inspiring look at the resilience required to stay as "giddy" about producing today as he was when he started, even after weathering thirty-six years of industry disappointments. Whether he's discussing the "silent prayer" he holds for his former students or his philosophy on the "one person" every artist needs to listen to, Taylor proves exactly why he remains a cornerstone of the culture and a permanent fixture in the R&B hall of fame.  We Sound Crazy is your backstage pass to all things music and culture.

This week Nicole and Michael revisit one of the most confusing traditions on the calendar: Daylight Saving Time. Did you know the U.S. already tried permanent DST in 1974? Nixon pushed it through, people hated dark mornings, and Ford reversed it almost immediately. Now places like British Columbia are considering the same idea — which means some cities could see sunrise close to 10 a.m.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSeven years, dozens of pivots, and a community that turned quotes into running jokes—this final chapter brings it all together with candor and a wink. We open the notebook on how a mother–daughter experiment called More Remarks grew into An Americanist, why the blog faded while the mic stayed hot, and what it really takes to keep an indie show alive when life changes and budgets tighten. The decision to archive isn't a surrender; it's a thoughtful choice about energy, cost, and what deserves space as we move forward.We pull back the curtain on the tech and tactics that made a phone-recorded show sound clean enough to ship, and why Buzzsprout earned our trust through years of reliable support, quick replies, and clear communication—even in the face of a security scare. If you're weighing hosting options, tiers, or mastering upgrades, you'll get the unvarnished take on what's worth paying for and when a free plan with a 90-day window makes more sense for a casual side project like Brood Awakening.Of course, the feed wouldn't sign off without a few stories. We unpack the headline-grabber about Burger King inviting customers to call the company president directly, ask how long a stunt like that can sustain real replies, and what “customer-centric” means when the phone won't stop ringing. Then we wade into tipping culture with a Dear Abby spark: should prompts pop up at drive-thrus, and how should we think about service, pressure, and value in a tight economy? Expect strong opinions, practical nuance, and a few laughs along the way.We end where the best conversations often do—with comedy. Tonight's plan to catch Joe Machi leads to a parting question that belongs to everyone: who's the greatest comedian of all time? If you can't crown one, give us your top three.

✨ If you are new to EFT Tapping Download the free guide here. This EFT meditation is designed for moments of anxiety, mental overwhelm, or when your thoughts feel like they are moving faster than you can keep up. We begin tapping right away and move through 4 intentional rounds, using affirmations that help you recognize what you are feeling, allow it to be there without resistance, and gently guide your mind and body into a calmer, more regulated state. EFT Tapping works by combining light acupressure with focused awareness. As you tap on specific points, you send signals of safety to the brain, helping to reduce the stress response and regulate the nervous system. This can lower emotional intensity, slow racing thoughts, and create space for clarity without needing to “fix” anything. This practice focuses on meeting yourself where you are, letting your body settle naturally, and allowing calm to return on its own - without forcing anything. A perfect way to step out of the cycle of overthinking and back into your body & into the present. With love, Jo 

I want to share say thank you to my angels with wings followers for listening to my podcast

☕️ This meditation is a little different than what we usually do. It's an invitation into comfort, warmth, and slowing down in a way that feels genuinely nourishing.This practice is perfect for moments when you need a soft landing. You're encouraged to make this meditation your own. That might look like a warm beverage, cozy clothes, dim lighting, or simply settling into a space that feels safe and easy for you. We begin this practice with gentle movement followed by stillness, but as always, only do what feels comfortable and supportive for you. There is no right way to experience it. Just meet yourself where you are and let comfort unfold naturally. With love, Jo 

Parents are no longer teaching their children these "old-fashioned" habits, like saying "thank you."

☁️This practice is one of my recent favorite breathing techniques for calming the nervous system quickly and effectively. The physiological sigh (also known as cyclic sighing) involves two inhales through the nose, followed by a slow extended exhale through the mouth. It's a simple yet powerful way to bring your body back into a state of regulation.  This is a great practice if you're feeling anxious, overstimulated, overwhelmed, or just needing to come back into your body. Read more about Cyclic Sighing here.  This breathwork practice is intended for educational and relaxation purposes only and is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. If you have any respiratory, cardiovascular, or medical conditions, or if you experience dizziness, discomfort, or distress at any point, discontinue the practice and consult a qualified healthcare professional. With love, Jo

learn the most common way to say "thank you"

New Bruno Mars music is coming! The Palisades wildfires were exactly 1 year ago, and now Spencer Pratt is running for mayor. What should we really be doing to stay healthy as we age? Plus, a lot of nonsense, giggles, and a totally fair game.

➰With the end of the year upon us, this meditation is a perfect practice to offer ourselves closure, acceptance, and conscious release, and simultaneously, renewal. It allows us to honor what has been, make peace with what remains unresolved, and create space for what is ready to come next. This is an active meditation, inviting you to gently reflect and meet whatever arises with honesty and acceptance.  This meditation is a timeless practice that can be used at the close of any chapter - a season, a relationship, a phase of life, etc.  At the end of the meditation, you'll be offered an additional five minutes of uninterrupted space to rest, reflect, or continue integrating, if you choose. With love, Jo

This Sermon was Preached by Rev. Dr. Charles Osei at the Laikos Church International Newark Branch New Jersey.

LEARNING TO SAY THANK YOU IS A VERY IMPORTANT LIFESTYLE OF AN TRUE CHRISTIAN...BE BLESSED

Paul's instruction in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to give thanks 'in everything' doesn't mean being grateful for every situation, but finding reasons to thank God while in difficult circumstances. Gratitude is God's will for every believer and should be our offering to Him through the fruit of our lips. Modern brain science confirms that practicing gratitude releases feel-good neurotransmitters, reduces stress hormones, and can actually repair brain tissue. When we anchor ourselves in appreciation both toward God and others, we align with His will and position ourselves for abundant living. The challenge is to become a 'thanker' rather than just a 'thinker' by expressing gratitude daily to God and the people in our lives.

Pastor Andy Thompson teaches about the importance of returning to God with gratitude. God is always moving, and those who need Him must pursue Him and align with His direction, recognizing that healing often happens along the journey rather than at a final destination. When breakthrough comes, there is a sacred obligation to come back and acknowledge that the power was not within ourselves but from the Lord, and the instructions received in brokenness may differ from the instructions needed in wholeness. True worship flows from understanding that we owe God our praise, our hallelujah, and our testimony because without Him, nothing would be possible.
