Subject: Question regarding starting sentance with numbers
I know it's a no-no, but I keep changing this around and nothing looks right and am having a brain freeze right now. Without being able to add any extra words how would you type this. I've tried typing out "eight millimeters" but nothing is looking right.
Impression
8 mm anterior subluxation

starting as independent contractor/need help!
Subject: starting as independent contractor/need help!
I'm going to be able to return to work very part time since my disability is getting a bit better. I have an offer to work as an independent contractor, probably not making more than 12 grand per year.
This will be my first time being a contractor and I'm boggled after reading the IRS info on the site. Do I need to file for a taxpayer ID# or can I just use my Social Security number? I think I can wade through paying the taxes, etc, but may have an accountant do this initially.
Thank's in advance, Becca.
