Hello, Does anyone know a way of finding out phone numbers of owners in Cook County?

The reason your house is greasy is that your range hood is underpowered for the cooking that is done.

@Elisabeth Cooke You sure can, though keep in mind your deduction will be limited to taxable business income and you must meet the "use" requirements. 

Additionally, while Chicago/Cook county has been experiencing population declines, many of the collar counties are experiencing significant growth.

They have a beautiful high end commercial kitchen (available to all tenants) where a Chef regularly holds gourmet cooking classes for women who 'usually only make reservations for dinner', (her words).The open house they had was so well attended they had a shuttle running from an offsite parking lot.

I boiled a pot of hot water because I need to cook and hot water is a necessity in the kitchen.

@Raeshelle Cooke HUH?

I tell them to go stay in a frickin motel where they can't cook, can't do laundry, and pay more money. 

The settlement is an accounting process and the lender gives instructions to the settlement agent not to release funds unless adequate and good funds are escrowed by the second buyer.If the settlements are extended, say you buy on Monday and sell on Friday, the parties may agree to an escrowed settlement to disburse funds on Friday, you can execute your documents on Monday, this time gap will generally be subject to local escrow and settlement requirements as well as state laws concerning escrow deposits.As to the cash on deposit, the trans/lender's money can just sit in the pot, it must be there but it doesn't need to be disbursed, the second buyer's funds are also in the pot.

say for instance i'm a fry cook making $10 an hour (cause i'm THAT good at not burning the fries and i've finally perfected the quantity of salt to use per package of fries).
