I recently won a live SnG at home and made $104 profit. Is it ok to deposit this amount and add it to my $700 BR for BSS?

Of course.
The only problem will be if you start to play some bigger limits without being ready for them.

Every bankroll boost is welcome in my account

Well it depends on the way you look at these winnings.
Me,Im withdrawing money from my BR often to cover my life expenses, then I'm depositing back as soon as I get some money,so in a wicked way, my real life and poker bankroll are connected

Me personally, i keep them seperate within reason. If you are playing small buy-in home games, whatever winning i get, i keep 2 enteries aside and use that money in my day to day life, mainly cause it wasn't a lot, and it was just a small game with friends. Casino and online winnings are different, i don't touch them cause i want to keep my bankroll going.

My only concern with it would be like what kukkiwonBG said. When you move up a level online, would you be ready for it? Same goes the other way for live play.

Also, if you where to have a bad run and loose a lot, what else have you got for you live games?

At the end of the day, its copmletly your descision. The thing that i like that we have at our casino (others probably have it too) is that after i finish playing, i put it on my club card. So i can't touch it without going back to the casino, but it also means that i have some money, that i know my wife and myself aren't needing to worry about. That way, provided i keep my head and play well, and grind it out to build it up, she is happy. One day when it gets to a certain point, i will withdraw a chunk of it to use for something, but that days still a while off :)!!!

Good luck with it.
