So sorry to hear about Marian, Ricky. You really did not need that right now!

pshrynk · 03-01-2009, 01:10 PM

I'm printing out my taxes after doing them on TurboTax. I will never understand the tax laws. Last year, I owed a whoppin amount, this year I'm getting an equally whoppin refund, all without changing a damn thing! Go figure.

OK... I would say that you did one or the other year wrong. This doesn't sound right. Although, as you said, they are so damn confusing even the expert disagree on what the rules mean.

Please... everyone join the grassroots movement to get the faritax.org passed.

This way, April 15th can be just another spring day!

Ricky, maybe your car is in CA to get you to go out there and be with people who care about you? Just a thought.... Have a safe trip, and a relaxing one, if possible.

(I suppose this boyfriend isn't back-lit... but maybe you could just get a booklight, y'know?

)

Nah .... I know .... I did not need any of this latest bunch of weirdness in my life. But, hey, life is what goes on around you while you are making pointless plans.

So, now I'll be spending Tuesday night with Desert Grandma!!

RickyMaveety · 03-01-2009, 07:46 PM

Packing and being only mildly bummed out that Desert Grandma's husband is convinced I'm a serial killer.

All right ... which one of you bozos outed me?? Come on, I know it had to be one of you!!

Fess up!

Rats .... I did so want to meet DG.

Who knew that all those bodies rotting under the floorboards would come back to haunt me in this way?? (Yes, I know, I don't HAVE any floorboards .... work with me here people!!)

Am I missing something here? Other than the confession about the bodies, that is.

Oh .... well you knew about the little mishap with the BIG truck?? Right?

I found a new car, but it's in Los Angeles. So, I'm flying out there tomorrow to pick it up and driving back to Texas with it.

Because I was going to be so close to DG (driving through Phoenix), we thought it would be fun to have a mini-meetup. However, her husband is (very reasonably, I think) worried that people you meet on the internet are not always what they seem to be .... and so he's sort of put the kibosh on that idea.

That sucks. If you're ever driving through La Crosse, you can stop in and see us, no problem. Of course, it would have to be at the office, so I could start treatment, because you would have to be actually insane to drive through La Crosse, especially this time of year...

hmph ! all of us on the internet will vouch for you ricky !

but seriously. dg's husband is right to worry, of course, but why not propose you have your mini meet-up in a public place like a café or restaurant ? that way, even if you *are* a psycho-killer, probably you won't dare to try anything, with all those potential witnesses around.
