Now I'm not saying it's going to happen right away, but it will sometime soon. I am a complete novice at these things, and for the most part I have to figure 90 percent of the things out on my own. What I really like are when the instructions on how to complete a task are simple enough for a first grader to understand. Of course pictures of the task, as we go along, always help.
Anyway, I am very eager to go to the playground and get started. However, finding the time is my biggest roadblock. Afer all, I have yet to do our federal taxes.
But that's nothing new for me. I've been doing them for many years now. Well, more than I like to remember. Except for last year ~ there were a lot of complications as the settling of my parents' estate was involved and taxes weren't taken out of everything.
I had decided to let Jack$on-Screwitt do them for us ~ never again. Can I repeat that? Never again!
We ended up paying a huge amount back, which I was prepared for, but a month after we filed came a bad-news notice from Big Brother. We got nailed an extra penalty because we supposedly didn't have enough taxes withheld during the year. Well, excuuuuuuuuse me. Nobody ever told us about that one. So, of course, they thought it was going to be the same way this year. Geez, how many estates for your parents can one settle in a lifetime? Every quarter in 2006 they sent me a packet of crap so I could pre-pay my taxes. I don't think so. Screw them; I ignored the mailings and tossed everything because I knew it wouldn't be the same.
So I have approximately three months to do the taxes. And like all the other years I will probably wait for the weekend before the deadline.
I must point out, however, that a few weeks ago I actually sat down and did a sort of dry run-through but I got so bored I shoved them aside.
I don't know why I am this way. It's just one of those chores that I dread so much it makes me ill just thinking about it. But you know what they say about death and taxes...there's just no escaping them. Even after death someone has to do them for you.

There ya have it, the reason for the insanity at Dawg's house.
Jim ~ No, I haven't. I just hope I don't have to deal with them on that issue this year once I file. If my liability is less than a thou I am OK; if not, I guess I am in deep doo-doo. Oh well.
RaceFan57 ~ Good for you...it is a neat little thing to have for spicing up your photos, and a few other things.
TireDawg ~ Wow! That's all I can say. Quite the menagerie. What about the one you just got, Monte? Did you forget about that one already? Well, I can't come near what you have, just my two little kittens. I have never had more than one pet at a time in my entire lifetime.
Monte has been offically posted on my blog. He will also be joining us for breakfast on the Board. LOL LOL LOL He is a little hellion.
Sounds like Tiredawg has his own petting zoo of critters!! Cats, rat, and a snake. Oh my!!!!
We got our little bit of federal taxes back today.
You will have fun with your new toy!! I'm usually scared to try new things like that for fear of goofing something major up! Good luck!!
We did name him Grady. Wifey doesn't like it, so we are letting her figure it out. After all it IS HER chinchilla. That should be named Grady. LOL LOL LOL
