I don't get it. I paid $75.00 to get my taxes done. State and Federal...walked in with receipts w2's records...even out of order...was out within 45 minutes. Picked them up a week later...done.

My best friend (who makes four times what I do has his taxes done by a pro, pays about 400 a year (gets advice during year)).

It's not all that expensive. I'll never do my own taxes again.

We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
We're the Knights of the Round Table
Our shows are formitable
But many times we're given rhymes
That are quite un-singable

We're opera mad here in Camelot
We sing from the diaphram a... l...o...o...o...t...

In war we're tough and able
Quite indefatigable
Between our quests we sequin vests
And impersonate Clark Gable

It's a busy life in Camelot

What, you were actually thinking of voting for him before today? Let's recap, Obama:

Is a socialist black separatist that hates America and dislikes whitey,

Is Gun Satan,

Is personal friends with domestic terrorists, unrepentant to this day, who bombed the Pentagon and several other buildings,

Is not a Muslim, but will surrender to them because he likes them better than Israel,

Paid for his Chicago property the same way Hillary paid for her cattle futures,

Will raise your taxes significantly which will, in turn, crush the equities markets,

Has more experience at drug use than governance, and

Will, with a Bonkey Senate, have activist judges to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsberg flying out the door.

Am I missing much?

It was actually in the high 50s when I got there earlier in the weeks. Thursday and Friday were really nice. I try to avoid visiting this time of year, but had to go west for business, so I extended my stay a bit.

I prefer San Diego in the early fall when it's still good beach weather. The water was pretty damn cold the other day.

So, as I sit here over my warming computer on a hot California afternoon feverishly finishing my taxes while the cloudless sky beckons me to wander outside, the gall of the State of California angers me.

For those of us who have lived and worked overseas (or still are....), the fact that the State of California will double tax you (on the taxes you may have paid overseas) is something we have to deal with, but it raises no ire with 99.9% of the population, though it is one of the more egregious examples of abuse.

John Deere Green

They were farm kids way down in Dixie
They met in high school in the sixties
Everyone knew it was love from the start
One July in the midnight hour
He climbed the water tower
Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart
In John Deere green

On a hot summer night
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
In letters 3 foot high
And the whole town said that he should have used red
But it looked good to Charlene
In John Deere green

We get a long "stretch" of that heat annually. 'Round here we call it "I F**king Hate Summer".

It wouldn't be all that bad if we just had a Spring that lasted more than half an hour. One year I blinked, and missed it entirely.

I guess the up-side is for folks with pools. There isn't a pool heater anywhere in this valley, so maintenance is much simpler.

re: #88 freetoken

A good percentage of my work originates in New York City, so I have to file state taxes in Albany on that income, even though I never set foot in New York in 2007. And then CA. still wants their money too. It used to be worth it, but lately I am questioning if it is worth the trouble.

I make too little money for the gummit to bother with.

Ah, John Deere. They don't make 'em like they used to. We had the Johns with the old putt putt engines in them, the gasoline engine that made that distinctive John Deere sound. Now they just have that generic diesel engine sound.

The room with a loft sounds great. Wish I could borrow one of your sons. Everything is falling apart in our house and my husband hasn't been up to doing much, health wise.

Taxes.

/IMO, it's well worth the $150 to just let a CPA do it

Where are you, PBJ? There might be a VoTech near you that needs a project.

Rush is great! Operation Chaos is killing the Dems. Keep Donating to McCain, Keep voting for Hillary, Start to donate to Ralph Nader $25.00 this week. Operation Chaos. Votenader.org

It is getting fun here in PA. Obama and Clinton keep trying to one up each other and stepping in it the process. She seems to be blowing the big softball he threw her with his "bitter" speech. Yesterday, she told a "heartwarming story" about shooting at her grandfather's cabin off some lake in PA. So today, someone asked her when the last time she shot a gun was and she told them that question wasn't relevant because she was talking about what Obama said.

They keep going off script and crashing!

BTW-is there a debate tonight?

Stuff break, new stuff shouldn't, but to me how the company handles it is more important.

Absolutely. I will go miles out of my way and spend extra cash to patronize companies that take care of their customers, and to avoid ones that don't.

It must be close to 100 deg outside, I’ve got that hot lazy feeling, so I got caught up on my beer drinking and napping.

re: #88 freetoken

So, as I sit here over my warming computer on a hot California afternoon feverishly finishing my taxes while the cloudless sky beckons me to wander outside, the gall of the State of California angers me.

For those of us who have lived and worked overseas (or still are....), the fact that the State of California will double tax you (on the taxes you may have paid overseas) is something we have to deal with, but it raises no ire with 99.9% of the population, though it is one of the more egregious examples of abuse.

Alas, it will never become a campaign issue....

It depends on where "overseas" is. Canada -- and many other countries -- has a tax treaty with the US. You only get dinged in one country (basically, where you claim residence) rather than th double-whammy you're seeing.

That's how it goes, doesn't it. Our daughter is so busy and overworked from her job we don't see her as much as we used to. There are suppossed to be three people doing her job for Los Angeles County but she is the only one.
