I'm in CA... San Deigo specifically. I'm spoiling, and playing w/ my 2 grandchildren. The girl is 25 months.. the boy is 4 weeks... and yes.. I had a seperate suitcase just for their stuff.. a huge duffel type bag. We have played, giggled, rocked, and spoiled. My daughter looks awesome for having had a child just 4 weeks ago. The house was clean... everything organized.. wow... it is amazing. This vacation isn't about sight-seeing- it's only about relaxing, playing w/ the kids, a...
Ok... I'm officially on vacation. I've finished all the errands, and now just have to pack. I'm tired, but sooo glad I'm out of here for a few days. I usually love winter, snow,, etc.. but after spending some time in San Diego @ Christmas... it sounds wonderful. I can take 3 checked bags. I'll probably only need 2... and 1 for the return. I'm going to relax, spoil grandchildren, knit, girl talk with daughter, and generally unwind. I'm knitting a dragon scarf, and the green wool re...
Wenesday I will board a plane that will take me to my family in San Diego. I will knit while flying. I can take 14" metal needles, strong enough to cause pain, but they would be legal... I have to make sure that my fingernail clippers do not have that little file on them.. that is illegal... Ok what is wrong with the above statement? nothing... it's a fact. Once can take knitting needles... any size,, from very very thin to big on an airplane. One can knit and enjoy this wonderful ...
As I reflect on the past few weeks, I have been able to realize a few things. The irs in person... ie.. their rep's were actually very nice. They went out of their way to help, removing the garnishment that day.. answering my questions, helping me... understanding, and actually explaing things. Now , mind you.. I wouldn't not want to go through what I went through again in a million years. They do know of the situation. They have others that the guy had not filed.. it was in their file...
Hi.. I'm home... Back from the irs. I survived. I probably don't owe... (according to H & R block who redid return, i should have gotten refund) but.. because in 2002.. not acceptable. But.. It probably will prove i dont owe anything. 2003.. I get refund, 2004 & 2005 I will pay... It will take about 6 -8 weeks to get final bill... I've started paying some.. The garnishment is lifted. SO... I will survive, I will learn not to trust friends as tax preparers.. ( he is still mi...
I have found all the info needed for the irs. I actually had all of it. This in and of it self is awesome. Now to have an independent tax acct do it.. and then to the irs Thrusday. Keep me inyour thoughts... I'm having insomnia.. anxiety, etc.. and not even enjoyable reason! I'll blog more when I know outcome of it... thanks for stopping by. don't forget to say hi!
Quick, tell me where all your supportive irs paperwork is for 2002. Yeah right, that is what I'm doing. I have one more chance to prove to them.. (irs) that I had a loss, not an income that year. I am having nightmares of papers running away from me... I have most of what I need, just not the most important part. I could scream, but what good would that do. I've cried, threw papers, and pillows. My cat, understandably has hidden at times, then tried to help me sort the paper ava...
It isn't a pretty picture. Basically I've being audited from 2002. Long story short.. I'm hitting a brick wall. I have about 2 weeks to straighten things out... or else. Lovely government system we have. Guilty till proven innocent. It makes it very very hard to keep fighting brick walls, with only paper to knock them down...
Tomorrow I'm doing my taxes.. I hate it.. The government blows more money than I make in 10yr period on some silly study... Like... Why do kids fall off tricycles. Honestly. The government did a study for 3.4 million. Guess what they found out... they either ran into something, someone, or they just fell off. For 1.2 million I could have saved them 2.2 million. But they didn't ask me. I know some of my tax $ helps. But it the beauracracy that helps the wrong get rich,that burns me. ...
I survived the first half of my work week.. only 8 hrs left tomorrow and I'm done till Monday. I'm going to attempt spring cleaning now and avoid the rush.. so later on I can enjoy everyone else cleaning, lol Work has been insane... crazy and hectic. But.. it's work My cat has found new ways to get into my stash of yarn, and she may end up being a fuzzy ball yet. Hope all your days are good take care
The work day is over. Its been insane. Trying to get days off work to coincide with days to go visit daughter & family. Have a new grandson to spoil. Computer systems have been nuts, its not even a full moon! I'm going to fix a nice tall liquid refreshment. Unwind, and maybe eat something.. or just have another drink. Hope your day went better than mine... Take care, thanks for stopping by.. don't forget to say hi.
Today at work the phone calls were horrible. I can understand having a bad day, but, I swear after today Alexander G. Bell better be glad he is dead. All the calls today from customers, were very very challanging to say the least. I did not personaly cause any of these people problems. I tried to help, apologize, correct, and nothing seemed good enough. It was my fault it seemed that even though they caused the problems themselves, it was I who was being mean. I understand thing...
It snowed here in KC, Mo yesterday, and last night.. it is to finish up this am. It is sooo pretty. So peaceful.. When it was falling it was the perfect snowfall. Light, not heavy, covered the ground, but no ice. Looking up the grey sky with the snow lit up the night sky. I love snow. I would love to be in a cabin somewhere and just watch the snowfall, and sit in front of a fire, knit, read, watch tv. that would be sooo wonderful. But, alas nothing lasts for long. Already the per...
Last night a friend and myself met for dinner. Had a great time, the waitress very nice & personable. Attentive was understating it.. kind.. and just great. Was a wonderful feeling. The food was great.. my friend and I laughed, talked and truly unwound after a day of work, and the frustrations of the week. We decided to go to our local bookstore, one of a chain, and check out the books, etc. Upon entering the store, I heard a child screaming. Now this child was about 3 yrs old. He ...
It's true I normally have Fridays off. But, due to the weather Monday, work is allowing us who had to miss due to the weather, to make up the time instead of taking personal time off. So.. Since it is only middle of January, I'm taking the time to work & saving the tiime off. So,, that means I have to crawl out of bed at 5:00 or so am and put in 8 hrs.. I normally work 40 hrs in a 4 day work week, 32 in 3 days.. and 1 day of 8... that day is usually Thursday. So, tomorrow I'll be a no...
