Do you just take lots of pictures of your stuff before your apartment burns?
Pretty much. I have written estimates, pictures and/or invoices for particular pieces of jewelry, like my engagement ring. For things like my china, I have pictures an inventory.
I have little of recognized intrinsic value. Hubby's custom-made and balanced armoring hammers would more than likely be bundled under Hand Tools in an insurance estimate. And irreplaceable paperbacks without recognized value don't count for much officially either. Archaic electronics, thrift store furniture, obscure CDs--I suppose I could list the DVDs.
ION, for those who have filed taxes electronically, how do you deal with W-2s?
how do you deal with W-2s?
You just save them with your paperwork. Nothing to mail.

Wow, they just believe you? Still, this is the first year when Hubby had no income, so maybe I'd better send in all the paperwork so they can everything in their hands. Which really would make no difference. Sigh.
Wow, they just believe you?
I suspect that the employers are reporting W-2s electronically, and that if I were to lie and report I only made $1.99 last year, red lights would flash, sirens would howl, and rabid auditors would be released.

Just emailed Bridezilla. I made it as nice as I could--a padded cluestick--and read it off to my neighbor, who's also a wedding coordinator at our church, just to be sure I wasn't being too nasty. But I hate having to be this way. Normally my role is to be the helper, not the enforcer.
Beej, that's awesome. Bartleby must be exceptionally clever--or exceptionally devoted. Or both.
I have been saved from cat stacking addiction by my firewalls and blockers--which, although they are fantastic at keeping unwanted invaders at bay, also prevent me from seeing the occasional animation or game linked to by my fellow Buffistas.
ooo. Just stumbled on Buffistas, and almost typed Buffisat... Buffisatvas? A new state of being?
I just lost and hour and a half of writing, 'cause I'm stupid. Over a page...and this has been like written in blood. It's taken so much out of me, and now it's gone. I've tried to retrieve it several different ways, but nothing.
I'm such an idiot.

And part of your brain says, "Well, I can just re-write that," but you'd rather swallow broken glass than try to go there again.
