how do you deal with W-2s?

You just save them with your paperwork. Nothing to mail.

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.

Perzactly.

I'm such an idiot.

Are not.

I have little of recognized intrinsic value.

Well, the thing about the renter's insurance is that it covers stuff like, your bed, sofa, (both expensive items to replace)and all the little stuff that you need, that adds up, if say, your pipes burst or a tornado rips through your house or there's a fire. It's not just for "valuable" stuff. It's for being able to replace pretty much everything you lost. I don't have expensive clothes, but if I lost everything, it would cost me about a grand to get a decent working wardrobe going. It does all add up.
