We've gone through 2 SBCs (Standard Buffista Conversations) in Natter today:
(1) My Cat and How Fucking Cute It Is
(2) The Perfect Pizza Toppings [and the Rest of You Are Wrong]
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.
'Get It Done'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Plei, I believe so, yes. Didn't you get a receipt from the charity? The Wooten foundation.
Also, Lee is wrong. SWISS CHEESE ROCKS.

ALL CHEESE ROCKS. YES, EVEN TEH PRE-WRAPPED "CHEESE" SLICES.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Generally for that sort of thing you can deduct the amount you paid, minus the value of the item you received. That is, your donation was whatever excess over the regular value of the item that you paid. But yeah, you'd want a receipt.

I think so, but that was almost a year ago, and I can't recall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Swiss cheese is rank. RANK, I tell you.
Was there a cute cat convo? I need to give Hec ignoration lessons, because I honestly blocked it.
Eventually there'll be a recursive SBC of "Wouldn't a Life Serial thread be funny?" "Dude." "Totally." "Dare you to take it to b'cacy!"

Oh, and you may be able to contact the charity to get one. We just sent out our year-end giving summaries, so you might check your mailbox, too, if they had that info.

Well, more a Shit My Pet Does convo, but it was heavily skewed toward felines.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Err, the stuff what was bought at auction at the W&H AR, was that considered a charitable contribution, and therefore something to be entered when doing zee taxes?
Yes it was. If they sent you a letter, I have a copy somewhere at home in a pile of W&H letters. Did you pay by check or cash? It would help me sort it if I knew.

It's not a big deal. I'm probably going to wind up being too lazy to check my suitcase or desk--okay, I can't actually bend to get to the places I might have put it--and it's not enough of a contribution to make a huge difference in my refund this year.
