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.

Perkins, I am not mocking. I am wallowing with you in confusion.

I am a physics BS who was trained by a tinkerer and I swore madly when I bought a car cd player converter/adaptor and it came with all these weird plugs. WTF. I fix my own stereo and rewire parts of my apartment. But the Tech sometimes confounds me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stupid state tax question that might be CA only:

Nowhere did I see it say I have to e-file before the 15th. But TurboTax won't give me my paperwork to mail in the cheque until the state okays my efile (24 to 48 hours). Yet, I need to mail in the cheque today.

I don't see how that works. I'm going to mail in the whopping $32 with my "reference" paperwork, and cross my fingers.

That should do. I vaguely recall reports of post office craziness as people try to get their stuff in with the 4/15 postmark.

( On the assumption that state and federal craziness is all equal. I'm too paranoid and freak if I do it less than 2 weeks in advance.)

So, uh, anybody here watching Numb3rs? Cause I'd like to geek-kibbitz a little, but if I'm the only one watching, it's self-geeking, which is just embarrassing.

I'm halfwatching.... Which means I am retaining nothing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Aw, hell, ita, you've just given me ghastly gut-cramps. Zmayhem taxes aren't quite done, Hec can't find the confirmatory email from TaxSlayer with our password (um, yes, actually, I DID choose TaxSlayer because of Buffy), t /super-lame-o and since we can't access the in-progress return without the password I was just about to switch over to Turbo Tax. But we have no printer, and we have slightly over 4 hours to go, with no time to wait and no way to print and mail. Fuck.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, I am not mocking. I am wallowing with you in confusion.

Oh, I know, sarameg. Like I said, I be cranky, because I have to have this work, and I don't have time to figure out why it's not. I think I'm just going to have to go back to the verizon store and bitch.

I will watch later, so I'm no help right now.

I'm sorry to prompt gut-cramps, JZ. Can you print to PDF or something, and take it to Kinkos?

Me, I'm just hoping the Post Offices here do like MI and stay open late.

Off to see!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Some do, and some don't, ita. The post office web site should tell you which is which.

Hey, want to come by and make my phone work after you mail your taxes?
