[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Mostly lurking...
Yeah. But, she's been here so much for me; I want to be there for her.

And you will be. After your knitting group.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
For billytea: naked mole rats.
They're taking over, I tell you!
Owen is playing with the resin animals I got him when we went to the zoo this morning. He's also got two new words, "bonobo" and "okapi".
Oh, wow. So this is what great parenting looks like.
This makes me laugh because that's exactly how I was as a kid. I think my mother often feared that she'd created a monster.
Hee. When I was a kid I was very helpful. When I got into astrology I started advising my parents' friends on whether the stars said their marriage would last. (I was very sympathetic with the ones in trouble, of course.) Oh, and one time I got hold of a women's magazine and offered my mother and her friends advice on how to deal with any menstrual problems.
But to a first grader, since they're both smoking materials, they must both make mommy high, and "crazy".
He was probably relieved to believe he'd identified an external cause for it.

What is even happening?
I really, really don't think so.
Thanks, Gud.
That's a big NO.
Great, Cashmere. Did you learn this the hard way?
I think we have to call Block about something else anyhow, so we'll probably double check with them. I'd rather amend than get audited 5 years from now, and owe 5 years of interest on what would be a reasonable amount, right now.
We'll be calling because Scott's job is moving out of state soon (still in "driving" distance, provided gassing up the car doesn't send us to bankruptcy court) and the state it's going to has no state income tax. We're nearly certain that means we will be exempt from MA State Income tax, for the time he works there (as was the tax preparer we saw last weekend) but he's hearing conflicting things from some guys at work.

I amend my 'cheeky' judg(e)ment to Adorable.

Hate to say it, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case. My mom, among others, lived in one state and worked in another for years (and much of my company works in multiple states, often not including their own) and I've always seen it based on state of residence. My mom used to bitch about it a lot, actually, because the taxes in the home state were significantly higher than the state she worked in. (Wisconsin v. Illinois, ftr.)

My experience is brenda's. Being in Chicago, we have employees who live in Indiana and pay Indiana income tax.
Also, my sister lives in Mississippi but worked in Tennessee. She paid Mississippi income tax.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Yeah, I think I've heard of others working in the good ole crazy state you're talking about, and state taxes are still happening. There's just no way to avoid them unless you live AND work there.
Though, disclaimer: Although I may present myself like I know everything about everything, and in a supercilious manner to boot, I actually know jack all about nothing, and am usually talking out of my ass. Why even bother posting then? er. good question, actually.
But, I have heard that (about mystery state in question) from the vague and nefarious "them"...

vw, if you're still around, thanks for posting about Annie's Attic free pattern of the day. I've snagged a couple off of there. Today's is pretty: [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.
Great, Cashmere. Did you learn this the hard way?
Well, we had that roof claim before Owen was born--BIG ASS check, no claiming it as income because it was essentially to replace something that was ours and not additional income. Although this knowledge is DH's (as his experience with property casualty insurance). Still, best to call the pros and make sure--especially since you have the other questions.
In our case of city taxes, we have to pay based on residence--even though DH's job pays into a different municipality which we do not get back. They apply it to our city tax but we do have to pay substantially more.
This reminds me that I have a few days left to file the city and school taxes which we do have to pay, having already spent the state and fed returns. *sigh*
