Sorry. The topic just brought on a fit of whining.
You're more than welcome to the empathy and the sympathy. Clearly, we feel ya.

[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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got the okay for the time off for my Portland/Seattle trip. YAY.

So, online tax programs: TurboTax or H&R Block TaxCut?

Thrive to spite them
Up until last year I used TurboTax then I tried out HR Block and liked it better so this year I'm going with HR Block.

The DH won't use TurboTax because there was spyware on their disks one year, so he boycotts them. I used TaxCut for my mom's taxes and it was pretty straight forward but really I could have done her taxes by hand (she's retired and widowed). P-C thank you for reminding me to bug the DH to make an appt with the tax lady!

Yeah, I've used TurboTax two years in a row, but a couple of my co-workers also recommend HR Block, even though it's a little more expensive.
Heh, no problem, Dawn! I'm planning on using my refund to continue to knock down my student loan, so I want to get it taken care of earlier.

I always do my own taxes. Not like it's hard to add together the W-2s, subtract the tax withheld, then smile at the refund on the state form and glower at the fed refund that's going to be withheld for Hubby's ancient student loan.

P-C you are such a good, responsible person! I swear if I didn't bug the DH till he was sick of hearing about it, we'd still be filing extensions for 2004 -- he hates gathering all the info. Then he always wants to use the refund on the stupid boat (I've found that boat = Bring Over Another Thousand)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The thing is, it IS easier to stop worrying. It's just not healthier. That's what makes it such a pain in the ass--at least for me.
I find that I need to think about what I eat more now that I am getting older. Or at least that I do think more? I'm sure I'd be healthier now if I had thought about it more back then, but I just didn't. I ate what I wanted for the most part. Now I try to keep in mind things like what kinds of fats I'm eating, salt content, cholesterol content, etc.
