I don't remember if I mentioned it here or not, but we've been really close to the record snowfall for a winter here. We have now officially beat the record. Also, extremely high avalanche danger about a block from my place. I may wait it out to see if they evacuate, but since there are no pets allowed at the shelter, I think I will bring my kitties to friends after work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I do not have the money, have no way of getting the money. I don't have the interest, and have no way of getting that. So then, why did my tax liability go up the amount of the interest?
I don't have an official answer or anything, but the money is yours, right? No one else has claim to the interest, it's just tied up in the escrow account? If you had put it in another account and it had drawn interest, it would be taxable. Interest on a CD is taxable in the year accrued, even if you can't cash in the CD. That's why I'd think it was taxable if it didn't have a special exemption, like an IRA.

Feh. Now that I think of it that way, you're right. Just pisses me off. If I can't spend it, why am I paying taxes on it?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's just freaky! Avalanches should not happen in a town.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't handle the fact that it's only Wednesday. I could fall asleep right now.
