I did not know childcare was deductible.

Yes. THANK GOD.

I pay enough in childcare now that it's like the equivalent of parochial school tuition. Which I guess means I should get my kids baptized in the Catholic Church so we can afford private school at some point.

I applied for a job at textbook company. Meep. Nothing will prolly come of it, but still.

I can't find the form I need to keep my current job. I seem to have lost it. Is that a sign?

Now tagless for your comfort.

A co-worked of DH's figured out that he needs to claim 9 to exactly owe nothing and get nothing back on his tax return. I think it took him years to figure it out.

I've noticed vultures flying around the office building today. I suspect it has something to do with the Ford Sales Rally being held in the building today.

I would tend to think amoral simply because at 8 or 9 do children have moral standards?

Absolutely! Whether they have clear ideas of what consequences all of their actions will have is another matter.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Immoral or amoral? I would tend to think amoral simply because at 8 or 9 do children have moral standards?

Amoral is what I mean.

I'd say my 8 year old definitely has a sense of moral standards, though she seems to take a looser stand when her brother is involved.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actuaries are exactly like gamers, but with more tolerance for really slow feedback, aren't they?

MORE allowance will lower withholding - check.

I've had my federal at 2 since I started at my present company by accident, and I've never bothered to change it. I end up paying some taxes every year, but I'd just a soon it came to me during the year instead of early the next (my state return usually is a little bit more so I do get money back when I do all my taxes).


JenP - Apr 02, 2008 7:49:51 am PDT #8912 of 10001

I should change mine to 2, I guess. I never get a lot back, but I'd still rather have it during the year. But, like amych, I never really knew for sure which was which.

Fifty degrees is too cold for flip-flops, huh? I just got a pedi yesterday, and I want to wear flip-flops! Oh, well. Sounds kind of windy, too. Woe.

Kat, insent to profile addy.

I applied for a job at textbook company.

I worked for one several years back and really enjoyed it.
