Due to the DH having a very good freelance year, our tax bill is going to clean out our entire savings account.
Talk about good news/bad news! I was lucky that the one year I got a bunch of my income on 1099s (right?), I was also in school, so I got credit for that.
How do cream soups freeze? I think I have more asparagus than I'm going to want to eat right away.
I'd be wary of freezing cream soups -- I suspect that the fat in the cream will go all globby and separated. On the other hand, you could do a veg puree (which I'm certain will freeze brilliantly) and then add the cream only when you reheat it later.
amych is wise.
Now my brain has no idea how to read her nick.
In my head, it's clearly Amy-See-Aitch, which is first name and last initials. But since I don't have winning vote on this, you're welcome to read it however it makes sense to you!
Pretty much all of my income is 1099. I just finished filling out my extension and will hopefully get my taxes done in the next three weeks. I'm guessing I'll owe between $15,000 and $20,000 but I wouldn't be shocked it if were higher.
half the time I make it into a word, but names on boards are not things to ever be said outloud - only in one's head. (unless your using your real name, natch)
Huh. Delta and Northwest are merging. Not sure I think that's a good omen (though, really, could either of them get
more
pain in the ass?)
The merger will free up all their redundant personnel to help with dedicated research on new and original ways to inconvenience customers.
Just means that there will be even fewer planes in the air as they tighten up redundant routes and that the ones in the air will be even more crowded. Airlines used to run at around 65% full, they now routinely run between 95% and 110% full. This makes upgrades much harder to get and delays tend to turn into multiday nightmares since there are no extra seats to move people to when they miss flights or flights are canceled.

The pronunciation of board names is one of the more amusing party games we play here.
My brain will always say askye as ASCI, even though I know what it is really made up of.
It's less amusing to me on LJ. Odder names there that don't lend themselves to saying out loud in one's head.
