It could well take another week or so to see results. Each of Hubby's surgeries comes with weeks of "Let it all calm down and don't push it" before the benefits show up. His latest shoulder surgery was a month ago, and he still whimpers from it, though he does see improvement.

Depending on what was done, the body has to recover from the shock of surgery, plus adjust to the new configuration. I've witnessed a dozen surgeries, and patience is the hardest thing to have at this point.

Well, lets just hope that past performance is not an indicator of future returns when it comes to the surgery, ita. Positive-outcome~ma.

They're touting "You don't have to send in your W-2!" Of course, that means there's a form in the booklet where you have to fill in all the information from your W-2. I'm guessing they didn't want to pay people to data enter the information on their end.

I don't see how that could save on data entry. There is no way an optical reader will be able to read everyone's handwriting.

ita, I hope the final assessment is a good one.

It's the Year Utah Decided to Have a Tax Fiasco in any case, because they replaced the previous tax tables with a flat tax that involves lots of "Find the amount from Line 6 from your Federal return. Multiply by .05. Subtract the amount on Line 12 from Line 9. Add that to Line 10. Multiply by .9. Please see next page."

I'm making them mail me a check, I don't want to give them my bank information.

Ugh ita. I hope something good comes out of it.

I'm sorry, ita. We were hoping for better. Still hope you see improvement. And I'm just sorry you're having to go through all this.

What are the worst artificial flavors in candy?

I'd say:

• banana
• cherry
• blueberry

personally, I'd say green apple. I like cherry.

Grape! I hate grape. But I love grapes! The two things are really really not related to each other.

Yeah, green apple's pretty bad.

I've never met a cherry-flavored candy I like. Maybe it's always reminded me of cherry-flavored cough-syrup.
