Nothing like trying to buy something off a website, having it refused, and calling the credit card company to find out that your number "may" have been compromised and they're closing your account immediately.
Now to wait the 3-5 days to get a new card.
A rocky planet has been found outside the solar system.
That is so cool! We need seventeen movies set on the molten ice planet.
How come? That seems startling to me. That they're asking to see them at all, I mean, not just going back seven years.
Background check. A company that I used to work for no longer exists. And I guess that I didn't have to produce the return so much as my W-2s, but I tend to keep them together.
Those ACORN videos appear to have really torpedoed them. The senate voted to bar any further federal funding by a vote of 83-7.
But you can get copies of your returns pretty easily by calling the IRS (1-800-829-1040). There just aren't that many situations where you'd need that many years' worth.
XKCD book is out
And it has the awesome title

Background check.
Wow. But then, I haven't worked for any company officially but one, and they don't do that kind of thing. (Well, I freelance, but they just want your social security number for tax purposes.)
I will be snagging a copy on Monday and getting it signed.
I had to have a background check, but they didn't need tax returns from me (thank God).

And you know what? I've kinda kept my mouth shut about this, but frankly, it's a bunch of crap. If they indeed were going to get helped, they would have had to fill out an application, have the income verified, produced bank statements, & so on. If someone is trying to pay taxes, or vote, or have their homes tested for lead, ACORN helps them navigate the system.
For the most part that's what they're there for. Need a crack house demolished in your poor neighborhood? They'll send protesters to see that councilman who has been ignoring you. Getting kicked out of your apartments because they're being knocked down for another strip mall, ACORN is there for you. And yes, need help filing your taxes because you don't know what all you are eligible for (and let's face it, often poorer people pay more in taxes than they should because they don't have accountants to tell them what credits they've earned), they hire tax professionals to help you with your return.
Know how I know all this? I worked for them, for the housing arm.
