"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I was listening to the show on NPR yesterday and thought it was relevant to us.

I am in tax-prep hell. My paperwork is so disorganized this year, plus I have the two states to file, and the self-income thing for 4 months and I don't even know what to do for the sale and purchase of homes. as of right now I owe federal and am getting a NY State refund. Almost a complete wash. I am pretty sure I have more medical expenses and charitable donations I can claim, though, just must find the paperwork.

Texas doesn't have income tax.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just cleaned out my files (and had to buy a new shredder). I realized I have tax returns back to 1992. I should only need to keep 10 years, right?

Ah, I thought you meant NY & TX.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

NYS is the worst, apparently.

You can get past returns from the gov't these ways [link] if you don't want to hang on to the paper (notice there is a-pretty hefty-fee for the processed copy).

I need to find about $100.00 more of medical receipts and I'll hit my medical claim deduction. Off to search the kitchen for papers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm 110% certain that Sean Pete's on-side kick call was carefully considered. The thing with football is that it takes crazy calls like that to win when the other team is statistically better.

In fairness to your point, one of the analysts noted that surprise onside kicks have a high rate of recovery for the kicking team - 70%.
