Because you are happily married.

RIGHT! Dammit.

We owe enough to buy a car, and not a shitty one. Sigh.

I believe in paying taxes, I really, really do. I just wish we'd had the money to set aside all this year to compensate for most of ND's income being 1099. It's a lot easier to be responsible with money when your taxes all come out up front. It's such a deadly cycle; we're going to have to be on a payment plan to pay 2010, so we won't have enough to put aside for 2011, and so on and so on.

Apparently, the 3-4 set likes me. Though Dominic could actually fathom that I need to go back home, he did say he wished I could stay longer.

Because you've devoted your life to teaching and that was such a selfish, shitty thing to do.

Heh. That too.

Pix, I'm sorry. That really sucks.

That's one of the things, I am really researching so I can try to be as on top of it as possible, because I foresee this being a PITA for me, hoping I can get this freelance writing/editing thing really working for me.

I am so sad about Sass. I don't know anyone besides Buffistas in DC; I wish I could help more.

That's odd, Consuela--I have Firefox4 on this computer (mac) and haven't had any troubles.

It's making me crazy.

I just sent the word about Sass to some more dog people. They have connections to lots of dog people

We literally just finished paying off the $14,000 we owed four years ago, before the DH knew how to manage taxes as a freelancer.

I'm glad you guys finally got out from under that, Scrappy.

I knew how to do it but couldn't this year due to a bunch of back taxes I had to pay off from the years before I took over the finances. It's no fun. I'm just worried that I won't be able to get on top of it when we're always paying off the year before now.

No it sure ain't.

Also, Erin, FWIW, I think she's being a manipulative shit.

ION, I'm looking through the Wikipedia article on the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum the 16th century text on the hierarchy of demons and had a real Sesame Street moment.

There are 69 demons in this hierarchy (ooh la la!) let's see if you can see what grabbed my eye as I got toward the end of the list.

Uhm, #61? That name strikes fear in the heart of no one. Though admittedly her name is legion.
