Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just wish we'd had the money to set aside all this year to compensate for most of ND's income being 1099.

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.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

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.

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

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.

****

58. Orobas
59. Vapula
60. Cimeries
61. Amy
62. Flauros
63. Balam
64. Alocer
65. Saleos
66. Vual
67. Haagenti
68. Phoenix
69. Stolas

****

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

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

Here's the description:

In demonology, Amy or Avnas is the 58th spirit, a President of Hell, and according to Johann Wier's Pseudomonarchia daemonum:

“Amy is a great president, and appeareth in a flame of fire, but having taken mans shape, he maketh one marvelous in astrologie, and in all the liberall sciences, he procureth excellent familiars, he bewraieth treasures preserved by spirits, he hath the governement of thirtie six legions, he is partlie of the order of angels, partlie of potestats, he hopeth after a thousand two hundreth yeares to returne to the seventh throne: which is not credible.

he hopeth after a thousand two hundreth yeares to returne to the seventh throne: which is not credible.

Well, yeah. After the first couple of centuries someone else is totally going to nab the seventh throne.
