"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I reheat half a burger and fries all the time. Is that gross?(admittedly, the texture leaves things to be desired)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've never had my taxes professionally done, but $480 sounds like a huge price to pay for that! Is that based on how much you're getting back, or something else?

Totally! My mother bitches about the $150 she paid.

Fries are unreheatable. I suppose you could redip them in hot oil, but anything less is insufficient.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

We always baked things like fries to get them hot and crispy again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or any fast-food place, I'd bet.

You've never been prevented from ordering off the kiddy menu when you're eating in? I've had my hand smacked more than once.

Just say your kid is in the car or something.

And then hope to make it out before Child Services comes to see why I left them locked in the car while I ate their food in the restaurant?

I'm not sure if this implies I do more ordering for myself off the kiddie menu than most, or less. I did stop, however, after being denied a handful of times. Eat in, of course. Just like the first kids menu search result in Google specifies.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You can order off the kids' menu at McDonald's! Or any fast-food place, I'd bet.

I always get the toy from Chatty's Happy Meal. My desk looks hilarious at this point.

Our wings are not tired

My taxes are not simple, and I typically only pay $500, this year there was some extra stuff in there that pushed it up to $650. I'm self employed and have a bunch of equipment on depreciation schedules, multiple vehicle leases, employee leasing, etc. etc.

We've paid in the neighborhood of $450 the last two years to have our taxes prepared.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am kind of stuck going to the guy my sister uses, and he's about $500.

From earlier--thanks for the bird bath rec, -t. I am thinking more along the lines of a pedestal, since I don't have a good way to hang it, and there are too many cats around for ground level to make sense. I did find out that Redwood City thinks birdbaths are okay, as long as you clean them a lot. I will get a mister or agitator though, to help with the mosquitoes.

The system we use for spam filtering had a glitch, so no outside mail at all was going through for most of the afternoon. That was kind of nice.
