See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Never got hold of a living human being, but found the form online, converted the entire damn thing to writable, completed one MD's application, starting on the other, requesting certificates of insurance and rush-order medical group application fees for both, trying not to think about all the other stuff piling up undone because these asschunks can't be arsed to do their jobs (and for this we're paying them $350 per application; how do I get their jobs instead of mine?).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Literally a hot mess.

That's kind of an achievement, right there.

2 days of clusterfucks at work. I do not like being the fix all the problems after the fact person.

Ion, my brother is in the ER on a morphine drip due to abdominal pain due to unknown sources, so that also sucks.

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

Yikes, msbelle. Lots of ~ma for your brother, and for Sox's DH too.

Have any Buffistas ever employed a nanny (or any other kind of household employee)? If so, please speak to me of taxes, because I'm kind of in a bind and not sure what to do. (Profile address is good if you'd rather take it to email.)

The company we used to find our nanny teamed with a company called Breedlove that did all payment and taxes for us.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes -- good thoughts to G! Let's hope it's gall bladder or something else fixable.

Really? How weird. Common for women also or just men?

I don't actually know, but I would guess less common for women to fall on the floor just because they are sitting down when they pee. It's something about your blood pressure drops a little when you're peeing, and also standing up too fast from being asleep and probably other factors I dunno. Oh! Wikipedia to the rescue: [link]

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Health~ma to Sox's DH and to msbelle's brother.

Librarian Warlord

We did have a nanny. Which taxes? State, federal, unemployment, worker's comp? As both an attorney who worked in estates and trusts, and a librarian, I got fed up and hired an accountant. Maryland was the problem. He would charge me $75/quarter, and take care of it all. Considering the hours it gave me back with my girl, well worth it.

Check your local parents' listserv for suggestions. Someone will be doing nanny taxes locally, and they can advise you on things like paying for the nanny's health insurance which doesn't count as income for her and is deductible for you.

I'm happy to try to help more specifically!
