Hey, free Chipotle is good stuff.

I'm fascinated how Reddit can be both a cesspool and a super great source of info depending on which subreddit you wander into.

So true -- also thanks for the link. I guess I did have the basic concept; I just kept getting hung up on things like, "Yeah, but if you compared how much ground beef they bought to how many hamburgers they claimed to sell..." But then with a place like a car wash -- there's no real way to tell how many cars went through. I mean, even if you had a counter, you could like, run the same car through ten times. or whatever. I would be a money launderer's worst nightmare with my inherent "Yeeeeaaaaah, but..."ism.

Not "our" place. The place. You know.

Heh. Yeah.

So, apparently a lot of the unpaid taxes have a lot to do with not submitting payroll taxes right or at all or whatever. Yikes.

I'm truly being a nerd. I'm 3D printing extra modules for my desk organizer system.

Sweet!

Whew, dcp, go you. And enjoy that Chinese food, yum.

Totally went down the rabbit hole of finance crap today. I mean, it was good in a way, and I learned some things, but also, it's overwhelming, because I only learned enough to know how much I need to dig in and learn more. tl;dr is we need a retirement tax advisor, even though we're not retiring any time soon. Looking at this one guy whose philosophy makes sense to me and who writes about concepts in a way that I can understand. Mostly.

not submitting payroll taxes right

Oh no! Yikes indeed.

Oh yeah, they will really hammer you with penalties when you don't hand over payroll withholdings.

We've had a couple nights that dipped below freezing, but not enough to freeze my water pipes. Still, we do need to get our ducks in a row to get out of here before end of month. Need to be home to vote. Head is still annoying, but not terrible.

Hahaha migraine why oh why? I now have a pattern of a migraine a week. I’ve found a neurologist who is a migraine specialist, but he has his own office and doesn’t take insurance, so once I get an appointment, I’ll have to deal with getting my insurance to reimburse me.

I’m curious to see if I get any migraines when I’m in California at the end of the month. Yes, my anniversary present from P. is traveling to see two MCR concerts.

I once went into a taco restaurant I'm quite sure was a money laundering operation. Empty place, one guy working there who didn't know how to work the register, not-good taco fixings spooned out of a lukewarm chafing dish and no sign of anything being cooked in the kitchen. I suppose I should be glad I didn't get food poisoning from it.

There was a liquor store next to a theatre I used to work at here that we nick named the Russian Mafia Liquor Store because we were convinced it was a front.

It's still there. In fact the big condos that were build had to leave out one corner of the lot when they built so that this never busy store could remain.

We tried a few times to go to a Russian restaurant that was never open. Still not sure if it was, like, unlucky like me, or a front. still haven't had Russian food, though.
