I take a lot of photos of bugs, and the little hairs get destroyed with even the smallest amount of compression.

You know, we discussed this on IRC.

I was just wondering if anyone would actually care if my pics were higher res.

That certainly is a close-up.

What's the worst thing you can get in the mail?

A letter from the IRS. A thick letter. A letter saying you didn't do something right a year ago and you owe more. Lots more.

of course not. pooflady just loves making up hypotheticals! plus she doesn't make misteaks.

SECONDED!!! I hope everything is ok, poof!

Social Security meeting is canceled, ended up doing it over the phone in a matter of 20 mins. Funny, when we made the appointment we had to bring all three kids to prove we had three and they wanted to talk to each of them. Also the reason the appointment is canceled is because they only booked a 30 min block to see us and that wasn't enough time to do three applications (the kids). Hmmm, but the call wasn't more than 20 mins....

dontwantaname wrote:How do they talk to the baby?

I was waiting to see that, but we had to have all the kids with us and that meant pulling Ver1 out of school. Except they called at 8:30 and we did it over the phone and she didn't talk to anyone, except me.

I could go for a misteak. Throw a little melted jack and mushrooms and onions on there, pair it with a baked potato, and no one will know or care that it's not perfect.

I did. Have to call our tax guy tonight. The IRS is claiming we didn't include either of our SS earnings. From the best I can tell, tax guy included husband's but not mine. So kind of a tax guy mistake and an IRS mistake. Hope it's easily fixable.

can't you just file an amended return? i can't imagine the interest would amount to that much yet...

They generally are. Especially if you had a tax guy and they screwed up. They tend to have policies in place for covering you if they make an error.

This is 2009. Can you file an amended return for the previous year?

pooflady wrote:This is 2009. Can you file an amended return for the previous year?

"Generally, you must file Form 1040X within three years from the date you filed your original return or within two years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later."

I'm not sure whether to thank AZ or D'name for the use of Yammer, but whoever, it's appreciated.

This happened to us last week. Our paid tax preparer left off our 1099s. They were in the package we gave him! We had to pay over $3k for 2009. We had just paid our 2010 bill a couple of weeks ago!! Sadness at my house. I even asked the tax guy if he had errors and omissions insurance but no go. Much sympathy for the Poof family!!!!

G'night.

er.. not really. if additional tax is due, it is on you, not the CPA

dontwantaname wrote:HA! You posted in Yammer! I got you!!!!!!!


You don't all have to leave. We use to keep 3 talk threads going. We still can.

you'd prolly have to dump mr. rusty by the side of the road first.

pooflady wrote:This is 2009. Can you file an amended return for the previous year?

Yes, you can. If there is additional tax due, they may assess you underpayment penalties and will assess interest.

dontwantaname wrote:What the heck are you talking about???????

seems like the time that you used to spend posting is now spent taking mr. rusty to the park. that isn't a bad thing, but you aren't around as much as you used to be.

And yet, I'm still poking my head in the door occasionally, seeing what's going on.

Hey all, hope life is treating everyone well.

Howdy, czar!! Great to see you!

dontwantaname wrote:Everyone was here more then.
We spent hours and hours talking in almost real time.

EVEN YOU!

but you're the leader. when you aren't around nobody else starts conversations.

Vet is closed.


He is breathing really heavy. Does that mean he is in pain?

Is there anything I can give him?

hurt as in how....what leg....is he bearing any weight on it at all

panting can indicate pain, or just discomfort...
