YAHOO!!!!

[BHoffman]

Finished a monster financial statement!!!  I'm so relieved to get that off my plate!!!

We should all list our daily major accomplishments   Mine is sometimes wearing clean clothes.

I always look at 03/15 as a soft deadline! Got through that with only 25 corporate extensions. Yahoo!

[Richcpaman]

As of today, 3/15, we have 31 days left in tax season.  If you are going to April 18th, Well, call me at the golf course.

We are ahead of last year, but still below 50% mark for this tax season. That means we have to work harder....

Sweet.

Rich

I have no idea where I am in relation to last year. My assistant is too busy with keying returns to actually do my books. 

But out I have been stuck at 72 returns in various stages of completion for weeks; it seems as soon as I get one done, another comes in.  But YAHOO!!!! I'm at 66 right now....well until my assistant comes in tomorrow and sets up the 4 or 5 new clients returns that have come in over the weekend...

The counties around me where I'd do taxes have all been given until May 16th to file and pay taxes this year because of storms we had around New Years. VERY few clients have heard this news so it'll be interesting to see if anyone cares. Several people who owed taxes were thankful to hear it.

This is hysterical considering my third child was doing laundry and I had 32 pair of unmentionables in there.  He said, "Mom, you're wearing underwear, right?"

Major accomplishment today was I managed to be sweet to a lady with a $60,000 gain on the sale of a lot that was shocked she had to pay back PTC.  She had no tax liability.   I had some thought bubbles hanging in the air, but I was sweet and sympathetic (ok, no, I was lying) and she was laughing by the time she left.

Thanks for the reminder. I MUST do some laundry later.

You did not say what you answered when he asked that question?  Or should we just leave that be?

Well. Tom.  I'm glad you asked.  Of course I said yes.

I bought a new three pack of bralets & new socks. And some shirts online. So I can hold off laundry for a few more days. 

[BHoffman]

Last year I wore my lucky tee shirt every day for 2 weeks running without washing it.  I slept in it and then just pulled on some jeans in the morning.  I'm a rebel sometimes.  A smelly and wrinkled rebel.

[BHoffman]

Finished the second of my 3 least favorite tax returns!  

[BHoffman]

My husband's parents are visiting with their aggressive 90 lb dog who will eat my dog on sight, so they must be kept separate at all times and I've been a nervous wreck because that dog doesn't seem to be very fond of me either, so I've been trapped in my office with my dog and a .22 pistol just in case and neither one of us have been very happy.

They are leaving today.  YAHOO!!!!

Why not insist that the visiting dog be required to wear a muzzle at all times he's not being fed [outside] on a leash?  It seems like a reasonable compromise.  If hubby does not back you on that, he deserves to be kicked out of your bedroom, IMHO.

There is no reason to muzzle a dog that has not done anything wrong.  That would be a form of punishing the dog for what the dog's owners are doing. 

But this dog has already attacked her dog.  That justifies the muzzle.  Besides putting on a muzzle is NOT punishing the dog. it does not hurt the dog, merely prevents him from biting.  And just removing her dog does not deal with the fact that their dog has already been aggressive to HER, not just to her dog.   Relationships are all about compromising, but she should not have to live in fear in her own home, just because her husband does not want to confront his parents.  The muzzle is 'the compromise' in this case.  I'm a total dog lover, but no one should have to tolerate any dog being allowed to behave aggressively without correction in their home. 

 

[BHoffman]

That dog has not attacked my because I know all about those alpha females and they've never had the chance to be together.  We've been really careful.  

2 years ago, they visited with that dog and I suggest they board her at a doggy spa just up the street.  They huffed out and we didn't speak until this visit.  

So, it's grin and bear it.  At least it was only a few days while they are passing through AZ on an RV trip.

Maybe next time won't be during tax season and you can take your dog and go to a spa somewhere while they visit with hubby. 

[Jack from Ohio]

I would not keep a dog with such personality and attitudes.  PERIOD.
