Tax time

Yeah at least we're at home in the sweet spot, vs. chasing skirts or flushing our $ at the bar!

Oh,YES-That plesant time of year!! If I get a refund I will use it as a downpayment on a Vibrapod.

what is a tax refund? how might i apply for one? all these years i'd thought that ‘twas better to keep it and owe than allow the irs to hold my money for a year without paying me any interest. am I wrong here?

as for the spousal/significant other permission conundrum, my office mate and close friend frequently repeats a homily he learnt from his dad: "i'd rather owe you than cheat you out of it." might not always work but worth a try if you feel guilty about dissembling. -kelly

No Cornfedboy you are Right ON!! I have debated your point with myself for a long time. Put the money in the "savings account" and get the "refund" or minimize the amount I have to pay during the year, let the money do some work for me and pay Uncle Sam his due at tax time. You are a man of dicipline and wisdom Cornfedboy.

Oddly enough, I am working on my taxes right now & Diana Krall happens to be singing "no they can't take that away from me" on the stereo. (really!)
