That hurts to owe money you don't have. My daughter and her husband ended up doing that the last 2 yrs. They are going to double check in August this year to make sure they are more on track. I understand that you can make payments if you need to, but it does cost you, of course. We had to pay a bit this year, because of changes in our income and not knowing what exactly we would be paying. Nothing that bad, though. Ouch, Karen. That hurts to owe money you don’t have.

He didn't say things that insulted people and then tried to say he didn't say what he really said. And you know it. SteveG, it is not a question of integrity or humility on GWB’s part.

Ron Barker, Interim pastor of FBC Hendersonville. (I don't know if it originated with him, but it's a great truth.) Cameron, TJ; from another thread. Sometimes I'm glad my wife doesn't do computers. But she (the clerk) was supercute. Quote of the day:

He said they hold to things they know they can count on and become distrustful of outsiders because they've been burned so many times. Is that what you're referring to?

Maybe others are doing their taxes too. Cheryl D.- When I used to get refunds I did them earlier, but now... I am, however, a procrastinator by nature. I need the pressure of the deadline to get motivated. (Unlike you, I don't feel the pressure until the deadline in imminent.) Mumsee, I think you need to come and teach some people here how to milk a goat. Can you believe they don't use goat's milk here? We have talked until we're blue in the face about goat's milk being better for babies than cow's milk or powdered milk. (If a baby can't nurse for some reason.) Traffic is a little slow on WV.

Due to the fact that she was counted as our dependent for most of 2007, & her nanny job did not withhold taxes, she owes $900! And she doesn't have the money. Ouch!

When I worked "in the office" I did them in January--the very moment I had all the forms. But now it's a lot of work, this year I misplaced some of the receipts and have to look for them, and I also will probably have to borrow (but have waited for the last minute hoping I wouldn't). But I'm not by nature a procrastinator, and if I'd had the money and the receipts in place in February, I'd have filed in February. Ajisuun,

They must all learn to get along. The last dog that did not want to get along with the chicks, finally had to go. I love goats and am hoping to incorporate them back into the little farmlette. Much easier to milk a goat than a cow and the babies are soooo cute. Tasty too, I might add. It is indeed a beautiful day in the neighborhood, I just got back from mowing the lawn. I love spring! Now I am off to watch the kids perform in Jack and the Beanstalk. Ajisuun,
