I knew a guy who escaped German-controlled Austria when he was 4. His mother put his baby sister in her pram and packed everything she could in the basket underneath and underneath his sister, took him by the hand and walked across the border.

That's some serious fucking perambulating.

I need to write my column, work on stuff for my derby meeting tomorrow and do an agenda for a business meeting. WTF? How's that happen?

We used to grocery-shop (first of the month Commissary shipment) with the pram, just pack things around the kid, as well as in the basket. Or carry the kid and pack the pram. I can believe that woman did that.

You can probably refile the last couple of years. After three years I think you're SOL though.

Actually, you can re-file (or be audited) for the past seven years. The only reason not to re-file too far back is that it apparently ups the auditing odds. Connie, it would be worth the money to hire an accountant for that. You will more than make up the money you spend on the money you get back, and s/he will catch anything else you may have missed.

Signed,
I wish I didn't know as much as I do about back taxes

I`m thinking about going for a perambulation with the dog.
 
Berry lemonade Jones soda tastes like liquid Sprees. That`s all I`ve got today.

My understanding is that you want 1 month worth of pay stubs for things like loans. but mine are on line -- so I don't keep them

if you claim things like a home office - -keep you utility bills. If you want to compare you use, maybe a couple of years

Oh, right, and I`m all about the filekeeping at the moment, what with the attic stuff and everything. I am required by the IRS to keep company records for seven years, which we passed last year. But I am keeping them for ten, just in case. But I am dumping lots of stuff that`s not federally required, and stuff like multiple copies of old newsletters and appeals and stuff like that.

I've strangely been without words for the past couple of days. Conversant avoidant. What's up with that?

Looks like I'm going to go to this next month: [link] With my neighbors. They also run it on the radio, along with the Moth (same sort of thing.)

the poor noodle is all upset. his grandma picked him up from school today and then we all met for dinner at the church. I went and picked up a boy he is friends with who has no ride. When we walked in he immediately got upset - jealous jealous. He cannot rationalize why, but he says I like everyone more than him. poor mixed up brain.

I would save at least a few months worth of utility bills. They can help as part of proof to get new ID if you ever suffer the loss of critical ID (say a wallet or purse with all your ID stolen).
