ION, my niece just got accepted into grad school! So exciting! She's going for a Masters in public history.

Zen, is she by any chance going to a state university in the middle of Tennessee? M teaches at a school with, as I understand it, one of the only public history grad programs in the country, and knowing your family's TN roots, I'm wondering if that's where she'll be going. Which would be cool!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm pissed, but I'm also resigned. In a "wtf can I do?" sort of way.

Did a preliminary run on my taxes, and we owe $101 to the Feds, because Hubby isn't getting anything pulled from his disability benefits. I guess I'd better start an independent IRA, but I can't afford to divert too much money. Anyone know the formula for amount deposited to tax benefit?

Our wings are not tired

I'm still waiting on one of my W-2s

I think I have three or four of my tax documents so far. I need to do a full check but I usually have between 15 and 30 of them in a year. I rarely get them all before the middle of February.

I don't want to contemplate the complexity of your taxes, ND.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, good. My Time Capsule informs me that its disk is failing. could get a start on dealing with this if I could find a damn USB cable but apparently all the millions of cables roaming my house have other types of connectors. I wouldn't have thought that were possible.

Brenda, the house has a pretty view.

Really not to be believed. And 5 minutes from downtown. This was over Xmas.

It's why Pix and I have an awesome tax accountant.

Yeah, that definitely is way beyond the "do my own taxes" level. Eeek!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kate, no, it's American University in DC. Neither of my nieces wants to go back to Tennessee, I'm afraid. Which university were you thinking of? If you don't mind saying.
