Wednesday for the Mindless

I'm not saying one word about our weather..........

I sent an email to a columnist and she responded by saying she would use my letter in a future column.  I don't know whether I should be flattered or worried.  lol 

My work day started off with coworker's computer problem.  He gets in a complete panic at any little glitch with his computer.  I was trying to get the men dispatched and track down some other things.  I got a bit snappy with him when he came in flapping his arms and firing questions at me while I was on the phone.  I don't think it will leave a mark. :)

I gather you are fed up with snow, Deb? 

My DS's appt. with the accountant over the IRS issue went really well.  It is looking as though he won't have to pay anything because the IRS only looked at the sale of the stock, not the capital losses on the investments.  I could have kissed the CPA.

TMJ is still killing me. 

Tried on my dress last night and it still fits.  I may try to get DS to take a couple of pictures of me so you ladies can help me with accessories. 

I was looking for garter belts so I can jazz up the undergarments a bit.  Did you know people sell them on ebay?  I'm pretty certain I can afford one that is new.  It creeps me out to think of wearing someone elses unmentionables.

 sorry about the tmj.

Jackie - LOL at your smiley sun glass face!

I'm enjoying some eminem while I work today. Good stuff.

I woke up with the most excruciating headache ever this morning. Halfway through my 4 mile drive to work, I almost turned around and went home. That's bad. 800 mg of motrin later and it's down to a dull ache so I think I can continue.

Tina, really the best place to get a garter and nice thigh high stockings to go with them, is the adult store.  Not only do they have nice quality stuff, but at least I have found, they don't cost nearly as much as the lingerie stores do.  And their thigh highs are usually all or mostly the keep up ones, which is nice incase one slips from the garter, then you don't have to worry about your stocking sliding down your leg lol

I looked out the kitchen window this morning & saw some big fluffy flakes falling from the sky.  After yesterday's freezing rain, I'm ready for no snow for a while.  I'm pretty sure that G is fed up too.

Jewlieee

Hi all  hope everyone has a good day.  They are predicting 4-6 inch of snow for us tomorrow.  I know to some of you guys that is a drop in the bucket but for us...it may close down the whole area.   It was supposed to start as ice or freezing rain which I can certainly do without.  Now they are saying it may just be snow which I can handle.

I am feeling slightly on edge today...I hate it when I feel like I could use that infamous 2x4 on anyone that looks at me wrong, lol, menopause...isnt it lovely!

Hugs to those that need it!

Folks - I have to apologize - the last several days have been SO intense again -- work is insane, and at night I've been completely wrapped up in a few dogs I'm helping.  We've lost two IMHA dogs this week which just breaks my heart, and another dog I've worked with -- I think has been mis-diagnosed and I've spent a ton of time on the phone with desperate owners trying to get to the bottom of it.  By the time I get back here at midnight I'm trashed and I've not got a thing to contribute. 

My Mom (who is in western NY) is getting concerned - they've had SO much snow that the sheer volume of it is going to be "flood" when it thaws if it all waits to thaw at the same time.  It was sunny enough yesterday that they lost about 6 inches of packed icey/snow and she was thrilled.  But it was supposed to snow again last night. 

*waving* gotta get back to work.

My DS's appt. with the accountant over the IRS issue went really well.  It is looking as though he won't have to pay anything because the IRS only looked at the sale of the stock, not the capital losses on the investments.  I could have kissed the CPA.

I am so happy that you got a CPA to look at it!  In fact, I didn't know any of the details and thought it was for a balance due on a previous return he had filed but he just hadn't ever paid, but now I realize they were picking up a transaction he didn't report probably and this is exactly what the IRS does, they calculate the tax on the info they have, and it rarely benefits the taxpayer.  I have seen it tons of times where people don't report something because the tax effect is zero, but it all gets reported to the IRS and this happens.  YAY YAY YAY for your DS! 

Do you have a Frederick's of Hollywood at your mall there?  That might be a good place to go look for a garter! 

As for the TMJ, I used to have it really bad.  The only suggestions I have is not to chew gum which will totally agravate it, take motrin or advil to keep the swelling down and try make sure you are keeping your mouth aligned and straight when you chew.  You might also inquire with your dentist about a mouthgard for sleeping if there is any chance you grind your teeth at night.

I have tons of payroll returns to try to get out today!  Everyone wants those W-2's you know....well, maybe not everyone but lots of people do! 

Lauren, that was my next thought.  Thanks for the tip!

That's all for now, I also have to appear like I am working.

Sarah, long story short, I re-did my son's 2009 taxes on Turbo Tax (that is what I used last year ),this time putting all the investment data on the Schedule D and came up with the loss.  I did it twice with the same results, then said "let's call someone."  Big generic places like H&R Block scare me, so went to the CPA.  I'm beyond glad that I had enough sense to step back and look more closely at the stuff.

Oh, and no FOH here in our mall.  The nearest FOH is closer to where my guy friend lives.

I think that Tina and her friend need to go shopping together.

LOL, my thoughts exactly!

Sweet jumping Jessica.....it's SNOWING here again.  Has been at least since we got up at 5:30 when the phone rang that the morning gal was stuck and DH had to go in.....I've really had enough already...this is. just. too. freaking. much.  It'd be bad enough normally, but I can't go outside in it, am basically under house arrest, going stir crazy and I just sit in this danged house and watch the snow flakes fall and fall and fall and fall......I'm not at all depressed today.  Sigh.  Blech.  Go away snow.  Go away winter, go away stitches......
