Important

[seanR]

Doing my taxes right now.
We have Corporate. LLC, and personal.
Last year the guy charged me $800.00 and ****ed them up.
I could not get a hold of him to fix them so I had to do it myself.
This year I am doing them all myself.
I just use Turbo tax and change last years numbers, how hard can it be?
:dunce:

I bought Lar a small box of heart shaped M&Ms from Menard's, it cost $1.50.
That is the extent of my gift giving.
For our anniversary each year, I take her to Target, pick out a card, let her read it then put it back in the rack.
This year is our tenth, so I am taking her more than 500 miles from home to do that.
Screw Hallmark.

Got a first date tonight, when we set it up didn't realize tomorrow is VD day, just that it was Friday the 13th(always a good day for me).

I always tip well, even better if it's great service. Not a high roller just understand how hard service industry is.

My dad and his gf are eloping for VDay. All I want is to sit home and relax with just the 3 1/2 of us at the house.

I turbo tax every year......"yea that looks good" as I hold my thumb up looking at the screen with one eye closed.

Owning your own business is probably the best way to stick it back to "the man".

Oh no, I always pay my fare share, because I am confident the government has my best interests in mind when they spend my hard earned money.
Besides, think of all the poor people who rely on the governments wealth redistribution program and need the money for flat screen TVs, spinning rims, and tattoos.

^^^sounds like half my customers. Can't make car payments but can buy tvs, video games and fast food everyday.

 

[poorboy87]

My wife turbo taxes ours every year. Ive watched her do it and from what I can tell it looks pretty easy to do.

 

[RedHeep]

We turbo tax for free. One of the things I'll miss about being active duty.

I'm married to an accountant and I do the taxes. My wife is incapable of bending the rules.

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I use freetaxusa.com it's kinda like turbo tax but is free for federal and $12 for state returns. My taxes are way easy though so it's kinda hard to screw up. Bought tools with my return.

My tax lady charges about $40 bucks to do mine.

Not worth my time to try to figure it out.

hallmark and helsberg didn't get me to buy any of their products or any products in general. i am going to see a movie on a Friday night, the same night it comes out. and for that matter i haven't bought anything in probably 10 years other than aldi flowers.




that being said, i don't buy in to the whole "hallmark holiday" thing.
how is this holiday different than any other?

all of them started out as some form of Christian celebration and all of them have turned into a westernized cash cow for thousands of businesses.

if you're going to boycott valentines day for it being a "hallmark holiday" you might as well add Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and St. Patties to the list. i think thanksgiving is the only one that we actually do what it was intended to be.

 

[87manche]

valentines at least has a historical significance.

sweetest day can piss off.

I don't buy cards, and I attempt to participate in holidays as little as socially acceptable.

but that's mostly because I don't like people.

 

[seanR]

Just looking back at last years returns, I find a bunch of mistakes.
I am kind of pissed off.
He started the depreciation on 'Yota at $19,000, I paid $34,000 for it!
What a douche.

 

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I only observe Valentine's Day if steak and BJ day is observed.

 

[87manche]

thoughts on douching my fuse block with DI water and drying it out with a space heater to clean the salt out of it?

works on electronics.

 

[seanR]

Soak it in cider.
works for everything!

 

[87manche]

well after finding some photos of the back of the junction block I realize thta it's more of a PCB setup than just wires into a fuse block.

so it's probably f'ed.

I'm going to pull it tonight, clean it, see how badly the PCB on the backside is damaged and then maybe solder some jumper wires to it.

long term solution is replacement. I'll have to find a clean one.

I just would like it not to catch fire and to have working gauges on my trip to Johns.

Coil springs with air leveling shocks? The rear air ride is really nice if you can get it to work. I'd check the compressor first like Nate said.

Or RockAuto/Amazon search Monroe P/N 90012. Converts electronic suspension to conventional. ~$120.

Yea coil springs with air shocks. I'm not really interested in spending the money on the air ride.

What's all included in that kit?

I'm just want regular shocks. I'm probably going to buy air lifts air bag kit for these. 90 bucks just add air when towing.

K "simple and cheap" man

Easy on the Halloween bashing, but carry on with the rest:clap:

 

[w_howey]

every older vehicle I've seen with factory air ride has a dead compressor because the system leaked and the compressor ran 100%.

it's expensive.
I'd put regular springs back on it if its broken.

Number one thing I made sure the Expedition didn't have when I was looking.
