Welcome, My Sillies! Together we'll uncover morsels of sweetness in the light and dark. You'll crave chocolate. I'm a naughty influence. {Note: I avoid Hershey's but partake in regular fixes of fair trade and organic varieties.} Please enjoy a ravenous sampling, and may you fast become addicted. Cheers to all things sweet. That, Dear Sillies, includes you.
Oh why, oh why is this not posting to blog roll, such that I have no comments whatsoever except this rant? I think it's the photo that blogger doesn't like. But I do. She's cute; she's staying.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING, whether or not you leave a comment. xoRobyn
It was too lonely without the comments. Still don't know if this posted to the blog rolls but I removed the google image of a sweet little girl who owes over 37000 in taxes even though she only owns a doll house.
Thank you, dear friends. Taxes, and a sudden realization of astronomical debt, kicked my tuchas (yiddush for butt) this year. I'm trying to convince myself debt is just a number. And so it is. Yes, we will all survive. It's over til next year.
My tuchas have been kicked too, my friend! And they will continue to be kicked because we owe (mucho dinero) to the government. And they are determined to squeeze blood out of my very pale little turnip! I wonder if I could convince them of this "just a number" theory!
Sorry to hear about the taxes Robyn, here's hoping you get everything sorted out and sooner rather than later. I'd have liked to have seen that photo too, it sounds funny.
Debt IS just a number. A very, very, very large number. Then again, one is the loneliest number. But, two can be as bad as one. It's the loneliest number next to number one. Jeez, where the frig am I going with this nonsense? Just as well you got rid of the picture. Didn't sound like a nudie pic.
Imagine my surprise, I only worked half the year, and still had to pay taxes! What happened was the store where I worked sold early in the spring and the new owner did not take off enough taxes. After I was laid off (new owner messed up so bad and had to lay off a bunch of the staff) I got employment insurance, but I guess somehow I still owe taxed. I sent them in, but am hoping I made a mistake (I did my own) and actually do get money back. Indeed it is pretty pathetic if a person works only half they year, part time, for $10 an hour and still has to pay taxes.
Tax Woes, I relate to your scenario. It's incredibly frustrating. Tax time is when the global discrepancy in wealth (which is by and large a mere matter of luck) seems most blatant. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Yes that's an appropriate word.
PTM, did you politely leave the term "old" (and wise) out of that comment? You're so sweet.
Al, three's a charm. But there's the third wheel. Lord, I hate being a third wheel. I'd rather be charming. Can a third wheel be charming?..Dangit, Al, you got my braincells spiraling out-of-control again.
Pat, yeah, it festers and grows too.
Hang tough, friends. We've got a full year ahead before having to pay taxes again.

ReplyDeleteYeah, right!
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase:
“Sticks and stones may hurt my bones
But numbers will never hurt me…”
But the words budget and cut back? They hurt… ;)
My comment worked! At least, it shows up for me...
ReplyDeleteYes, it's tax time. Already mailed. Glad that's over for a year.
ReplyDeleteI filed my taxes long ago.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the picture ruined things. Sounds funny.
Darn blogger. I'll bet the picture was cute, too. Maybe you should try it again?
ReplyDeleteTaxes! Oh what I could have bought with THAT money!
Sorry, I didn't get the photo, but I got your post!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to drown my trouble in a fountain of chocolate about now! Thanks for the empathy!!

ReplyDeleteDebt is just a number? Unless you're the US government, that's just crazy talk!
ReplyDeleteoh me, oh my....taxes, and age all in the same post. ARGH.
ReplyDeleteAh yes. This too shall pass!
ReplyDeleteHate taxes, but so far I have yet to pay in, got enough debt don't need any more...haha
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the taxes Robyn, here's hoping you get everything sorted out and sooner rather than later. I'd have liked to have seen that photo too, it sounds funny.
ReplyDeleteDebt is only a number- oh if only- debt is such a burden- for me its student loans- luckily for me tax time means a little extra money though :)

You are right! It's just a number. A number that never goes away...
ReplyDeleteDebt IS just a number. A very, very, very large number.
ReplyDeleteThen again, one is the loneliest number.
But, two can be as bad as one.
It's the loneliest number next to number one.
Jeez, where the frig am I going with this nonsense?
Just as well you got rid of the picture.
Didn't sound like a nudie pic.
Spoken like a wise woman. I think I will wait to pay this year's taxes next year.
ReplyDeleteTaxes are evil. No other way to describe it. grrr! xo
