~Tax Headaches~

Tax stuff should have another name..Tax Headaches would
work good.. This new stimulus payment we are all due to get,
IF we file the right return.. well I spent 3 days trying to get some
info. I went to the IRS sites, which in the end did prove to be
quite helpful ONCE I figured out WHERE to look..which took
quite a while.. and I did fill out the form right on line and then
I looked for where to send this stuff to..well that took a while
too.. but I printed it out.. and I did eventually find the addy
to send it to.. I didn't know tax preparers had their own addy
that they send to.. I looked and at first I saw no difference..
then I noticed the zip code.. for all the different things its a
different one.. Well hopefully I did it right.. Says the last 2
numbers of our SS decides when we get it.. IF we do.. I will
honestly believe it when I see that $300.oo check...that sure
would ease a tax headache :-)

I made 2 , no 3 calls to the COA since I KNOW they have tax
people right there, and I asked Mildred, who is Robert the
snow and lawn guys girl friend.. if she could find out just what
I need to do etc.. well that was about 10 this morning.. and I
of course have NOT gotten a call back since Mildred said,
"let me ask the tax people here, and I will call you back".. I
hate those words almost.."I will call you back" I wonder why
people even say that when they have NO intention of doing
that at all.. That aggravates me so bad..plus the fact its rude.
That's what COA is for, help- and this one here-well- I think they
have too many chiefs..and not enough Indians if you know
what I mean... :-)

Rebecca was here this morning..shes so nice..she got here
about 9 and stayed for a while.. Even Dutch was nice to her,
got in her lap even gave her kisses which he very seldom does
to anyone other than me.. LB..well, the king is still mad, he didnt
even sleep next to me last nite and he didnt even come out to
tell Rebecca hi.. She said that the grant has a stipulation that
they will NOT pay a mortgage payment if I bought this place, and
that I cant have a 2 bedroom place being I am single.. So, that
means no 2 bedroom place for me.... well there are more than 1
way to do things.. so I thought.. if I can find a 2 bedroom that I
could maneuver in..just ask the landlord NOT to say its a 2 bed
room, and that I think would work.. Could be a dining room or a
den.. so I will keep looking.. in the meantime..being as spring is
starting.. I KNOW how I am.. and Spring fever just about drives
me nutty.. or should I say nuttiER ? :-)

My sister is the same way, in the spring we get antsy to do stuff,
fix things..get stuff clean and ready for summer, get the gardens
ready.. I know my sis will miss her gardens she had at her other
house..but knowing her daughter Bev, my honeygirl..well.. she will
make sure Mom has a great garden again.. Bev likes to work out
side too.. Her house was wonderful she had so many great flower
beds.. and my sis is the same way.. specially roses.. my fav of
course is the yellow, but I sure enjoy this red one I can see outside
this kitchen window..

When I look out my windows and see how badly my yard needs
raked..all the leaves and things that have blown up and around
the trees out there and under the plants I know are there, even
though I cant see them..I want to get out there so bad specially
when its a nice day like today.. I still think it may be a tad early
to really pull the leaves away as they do protect the plants and
stuff out there.. I dont think our snow is over yet.. I do know I AM
getting some morning glories out there by that fence if I HAVE
to go out there and do it. I wanted them last year and Penny
couldnt find any plants..OR seeds.. well I KNOW I can get seeds
in the mail if I have to.. I just need to get the stuff planted.. Penny
said her boyfriend is delivering flowers already for the stores..
so soon they will be in the stores here.. hes taking them out west
where theyll have spring before us. But I am going to have flowers
on that fence this year..AND a bird feeder hanging from it.. I hope.
Maybe if I smile right or something my knight will show up and do
these things for me.. then again.. ive been waiting all these years..
so I guess just to be safe..I need to find a replacement till he gets
here :-) I am NOT holding my breathe waiting tho :-)

Time to eat and get out of this chair for today, I did get some things
done and I am proud of my self when I do get things done. Sandra
did phone.. she and my new caseworker are coming over tomorrow
so I can meet her. Im anxious to meet this new one.. They steady
change.. and never have enough help.. sad .. we are only numbers
to most..well Im not.. I proved to them all I am MORE than a number,
that I AM a person.. I still have to remind them tho..which you KNOW
I DO!! :-) Time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE WORDS again! :-)
"Nitey Nite" .....

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya.. and THANKS :-)
ALways, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,
I'm so honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again.....

    Hi, Honey,
    They are always telling us here, on the radio ads, that "Tax doesn't need to be taxing" and then they say something like "You've got 24 hours to get your tax returns in or go to gaol"!!!
    It is always difficult to work out how the bureaucratic mind works. (That is what is known as an oxymoron, like military intelligence or government initiative!!) so I'm not at all surprised you had a hard job working it all out - specially when they are going to GIVE you something!!
    Take care, Honey - nil illigitimo carburundum!!!

    Considering you live alone, you sure have a lot of visitors. Ah, coffee! what method of brewing do you use. Here in nyc, a lot of us drink espresso which is strong Italian style coffee. I brew mine in an espresso machine. one is a stove top and one is an electric unit for the counter.
