Well that's good if you expect a return from the IRS - makes the effort worth it.
I finally have a few hours free this afternoon and I thought I might sub a Valentine's Day story. But I see it's closed and I'm too late.
Oh well. Maybe a general story since I haven't actually done anything yet this year.
Tylenol Cold thou art my friend.
Have fun with the taxes Red, don't have all the paperwork for mine just yet but plugged in what I have tonight just to get it started.
Evening everyone! I got hit good with the snow - about 2.5-3 feet worth! Here's a pic of my minivan before I dug it out this afternoon... I'm so done with the snow - I want spring and I want it NOW!
Whatever return I would get will be absorbed by the government because we are still paying on last year's taxes (for Fed. and State).
I didn't get around to doing it. I got sucked into playing Sims2 on my daughter's computer, it was her fault.
That's a beautiful photo. Seriously though, sorry you got snow dumped on you and you're shoveling your way to freedom.

Mmmm...Red in her Sunday Best
that moment when you go shopping for a new jacket and instead of an extra large or large you end up with a medium that fits perfect. Priceless!

well thank good for a snow blower because Y have about the same amount of snow at Mutato but a 140 foot driveway.
Wow, it's only been 2 days since I've last posted, yet it felt like four or five. lol What does that mean?
It means you miss you THAT much
I don't miss me. I see me every day, it's not a pretty sight. Only sore eyes like it.
*shaking head*
But we miss you
I missed y'all too.
Tonight's agenda includes, Mesquite Roast, mashed potatoes, and sweet corn, as well as the beginning paragraphs to Mercy's Chapter 3. I hope by the end of the week I can submit all three chapters (which will be for Survivor) and an edited version (mainly spelling/grammer and not eligible for Survivor) of the chapter that is currently here at Lit.
Good luck! I'm kind of starting to hit the heavier part of the semester so writing has slowed down, I write a paragraph here or there on a couple of stories when I have time. Debating starting the Earth Day story cause it might take me that long to get the darn thing written at this pace

My eyes aren't sore and they enjoy seeing you
tidbit from Red said:The sound of screaming women along with the shouting of men brought Mercy out of her sleep. She stood up just as the door to the Captain's quarters was smashed open. Instinctively she reached for the gun, hidden in the drawer, next to the Captain's bed. At the same time her gaze caught the glistening tip of a sword as it protruded out of her Sir's chest. This time the screaming she heard was her own. James' body was kicked from behind, as the sword was pulled free. Two men stepped through, and both aimed their weapons at Mercy and silently dared her to continue her quest.
She lowered her hand and stood still as they approached. There was no rush to freedom, no chance to hide in the bowels of the ship, no way to win against two well-armed and well-trained men, so Mercy did nothing, as they grabbed both of her arms and pushed her past the dead man who had cared for her for the past three years.
On deck she saw the carnage that greeted her. James' men, were either dead of dying. Whomever had boarded the ship had spared no life, except the women. Mercy understood her fate, squared her shoulders and lifted her chin. The other women, women who had just been commissioned by Blackwater, three weeks ago, stood cowering in fear. Mercy went to them, and when the man, she assumed had led the attack, ordered his men to take the women, she was the only one that did not fight.
When they were on board the other ship, she and the others were taken to a room, where several more women sat on torn and dirty blankets. A lump of fear formed in Mercy's chest as her gaze took in the shackles on their legs and the collars on their necks. Their bodies were bruised, covered in feces, and looked both dehydrated and malnourished. Rape, was something Mercy had once been used to and as she looked at the women who had fought their captors, she knew no matter how hard she tried to please them, she would fail.
The first night she was given to the captain and three other men, as well as a woman who had coal for a heart. Mercy did as she was told, but she knew it did not matter. They reveled in the pain they delivered upon her person, but no matter how hard they hit her, they never broke a bone, nor did they break her skin.
For two weeks she and the women traveled, during this time another ship was taken and the men slaughtered, and the two women on board, the Captain's wife and daughter were brought on board. When the ship settled into a harbor, unknown to Mercy, she sported two black eyes, a bruised and swollen lip, as well as fist size bruises on her abdomen, thighs, and chest. There were smaller ones as well, but again nothing that would leave behind evidence that she had been a victim.
If you look too long they will be.
Heehee. From not blinking while enraptured. Or is that enchanted. Ensorcelled?

Oh you are a charmer.

Hello all. Well taxes for the spouse and I are done, as well as both daughters. Refunds for everyone, and one group owes to state. The spouse and my refund is enough to cover the past Federal amount that has been due and I've been making payments on for over a year. After they absorb that I'm not sure where the rest goes, either to the state (which won't shock me) or if it comes to us. *shrugs* Either way, someone is getting paid and that means one bill is no more.
Next big complicated thing to tackle is FAFSA for both daughters. I'll save that for another day.
Good luck with FAFSA. I helped my sister-in-law with it for her kids. It was NOT fun, not at all.
