A Tread About Nothing

[JohnnySavage]

I've got nothing to say, so I thought I'd say it here.

I'm working on my Schedule C. Always a big ole pain in the ass.

I really want a bologna sandwich.

But if I go to the 7-11 to get some bologna, I'll probably get a Big Bite and then in an hour I'll be disappointed because I'm no longer hungry and didn't get my bologna sandwich.

Larry makes noise walking around the Manse, which tells me he may need his toe nails trimmed. I might give it a shot, but part of me things that may be a job for a trained professional.

Don't Tread On Me?

I wish I could wear Wellington Boots when the weather turns revolting.

I can't, because I'm not flexible enough to put them on. I can't reach my feet with enough of my hands to pull the boots on and off.

There are disadvantages about getting old.

Funny you should mention that - a few years ago I got a couple dozen pairs of socks. They are "Wolverine" socks and have all this thick and elasticy material in the arch. I can't pull the damned things off. Part of it is because my feets are hard to reach, part of it is because I got shot in the shoulder years ago and pulling the socks off puts the joint at a bad angle, and part of it is my belly in the way.

I only get two channels on my tv - the local NBC station and the local Fox station. Luckily I like the NBC station.

Except for the lady that does the 11am news. She's older... maybe 60 and has been on the station as long as I can remember. The poor woman can't read; which, makes watching her try to read the news very painful.

I wish her no ill-will, but she really needs put out to pasture.

Things I think are bullshit:

Gluten allergies
Peanut allergies
... most all of these allergies that are popular today, actually.
Giving bad kids drugs when a swat to the ass worked for 20,000 years.
Organic
Free-range
"Newly" discovered grains that were cultivated 10,000 years ago.
Pizza with a pretzel crust
Olive Garden calling it's self "Italian"
People who eat at Red Lobster.
Loading food with fat and sodium because you can't cook.
Almond milk
Coconut water
Delayed school openings when there's a slight dusting of snow.
Video games (except the big console games from the 80s)
Little dogs
Pretentious people
Temps outside a 65-85F range
Sitting in airports
Uncomfortable airplane seats
People who drive too slow
People who drive too fast

I'm putting my wining and dining expenses in the marketing bucket because they are fully deductible there and only half deductible in the entertainment/meals bucket.

I would have made a good Viking.

As long as I wasn't the one rowing the boat, I mean.

I'm thinking about the feasts, chewing on a huge leg of mutton and being served red wine by a busty serving wench.

My 9a-2p meeting was canceled. I wasn't going to show up until lunch because lasagna was ordered and my part of it wasn't until 1 p. Now, I have to make other lunch plans.

I always try to schedule meetings at lunch time, hoping I will get a free meal.

Meetings with the government - no chance. You're lucky to get a paper cup of water.
Meetings with the lawyers - usually an assortment of sandwiches (the high class places put out Potbelly's sandwiches)
Meetings with A/E firms - they usually pass out menus and some intern takes your order.
Contractors - coffee only.

I'm still deciding on some flooring. I need to just make a decision and buy it. The Manse has a lot of oak trim-work and the foyer has Bruce "gunstock" hard woods. Everyone says to continue that into the living room, but I think it's too dark. And the edges have a slight bevel, which makes it look formal. My oak trimmings (doors, door frames, window frames, etc.) is "golden" oak and more of a country style.

I just filled up the slow cooker with chili fixins.

My Schedule C is almost done. Just have to pretty up the spreadsheet.

Good news, they just announced fewer audits this year due to budget cuts.

So I should include my stripper invoices?

 

[JohnnySavage]

I wonder whatever happened to that poster, CookieJar.

This would be the time.

 

[JohnnySavage]

This would be the time.

I dunno... Ole Johnny got his 2010 return audited and is still paying off the arrearage.

I may be on a Tax Watch List and need to walk the straight and narrow.

I spelled Thread wrong.

I can't agree more with every single option. I was going to highlight specific ones and then it ended up being all of it.

I spelled Thread wrong.

That's why I started posting about Wellington Boots...
