Tear Their Heads Off!
Wed Mar 09 2005


The dreaded Turbo Tax software is sitting on my desk. Which means we haven't done our dreaded taxes yet. And who can blame us for putting of such a dreadful task? I don't mind paying them that much. I just don't like the , the, . . . why look at that, I can't THINK of a word bad enough to describe the complexities of the tax code. It goes beyond mere adjectives. It goes straight to that little place in the center of the brain that when it feels threatened, wants to tear something's head off. I forget what it's called right now. But that's the part of my brain that dislikes paperwork from hell.

But enough of that.

I pulled, and piled, and hauled to the trash, three big white buckets of weeds from the beds today, and as a reward, got out my gladiolus bulbs and planted them all. Well over 2 dozen of them. Some were dug up last fall, and some I bought new this year. Bright red ones. I scattered them all over the place in my usual carefully thought out and meticulously planned way....

(Ha!)

For once, he's right. I cannot defend myself. It's true. I am a random gardener.

"Hello, my name is Yetzirah, and I am a random gardener." GASP!

Well, I gotta git. The Pragmatist is headed over here, and I need to go warm up my knitting needles. We have stitching to do!

    Medula oblongata? Or some such variation on the spelling...

    Is that the part of the brain that makes us want to rip off heads? I think mine may be enlarged, or overactive. I get that feeling at work A LOT.

    Tax codes ARE awful. I think the sadistic individuals who wrote the code should be subjected to a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, or something equally as dreadful.

    I very much resent the amount of tax one has to pay and especially in light of the fact that we have no say in what they are spent on.. and that they are being spent on yet one more war!!!
    Oh I promise not to go there....

    The TAX code is a pure bitch and way out control. I am leaning toward a Flat Tax and also think every American tax payer should pay some tax. Make it simple but then we would have thousands of CPA,s on the skids. I still have the THREE MONTH calander for Chaya for she needs it .

    I keep thinking TODAY I will start my taxes. Well, several todays have past. And time is running out.

    I'll probably send the return in on the last possible day, because I think I'm going to owe.

    *sigh*
