One of the young people who I was in contact with last week, all of whom work in places where they get exposed to lots of other people and their germs (hired hand in the library, daughter at ACS with 600 people on her shift, SILTB at Meconi's) has gifted me with a gem of a cold, and I am slowed down to a dead halt.

Must scrape together my sense of obligation to the animals I raise and go out into the nasty, nasty weather and at least check everything and feed the chickens.

I miss college, my classes, all the different people I met, the activities, the social life.... The real world was a shock. I need more variety. I wish I could be young again like Reimarra

Exactly my point! Funny how it seemed so hard and stressful back then. And it was! But then on comes the kind of stress and worries that cause wrinkles and gray hair!!

If you ever have a bunch of stuff that you want sold. My sister is taking over a thrift store in Poulsbo, Called the Viking Veriety mall, or some such name like that. They rent out booths or shelves for a decent price. Ive sold 5 saddle through the store, and countless other tack items. The ony hitch as a seller is, that you get your money from sold items on the 1st of each month. My sister handles the advertising mainy through Craigslist and other online options.

Its much closer than Monroe, and has quite a bit of foot traffic. Even closer to you, in Bremerton there is a tack store, who consignment tack for sellers. I dont know an entire lot about the place, but have heard some very good things about them. Sorry cant remember the name.

Except Monroe is at least 2 hours away. Dropping it off then going back on Sunday would be 8 hours of driving and a lot of gas. Thanks though. Wish I lived closer.

Well then I guess there isn't much use in me getting in a hurry to file for my huge refund. Since it may take so long to get it. But I am sooo eggscited about all the new chicken stuff I will be able to buy with my huge $10.00 (yes ten dollar) refund.

OK this is MOSTLY for pettec63 but actually for all. At one point in my past computer I had a link to a site that had poo pics with possible causes. Anybody know the site. It may have helped pettec. Also it used to be that the emergency thread was very fast to help but the last couple times I have turned there I had less than good results in getting help.

Now this is just IMO but from what you described sounds like she may have some impaction problems. I would be very careful about allowing more in until I saw some coming out if ya know what I mean !

OH DUDE!! ya know what?? wait!! I actually think I have that in my bookmarks!!! Found it like last year some time!!
Thanks for reminding me CR!!! your such a pal!!! Oh and on a side note, your right about things going in and out, I have tried to feed her very small amounts of scrambled egg, and water, this am she was not interested, but, I did manage a few more drops of olive oil!! But I think if it is some kind of impaction, using probiotics might help. that's what I've been reading, sour crop is what I have been trying to get more info about.

Yes I made some kind of fancy lists like that. Got some wall paper for it too. I only managed a 4.0 with 17-21 credits per quarter x 5. Funny thing is All I did was took notes in class and never looked back at my notes or books for test stuff. I have had several people accuse me of a photographic memory!

I wish that I was on the track to my refund! LOL!!!
With my separation last year, being off work for 6 months and trying to explain that NO I was not on unemployment and that I was sick, and then the fact that the 1 disability leave check for $600 that I did recieve for the 6 months was put onto it's on W-2 but the W-2 was not filled out right.

After I had already done all my forms online and had everything printed it wouldn't let me efile. I spent 2 hours at H&R lastnight. they swore that the 2 women could figure it out and get me answers and get it efiled! But of course it would cost me $221. Why does it cost that much when all she did was input the exact same stuff that I already had done?
Anyways......53 minutes on the phone with IRS later....... it was already taxed and I don't have to put it on my 1040! After all that!

The pricing structure bothers me - we have no control over it. Our office got into trouble for handing out too many discounts last year so now they limited it to a really small, small amount. I think I get $40 for the year, and no more than $20 per person and it has to be approved before I use it! Their pricing is based on the forms filled out, but not the amount of work involved, though in some cases the software is set up to discount based on situation. Some people come in with evrything all ready to go so it takes just 30 minutes or so to plug it all in, another 20 or so to go over potential areas they can look into for tax savings, sign the papers, e-file done in less than an hour. Someone else may come in with the same stuff needed to be filed, but they will walk in with a milk-crate full of finance related papers, many having nothing to do with taxes, and a shoe-box full of their day-trades and no info on the basis. I'll spend hours researching everything for them. The returns are the same price. I had someone come in on a business return yesterday and she just handed me hundreds of shopping recipts. They were separated by supplies, car expenses, inventory, bank deposits etc; but nothing had been tallied. I was actually glad to get it. Since it was a drop-off, I was able to work on it and learn a lot. Then I had the office manager go through the entire return with me when I was done to make sure everything was correct. I got her a log-book for her car, books to record her business expenses as she goes forward next year, found some deductions she overlooked when she did her prior year tax herself. It was expensive, but in the end I got her more money back in the prior year alone to cover all prep fees for 2 years and she has a good sized refund coming this year as well.
