Do you do your own taxes with tax software?
Comments (38)I have used HR Block on line for years..Think it cost 30 dollars or so and its a hand holding simple walk you thru it, read carefully and fill in the blanks. Its free to do it until you go to file and that is when you pay. I dont even have to enter our basic information anymore..Its all saved..of course it gives you the chance to change anything that might need to be changed..ie when our daughter got married and we could no longer claim her. Give it a try!...See MoreTortillas - where do yours come from - do you make your own?
Comments (23)Oops! I seem to have forgotten that I started this thread, but the responses have been very helpful. I think I will definitely to go El Camaguey and buy a tortilla press, although I don't think it has a stainless steel surface like Ann's, which would be nice. I do keep dry masa on hand, but I also keep fresh masa in the freezer - for making what I thought were empanadas, but which are probably quesadillas, at least as they are made in Mexico, and deep fried. As for flour tortillas, since I've found the whole grain tortillas in the market, I probably won't be making too many of those again, although I might want to experiment with some of the whole grain flours I have. I don't especially like tortillas made with all white flour, and corn tortillas are my favorite. When I first visited Vancouver for a long visit (1978 or so), I was shocked that I could not find fresh corn tortillas in the grocery stores (I did find frozen ones, but did not consider that acceptable). At that time, I practically lived on soft tacos (that I made myself, often with tofu), and so I had to make an adjustment. I think I bought some whole wheat crackers instead. I think I will try to find some Hispanic markets, although there aren't any in my immediate neighborhood. There are some in neighboring Mar Vista (where Scott lives), which is less than 2 miles from here. There are several places to buy fresh tamales, but they don't sell tortillas. Anyway, I think I will keep looking and also get the tortilla press. Lars...See Morelosing things in your own house?
Comments (57)One time I had placed all of my heirloom jewelry in a velvet bag and stuffed it into the space down beside a loveseat cushion (you know where you always lose things in your furniture). We were going on vacation, having house sitters and I just wanted to be sure no one would find the jewelry. I don't think I worried as much about the house sitters because I trusted them, but wasn't sure how much they'd actually be home and worried more about burglars. Some time later (I didn't wear the stuff much), as the loveseat was loaded onto the back of someone's truck to be donated, I somehow remembered the jewelry! Whew! Recently, even though I have a specific place where I always take off my earrings, I had taken them off to go to a swim class, so put them in the middle of the wooden steps going up to my bedroom/bath where I keep my jewelry. I knew I'd see them and take them to their "spot" when I went up after swimming to take a shower. These are my favorite 25 year old silver disk earrings with antique beads - I wear them a LOT. When I next went to wear them, they were gone. Nowhere to be found. I looked in every little spot I might have tucked them into but no luck. I was kinda sure they were somewhere, but I'd looked everywhere I could imagine and re-looked probably a dozen times. I'd go to bed thinking about them, where could they be, and wake up thinking about them, where could they be? Then one day, I thought to look in the pocket of one of the robes I sometimes put on at home after showering when I swim. There they were. I'd put on the robe, swooped up the earrings from the step and plopped them in the pocket to take upstairs but forgot to take them out of the pocket. I'm much more deliberate now with where I put them. eta (because my post just wasn't LONG enough lol) I always put my keys in the fridge when I want to remember to take something from the fridge with me when I leave. I used to shop on my lunch hour at work and would put the groceries in the fridge along with my keys, so I'd remember to take the groceries home with me. Until everyone in my office finally had searched for the dummy who left their keys in the refer, did they get used to seeing them there....See MoreDo you resent being told to do something for your own good?
Comments (35)Career wise, I was nearly always fine with being told what to do. I can think of one major exception when I was told to write up a report from a conference trip I went on with my supervisor. I asked if I could write it from home as at that time I had severe carpal tunnel issues and was told NO, you can't do it from home and take the time out of office to do this (it was mid-90s.). My home computer had an ergonomic keyboard which was not compatible with the work computer workstation. So... yes, I wrote the report up from home anyway and didn't take the time out of my in-office/lab work time. I brought my report in for my supervisor's review. Mind you, he was at the same conference. I wrote up 10-12 meetings I'd been to. On my own time, over a weekend. Because my wrist would not stand me doing that on company time. He changed ONE sentence I'd written, signed the report with his name first, then mine, and sent it off. He didn't write ANYTHING of his own. I had a severe problem with that, and I really wish in retrospect I'd spoken up. But whose word against whose? **** In other circumstances - I do listen to people when they tell me what I should do, but a lot of this depends on the apparent attitude of the person doing the telling. A lot depends also on how well people realize that some requests for "improvement" are in the eye of the beholder, or not, for instance, understanding what depression, anxiety, and those sort of things manifest. Like their way can get you through everything, because it worked for them!...See Moreeld6161
