Last year I saved up about 8 episodes and devoured them all at once -- looks like that's happening again this year since Sponge Bob can't seem to get OFF MY TV.Pretty Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285473788765783338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33395706.post-4628553360342190432009-01-30T13:54:00.000-08:002009-01-30T13:54:00.000-08:00I probably should have kept all the offers of mone...I probably should have kept all the offers of money for nothing that came in the mail.

I have good credit and they want to get me to pay them interest - they need to make some dough! I have never paid them interest, don't plan to start now!<BR/><BR/>Our accountant retired so last year we started doing our own taxes. (And by "our," I mean "my husband."

The US makes their citizens file (and sometimes pay) taxes every year even if you didn't earn a cent in US income! Since there are half a dozen forms I never heard of to claim exceptions for 10 different things according to tax treaties... I pay her. Bonus points is that she's American and so understands me when I speak! :-)Mooselethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874418427786990740noreply@blogger.com
