Right now I am smiling because Escapee is a Mitch Hedberg fan! I miss him so much. I love his sense of humor and his timing. I caught an old episode of "That 70's Show" recently and nearly scared hubby half to death when I exclaimed, "Oh my god!" "What's the matter?, he said. "That's Mitchell! And I got great big tears in my eyes. I miss him so much.

RN ack Eris!

RN I have finally lost it. I saw today that Mcdonald's Happy Meals have Polly Pockets as the girl toys (they have 8 different ones.) I'll be spending my week buying happy meals at different locations trying to collect all of them for Dakota and then trying to figure out how the heck to get rid of the happy meal itself without getting caught, lol!

RN: Wargod!!!! My younger sister had a buzillion polly pockets. We scrambled to try to get rid of them before DD1 learned to crawl (before I was a member of the board, too), we finally donated an entire crate of Polly Pockets.

RN: Sil- err, uh - Eris, I am jealous. That is my favorite kind of weather. The wilder and more potential for danger, the better. Does all kinds of crazy things to me.....loves it (and so does DH)

RN Polly Pockets are the only real girly girl toy Dakota's ever played with (outside of maybe dress up stuff) for more than two minutes. She loves everything about them so when we buy her toys as gifts, that's generally what we go for.

Rn, Hey Eris, I wonder if the upcoming change in weather was what prompted your sneezing fit yesterday? I hope you feel betta alreaddaa! Am feeling jealous after seeing your thunder pics frankly. I was hoping to see the wild weather from monsoons in Phx while I was there (the desert just SMELLS so different and beautiful during the monsoons!!!) But only got to see a bunch of lightening from too far away. I'm like Escapee in liking the exciting weather. Will sit out under the carport for hours, just to watch and smell!

War, by coincidence yesterday, my Sister was telling me they've changed Mac's Happy Meal menus (upon request I guess). Before, it was buying highpriced fat foods for her grandkids just to get the toy. But now she said, you can get the Chicken McNuggets (real white meat chicken breast now, apparently) and swap Annie Green Apple Slices w/caramel dipper for french fries, plus swap the soda pop for chocolate milk.

The only thing I usually do @ Macs is the fish sandwich. But think I plan to give it a try just to see what she's talking about. Sounds like stuff I would eat and the Happy Meal portions are more my speed..

Tabby,
Happy Birthday a tad late from me! Hope you had fun at Bingo with your dd!

Right now, I am, Nic! And I am enjoying my last week to its FULLEST!

I told a friend earlier that I knew it was time to go back to work when I started hanging out in the BB threads too much, LOL.

I just looked at the CBS site and it is Hilary Duff. Good heavens. I never thought she was all that, but she looks really beautiful on Letterman tonight.

Rn, earlier this evening dh was filling out some forms for insurance purposes...it had a line to write his age...he stopped and asked me "how old am I" LOL! We had a good laugh.

I didn't tell him, but will later, that last week at the Dentist, the hygeinest was verifying some info with me, she asked my age (the nerve of her) and I said "I think I'm...uh wait a minute...oh, yes now I remember" and gave her my age. At least I think I gave it correctly.

I'll just look at this in a positive light, age is not important after 50!

Escapee said: RN: I am fuming at the IRS. They sent me a notice that I was uneligable for my child tax credit because I didn't submit the proper form, which I know I did.

Hey Escapee!
Rn, I wanted to tell you that my younger Sister (kind of the Phx family tax-hound) filled out the taxes for her daughter (who is a self employed masseuse, single mom of 2). I remember my Sis went on and on telling me about the childcare forms; first Form said that niece wasn't eligible for, but while reading the fine print (apparently!) the 2nd form she WAS eligible for. It was just happenstance that my Sister caught on to that, instead of giving up when the first form didn't fit. So, you might go back and read the fine print again IMO. I don't have kids so I don't know the specifics, but I remember Sis quacking about that.

One thing you might do is an Amended Return but I'm not positive you would have to go to that extent. If you use Turbo Tax it's pretty easy. (Note:I sent a VERY respectful "Dear I.R.S." letter explaining my own situation of forgetting to declare some medical/dental insurance in my own case, along with Amended Returns and their check was in my mailbox 3 wks to the day (from the day I mailed them!) instead of the 12 wks minimum the website indicated.

Can check out further @ IRS.gov. Hope that helps and good luck! Bisc

Do I dare share an I.R.S. Story? Years ago, about 1980 I believe, my older Sister and her fiance were getting married in Phx. His cousin from Oklahoma City with his wife & kids came too, Cousin Terry was to be the best man. Lovely people but Terry was extremely closed mouthed about what type of work he did. You know how it is, in trying to make conversation with people you don't know...I was chatting job stuff...quizzing but Terry wasn't saying a thing. He seemed educated, well dressed, good social skills.

Finally after about a week, I asked him point blank (I was young, impetuous but this guy was NOT going to talk) . . I finally asked him "What Type of Work DO You Do?" No squiggle room! Family chatter instantly halted, everyone listening, they were pretty curious by this point too. The Fiance was listening, he too had no clue what cousin did for a living.

The guy squirmed and finally he admitted, took him a bit to mouth the words: That he worked for the I.R.S. I told him "Whew, I was beginning to worry that you worked for the mafia or something!!" (His mouth DROPPED!) Terry looked around at family and realized we weren't going to lynch him (he told us that many people aren't very friendly to I.R.S. workers so it's usually not wise to share the job details). When he saw that we were quite accepting (we typically don't fudge on our taxes and IRS-ing is honest work, after all).....well, Terry relaxed and gave us some GREAT IRS stories during the rest of the trip.

Like, do you know where IRS gets most of their whistleblower tips? From Ex-Wives who are ticked off and know more of the dirty little details than anybody!

Lovely folks that have been a great addition to our family.
Moral to the Story: I.R.S. Workers are People, Too.

RN: On the IRS issue, apparently I filled out the wrong form. I called, they sent me the right form, I filled it out, and returned it via fax. Hopefully it's all taken care of.

RN: The N&V board is like a ghost town, all tumbleweeds and crickets. It's eerie and I don't like it one bit.....in fact the whole board has been quiet lately. It's freakin' me out.

Could everyone do me a favor and PLEASE be post a holics for a while so I don't need to take any anxiety medicine? Run amok in the threads please!!!! I need it like a fix, folks.

Right now....maybe you should hand out an assignment Escapee... bahahahahahahah

Right now I am bummed because my ex can't seem to communicate with his health insurance company properly....our daughter has a bump on her upper eyelid that is getting bigger each day despite hot compresses. At first I thought it was a sty, but the fact that it is on the upper lid and not near the eyelashes and hair folicles confuses me. I need her to be seen by a doctor but of course her insurance is only good in CA. But I went online and read the info for my ex's plan and found that we could still use it out of state-and not just at an ER..if we called then they would approve a doctor here.....well he called and called me back and said "they said you can only go to the ER"

Right now...I think he didn't really call, he just wants me and my pocket book to suffer
