Thanks guys, I emailed him and told him as it was my first time on ebay and I specifically was only bidding on shipping included items I wasn't comfortable with his suggested solution and so was not going to proceed.... I'm kinda bummed cuz I really was hoping to get one, but without a console and who knows how long till I can find one, I figured I'd pass. Hope that wasn't a bad decision. Some day I will join the wii fit thread!!

RE: back when I mentioned how the house behind us was foreclosed and the lawn was going crazy...A whole group of guys show up yesterday morning and re-hauled the whole property. It looked like a whole NBA team over there toiling away. Those guys were big! (a couple were quite handsome so I watched..LOL) They even tore down the old yucky fence. Then when I went out and drove past the front, there was a giant dumpster and it almost looked like they were gutting the house with all the stuff they were hauling out the front door.

Anyway, for my b-day, I have a pretty view out my window again.

Wow, I wonder if it sold, or maybe they are getting ready to show it.

If anyone is still looking for a Wii, Overstock.com has a bundle in stock for $480, which includes Wii Sport, Wii Play and lots of accessories. Not sure how good a value it is, but I still can't find the consoles sold alone in stock.

I am trying to figure out the name of a song that my son likes. I know it's a bit of an older song (maybe 10 years). It's kind of peppy/dancy. It was very popular and has the word rockstar in it. It is not the nickelback or the Hannah Montana one.
TIA if anyone can help with the very limited clues...

Now, here's another. Probably from around the same time. Still kind of peppy. Has a bunch of girls' names in it, including Angela...

Every single Friday morning, 6:45 am for close to a year that song (Mambo no. 5) came on the radio as we were driving to work. I don't think I ever heard it at any other time except then, lol.

I need input.

We have a really $!(%* accountant who files extensions every year because he can't get $)%& done on time. Well, normally, he only needs another 2-3 weeks and everything is filed. Not this year. I'll spare you all the details, but needless to say, he wants to charge us more now for his mistakes. By now, I just want to file the refund ourselves and not pay him a red cent.

Question: Can we file our own taxes if a tax preparer filed our extension?

if he does this every year why do you keep using him? Is he family/friend?

2 months and they still arent done? Dont you have to pay to file extensions?

I would think you wouldnt have to pay him, he didnt deliver the service that you paid for.

We aren't using him anymore and I don't want to pay him anything. Extensions are free and we have 6 months to file the return.

I have the tax software ready to install, but I want to be sure I can file my own refund after he has filed our extension.

You CAN do that however if he can claim that he has spent time on your taxes then you might have to pay him for that time, even if he hasn't submitted the paperwork for you.

You'd also need to make sure you have copies of your previous returns he's done for you, including the extension asap, in case he suddenly becomes hard to get hold of.

It is unacceptable that he's delaying filing a return that would result in a refund for you. As you're going to break off your relationship anyway I'd say to him that you want this done in two weeks or you'll go elsewhere. And then do that. Put it in writing as a complaint and fax it to his office.

I wouldn't give him 2 weeks. He's already had 2 months and doing the taxes should only take a day at the most. How much work could he have put into it already? I agree you should put it in writing and fax to him that you are doing it yourself if he hasn't done it by the end of next week and that you won't be paying him because he hasn't provided a service. There is just no excuse for this, Spy.

I don't know the answer, Spygirl, but logic says a valid extension has been filed on your behalf. It shouldn't matter whether you or your agent filed it.

Does anybody know how much this would cost now?

In the very early 80's, I could take a bus and train combo to Wrigley Field from 50th and S. Kedzie, have enough for a money for a bleacher seat and a hotdog and soda, and enough money to go home, all with 5 dollars. How much is it now to do that?

Naja, hope the Chicagoites will have an answer, but I'm betting it is much more these days.

===

Spy.. no matter that he filed for you, you signed whatever was files and you bear the ultimate responsibility, so you certainly are allowed to file anything for yourself now.

Yeah, I'm sure :-) I used to say "pop", but after 15 years of living near KC, I tried to meld and started saying soda :-)
