Morning.

Yep. Had mine. Chose hot chocolate at work though.

Draggin' this morning. I think it's the booster

Likely! Can you take it easy?

eh, I thougth about going back to bed, but after just taking 2 weeks off...

Well just sayin'.... you know, maybe not in bed but also not going 100 mph.

oh, that's my normal pace 😄

I know!

Calling OK tax commission on behalf of my brother (who is in Thailand) to see if I can help him set up a payment plan for past due taxes

dumb dumb had a stint of casino going, made some money, didn't pay the tax on it, and now it's chasing him down

It was either that or his Crypto earnings

He is paying off the Federal taxes, because they have the power to revoke his passport... but all the state agency can do is keep adding interest

about $300 interest so far, and growing...

Oy vey.

(Sorry, had a meeting....)

Yeah, I asked for a call back, the lines were not moving

It's only like $1200, but he has $4k to pay to the feds which he is looking at first

That is not an inconsiderable amount.

I'm pushing him to see if he can give them a couple hundo to forstall more interest

they're adding about $100/year

He made $175k that year so I am ROLLING MY EYES

he had a very VERY lucrative point with bitcoin, and lived the high life. I do not begrudge him that except for the poor planning. He traveled all over and lived VERY well for a few years

now he's settled down with a wifey and step daughter and bebe and needs to take care of these loose ends

Yeah, that's a no-brainer.

Hello all

Good news is, he can submit a letter requesting the interest/penalties to be waived. It's a chance worth taking

you basically say "I'm really sorry, I couldn't pay for X reason, please no fees" and hope they buy your sob story

Hello D!

Heck yeah, write the letter.

Woo. Sounds like you got a day going on, Rae

Phone call for Frank RV 🙂

lunch!

hi!

hi!

Hi Catnik

Oh! Sorry, I got distracted

I see you want me to chew gum AND walk at the same time

Because damn it, the mental image of a terrier fetching tools is funny to me

totally!

what Thistle doesn't know is that ponies are assholes.

.....

she might actually get along well with a mule or a donkey, tbh.

in their defense.... Thistle is ALSO an asshole

Thistle keeps seeing the Friesians and the FANCY horses

Warmbloods tend to about 16 hands, Clydesdales and Fresians 17-18, true ponies 7-10 hands, and some in between mgiht be in the 11-13 hand height.

Yup - and I think Aiden's mount is a warmblood.
