That cartoon version was sweet. Thanks! I bet your sons liked the snake-killing aspect (boys!). Me, I liked that Rikki was so quick & smart & curious & protective of his family. When my mom used to read me the story, she made the rikkk-tikkk-tikkk sound in such a funny way, I always laughed!D.K.

It's a conglomeration of tack-ons and hole-closers and precedents and challenges, truly a maze. That's why when you've got an unclear situation and you have plenty of back-up for your position, many accountants will tell you to go for it and let the IRS sort it out. Root canals cost less and at least you have something to show for it afterwards! <BR/><BR/>I had to put up Donovan. He lived in Desert Hot Springs when I was living in Palm Springs. One day, my friends & I decided to ride our bikes around there hoping to run into him. After we got tired of cycling, never having seen Donovan, my friend said, well what would you say to him even if he did appear? I said, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi! For some reason, that cracked us up all the way back home!D.K.

Taxes are like root canals- only thing good about them is to be done with them. <BR/>I know you were sequestered in the tax dungeon sparring with those details for quite some time. <BR/>We finished our taxes as well, sent out the part of the side that owes us money so we can give it all and then some to the part that will take it away. All that work, only to have to pay an entity of government more money. Where is the fun in that????<BR/><BR/>Like I said, the only joy was in being done with it. <BR/>I swear, the people who apply for writing tax code must fill out an application that asks<BR/>"Do you state things in a most confusing and convoluted way that is hard to understand"?<BR/>If so, you are awarded the job. <BR/><BR/>I have slogged through whole paragraphs of tax jargon, only to be more confused.<BR/>I am looking for a yes or no answer, and they blather on in ways that make no sense. <BR/>What the hell does that mean???<BR/><BR/>Those annoying side track math mazes.... fill out all this information only to find out you do not qualify, or you can only submit one of these forms, but not both. <BR/><BR/>We finalized the experience feeling like a mouse in a maze. Shredded a bunch of forms that were dead ends. Now considering a root canal to cheer me up.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.com
