Car Art, Tax Scams, & Menu Items.

"The man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them." Mark Twain.

By popular demand the new Subway Car:

I think there is something fishy about the above story. And there is certain some fi
shy stories in the following article:

I've been on a diet but I don't think I'm going to order off of the following menus:

I hope you really manage to finish with work today. And I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

The fish subway car is amazing. I'd hate to see that coming at me in a dark tunnel.

Tax scams? No, thanks, not for me. I'm scared of the IRS.

The menu items are very funny. Oddee.com has some extremely weird offerings.

Here's hoping by the time you read this you've got your shoes off, slippers on, suit off, sweats on and your feet up. Here's also hoping you don't have a month of clean up and extensions to deal with, my dear.

Like Pat, wouldn't want to meet the fish train in a dark tunnel or anywhere else. How strange.

Tax scams? You *know* how I feel about taxes and the IRS. Half the time I'm afraid to claim legitimate deductions. The video on Schedule Cs didn't warm my heart, but I hope my piddly income won't do anything to draw attention.

As to the menu items... I don't think so.

Hope you have a great weekend of relaxation and rest!

Hi Pat

Worked twenty-two hours in the last day but didn't finish. I've got about five hours today and off to a movie.

The fish car would scare me in the daylight, heck with the dark.

Did you ever notice the timing of the tax scam stories? Alaways in April.

I ended up spending some extra time on Odee.com

Hi DR

I did my best but didn't quite finish. I have to deliver a project to Mark, complete a tax return at work (I just got to tired yesterday), answer two IRS notice, and then I'm done.

Don't ever not claim legitimate deductions. Your tax return should be your first offer in a period of negotiations. Remember at best only 2% of returns get audited. The others aren't audits they are part of the matching program they have now. We are almost at the stage where the IRS could do your return from the documents they receive. As to thinks outside the matching system like deductions you don't get them unless you ask and if I told you had a 98% chance to win the lottery would you buy a ticket?
