OT - What are you doing right now?

Struggled with the "free" e-filing several hours today on the IRS website; I could've filled out the regular 1040 with pen quicker than this.  In frustration I went to H&R's website and got an appointment at 4, seven minutes later they were done.  
I swear, I'm gonna join the Amanas or Mennonites or xxx yet.  Dammit.

Did mine this afternoon. Used TaxCut, went easily. No problems e-filing and it was already accepted by the IRS just a half hour after I filed.

Only owed a grand this year. Sweet!

Yeah. Instagram is still pretty cool. If it wasn't for my rving groups on faceblock, I'd have dumped that one a while ago. #JeremiahinSC. (Yes John I stole your idea)

I am on hold dealing with an airline...booked an international flight last week and was messing around only to find the same flight $200/person (2 people booked for Sep 2018) cheaper.  Refundable tix but I need to hear the story...
Edit: timing is everything...   
Edit #2:  After a "don't shoot the messenger" conversation I have to take my issue/concern up the corporate food chain.  Onward and upward...

Waiting on my flight that keeps getting pushed back. 

That is one busy airport.

It's Scotties private airport.  I bet he is pi$$ed his pilots late.

Brisket tacos... I had a point vac sealed in the freezer. Thawed that for this week’s meals. I made corn tortillas flavored with some sweet paprika, added some Chuy’s creamy jalapeno dip/sauce, and a little tapenade made with some kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, lime zest & juice and some chopped cilantro.  These did not suck.

@YukonRon I might be game this year. Trying to figure out the details now.

Taxes finally done. And filed!

I paid a pro this year. Cost me $180 but saved me a lot more. Ill take it.

I have a lot of respect for customer service done right. I think you can't go wrong with RW, CGS, or Smobot.
I have a problem, likely something I may have done, and Smobot is on it like bark on a tree.
This was amazing on so many different levels.
Awesome folks, helping me make worthy BBq.

I'm in an all-day conference call for the DOE.  As terrible as that sounds, it is actually preferable to being there in person, in Washington DC for the meeting.

I do too.  Called Benchmade a few days ago to buy a deep carry pocket clip, nice lady ended up sending one satin and one black with screws, all free.  I will be ordering a custom knife when I get some extra play money because of this.

Yesterday I called Bed, Bath, Beyond to see if they would honor the 20% off coupon that specifically said in-store only, and fine print states no LC, on a 9qt LC DO that wasn't in any of the stores around, even Chicago.  A sweet lady from Jersey did in fact honor it, she told me about her handed down Guardian collection, nice lady.  Saved $90!  Like doing business with them too, and their similar to Costco no hassle return policy.

Ron, go ahead and tell Brent has your sons room....since I already have a room...or the garage with the possum would be ok. I would not put him in the basement though.

I pay a pro too, always have avoided that annual headache.

He's my Dad's neighbor, known him as long as I've been alive.  He cuts me a deal, great guy.

The last minute push is pretty ballsy.
Always sit down in Feb, as soon as my W-2 is ready to print.  Like the DNR, you don't want the IRS to come a knockin'.

@northgacock @bgebrent @jeremiah @yemtrey @doubleegger......
Bring it.......
Robin, dont worry about the garage or basement......we got rooms, and two working bathrooms, finally!!! We no longer have to go outside to the honey bucket, and take showers with the garden hose.
Plus there is a nice VRBO 2 doors down across the street.
I guess I need to start making more slushies.....
I really should get that possum out of the garage, just in case.....

If no baseball, dibs on the garage.

Checking with the wife and calender, a good possibility.

good....letting Brent have access to all your wine would not be a smart move. You might even want to work on your security of said basement to protect yourself from further risk.

Agreed. We pay a guy that came highly recommended to us 15 years ago so we have used him since that time (the year we moved and kept our first house as a rental).  In 2017 we sold the rental house and sold some stock and bought a beach condo. This created more work for him and it cost us $475 instead of the usual $175. It seemed like a lot until I reviewed the return in detail and saw that it was 80 pages long. Then I realized that it was once again worth every penny.

Oh, yeah. Had not thought about that. We are screwed. Brent is not the problem.......The real problem is the one wearing the crown. Girl can throwdown some chardonnay.
Ain't sayin' just sayin'. She works up a thirst keeping Brent in line. I will stock up for her....
There goes all my space for reds.......

BTW, if all my posts look brilliant, from this day moving forward, it is because we are installing Google fiber today. I will no longer be lazy, fat, slow or ugly.
It is finally here.
