Title: THE LAST OF JANUARY
Post by: bk on January 31, 2019, 12:51:43 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the last notes of January, and now it is time for you to post until the last of January cows come home.

Title: Re: THE LAST OF JANUARY
Post by: elmore3003 on January 31, 2019, 04:28:42 AM: I'm currently reading a book about the infamous Ronnie and Reggie Kray, so I read from 8:00 to 9, and decided it was too cold to stay up any longer. By the time I finished filling the humidifier, the cats' water bowls, putting the heavy comforter on the bed, and shutting down the apartment, it was almost 10. Annabelle and Thatch stayed close all night, and several times Annabelle crawled under all of the blankets to get warm lying next to me. The problem is that once she's there, she spreads out, taking up the space of two of me. Thatch has a heavier coat, so he prefers to lie on top of the blankets and cuddle next to me.

Post by: elmore3003 on January 31, 2019, 05:01:40 AM: Annabelle helped me clean the litter, and as soon as I finished, she jumped in to pee. She will not be happy that we are not patrolling this morning. It's too damned cold to wander around the halls.

We got all our statements, and surprisingly some came in well before January 31 that in the past have waited until the last minute, so I was able to finalize ours and get it out. Businesses like yours, Larry, are still complicated but that's a very good thing, since the complexity is all about the deductions, which are good. (The income side is pretty clear.)
Title: Re: THE LAST OF JANUARY
Post by: FJL on January 31, 2019, 06:01:46 AM: Since we're not itemizing, just taking the standard, so many detailed calculations needed in the past aren't relevant under the Trump-Mnuchin Income (I use that so I can call it "TMI," but that hasn't caught on :) ) rules. I'm thinking only people with extremely high medical or very generous charity deductions will be itemizing.

Post by: FJL on January 31, 2019, 06:16:48 AM: This "Who Wants To be a Millionaire" contestant fraud in the UK from a decade ago seems to have been a big deal there. But it seems so easy to catch, that it seems strange they thought no one would find out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQoNWw0G2AY

The video's ten minutes, but SPOILER -

it seems it was done just with coughing from people in the audience. It seems so rudimentary that every now and then I wondered if it's a joke, but ...

And still a balmy 70% tax rate for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

but everyone knows that she knows in the Trump negotiating world, you have to demand 70% and nothing less to get 50%!

So, you may ask, what did Rob and I do at 9am on day 2 of the Polar Vortex? We met several of my AAUW friends, some husbands, and another son at the storage place and we moved stuff from there into the 2019 book sale venue. Yes, it was cold, but we were all bundled up and finished in just over an hour. We have a great location this year.

I remember those days.

(And where but L.A. would one say such a thing about? )

What's interesting (to me) is that a few of them, in my seventeen years there, stand out -- the rain, and what I was doing, created a few indelible memories.

1. I lowered my guard
2. After their dinner, she and Thatch were feeling frisky and romping all over the apartment.

I had just tallied up my film and theatre tickets and reached for an envelope to hold them when Annabelle leaped onto my worktable from the windowsill, knocking over a pile of envelopes and all of How to Succeed . . ., all of which slid onto my tax receipts and knocked over my table lamp. Then, to add insult to injury, she climbed onto my desk calculator and erased the total amount for the tickets before I could record it. Thirty minutes later I calmed down.

I have been wondering all week why my HMO check hasn't cleared. Today I discovered that I had never mailed it.

Oops!

Annabelle did everything she could to make you find that envelope!

This year I did something special. Facebook helps us set a birthday donation page for an organization of your choice. I decided on The Trevor Project. With family and friends, I have been able to achieve 66% of my goal of $500.00.

Post by: bk on January 31, 2019, 09:57:54 PM: I also finally watched Blackkklansman, which I'd avoided like the plague. But it's really a terrific movie and more entertaining than you might think. I was concerned about intense and violent scenes, but there are none of the latter and while there is a certain uneases in some scenes that's how it remains, and I really admired it for that. And the performances are uniformly excellent.
