morning, moving slow today...have to sit in house & wait for Fedex to deliver our fancy new phones (comes w/all sorts of weird capabilities...steaming movies?why anyone would need that is beyond me). I don't plan on using those features (nor paying for the extra monthly pkg); just needed a bigger keypad so I could see the numbers.

pam - channelling TVT ? tv said it was mightly cold out in your neck of the woods; keep warm.

mac - chocolate i made brownies yesterday (they're 1/2 gone already, doesn't mean they were good, just that my boys like to eat ).

mic - I'm in an island state of mind today: no snow, no shovel, no worries; 'mon (have i mentioned we're not supposed to crack 20 today, yow-za.

gant - good luck to DS on passing his DL test today (everyone remembers their 1st time ). Rules were different in my day too, could get permit before 16th birthday...my Dad had me @ the testing site & back in school by 9:00 a.m. with a shiney new license. (Miss him so, strict as heck but, so cool; he'll be gone 20 years next week ...coalminer, roofbolter until diagnosed with black lung...tuff guy...proud to call him my dad)

Thanks...it is very cold here...not as cold as yesterday's -8 degrees. When i took the boys to school it was 8 degrees out.

I know what you mean about your dad. My dad was pretty strict too but now he is a softie! I think the years tend to soften them up a little As a kid he didn't spend much time with us as he worked late left early to make a living for a family of 7. Now I think he kinda regrets it and is all about his grandkids now!

did you work it out so you get to work from home now?

 

[Bob Slydell]

did you work it out so you get to work from home now?

No, just today, since the seminar is only a few minutes from my house, it makes little sense for me to drive an hour back to work (getting back to work around 3pm) only to head back home another hour or so later.

morning!

feel like giving a tax seminar lol...

can't get an answer as to the credit for phone federal excise tax Line 71 (got the gist of it as to dependents, etc. & that it's a refundable credit, etc.)...

Q:

do you know if the credit is limited to 1 per household or per line (as in sep. name & bill) into the household .

cannot determine from what i've read.

It's one per household, but the amount varies based on how many exemptions you have:

http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=161504,00.html

The standard amounts are based on the total number of exemptions claimed on the 2006 federal income tax return. The standard amounts are $30 for a person filing a return with one exemption, $40 for two exemptions, $50 for three exemptions and $60 for four or more exemptions. For example, a married couple filing a joint return with two dependent children (for a total of four exemptions) will be eligible for the maximum standard amount of $60.

Hmmm I made a post yesterday but its MIA

Thanks everyone for the nice birthday gift. It will go to good use

We just got home yesterday. We left some really nice weather in Orlando to some really cold weather here. Ice on streets and all that good stuff.

no that wouldn't make much sense. It would make more sense just to let you go home and still get paid for it!

I didn't realize it took you an hour to get to work...how far of a drive is it for you?

glad you're back deena...did you have a good time?

 

[Bob Slydell]

It's a half hour or so to work from my house, but the seminar is 15 minutes or so the opposite direction, so it'll take me 45 or 50 minutes for me to get there this afternoon.

 

[keishashadow]

welcome Deena...

glad you like the present, how was the birthday?

how was the World...did you have the same short waits that my DS did (who's now hounding me for points to book the same time next year lol)?

saw the film of the ice storms in TX, makes me glad we've just got a coating & it's freezing.

 

[Bob Slydell]

Welcome back Deena

oh gotcha! It would be kinda crazy for you to drive all the way back to work. Glad they saw it your way
So will Cam ride his bus home and meet you at home today?
