Six days from filing to money in account, a record !

February 8, 2020

$20 win!



Can't believe that my Fed and NYS refunds will arrive on the same day next week. Record time for NYS.



Another retirement party. 7 oz. Buds, known as nips.

Just made a CD of Symphonies 3 & 4. Symphony 3 is a crossword fave: Eroica, E-Flat, and allegro.



Filed, refund coming. Over 3K combined Fed and State.



So sad, the family has my prayers.

Fed Tax refund came in today. NYS will arrive next week.



$17.50 win. Also $1 from Mega and a free ticket from Take Five.



Friends have recommended Amazon Prime. I signed up for a one year try-out. My boys will enjoy the streaming audio and movies. I will enjoy the free two-day shipping.



Doing a Penne Bay Scallop Shrimp Alfredo dish tonight. I always take off the white, fibrous looking flesh on the side of the bay scallop.

Nothing for me as far as the teams. I will root for Atlanta because I can't root for the Patriots. As usual, food, TV ads and half-time show are the sides. I could not get my usual Super Bowl Deli special so I will audible: 80 wings from Buffalo Wild Wings, a three foot Chicken Cutlet Hero, Shrimp and Black Bean over rice instead of Chili, Pigs in a Blanket and Pizza. Of course, chips ,pretzels and dip will be available.



Finished this one. I enjoyed it. Lots of complaints on the Internet from traditional Archeologists. They don't like shortcuts like LIDAR technology. The "White Leprosy" ( mucocutaneous leishmaniasis) issue afflicting half of the expedition was horrifying.



Did taxes today. Should get around $2,500 combined state and Fed. Beats last year when I screwed up withholding after ending the Widower rate, paid 3k as a result.

Today day is the Feast of Epiphany, or as I know it - take down Christmas decorations day.



Finally received the NYS software. My overall refund this year should be around 2K. The IRS won't accept returns until January 23, 2017, much longer if earned income credit or additional child tax credit-- after February 15, 2017. That does not apply to me, hope to receive the refund before Lincoln's birthday. I may do an Amazon gift card bonus applied to $100 which gets me a $110 gift card.

Left over from Super Bowl, I had a glass in my collection and threw an Orange in for good measure. I still have some Coors left, that came with the Hero.



Fed refund arrived this morning. NYS says a review is needed, don't see why, that will take an extra four weeks.

June 28, 2013

Hooray ! Finally received my NYS Tax Refund. Delayed because I had to manually submit it, rather than E-Filing.



Windows 8.1 screwed up my wireless Printer settings and kept giving me error messages. “Printer not activated – Error Code 20. ” I downloaded drivers from the HP site but that didn't work. The solution ? Control Panel and add Printer. Took me a while to get there but it works fine now. A good place to start is HP Support.



Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Live on SNL) ft. JAY Z. A great Pop song. Timberlake is good. Only got to appreciate him from SNL.
