It is a strange feeling when I can talk with someone like a sibling here while writing off actual siblings. I think it comes down to basic like mindedness.
I have never had problems with turbotax, though I honestly probably shouldn't have bothered using them some years. If having to do two state returns is the only real complication, I think they'd be sufficient. But the state returns are also where they make their money.
Whatever you end up doing print out and store the 1040 in paper form in a file cabinet. Hold onto all your W2s etc. Don't believe everything will be safe on your laptop. Laptops can blow up/burst into flames - even Apple. Especially Apple. Ask me how I know.
First it was a mass refuge camp for those displaced by israeli immigrants. Then it became 'the worlds largest open air prison'. Now it is a graveyard. Next it will be a resort for ghouls.

So childish. Can't wait for the right wing to shame us When The Time Comes as millions celebrate in the streets and the right wing gets one big fat FU!
Interesting day today. Got a haircut (ever notice that when you discover you need a haircut, your hair immediately starts growing at warp speed?), so I look even hotter than I did when I was--okay, I have never looked hot, but at least my hair is much shorter, I can see my ears, and my eyebrows don't look Vulcan. But this wasn't the interesting part.
I took my winnings from my last casino run, and went to a different casino, in the hopes of parlaying them into something bigger, which almost never happens. Sure enough, I was almost down to the felt, playing pai gow poker, where I played even, but the Fortune side-bet was bleeding me dry (IYKYK).
Anyway, I got dealt a straight flush, which paid 50 to 1 (if you play the Fortune side-bet, like I do). I took the chips, tipped the dealer, and cashed the hell out. I was basically right back where I was when I walked in, so I started over, playing slots this time...only this time I couldn't lose. Long story short, I walked out with a take in the mid-triple digits. Mrs. Hero was verreh happeh, since I always split my take with her.
So what'd the Moron-in-Chief do today, besides TACO on Greenland?
Table games like Pai Gow Poker and Three Card Poker are very zen--you pretty much just play the cards dealt to you, which becomes automatic after you've played a lot of hands.
Last call ‘round here. I start my morning with three back to back meetings starting at 9a.
This weekend, I am seriously putting defensive time blocks to cut down on this crap. My managers solution to nearly every question is “have a meeting”. She has no clue some things are an email. If people don’t reply in 48hrs, the result is so what. Just followup.
When I do resign this job, she will get a copy of “The manager and the maker schedule”
Glenn Grothmann's still around! Remember when he was in a pitched battle with Louie Gohmert for the title of most shatteringly stupid Congressmember ever to grace the Capitol.
"Trump sues New York Times over negative opinion poll"
"Donald Trump announced that he will sue The New York Times for publishing a negative opinion poll about his leadership.
“The Times Siena poll... will be added to my lawsuit against the failing New York Times,” Mr Trump said on his Truth Social platform. “They will be held fully responsible for all of their radical Left lies and wrongdoing!”"
JD Vance on Thursday put the onus on local officials to “turn down the temperature” in Minneapolis, where federal immigration agents in recent days have detained a five-year-old child with his father and gassed protesters throughout the city.
Flanked by federal law enforcement, the US vice-president said he spoke with immigration agents and local business leaders ahead of talking to the press, but he had not spoken with the state’s governor, Tim Walz. He said local officials could be helping ICE identify and arrest violent criminals so that the operation could be more targeted.
Vance said the purpose of his visit is an attempt to “tone down the temperature a little bit, reduce the chaos, but still allow us as a federal government to enforce the American immigration laws”.
Vance claimed the administration isn’t trying to send a political message with the federal law enforcement presence in the state. Walz has called the Trump administration’s crackdown here a campaign of political retribution
Hi Wonkers! It are -17 degrees in Bear's home forest. FAHRENHEIT. That are -27 in sane social democracy degrees.
Fortunately, Bear haz reliable car, and is thus in Enhancement Cave. Which makes him a Swolar Bear! And very grateful.
Just a little polar vortex to get your hibernation on.
downright balmy weather.

Remember the Maine.
My taxes are usually trivial, so I do them myself.
But I moved this year, and so have parts in CA and parts in PA, and I am unfamiliar with the PA tax system.
So, my plan is to use a tax-prep service, just this one time.
Can anyone suggest which one is b̶e̶s̶t̶ 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑠𝑡?
TurboTax? H&R Block? TaxAct?

I have 11 bankers boxes, containing records from 2005 through today, less than six feet away from me. :-)
a local tax prep professional.
trust me on this one.
I agree.

I think The Criminal is beginning to warm up to killing people - like the fishermen. Once he gets a taste of it he will be a literal mad dog.
It's not so much him as it is his murderous bunch of enablers. Real killers are hands on, he's words not action.
Gaza is a mass grave. They're going to level it and build a resort on it. That was the plan all along.
First it was a mass refuge camp for those displaced by israeli immigrants. Then it became 'the worlds largest open air prison'. Now it is a graveyard. Next it will be a resort for ghouls.
But because it was occupied
it was an apartheid state

That's got Miller's fingerprints all over it. Like Donnie the Demented even knows words like "prestigious", let alone how to spell them correctly.
Subliterate punctuation checks out though.
Nazi Miller is apparently up and Twoothing/X-ing as well.

Yeah, but they have to get to the Golden Corral for the early bird special so we still be at work...
Does he realize Canada is a nuclear armed member of NATO?
I kid, of course he doesn't
Wait...Canada doesn't have Nukes, do they????!!!
I don't think Canada has its own nuclear weapons. They may host some American ones.
We've no nuclear weapons to speak of. It is our strength.
Slow jackoff motion.
And Carney breathes a sigh of relief.
Oh, we'll be fucking missed.
You just gotta shake your head...and then bang it on the desk repeatedly...
Fucking clown...
I hope Joe and Jill Biden are in good health and happy spirits, have had a fine dinner and any flavor ice cream desired.
Well, they're not going to McDonalds because that blankety blank ice cream machine is always broken ...
I like cherry ripple. My favorite ice cream is chocolate, but a nice cherry ripple is so good.
And it's hard to find around here.
LOLOLOL that clip from dimwitted GQP Rep Grothman from WI as they end the panel recap on MSNBC!
...with Jamie Raskin in the background saying, "we agree".
Grothman was so slow on the self awareness.
Was he drunk? He had that potato face
Was Grothman the one with the Jimmy Johnson hair? I get my Congress idiots confused.
He looked like a talking potato crossed with a candycane beet
If that's the Alabama dude I think it is...

So what'd the Moron-in-Chief do today, besides TACO on Greenland?
What he did today was threaten a man whose integrity and guts he can never understand, let alone respect. So: the usual.
Rawr!! I have never gambled, but for some big lottery draws, just a couple tickets; it sounds very stressful, which I do not enjoy!
Table games like Pai Gow Poker and Three Card Poker are very zen--you pretty much just play the cards dealt to you, which becomes automatic after you've played a lot of hands.
Queen Violet and Wee Sammy both say 'hi'!
Try to make a taco profit next time...
Dude! That is super-true.
My feathers now grow faster than they did when I was a young sprout.
And they grow even faster the second you notice you need to molt?
Oh yeees! I was brushing my feathers earlier today, and there were so many feathers on the brush, but my feathers are growing longer all the time!
