Meantime, since the topic is pay, my SS was in my account this morning.
I'm sure it is of interest to everyone.

I am to send him next month:-)

I am fed up with those guys. I pay an accountant to do my taxes. One was
expensive so we found on cheaper. The first time there was a very small
error, less than $2 but they came after me for it. I had owed more than
$3000 that year, so they came after me the next year for quarterly
payments. I paid $3000. The next year the accountant got me a $2700
refund. Great. The government sent me $5700. I cashed the cheque and
put it into a savings account. A few months later they came after me to
provide proof of $3000 income tax deducted. They reassessed me, billed
me for the $3000... plus interest.

It turned out the accountant had screwed up and had counted the
remittance as income tax deducted. I was prepared to pay them the $3000
but I fought over the interest. I pointed out that I had paid an
accountant. I had only applied for the $2700 and they sent me the other
$300. I had not asked for it. They argued that I should have notified
them if I had suspected an error. They evenutually relented.


The year we bought the house I had applied for tax credits at the house
we had just bought and the apartment we had been renting for the first
three months of the year. I got audited. I had to send all my receipts
in. A month or two later I got a letter from some guy in a town almost
30 miles from here with all my receipts and a note explaining that they
had been sent to him with his papers. I was doubly ****ed because if
there had been a problem I would have no paperwork to prove my case. I
wrote to Revenue Canada to complain. The *******s denied that could
have happened.

Sure. Post your bank routing number and account number here and I'll do
it this afternoon.

LOL, my husband's as well. Totally fascentating!

I live comfortably within one of those states. My debt is my wife´s debt.
My income is my wife´s income. Everything we own is "community
property". Everything is "joint tenancy with rights of survivorship"
except our wedding rings.

When my mom was in her final years, and her money and assets were nearly
depleted, I expected Medicaid to cover the remaining hospital expenses, if
needed. I was advised to sign nothing by a nurse at the hospital. It didn´t
come to that.
Both of my parents left this world not owing a penny to anyone. I´m working
on doing the same. So far, so good.

Rabies, tetanus and ticks. My three greatest fears since I was a kid. I must
have missed the thread. What bit you?

That´s dirt cheap compared to the disease running its course. If a dingo
seems friendly, avoid it. If a bat seems to need your help, avoid it.

There is no rabies in Australia, but you're right about the bats. They
carry a virus that's not easy to catch from them, but if you do,
there's no cure.

I used to be terrified of snake bite, even through there were no
rattlesnakes where we lived. We moved when we were teens and there were
some there, not many, but some... enough that I saw one while hiking
with my dog. It was the 60s's when they were fair game, so I smashed it
with a rock. I later learned that rattle bites aren't always fatal.
That eased by attitude a bit.... until I learned that they are
excruciatingly painful and can destroy muscles, nerves and blood vessels.

I hate skunks. I lived next the the Niagara Escarpment they those
*******s used to come down out of the woods into our neighbourhood every
night. If you were walking at night you were almost guaranteed to run
into one. My brother and a friend both got sprayed.
