He's actually a Dave ELP, so I'm excited. Called around to get 3 different quotes and they were all in the same price ballpark, so the ELP fact broke the tie. I'm nervous b.c I haven't filed taxes in 3 years (bad, I know). He's charging me $300 each for 2009 and 2010 and $200 for 2011. I'm...

And were a mutli millionaire what would you do with the money? I would put money away for DD to go to school. I would go to school myself. I would by a house not a big one but must have a nice kitchen, and a big enough back yard for a garden, and studio space for painting. There is a few people...

Isn't there a saying that goes something like 95% of what you worry about never comes to pass? I've found that to be very true. The last two and a half years, I was under some serious stress about a situation that I couldn't control, but I put so much energy into it anyway. The lack of sleep...

Had a bad fat taping yesterday. Binged a little today*, then had a long workout at the gym after work. Work went long, the gym was a long session and this led me getting home later than usual which led to a marital spat. Said spat is resolved and now it is time to get back on the wagon. I...

Back in June, when I had my CA125 blood work done, my cancer marker numbers rose from 13 to 33. Normal range is 0 to 35, so I was still in "normal" range, but my onconologist wanted me to have a PET done then. Well my insurance put up an argument claiming that since I was still in normal range...

I am having surgery tomorrow morning. Please think good thoughts for me.

I'll be voting and we'll be using new machines this year. We've had the old fashioned lever ones for years and hope the new electronic machines don't have people taking a lot longer to cast their votes. I'm a little nervous, lol, once I use the new system I'll be fine but I just don't like the...
