Once again i am severely pressed for time and cannot spend the time necessary to respond properly here, but at a high level:<br /><br />Yes, Bora Bora for next year's Blog Fest with a pit stop in Cuba where we may or may not utter the word Fidel.<br /><br />Yes, I filed an extension, which I absolutely hate doing and it goes against all my principles but things were out of my control and I was relying on other people for information and blah blah blah extension.<br /><br />Regarding the zero turn lawn mower, that sounds like a death trap to me although I an intrigued at the prospect of high speed. Have you ever seen the teacups ride at Disney World? Where people are being flung from one end to another, hair flying, mouths wide open, screaming and getting dizzy? That'd be me on a zero turn lawn mower. <br /><br />Goose news (not to be confused with good news, at all) will be forthcoming...tomorrow in fact. <br /><br />Chespeake Bay Mother has written a brief response, which also responds to comments made by Grandma J. and TJ on the original contest post, so read up and then come back here tomorrow to see what she has to say.<br /><br />Hope your Tuesday does not cause the high blood pressure it's causing me.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-88345086754446718372009-04-14T16:25:00.000-04:002009-04-14T16:25:00.000-04:00I filed an extension even though I'm far enough al...I filed an extension even though I'm far enough along in my taxes to know we're getting a sizeable refund.

Quite a picture....<br /><br />RE: IRSa<br /><br />I recommend an EXTENSION!!<br /><br />Best,<br />AMNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-89236269678785514102009-04-14T12:57:00.000-04:002009-04-14T12:57:00.000-04:00I've been told that you can cheat on your taxes an...I've been told that you can cheat on your taxes and that you may not get caught.

You speak the language, and there will soon be lots of room at Guantanamo Bay for the 2010 BlogFest. I'll make t-shirts, you make Cuba Libres.<br /><br />Of course, we'll have to find out whether we should pepper our speech with a whole lot of Fidels, or never speak his name, ever.

This is the first year we've had them done and dusted before April 15th. We were filed by Feb 5th. I feel like I should be running around in a nervous panic over taxes, having a total breakdown over missing paperwork. <br /><br />I'm assuming you'll have the Bloggerfest site for next years Bora Bora retreat up and running soon?Auds at Barking Madhttp://www.abritandabit.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-17273867642243439042009-04-14T03:54:00.000-04:002009-04-14T03:54:00.000-04:00Ha ha ha...this will be THE most humorous post eve...Ha ha ha...this will be THE most humorous post ever!!I was ROFL!<br /><br />Filing for the taxes is a 'taxing' job.So all the best.<br /><br />If not happy journey to BORA BORA<br /><br />(cant stop grinning)love<br />chaitraCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633291405359858121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-40409949827861609802009-04-14T00:23:00.000-04:002009-04-14T00:23:00.000-04:00That's perfect!
