Happiness is...

S
Smithcraft

Well, a warm gun is always happiness, but sometimes other things work out for you.


So I get home from work, and I carry my bundle out to the mailbox for the Stamp Out Hunger food drive, and get my mail.


As I walk back up the driveway, and into the light I see something from the IRS! Sweet! I figured my return has arrived, and I was happy about that. Then I noticed, as I stood out in the driveway, that this was a correspondence from the IRSn and definitely not a check. Now I wasn't happy.


I put the rest of the crap mail on the car, and tore the envelope open and took a look.


Turns out I missed something on my return, primarily the Making Work Pay credit. Turns out I'm getting nearly $400 bucks more back!


So sometimes happiness is a letter from the IRS. :)

That is true. It worthless getting paid and having to use it all on paying bills. In nice to have some in the bank. So we you see something you like you can say to yourself, \"I can buy that\". :)

Dude that happened to me yesterday, but it wasn't after work but in the middle of the night. My dog awoke my wife since he was sleeping in the baby's room, wanting to go out, instead my wife brings him to my room awakening me at 1 in the morning. The dog couldn't hold it any longer and fucking shits diarrhea al over my bedroom. My wife goes back to bed at the babies room, while I have to stay up cleaning and mopping that shit till 2 in the morning. Lovely!

It could be worse. You could be at work sitting in your cubicle covered in your own shit.

Been there, done that ... I threw away the t-shirt. We have not given the dog scraps from our restaurant food since.

yeah, i hear that. ive been there. thankfully only once.\r \r but i got you beat on this one:\r the neighbor shot a deer and wasnt able to find it apparently because my dog found it, ate some of it and threw it up all over my bed and me. after throwing up for about 20 minutes i burned all my bedding and had to sleep on the cheapest shittiest blanket in the world afterwards. nothing like deer meat and blood to ruin a perfectly good evening. i still get sick to my stomach thinking about it.

What is ten times worse, is that the pilot said, after he ejected, he saw the plane plunge into the house. One of the people that came across him walking down the street said he was distraught not knowing if anyone was in the house.

The pilot story is crazy...\r \r But...after the investigation, if things turn out to be because of something the pilot did (and I am not talking about oopps I hit the wrong switch) such as being drunk, screwing around in the air, something of that nature. Then expect a very different response..

Hope everyone has a speedy recovery and for bronchitis the pink pills work the best on clearing it up. Doctor has to give you a perscription for them those.

The cat did it.

Now I know why DA's cat used your carpet for a litter box Dastard. She senses that you hate cats and took preemptive measures to fight you.\r \r Cats pissing on your carpet is a highly effective attack. :-)

Good deal Dude.\r \r That happened to me many years ago. They didn't send a letter explaining it, I just got my check for almost twice as much as I thought it should be.
S
Smithcraft·
@Fish66 - That works too!\r \r I was sort of expecting contact from the IRS 'cuz I forgot to fill out the line that says how much I want back of my refund, but mo' money is always good!\r \r I'm looking at a four drive SATA to Firewire, nonRAID just JBOD, enclosure for my HTmini system. Running out of space on my 3 WD 1TB MyBooks...\r \r SC

Gotta love it, SC. When you load up them drives, we'll have to sit down and fry eyeballs with whatever's on them. Oh yes, we will. Oh yessss....
