And I'll bet there aren't many of us in the other 40% who don't pay
$30-$50 a year for software to simplify things. I like to read
through the directions whenever I feel like I'm paying TurboTax too
much. There's always some part of it that makes the $50 well
worth the money.
Our complicated tax system is an [regressive] economy booster.

since the majority of our congressmen pay someone to prepare your taxes, so
you may very well be right.

So far, hubby hasn't bought software or paid someone else to do it. I
think he thinks of it as a challenge and he's pretty good at keeping
what we owe to a minimum w/o setting off any audit buttons. When you
think about it, the tax code is written by lawyers turned politicians
- so of course it's as clear as mud to the rest of us.

Yeah, some of the stuff doesn't have ANY oil in it. It should have
EVOO in it (or on top of it). You're lucky if you find a brand even
made with refined olive oil. Let alone real lemon juice instead of
citric acid.

Well we did but sadly when I looked it up last night it looks like the
restaurant who made it is now out of business. I was wondering why I
couldn't find their falafil (that's their spelling) wraps any more. I loved
those things. Central Market quit carrying them and went to another brand
that were weird and not so good because they put iceberg lettuce in them. I
suppose this wouldn't be a problem if they were really fresh but they would
have a pull date of like 2 weeks out. So you never really knew how fresh
they were. And the one that I bought had turned all soggy from the lettuce.
They must have complaints about those because I only saw them the one time
and never again.

The average price for hearing aids is around $2000 each. A binaural set
will be around $4000. You can get hearing aids a lot cheaper on the
internet. My understanding is that Costco is ramping this thing up.

Because I can't make it in individual cups? Yeah, I could put it in a
container. And wouldn't I need a food processor for that? I got rid of
mine and don't intend to get another. I can get plenty of other hummus that
is good. I just can't get any in individual cups, AFAIK and I don't want to
have to lug a container back home. I had to grab something quickly to eat
at the dance studio. So that's what I did.

But you can find really small rubbermaid-type containers and pack it
in those. You can even find them at the dollar stores. And then you
can make it with whatever or no oil you want...And you can go to
Goodwill and get a little processor, or even Target. Ok, your turn!

Yeah. I have them. As I said, I didn't want to lug a container back home.
And I don't *want* a food processor. I have a small kitchen and no place to
put it. Oh and I don't want to make hummus. I like to cook. I don't much
like to just whiz stuff up in a food processor.

I threw the hummus away. Nobody will eat it. The peanut butter is very

Lay of the crack, Julie. You have an excuse for everything. The
container weighs about an ounce and you have a purse and car to put it
in until you get home. How the **** hard is it to save the container
and take it home? It's not hard at all.
You're just FULL of these super-lame-assed excuses just to create

Stick blender or regular blender works just fine. That's how I do

And that is why we will never have a simplified tax system. For years
I did the paper forms, but then I started using a tax program. I pay
Turbo Tax because it is just easier and faster, especially since I
have to file two states also. I'm willing to pay for convenience.
I also file taxes for a few other people. They are high school
graduates and not stupid by any means. They are, however, befuddles
by the tax forms. Many people find them intimidating. I do it for
free because I just can't see them paying the fees the H & R Block
type places charge.

No, but I didn't explain my flour buying history, my reasons for
buying it, who in my family eats what kinds of flour, blame the store
for it (ridiculous subject), and I didn't poo-poo all the suggestions
for freezing, double bagging, and storing in special containers and
then make excuses as to why they would be impractical or otherwise
make my life miserable and seem insignificant.

the next 6 months. Your turn!!!
