Aside

By the way, this past Thursday we had our first inquiry of the (pre) season regarding tax forms. WTF? They aren’t even printed yet! The guy must be expecting a windfall tax refund or something…

I noticed we just put a bunch of new tax guidebooks out on our new book shelf the other day. I was thinking, “isn’t that a little early?” hahaha… timing.

The earliest I’ve been asked that question was just a few days before Halloween.

Welcome Manda! Frightening isn’t it? Since it’s unheard of to get all your 1099s and W2s before February 1st, I don’t get it… My personal favorite, however, are the people who come in in June looking for extension to file forms!

I’ve always heard that we’re suppose to wait until April to file because the IRS gets the flood of filings and essentially turn off the flagging-for-audit process.

I guess not everyone is a procrastinator… Maybe I should get this person to do MY taxes. 🙂

I don’t know a lot about the tax code, that’s why I have someone do them for me…

Thanks for stopping by Bryna!

You should’ve asked, “Ned Flanders, is that you?” and see if he got the Simpson’s reference.

Quotes

When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully—the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.
- Keith Richards

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.
- Voltaire

Despite the meek, shush-shushing stereotype, librarians are largely a freedom-upholding, risk-taking group. In the name of the First Amendment and anti-censorship, they have championed the causes of provocative writers and spoken out against banned and challenged books.
- Writer Linton Weeks, Washington Post

I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group. ... You think they're just sitting at the desk, all quiet and everything. They're like plotting the revolution, man. I wouldn't mess with them.
- Michael Moore

Those who burn books today will burn people tomorrow.
- Anonymous witness, Nazi bonfire 1933

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Social Democrats, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Social Democrat. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew, Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
- Pastor Martin Neimoller

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
- John F. Kennedy

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
- Benjamin Franklin

A constitution of government, once changed from freedom, can never be restored; liberty once lost, is lost forever.
- John Adams
