We owe 8K-- better than last year which was 11,5K. They lost the check and I had to write another check, and then they cashed them both. And THEN they tried to tell me I owed a late fee.

Last night I read that the reason men are quieter than women is because they're the hunters. WHere women have to communicate and cooperate and so they learned to talk more.
I don't remember where I read this. It was 3 am and I was browsing.

<<I finished the 1997 Amended taxes, overpaid by almost $1,000. >>

I over paid by 8 large last year. A combination of a good previous year and the farmer of my ground dying and not getting the grain in to be sold plus the dreaded quarterly taxes. It's only money.

<<ADD is probably genetic. It's Attention Deficit Disorder, without hyperactivity. The best explanation I have read is that people like me are descended from hunters, we scan the horizon, unfocused, until we see prey, then we hyperfocus on it until we kill it, then go back to unfocused scanning. >>

I have been diagnosed with ADD. Thanks for making me feel better about not being on drugs to cure it. You have explained why I was a much better hunter than my friends. I may try it again next year, I'm getting hungry for some fried rabbit.
