30 DAYS HATH SEPTEMBER WHICH MEANS JAN UARY HAS 31---SOOOOO TODAY -- THE 24TH MEANS WE HAVE 621 BRICKS TO SELL IN THE NEXT WEEK...
COME ON....YOU ALL CAN DO IT.
IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT IN ADDITION TO THE GIFT FROM ME TO THE WINNER....ALL OWNERS OF THE NUMBERS INVOLVED IN THE SHAT RECEIVE MEMBERSHIP IN THE
SHATUPON SOCIETY OF IPSWICH
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE THE SOPHISTICATED JUDGING THAT GOES ON TO DETERMINE THE PRIMARY SHATTED UPON NUMBER...
IN PREPARATION WE LINE UP 4 OF THE 3 OZ PAPER CUPS--- THEN WITH A VERY DELICATE BALANCE SCALE WE FILL THE CUPS WITH TOILET PAPER TIL THEY ARE ALL IDENTICAL - BY BALANCE--
IF THE HEN SHOULD SHAT IN THE CORNER OF A SQUARE WE WOULD NEED ALL 4..... IF TEH HEN HITS A LINE, WE THEN TAKE PUTTY KNIVES AND DIVIDE THE PRODUCE ALONG THE LINES-- THEN MOP WITH THE TOILET PAPER SO EVERY DROP IS INCLUDED IN THE WEIGH OUT... EVEN WIPING THE PUTTY KNIFE .... .
A FEW TIMES IT HAS BEEN CLOSE.
THE ENTIRE CROWD SUPERVISES THE DECISION...
******************
ON ANOTHER TOPIC...
I HAVE HAD A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PRINT BEING TOO SMALL.. I AM NOT SURE WHY-IT LOOKS BIG ENOUGH WHEN I TYPE- SO I WILL TRY THIS...
***************
BETWEEN THE APPLE /MAC----THE HP PRINTER -- THE NEW QUICKEN PROGRAM.. THIS PROMISES TO BE A DIFFICULT TIME TIL I GET THE "BOOKS" READY TO DO THE NEW 990-- WE USED TO DO THE 990 EZ--- BUT SINCE THE CAMERA CROWD.. WE NOW HAVE TO DO THE 990FU-- ( MY NAME FOR IT) AND FURTHERMORE TWO OF THE ACCOUNTING FIRMS I HAVE TALKED TO THAT CAN DO A 501 C 3 CHARITY AUDIT.... WANT AN INCREDIBLE AMT OF MONEY TO DO THE AUDIT-- WHICH IN OUR CASE IS NOT A COMPLICATED DEAL... PEOPLE SEND US DONATIONS, WE PUT IT IN THE BANK, AND WE SPEND IT. CASE CLOSED... NO LOANS.. NO LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS... NO NUTTIN.
SIMPLE QUICKEN REPORT.
*****
EXCEPT THE 990 HAS MANY QUESTIONS .. MY FAVORITE... ARE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER RUN A TANNING SALON??? DON'T LAUGH... I THINK IT IS QUESTION 14 ON ONE OF THOSE 990 SECTIONS.
******
THE BIGGEST PART OF THE 990 HAS BEEN THE PUBLIC SUPPORT SECTION.. IT HAS TO BE OVER 33% OF PUBLIC SUPPORT ( WITHIN 5 YEARS?)TO CONTINUE TO BE A 501 C 3.. CHARITY
FIRST COUPLE YEARS IT WAS ME... AND I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT GETTING ABOVE THAT 33%
NOW I AM HAPPY TO REPORT -- LAST YEAR 2012 WE WERE 67%
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE MATH TYPES... IT GOES LIKE THIS ( I THINK)
TAKE YOUR TOTAL INCOME TIMES 2% THEN COLLECT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONATED MORE THAN THAT NUMBER--
THEN ADD UP ALL THEIR DONATIONS AND SUBTRACT FROM YOUR TOTAL INCOME
THAT GIVE YOU THE "PUBLIC SUPPORT" INCOME
THEN DETERMINE WHAT % THAT IS OF THE WHOLE INCOME... AND THAT IS YOUR MAJIC PERCENT...
PURPOSE OF THAT IS SO THE IRS CAN DETERMINE IF YOU ARE EALLY INVOLVED WITH THE PUBLIC-- OR ARE Y OU JUST TRYING TO DEDUCT A HOBBY WITH A FEW OF YOUR FRIENDS.
AND THE Y DO ASK JUST WHO DID YOU BENEFIT??
IT DOES MAKE SENSE.
****
NEXT TIME THE CAMERA GOES OFF HAVE A LOOK AT THE 990 SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE GOING THRU...
*******
WE ARE ABSOLUTELY GOLDEN OUR OVERHEAD IS MINIMAL.
**********
AND I AM HOPING FEDEX BRINGS ME A BUNCH OF NEW CAMERA EQIUPMENT -- IN THEORY WE SHOULD GET THE SOUND GOING IN THIS GO ROUND.
HOW IS THAT FOR PRINT?????
