JUNE 8 2014
TODAY IS THE DAY FOR ME TO TACKLE THE IRS..-- AND SINCE ALL OF YOU LIKE DETAILS....AND SOME  CP'S  ARE NEW....

I HAVE THIS ON GOING ARGUEMENT WITH THE IRS ABOUT RUNNING A TANNING BOOTH.  I NEVER HAVE RUN A TANNING BOOTH NOR  DO I WANT TO.. IT IS THE 990 FORM "THE RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX..."  SO I SHOULD-- AND DO  TAKE IT VERY SERIOUSLY.

BUT.......  THEY HAVE A 4 PAGE LIST OF THINGS ---INCLUDING #14  THE TANNING BOOTH QUESTION...ALMOST ALL OF WHICH GET CHECKED NO.  EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THEY THROW IN A YES JUST TO SHAKE YOU  UP...  

SO I DID ALL THAT... AND NOW I HAVE A LETTER... "WE NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION"

"IF YOU CHECKED BOX 3 YOU MUST COMPLETE SCHEDULE H" ......  YES  NO
  WELL I CHECKED A BOX..... I CHECKED "NO" ( DID WE DONATE TO ANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN?)
WHY I ASSUMED  THE  "NO"   MEANT I DID NOT HAVE TO DO SCHEDULE H I DO NOT KNOW...  

SO TODAY I MUST GET A SCHEDULE H AND DECLARE
"WHAT % WAS SPENT ON \POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS?...........  ZERO
"WHAT DID I DO WITH THE REST?" ........................................I BOUGHT DOG FOOD. 

THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T LIKE THAT ANSWER... THE IRS S DISTINCTLY LACKING IN A SENSE OF HUMOR.. 
 BUT THIS LETTER GOES ON AND ON

IF YOU CHECKED LINES 5,7 8  YOU MUST COMPLETE PART II LINES 1-11... ETC  

I HAVE TO ADMIT-- ANY QUESTION THAT SAYS "IF YOU CHECK  YES.. YOU MUST......" I CHECK THOSE NO  BECAUSE THE SERVICE DOG PROJECT IS EXTREMELY SIMPLE-- AND I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS MEAN..
THEY HAVE SOME VERY LARGE WORDS IN THEM.

HOW ABOUT "DID THE OGANIZATION HAVE ANY UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME "

 I TOTAlly  IGNORED OUR "PUPPY BREATH MANUFACTURING COMPANY" WHICH SELL THE VIALS  OF PUPPY BREATH FOR $8   ( REFILS ARE $5)
 OR HOW ABOUT THE  "FROZEN RODENT DELIVERY COMPANY" ...GETTING  HEALTHY /DEAD RATS TO GEORGE TO REHAB OWLS....  (BE CAREFUL ABOUT LOOKING IN THE GUEST HOUSE FREEZER.)

 MEMBERSHIPS?  HOW ABOUT THE "IPSWICH SHATUPON SOCIETY"   AND THE VALUE OF THE CERTIFICATE AWARDED?  $0.0036-- ANYTHING ELSE IS A GIFT FROM ME PERSONALLY AND TOTALLY UNRELATED TO ANY TAX.

SO I HAVE A PROBLEM..  FILLING OUT THIS #^%%&^% QUESTIONNAIRE IS GOING TO TAKE MORE OF MY TIME THAN I CAN WILLINGLY GIVE...

************
OTHER THAN THAT...

THE DOOR IS ON THE MEAT SHACK--- WHICH STILL AWAITS A PROPER NAME AND COLOR OF PAINT--- STEVE GETS TO DECIDE THAT...

AS FOR THE ROVING VOMIT AND POO REPOR T  WE HAVE A COUPLE-- ARGE-- THE LITTLE GUY--  WAS BAD LAST NIGHT --- THROWING UP  6 TIMES-- BUT NOW SEEMS OK-   AND VICTORIA HAD SOME VERY LOOSE POO-- WAS THE ONLY   NOTABLE ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT

SARGE IS WAILING FOR BREAKFAST AS I TYPE-- AND HILLARY DID GIVE HIM SOME BABY FOOD WHICH DID STAY DOWN.

ALL WE CAN DO IS SUFFER THRU THIS-- THEY SEEM TO GET OVER IT.  BIGGEST SUPPORT IS TO WATCH FOR DEHYDRATION AND GIVE FLUIDS IF NEESSARY.
*******

SADLY  THERESA HAS GIVEN HER  3 WEEK  NOTICE  --- SHE WILL GO ON VOLUNTEER STATUS- BUT CAN NOT COMMIT TO A REGULAR  SCHEDULE..
THAT LEAVES US SCROUNGING FOR HELP TO COVER HER MULTITUDE OF JOBS... THE BIGGEST OF WHICH IS :WHERE IS ANYTHING...  SHE HAS BEEN HERE 10 YEARS.  HOPEFULLY SHE WILL CARRY HER CELL PHONE  AND HELP US FIND THINGS..
********

A QUICK TRIP TO HOME DEPOT FOR INSULATION AND THE SUNDAY STEW  BUNCH SHOULD BE ARRIVEING.

IF  I COULD GET EVERY STEWER TO PUT IN ONE RAIL-- PROGRESS ON THE FENCE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT..

AND TRACY WILL BE HERE TO PICK UP COOKIE TODAY.  SHE IS GOING HOME WITHOUT A PUP- WHICH SHOULD BE FINE-- I HAVE NOT  BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY MILK OUT OF HER IN 2 DAYS...
