LAST NIGHT'S INSOMNIA.......it is about the tanning booth the irs is convinced we must be prevented from running...
you think i am kidding???? form 990 part V question 14 a
" DID THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVE ANY PAYMENTS FOR INDOOR TANNING SERVICES DURING THE YEAR?"
THERE ARE 3 VERY FULL PAGES OF QUESTIONS I LOVE TO ANSWER NO TO...-- MOSTLY BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF "IF YOU ANSWERED YES... THEN FILE XXXXX WITH THIS 990"
YOU THINK I AM KIDDING??? 990 PART IV LINE 34 "WAS THIS ORGANIZATION RELATED TO ANY TAX EXEMPT OR TAXABLE ENTITY? IF YES COMPLETE SCHEDULE R PART II, III, OR IV AND PART V LINE 1-- AND IT GOES ON AND ON ---
BECAUSE OF ALL THAT MUMBOJUMBO THAT I HAVE TO SIGN MY NAME TO YEARLY, I GET NERVOUS WHEN THINGS ARE HAPPENING OUTSIDE OUR FRAMEWORK...
LET ME MAKE THE NEXT QUITE CLEAR--- I TOTALLY APPROVE OF RENEE AND LYNNE AND THEIR SPEAKING PROJECT... THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB... AND THEY SHOULD CONTINUE
BUT MOSTLY THEY NEED TO BECOME THEIR OWN ENTITY AND SUFFER THRU THE PANGS OF IRS INVOLVEMENT...AND DO THIER OWN 990.
******
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT SHIRTS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SDP..... TWICE BEFORE SOMEONE LATCHED ON TO OUR ORGANIZATION... THEY SELL SHIRTS CAREFULLY LEAVING OFF THE WORD "PROJECT" MAKE A SMALL DONATION - THEN CONTINUE TO SELL SHIRTS AND WE NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN.
I AM NOT INSINUATING THIS WOULD HAPPEN WITH RENEE AND LYNNE-- THEY BOTH HAVE OUR DOGS-- THEY CAN'T GO AWAY.... BUT THEY CAN & SHOULD HAVE THIER OWN HEADACHES WITH OUR TAX FRIENDS AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS UNRELATED TO THE EFFECT ON SDP.
THERE ARE COMPANIES OUT THERE WHO GUARENTEE A SIGNIFICANT PROFIT IF I WOULD JUST LET THEM USE OUR NAME/LOGO ON A BUNCH OF SHIRTS AND HATS - AND I NEVER HAVE DONE THAT.
THE OTHER REASON IS SHEILA HAS A PRETTY GOOD LINE ON SHIRTS OF GOOD QUALITY..HEARTY SHIRTS THAT WASH AND DRY -- AND THE ACCOUNTING IS FULLY ON OUR BOOKS, NO PROBLEM. I SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE THAT POLICY...
ALTHO IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED WE PUT OUT HATS--- BLUE GWEN HAD SOME MADE-- I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH A WELL MADE HAT COSTS-- BUT WE COULD DO THAT.

NEXT PROBLEM -- WHIPPED CREAM
IT IS SOLD 3 TO A PACK AT COSTCO-- SO EVERYTIME WE HAVE A NEED... SOMEONE BUYS A 3 PACK--LIKE FOR THE ICECREAM-- AND WE USE 1..
EVEN WITH THE MODERN MATH 3 MINUS 1 LEAVES 2-- AND I BET WE HAVE 8 CANS "AROUND" BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXPIRE FOR 17 YEARS-- THEY PILE UP
NOW IF I HAVE CREAM AND SUGAR IN MY COFFEE AND WHIPPED CREAM IS SUGARY CREAM WHY NOT ????
AND IT IS GOOOOOD.

NEWS ON THE GOLF CART FRONT.....
THEY COULD NOT GET A BURGANDY ONE QUICKLY---- WOULD A BRIGHT RED ONE BE OK..?
OF COURSE.
*******
AND THEN THERE IS A BIGGIE...
THERE DOES EXIST A COMPUTER PROGRAM WHICH COULD KEEP A DOGS ENTIRE RECORDS IN ONE FILE MEDICAL , TRAINING, BREEDING.. ETC AND IS THE KIND OF THING ADI ACCREDITATION WOULD BE IMPRESSED WITH.. ... SOUNDS WONDERFUL
EXCEPT... WE HAVE ALL THE PIECES RABIES LIST, BREEDINGS, MEDICAL, TRAINING..
WE JUST DO NOT TIE THEM TOGETHER... AND I DO NOT WANT TO... THERE IS A NEED TO KNOW FACTOR....
SPREADSHEETS ARE WONDERFUL--- AND KEEPING THEM UP IS NOT A HUGE DEAL...
WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO IT ALL THE "SYSTEM" WOULD BE IS A NICE TIDY INDEX OF PROGRAMS... WHICH WE ALREADY HAVE
SO MAYBE WE SHOULD DO AN INDEX..
KEEP IN MIND.. I HAVE BEEN THERE DONE THAT.. AND SAT FOR HOURS CURSING AT SOME PIECE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY..AT THE WANT AD AND SDP...
COMPUTERS ARE ABSOLUTE-- ONE TYPO CAN SCREW UP THE WHOLE THING- PLUS TO KEEP IT PURE WOULD TAKE MORE TIME DOING COMUPTER WORK THAN TRAINING DOGS.
MY BIGGEST ARGUEMENT IS LAHEY HOSPITAL-- I AM SURE THE BEST COMPUTER, THE BEST TECH DEPT, ETC... AND I COULD NOT GET MY BLOODWORK TRANSFERRED FROM MEDICAL RECORDS TO THE DR'S OFFICE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER WAS DOWN.
ANOTHER HUGE ARGUEMENT WAS THE WANT AD BILLING SYSTEM-- THEY SPENT $50,000 ON A BILLING SYSTEM--- WORKED BEAUTIFULLY FROM MARCH TO SEPTEMBER- THEN $100,000's GOT SCREWED UP WITH BILLS PRINTED THAT MADE NO SENSE...--
SO FOR YOU PUZZLE TYPES-- HAVE A GO AT THIS...
OCTOBER GOT PRINTED BEFORE SEPTEMBER... AND IT GOT WORSE-
-OCT,NOV,DEC FEB MARCH
THEN JAN,OCT,NOV,DEC FEB MARCH... EXPENSIVE HELP WORKED ON IT AND TRIED ALL KINDS OF SOLUTIONS...
IT WAS A TYPO--- ONE LETTER MISTYPED... WHICH TOLD THE MACHINE TO READ THE DATES LIKE ALPHABETS NOT NUMBERS-- SO LIKE A PHON E BOOK WHICH SORTS
SMITH
SMITHSON
SMITHSONIAN
TAYLOR
IT WAS SORTING

WE MAY NEED SOME RE ASSESSMENT OF SYSTEMS WITH BETTER CONCENTRATION ON A SOURCE DOCUMENT... BUT TO HAVE SOME MASSIVE INTERTWINED... NO THANK YOU.
EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCES...

I WILL BE HAPPY TO ADVISE RENEE AND LYNNE HOW TO BECOME THEIR OWN NON PROFIT BUSINESS..
FIRST----BUY A HUGE BOTTLE OF ASPIRINS
