ALL RIGHT---- TIME TO DEFINE THE PARAMETERS....
PROBLEM #1------.COULD I RIDE TAXI INDEPENDENTLY???? IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO SWING THAT "LIGHTWEIGHT...OLD PEOPLE'S". SADDLE ON TAXI BY MYSELF -OR MUST I BE DEPENDANT ON ANOTHER STRONGARM..
TAXI IS ONE DARN BIG HORSE... BUT VERY GOOD ABOUT STANDING STILL...THERE ALWAYS WAS A WAY OF STARTING WITHTHE SADDLE QT YOUR FEET AND BEHIND YOU-- SO YOU START THE MOMENTUM WITH AN UPWARD SWING- AND LAND IT ON THE HORSE.--- JAVELYN STYLE??? THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE COULD JUST PLAIN LIFT AND DROP...... IT IS THAT SWING...... AT LEAST WITH A WESTERN SADDLE....
problem #2. DO I HAVE EH RIGHT CEMENT. TO AFIX THE ROCKS TO EACH OTHER AS TH 2 KIDS FROM N.S C HAVE STARTED YESTERDAY....I HAVE 3 SAMPLE PRODUCTS. MORTER SOMETHIGN QUICKCRETE AND SOMETHING ELSE....
NOW IF I GET TEH SADDLE ON TAXI... AND CAN GET ON HER WITH THE LADDER... I COULD THEN RIDE AROUND TEH BACK OF THE ARENA AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST DEAL WITH "TANNERS BARN"" AS JANINE HAS SOMETHG SHE WQNTS TO PUT IN THERE---
JUST SO NO ONE STARTS ANY NASTY RUMORS ABOUT MY SPENDING SDP MONEY ON HORSES... I WILL KEEP YOU ALL INFORMED ABOUT WHAT COSTS WHAT..-- I DO HAVE M Y OWN PERSONAL "FUN FUND". AND I GUARENTEE NOT A PENNY OF SDP DONATIONS WILL GO TO SUPPORT. ANY ANIMAL OTHER THAN DOGS.... THERE ARE TIMES... KNOWING ME... THERE ARE TIMES I GET OUT THE WRONG. CHECKBOOK OR CHARGE CARD.. AND GO AHEAD AND PAY THE BILL... KNOWING FULL WELL LINDA WILL HAVE ME SIGN A CHECK ON MY OWN ACCOUNT TO REPLACE THE FUNDS.... IT HAPPENS...
I HAVE 2 IRS STORIES.... ACTUALLY 3 OF THEM....
THE ESSEX CO COOP-- WHERE I BUY HAY ABD GRAIN....I BELONG---JOINED IT YEARS AGO WITH $ 20 fee.-- EVERY YEAR THEY SEND A $1.00 DIVIDEND CHECK-- I HAVE ALWAYS DECLARED TEH $1 ON OUR TAX RETURN.. ONE DOLLAR.. WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD THAT MAKE???? LET ME TELL YOU... ONE YEAR ALL MY HORSEY FRIENDS GOT AUDITED... AND I DID NOT.... TURNS OUT.. THAT $1 PUT YOU ON A NEAT LIST FOR TEH IRS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE PAID A DIVIDEND.. A QUICK COMPUTER CHECK WITH THOSE WHO DID NOT DECLARE IT GAVE TEH IRS A PERFECT PLACE FOR A NEWLY HIRED PERSON TO PRACTICE AUDITING RETURNS... LESSON-- COMPUTERS EXCELL AT MAKING LISTS-- AND THAT "SILLY" $5.00 CHECK THAT THE COMPANIES SEND THAT YOU JUST THROW IN THE NEAREST DEPOSIT... PUTS YOU ON A POTENTIAL TROUBLE LIST.
OH I HAVE BEEN SUBJECT OF AUDITS....AT THE START OF ONE AAUDIT. I WAS TOLD " WE'VE NEVER SEEN A CASE WHERE A DOCTORS WIFE NEEDED TO REPLACE A BROKEN PITCHFORK". I INSISTED ON AN ONSITE AUDIT.... AND THE GUY SAID HE COULD GUARENTEE HE WAS NEVER GOING TO AUDIT ME AGAIN.... THERE HAD NVER BEEN A COMBINATION OF A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND THE NEED FOR RENTING COCKROACHES-- WHICH WAS OF COURSE MY COMPANY "ANIMAL EPISODES" FOR TEH MOVIE THE NEXT KARATE KID.
HE DID MAKE ME CHANGE ONE FIGURE FROM 0 TO $ 320- APPARENTLY FROM HOME TO OFFICE IS COMMUTING AND NOT BUSINESS EXPENSE..... IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT I HAD MADE THE BACK "CONDO". ROOM A MINOR MEDICAL OFFICE. -- AND HE DID SEE PEOPLE HERE... YOU ALWAYS DO------ BUT THE IRS GUY WAS NOT TO BE DETERRED.. HE DID NOT SEE THE OLD EXAM TABLE AND BOX OF SYRINGES AS A COMPLETE OFFICE.. IF IT HAD BEEN.. TOM WOULD HAV BEEN GOING "BETWEEN OFFICES" WHICH WAS DEDUCTIBLE.
THAT IS A FACT TO REMEMBER NOW. AS SO MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO HAVE AN OFFICE AT HOME.... BOY DOES THAT OPEN THE PANDORAS BOX FOR DEDUCTIBLES.... HEAT LIGHT. WATER. SNOWPLOWING-- I AM NO TAX EXPERT.. AND TEH RULES MAY HAVE CHANGED. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE TAX LOOPHOLES IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY..
NOW. .....BECAUSE OFF MY COMPANY....... ANIMAL EPISODES..... ALLOWED ME TO OWN/BUY... THE CRAZYEST OF THINGS- ALL I HAD TO PROVE WAS THAT I INTENDED TO USE IN A FILM.... AND. MAKE A PROFIT ON THEM... AND OFTEN DID.... LIKE TRAILERS... OR. THAT BARREL THAT SHIELA WORE YEARS LATER... IT IS CRAZY--- BUT DEAD HONEST.
PERFECT EXAMPLE AT THE MOMENT.....I ORDERED AND PAID FOR THAT SMALLER 20 X20. TENT---- I BOUGHT IT FOR DOG FEST... $500... I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR IT PERSONALLY OR IN TEH HORSE/ANIMAL. WORLD..... SO -- I WILL EITHER ABSORB THE COST MYSELF--- OR HAVE THE TENT BE PAID FOR AND OWNED BY SDP.... I WILL LET THE BOARD DECIDE.... IT IS NO BIG DEAL... BUT A TYPICAL ONE.-- WE NEEDED A TENT... AND CAN PROBABLY USE IT IN THE FUTURE TO STAY ON SHATUPON CAMERA. BETTER -----TEH BIG TENT.20X40. WITH TABLES AND CHAIRS WAS $1100 -- TABLES CAN BE $100 TO $200 EACH AND CHAIRS. $20...
SO THERE IS A CONSTANT DEBATE. DO YOU BUY IT AND OWN IT... OR RENT IT. BOTH MAKE SENSE....
IF YOU BUY IT AND OWN IT--- IT MAY SAVE MONEY.......HOWEVER........ EVENTUALLY YOU ARE DROWN ING IN --- STUFF......
