How can you tell you've gotten old it's when you look at the date and compare it to when the Social Security checks will clear  your bank---  that's how

 

I'm sure I'm going to eventually end up in jail however couple of years ago for an extremely complicated reason I stopped and looked at the bill from the accountant which was about $750 to do my income tax when I only have two sources of income and aside from donating too much to one charity or another it's been a very simple income tax form to fill out so I should be able to do that.... especially   On their easy tax form... however if one simple question arises and you look for help you got a problem...  I was advised to take all my information and go into Copley square on a Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 and there was there were desks set up for help with tax forms... I can't think of a better place in the world or an easier place to get to for somebody who's over the age of 64 in Copley square at 4:00 in the afternoon so I wrote back to them and said to them that I was 86 and couldn't even think about getting into Copley square at any any day of the week and they wrote back and said well hang in there we'll get to you basically well I'm hanging... and I know that I'm gonna hang a lot better it's like basically send the money and not worry about the paperwork which I have done before and I'm doing it now I have that letter that tells me.." wait they'll give they'll help me with the paperwork".  but if they don't, i  have a copy of it I may end up in jail anyway so be it----- the only paperwork I know how to fill out which I've done for years is extending the deadline which was extending the deadline for paperwork you still have to send the money I just thought I'd let you all know when they come calling for  me.

 

I cannot think of a publication more complicated and relatively useless then the IRS instructions for  trying to file your income tax...  In my history.  back 50 years or so--- I have taken all kinds of accounting courses but the more useful  one was supposed to be one given by H&R block which allowed you to call yourself some sort of tax expert.. Now it is so complicated I can equate that to my title of Canine good citizen inspector from the AKC/=== Or heaven forbid just plain dog trainer.

 

Speaking of dog trainers Katie took noodles out with her group of five or six dogs which she exercises daily by jogging them through the woods various Massachusetts parks and yesterday it was a park in Gloucester and she took noodles and we have a wonderful picture of doodles nearly submerged in just plain mud having a delightful time off lead somehow ===he comes when he's called  he's learned that much from me any rate he had a wonderful time wallowing... she apparently knew of a fairly clearly running stream before she got back to her car so she let him play in the stream be sure she brought him home it wasn't too bad when he got home all there are a few crusted spots of crap he had a wonderful time he will make a super dog for somebody--  probably not me --I believe we have three people now who want him in the mean time he's gotta work the daycare centers with the rest of us.

 he's a funny dog.. but my nerves are far more suited to the Great Dane puppy I also have and thanks to several other people the Great Dane puppies that are still out there waiting to be adopted

 so life goes on. and on and on.

my latest naughty notice is 3 harlequin danes in mass... that would give me a replacement pair for siz and larkey assuming i last that long .
