  1. Beats me.

    But I think many folks with very simple returns go to places like H&R Block cause they can't do it themselves. Then they get talked into an instant refund which is simply a very short term loan at an exhorbitant rate of interest.

  2. I think the system is broken when people who have relatively straight forward returns need to hire tax preparers. What a waste of society's resources. Such manpower could be building bridges or teaching.

  3. An Ohio man says he bulldozed his $350,000 home to keep a bank from foreclosing on it.

    He made an investment that didn't work out but feels he's a victim. Maybe he should have bought a house within his means.

  5. I'm certainly not PC. I was laughing my ass off when Matt Dillon trying to impresss Mary in Something About Mary said he helps retards.

    I think it's OK to take shots at America's MILF. And it's OK to take shots at retards. But making a joke about Sarah Palin's kid is going to far IMO.

  6. I had to make some decisions regarding my Dad when he passed away. He was in a coma for 5 weeks before he died. It wasn't all that difficult to decide as I knew how he thought in those matters.

    I think there is too much emphasis on keeping Schiavo's alive and not enough emphasis on clean water and mosquito netting for African kids.

  7. I was waiting on a baht bus about to depart from Patatya to Jomtien and they told my rather hefty friend he'd have to pay double so we just got off and flagged one down. Got there faster.

    More and more I'm declining to sit and wait on a baht bus that won't move until 12 are sitting down with 2 others hanging off the back.
