Ive learned that you dont think clearly during it.

Ive learned that all your valuables are not really valuable as your own life is.

Ive learned that one cat carrier sucks when you have 5 cats.

Ive learned that running up and down three flights of stars naked with only a small robe on, it is hard to keep it tied and if you accidently pee running up the stairs no one cares.

Ive learned never to stick your hand in a cat carrier to try to pull out a distressed cat.

Ive learned that you should not keep running around in a smoke filled room with your mouth open wide trying to breathe,

Ive learned that smoke gets into every little crack and stays in your house forever, and the smell is terrible.

I ve learned to check your smoke detectors cuz mine never went off.,

Ive learned to always know where you fire extinguiser is cuz I didnt,

Ive learned that we were all very very lucky that Scott had one in his work truck.

Ive learned that 911 operators for the most part suck.

Ive learned that my neighbors love n care bout me even tho they dont even know me, but they took two of my cats in their homes for me and I appreciate them very much,

Ive learned that even if you change into a pair of jeans you can still pee your pants again.  I guess I get too excited and i was very scared.

Ive learned to listen carefully to that little voice that was trying to tell me to grab the 2nd cat carrier out of my storage closet yesterday for some reason, and i didnt.

I learned that I didnt have renters insurance but I do today.

Ive learned that I am very grateful that Scott has been staying with me cuz Holly and I could never have put out the fire on our deck and gotten all our cats and ourselves out.

Ive learned that I will never yell at my daughter for staying up too late on a school night cuz had she not been awake, the fire would have consumed our building along with us and our cats.

Ive learned that this fire started by my careless cigarette smoking and I feel ashamed, selfish and stupid.

I learned that today is the great american smoke out and I am gonna do it, especially after what happened last night and how worse it could have been by my carelessness and selfishness.

I left my husband a year ago.  He remained in the hosue we own-well we dont own it, but a mortgage and a 2nd mortgage.  He moved his brothers family in this past May to help fix up things, repair things, and hopefully sell it.  They all have been living in this house since May and have not once paid the mortgages.  About three weeks ago, I received acertified letter stating that the home will be foreclosed and sold on the court house stairs of the clay county courthouse-the next morning!  So, what I need to know is this:

I have not received any notification of who bought it. 

Will I be notified?

How much time will I have to get all my stuff still remaining in the house, out?

What legal ramifications will I be held responsible for since I have moved out a year ago?

If I file bankruptsy-which I eventually will in my name,  can this debt be included?

Yes, I am pissed that X did not follow thru with his plans to fix up and sell it as he told me he was going to do.

No I dont care a damn thing for the house as it should be condemned by the city since it is there fault thjat the city sewer backs up in our family room everytime it rains! No one will ever be able to live or want to live in this dump.

So, I rarely ask for help from anyone.  I hate to be dependent on anyone.  I especially hate to ask for help since I claim to be on my own now, BUT I need some help.  Most know, I am recently separated from spouse of 27 years.  I also manage a small kiosk store up at the airport.  Here is what I need:

1.  Truck I was using(spouses) broke down two days ago off 152, supposedly had a blown engine, dont know yet, but it is gonna be costly.  Truck is still sitting in parking lot, should be towed tonight, but dont know since it will be getting towed to ex's house and probably sit forever.  I am looking for another means of transportation to and from work.  I have no money saved up at all(sucks to be independent.  I am working on cleaning my credit up and getting a reserve stash in my bank, but ever since I have moved out, I have had expenses left and right-not complaining yet.....I could probably get $500.00.  I know this is not alot of money, but somewhere, someone has something to get rid of.  Just pls keep me in yoru thoughts if you hear of anything (within the next few days because I have no way to get to work!

2.  I need to hire someone to work up at my kiosk.  Pay is $8 per hour plus commission is 10% of whatever you sell.  For every scanner you do sell, you can make at least $20!  It adds up very quickly.  The hours avilable are either 7-1 or 1-7.  I need co verage for at least two days thru the week and a sat shift and a sun shift.  Working up at the airport is alot of fun, I absolutely love my job!  So if you know of anyone who has a college or high school kid looking for a great part time job, tell them to email me at slusby44@yahoo.com.  I need to hire someone immediately!

Like I said, I hate to ask for help, but you never know what is out there to offer unless you ask!  Thanks much fellow bloggers!

So here is some info on what this is:

1) ECONOMIC STIMULUS ACT OF 2008 (HR 5140)

Congress has passed the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 and it is expected that the President will sign the bill into law shortly. The major provision of the Act is the advance refund or “rebate” provision. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has indicated that the IRS will begin preparations for processing rebate checks immediately and checks will be issued starting in May.

Amount of Rebate:

·    $600 ($1,200 for joint returns), or

·    Net income tax liability if lower, but not less than $300 ($600 for joint returns)

·    Rebate increased by $300 for each qualifying child (generally, a child that qualifies for the child tax credit)

Eligible individuals:

·    Must have either

1)      Qualifying income of at least $3,000

C Qualifying income is defined as earned income, social security benefits, and/or disability benefits paid to veterans and surviving spouses, or

2)      Net income tax liability of at least $1 and gross income that is more than the applicable standard deduction + 1 exemption amount (2 exemptions for MFJ)

·    Does not apply to nonresident aliens, individuals who could be claimed as dependents, individuals who do not have valid SSNs, and estates and trusts

Phaseout:

·    Reduced by 5% of AGI over $75,000 ($150,000 for joint returns)

·    Thus for taxpayers without children, maximum rebate is fully phased out at $87,000 ($174,000 for joint returns)

Timing and reconciliation:

·   Generally, based on 2007 return

·   Checks ASAP; no later than 12/31/08 (expected to start in May)

·   Actual credit to be calculated on 2008 return

·   Taxpayer will receive any additional credit due

·   Excess credit will not have to be repaid

So, if you are one of the few who do NOT or ARE NOT required to file, all you need to do is come into any HR Block office and we will file a return for you for $35.00, just so you can get your $300.00 back this summer!  Remember, you must file a return by April 15th in order to receive this starting in May. 

So, I go to cook a peice of chicken last night in my oven on 400.  I have used this same BAKING DISH before-Yes I did say BAKING DISH.  You think it would be able to withstand 400 degrees, considering it is a BAKING DISH. So all of a sudden I hear a loud bang.  I had thought that the rack dropped or something.  This is what happened!  I would like FOX4 to check into this.  I did email the company with all the pics to show also. Good thing it did not explode while I was opening the oven door!  Glass would have shot everywhere! ANCHOR HOCKING makes these and I think I bought them as a set at Walmarts.  Funny, I was expecting them to say "Made in China" but they are "Made in USA".
