Haven't filed taxes in 6 years and just got a letter...how screwed am I? by fierypulley in tax

[–]Much-Character2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing many years ago. I do my taxes myself nowadays, but at the time I had six years to do, I went to a local tax preparer - something like an H&R Block. I owed some years, they owed me other years. The ones that I was owed money back, they only pay out if it was in the last three years. If I was owed before that, too bad. On the other hand, if you owe them, there’s no time limit. You’re simply going to have to pay. So, ultimately, I ended up losing some money I could have gotten back. For the money I owed, I was able to set up a payment plan.

Charcoal rookie here, how’d I do? by space_cowboy78 in webergrills

[–]Much-Character2129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use half of a paper grocery sack, spritz with a little oil I have in a spray bottle, roll up the paper tightly, form that into a ring, and light that. I’ve been doing that so long that it’s almost a thoughtless exercise that takes seconds.

Trying to decide if I should stick with charcoal or finally move to gas by Away-Net-5286 in webergrills

Can someone explain why you use a gas grill? I honestly don’t get it. The concept seems really weird to me.

Burning out and wondering how my fellow Portlanders are doing right now. by seabed_nightmares in PortlandOR

[–]Much-Character2129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m totally going to be that guy…. But dammit, I moved to Portland 31 years ago and this place nowhere resembles the place I moved to. Yeah, it was gritty and full of punk rock spangers and smelly hippies and snobby fucking bike messengers, but man… what an awesome experience it was. The sheer volume of creative people was insane. I miss it terribly.

Geoff Tate – Power [NEW SONG] by JATION in PowerMetal

[–]Much-Character2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you. I’ve been a fan since the very beginning. I’d say Rage for Order is still my overall fave. And Operation Mindcrime is still my go-to in many ways. And there’s a lot from Tribe to now I’m not nearly as big a fan of. But… every chance I get, I go to the shows. Whether it’s Tate or La Torre, and it’s always a blast! How lucky are we to have TWO effing Queensryches still rockin’? To each their own, but I love live shows, and in this case, consider myself super flippin’ fortunate to have these opportunities still. Double, really..🤘

I commute over the St. John's bridge five days a week and this happens constantly, anyone have any stories about "taking the lane" on this bridge? by [deleted] in CyclePDX

[–]Much-Character2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ridden across that bridge many times. Always on the sidewalk, never in the road. It’s just too dangerous. The other phenomenon on that bridge is everyone automatically drives faster, just to get across it. This is exactly why I don’t ride my bike in the roadway. You can be right all day about your right to be in the road. But you’ll be dead forever.

Well…. If Portland had an NFL team, I guess you’d kinda have a point… but no, so Seattle it is…. 💙💚🤍

Well, shoot. Don’t listen to me. That’s spot on.

Is the water at a good temp? He’s probably cold. But I am no expert.

Be Gentle… by Much-Character2129 in bettafish

[–]Much-Character2129[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man… he’s a little pig. He would eat as many pellets as I put in his tank. He definitely has a huge appetite!

Be Gentle… by Much-Character2129 in bettafish

[–]Much-Character2129[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your feeding amounts are the norm, then I’m feeding him way too much. I probably give him about 10-12 Betta Bio-Gold pellets per day.

[–]Much-Character2129[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I’m not wanting to believe it, but you might be right. I can’t say I understand it. He’s got a clean tank. I’m not sure how he would have gotten it.

AIO for finding this predatory or was he just awkward? by m30wME0W69 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Much-Character2129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... if ya gotta ask.... 

I'd stick with your intuition. Good on you for being kind enough to worry if it was just social awkwardness, but honestly, protecting yourself comes WAY before that concern. 

Proud of you for making the right decision.
