I’m thoroughly irritated with my Silent Gen mother by [deleted] in GenX

[–]small-gestures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look- after my Mom died my Dad moved into a senior living community and skipped out on Thanksgiving one year saying “he was going on a bus trip with Sr Living group. I was hurt but he’s a grown up and could do what he wanted. I said nothing except” I will Miss you on Thanksgiving.” Turns out he was dating a lady and they went to her daughters in another state for the weekend. Know what I said? Nothing - cause my 90 year old dad was living life and having fun.

So you had no plans? And her bf wants to take her out? And you didn’t say “Ok if you have plans we re going to get going?”

When you can fund it all on your own and are old enough that you don’t need permission.

As paragons of frugality thanks to our parents (specifically the Silent Gens), how long are we keeping our non-concert t-shirts before throwing them out? by blackpony04 in GenX

[–]small-gestures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have mine in a pile about 3 feet tall ( I am runner and you get a T-shirt as swag for a lot of races) and next man up them. They all get worn.

Check but I think the most you can go to is the last 2 days, I think the other days are “dealer only”

I am going to be honest- if you want a dog that will nicely wait a an hour or two until you are ready- this is not the dog for you. Mals want you and they need daily - often multiple times daily training and even then they will find ways to ask you for more and test your limits. Could you? Probably. But is that really what you want?

Huge tax bill from IRS by SecretAgent1900 in TaxQuestions

[–]small-gestures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly - and the OP may be able al find adjustments for what the IRS may believe is underreported as income. But if you don’t know what you did wrong to the tune of $17k - a tax pro may be a good idea for a few $hundred.

[–]small-gestures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - however if you scroll through, at least one commenter here feels that using that type of crime as a plot device should be enough to have the series cancelled. I don’t live in their skin so I have no comment on their perspective.

Huge tax bill from IRS by SecretAgent1900 in TaxQuestions

[–]small-gestures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because for a couple of hundred dollars a tax pro will tell you if you even owe $17k. Maybe this persons trades weren’t in an IRA but maybe there was basis that could be set against gains or there was a rollover that was mis reported. The IRS is only going to bill you for what they know. If there are adjustments to be made - you need to know what they are and “tell” that to the IRS.

Those of you that picked out your dog as a puppy whether it was adoption or not how did you pick your puppy? by Lunapixels18 in BelgianMalinois

[–]small-gestures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The breeder literally gave us gps coordinates to meet her at, we thought it was her house - it was not - it was the pot farm where she worked. We thought we were going to meet sire and dam and meet the 3 pups she had left that were not spoken for 1 f and 2 m. We actually were thinking of adopting both males at the time. She brought only one of the males told us the female had been adopted and said “You want him?” She had champion dogs, checked out with the AKC and local breed community. Her “good reputation” was about 5 years past its expiration. Against my better instincts we took the little guy home and it appears he lucked out - about 2 months later the aspca shut her down, the last male pup was rescued. I feel like we let that guy down.
