What are you talking about, my wife heard that stuff ALL.THE.TIME. Because everybody said that to me loud enough for her to hear.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!!!

The other day i printed an entire OneNote notebook to a pdf and then saved that into ChatGPT with a request to summarize it. I suppose i could do something like that. Print all of the emails from a client to a pdf, put it in ChatGPT and ask to summarize it.

Hey tax peeps… someone sends you an email with a note that says “keep this in mind for tax planning next year…”

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT NOTE? How do you remember to pull that up in 6 months or whenever? Where do you save that email and then bring it back up when you need it?

You will be visited by three spirits

Trump puppet: “look at me I’m tremendously presidenshial”
Musk: “it was a hand puppet at first but it was disgusting reaching up that diaper”

I bury mine in a park in Northern Virginia. Lots of privacy. Hardly anybody goes there.

This sounds like a pumpkin patch trip

You look like one of those guys on a British detective series that everybody thinks is the murderer but at the end we find out you’re just living in a trailer in the woods because you’re estranged from your children. 😁

Sugar cookies are better than anything else

All of that is true, and I wouldn’t trust the police not to just lie about all of it Just make it all up. Guy could stand up in front of a camera and say he was the shooter and I still wouldn’t trust the police.

I don’t trust the police to find their own balls with their pants pulled down to their knees

When I lived in Yokohama we could see Fuji from our kitchen window when the weather was right. Not often but occasionally.

14 years past this and still not recovered

What? No!!! On the other hand will you go back to tinder? I miss tinder stories

well, not ALL of us

oh, not true!! at least, in DC, there is a $300 filing fee for the biennial report for LLCs. Average that out to $150 every year, assume combined tax rate of roughly 45% federal, state, self-employment, and you're looking at close to $67.50 in tax savings from having that LLC!!! LLCs rule!!!

that would be great

oh, i forgot about those!

hey #TaxPeeps - anybody have a good off-boarding letter to send to a client?

my mother-in-law passed down her recipe book to my wife. All the recipes include instructions like.. use a good bit of this, a fair amount of that, as much as you need.. All of the recipes. No actual measurements of anything.

Don't worry, the story i will tell my friends about this drink will include that reference to grandad Jean Philippe...

i would go anyway. i love the waiting room. The forced stillness of just having to wait. Just quietly be.

okay i'll ask the dumb question: i know how to make a cranberry simple syrup. How much lemon do i add to make a cranberry lemon simple syrup?

you should come out on Monday to my shared work space building on, uh... Many-business Monday.

my life is complete

This is perhaps the most unpretentious, unsophisticated promo video I’ve ever seen. Which makes it brilliant. Literally perfect in my opinion.

I would have to see it to know how much I’d pay for it

Thinking I might have to adopt this for my tax clients

My wife and I took so long on our wills that the people we picked to take care of our children developed Alzheimer’s and now our children take care of them.
