TBH, this also applies to tax preparers.
Another big red flag "My friends/mom's group/coworkers/strangers in the grocery story (none of whom are accts/TP) said" insert incorrect advice/tax code interpretation/opinion. And get mad when you correct them.

Don't ask if you don't want the answer.

Sorryβ€” typing on my phone, fat fingers, forgot to put my glasses on… should be EZ as in Elizabeth Zimmerman!

Good news but you're going to need to followup to make sure they actually do release her.

Because the odds are NOT in favor of that.

That’s our current theoryβ€” she used so many colors, but the fade should be replicable. She used the EX percentage method on most of her sweaters, so that’s also easy to figure out.

My gramma knit this sweater probably 50years agoβ€” she made at least 4 similar ones; this one belonged to my granddad.

My uncle recently died and my dad has been going through his things with my cousin, and they decided I should have this.

Really looking forward to seeing if I can replicate it!

It’s like no one remembers Fetterman. Dude ran as a Democrat and parroted everything a good progressive would say and as soon as he was elected, he flipped the other way.

People are complicated.

The continuing saga of my shoulder issues: The MRI showed partial tears of bicep tendon and labrum. Also biceps tendinitis.

I’ve got a referral to a specialist to discuss surgery or cortisone shots or something. I’m hoping we get in fast and can start moving forward.

Very much in pain a lot.

It’s lifted almost the height of my foot, and it’s in a spot that you won’t see it if it’s dark.

Sounds like the homeowner is getting a permit and contractor to get it fixed, so that’s good I guess.

Yes, but also no. Any tsunami would come up the sound & be made worse as the sound narrows.

This is dependent on what part of Cascadia goesβ€” the further south, the worse it would be for Seattle. Portland’s screwed regardless.

Apparently, his owners own a nearby bed and breakfast, his name is Nazgul and according to the NPR arcticle, β€œNazgul is a "stubborn, but very sweet" Czechoslovakian wolfdog, the owner said.”

Not with more doctors and funded hospitals and clinics, but by forcing people in rural areas to use AI to diagnose and treat themselves.

And not even providing any upgraded internet services to do so, or training and equipment.

So good luck, I guess?

Agreedβ€” They should stop trying to stifle their laughter and just laugh.

Ask Trump and his minions to name all 8 wars he’s stopped. Ask them to provide specifics on what he did to stop the 8 wars.

The β€œRight” people voting (meaning white cis-het male republicans) electing the β€œRight” (same definition) leaders.

She’s saying the quiet part out loudβ€” only the Republicans get to vote and be in power.

I dunno, looks like she's being successful at setting a fire at this warehouse/concentration camp-to-be.

Cheers, ma'am, and fabulous shoes too.

According to the IRS, you have to report all income received including that received due to illegal acts ie selling drugs, theft, etc, so he should be reporting as income all bribery funds received anyway.

His CPA is violating IRS ethic rules if not, especially because it's widely known.

Adding "criminals and pedophiles" next to Trump is both redundant, because he's both, and necessary, because there are a LOT of them in government.

Ok, so if she lied under oath, can they put her in contempt of congress and take her to congress jail for the night or something??

If there's no consequences to lying under oath here, what's the point of having them swear to tell the truth/etc?

Conspiracy theorists and hard-core right wingers have been saying for years there's a cabal of rich pedophiles running things and it turns out they are correct about that.

Just not correct which side of the aisle the rich pedophiles were on.

The Democratic Plan to β€œReform” ICE Misses One Huge Thing We are no longer talking about individual law enforcement agencies, but rather a giant, singular blob.

Hey so if you need to call the IRS this tax season, don't expect anyone to pick up.

" The IRS provided 1,771, which out of a total special agent population of about 2,100, means about 84 percent of its agent workforce was detailed to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations

Agreeβ€” I did 4 days of fasting/liquid diet ahead of time, then 24 hours of prep. The liquid tasted like my usual electrolyte drink but less sweet. The pooping was… yeah. The nap was AMAZING and the food afterwards (Qdoba) was the best.
