29 June 2009

No, I’m not really moving. And no, taxgirl.com isn’t going anywhere. What is happening is that I’m shifting my focus from a Facebook “group” to a Facebook “page.” It simply makes more sense for the blog.
If you’re interested in keeping up with even more taxgirl excitement (including some extra polls and discussion), [...]

Don’t Make Me Have to Wash Your Mouth Out With Soap

12 March 2009

In recent days, I’ve noticed a disturbing number of comments with *not so polite* (and that’s the nice term) references to folks based on their ethnicity and other physical attributes. Those comments have been deleted.
You have the right not to like somebody for whatever reason you want, even though I may think it’s kind [...]

18 February 2009

Apparently, these little people that live in my house have banded together in a plot to do away with me… Last night, I fell victim to their evil plot by contracting what I think is a particularly nasty version of strep. I’m off to get medicated (with any luck). I’ll see you [...]
