Amen, Bud. Not that we men are any easier to figure out sometimes. But, I did have a girl slam a door on me in a very similar fashion once. She cheats on me and *I* get thrown out the door. What?
Tax day AND my 29th freakin’ wedding anniversary. How many of you were born AFTER I got married let alone those glory days of 1977? Eh? I see you… put your hands down, you’re not in school anymore. Yep, 29 years. Long frakkin’ road but I still have my hair, so I’m doing something right. It’s the Mountain Dew.
Speaking of “Dreams”, let’s do a little Molly Hatchet today. If you’re taxes aren’t done, stop dreaming and get them done. For the rest of you, take a hint from me and go live your dreams, we’re not getting any younger. Doing this comic and starting my drawing career has been the best thing I’ve ever done besides have three sons. Though some days I wonder why…
🙂
****************************
If you need more time to file your taxes, file an extension, Form 4868. It’s EASY! Name, address, SSN, how much do you (think) you owe…done! Get the form from the IRS here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf
Pay what you think you owe or pay at least what you can afford to pay (if that’s the best you can do, you’ll be billed for the rest plus a late fee and interest…just like the credit card companies.)
Then, you have until 10/17/2011 to get your taxes done without being late!
That’s the key. Most people think they can delay paying their taxes by filing an extension. Not true.
Yeah, if you owe, you owe… nothing delays that and it just gets worse, so file and pay something. The IRS is not a friend of mine and I do everything in my power NOT to pay taxes. And for good reason, look at what they do with it?
I believe in our system, but for the past 30 years our government has not earned the right to spend MY money. I’m sure this will piss a few folks off, but it’s what I believe.
I do my share, I hired employees for years and paid the taxes on their wages (wasn’t my money). So, I’ve done my part.
😛
Congrats on the anniversary. My neighbors just had their 28th. lol I don’t have to pay taxes. Being jobless has at least one benefit. lol
Hey, at least he got to keep the album. There will be plenty other women as you go down the road, but how many albums will you be able to pick up on someone else’s dime? Not many, so you actually came out well here. Had a great weekend with a find young lady and left a bit more profitable. All in all I think Monday’s starting to look like it’s gonna be a good day. 🙂
Oh yeah, I came out way ahead on that relationship. Buy me an album and I was in heaven.
I told my wife when we got married to buy me an album instead of a wedding ring. To this day I do not wear a wedding ring but I still enjoy that album! Which was a better investment?
Yep… 😛
I never understood the delay tactic in doing ones taxes. I get mine done around the 10th of Feb. once I know all my tax papers are in. I go, I file and I wait for Uncle Sam to return my money to me w/in 7 to 10 days. He always owes me, I make sure of it that rat bastardo!
Onto the comic, what is it w/ women and wanting to be with a man so she can mold him and change him? Ladies, you need to accept the package you have before you, if it’s not what you want, you cannot force a round peg into a square hole, capiche? Stop the madness, let us men be who we is! *smirk*
Most folks end up owing Uncle Sam money and to delay the pain (again, why?). Yeah, if you don’t owe, file. Hell, file an extension as they don’t care if you don’t owe them (or you get a refund). The IRS only wants folks who owe money. They don’t have jobs if Uncle Sam owes YOU money.
🙂
Yeah, it seems to be in most women’s DNA to want to alter their man into what they want. And you hit the nail on the head: we are what we are, deal with it or move on.
I had a lot of them move on… so… 😛
At least he’ll still be able to enjoy that album…. for about five more years until CD’s come out! Make it ten more years, I guess… then CD players will become affordable.
Yeah, about 10 years as I was 30 when I got my first CD player. There were about 10 albums out at the time… luckily one of them was a BTO Greatest Hits CD so I was set.
Anymore, CD versions are way off from the original albums. One, they’re remixing them and don’t sound the same. Two, they muck around with the order and content too. Extra stuff is fine, but damnit, leave it in the order it was originally released… we *DO* care about that shit.
Soap box put away… 😛
Nice one!
And yes, I was around back when you got married… and in 1977, too, for that matter.
Man, how do you consistently get the right results with your Grooveshark plug-ins? Ever since they revised the site, each attempt I’ve made to link a song to my Arpeggio page has resulted in the wrong song being linked. What’s the secret?
Grooveshark screwed up the Widget tool there for a while. But, when all else fails I uee this page:
http://widgets.grooveshark.com/make
Helps if you know the song you want and that it’s already on Grooveshark. There you can customize it the way you want. The Default Widget share tool was broken for a long time, but does get you to that page if you click Customize. If not, just bookmark that page. Works for me.
🙂
Excellent! Thank you – that IS, indeed, good news.
You are way ahead of me, my marriage lasted about a a year. But then again, at the end of it I was frankly relieved…..
Marriages are funny things. Like an old trusty tool, they either work forever or they break down right away. There’s no secret. Sometimes you gotta try a lot of tools to find the one that works best. Also, with good tools, there are little kinks you put up with because the tool has worked well for you over the years. Yeah, you could trade up to a new tool, but then you’re back at point zero again.
I need to go to Sears now… be back in a bit… 😛
Happy anniversary Byron! I firmly belive that marriage is THE hardest thing you’ll ever do, & I always admire folks who can make it work & be successful for extended periods like yours. I managed to stave it off until I was 47, so I’ll only be 7 years in come July. Great music choice! Even tho I tend to be a purist & it’s very rare that I like re-makes better, or even as well as, the original, this is one of the rare ones for me – I like ‘Hatchet’s version as well as, the Allman’s (mainly because they didn’t do a note-for-note rehash. ‘Hatchet changed up the tempo a bit & made the song “theirs”). As far as the IRS goes, let’s just go by the old adage “If you can’t say anything good about someone…” & let it go at that. I always end up owing out the wazoo & NEVER pay early. I’ll be damned if I’m gonna pay before the final day & let those rat bastards (opps, just said something about them, huh…) earn intrest on my money & get any more than I’m already givin’ ’em, mumble, mumble, fargin’ bastidges, mumble, mumble…
Well, we grew up with Bambi’s friend Thumper quote of “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all… unless their politicians.”
I may have embellished that quote and it was not meant to be a factual statement…
🙂
I’m totally hooked on Hatchet’s version and I know the die-hard Allman Brothers fans are gonna knock me upside the head, but hey, it’s a free world. To be even more honest, I am not a fan of the ABB… at all. Great musicians and great music, but not my cup of tea.
As a certified descendant of true rednecks, you’d think the ABB would be deeply routed in my blood, but I missed that somehow.
As far as marriage goes, well, it’s just day by day. Never know what’s next and you just gotta roll with it. Worked so far.
😛
“If you can’t say anything nice about someone, come sit by me.”
I fergit the source.
I’m there…. 😛
It’s by Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Teddy Roosevelt’s daughter.
Happy Anniversary mate, and to your “better half” too!
You’ve managed more than twice the years that I’ve accumulated through two (failed) marriages! And we’re the same age! 🙁
Oh and the women wanting to change men thing is exacerbated by Church weddings.
On the day the woman is all excited and due to this she only remembers vital parts of the ceremony:
First she sees the Aisle,
Then the Altar,
Then she sees You…
And that’s what she remembers from her wedding day
“Aisle Alter You!”
😉
They also hear “For Better…” but the “For Worse” part.
😛
Of course, we’re knocking women today, I’ll open it up and let the ladies pile soon enough.
😛
I just realized that, if my first marriage had lasted, I’d be celebrating my 25th anniversary this year. Hmmm … “celebrating” is the wrong word. You “commemorate” disasters, right?
Yep… I throw a Titanic party every year… 😛
You’re gonna end a comic on your anni-freakin-versay with the line “women!“? It must be love, brutha.
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary, dude! Congratulations to you all. 🙂
