Not exactly sure where it happened but some guy took a picture of another man sitting down using the toilet and shore it to some of his coworkers thinking it was a funny joke. Wtf?

Regarding health care and employment we live in a litigious environment. In health care it creates defensive medicine, in employment it creates defensive employment. Both can be very expensive for both the provider and the consumer. In health care, the patient that doesn't pay is the first to sue, in employment, the incompetent employee is the first to sue. The one thing I've learned is that when it comes to a less than desirable employee--document, document, document.

I have to ask why? Why would you take a picture of your coworker on the crapper?

sorry i'm skimming here, but are we talking about state refunds? a federal income tax refund is never taxable. if the refund was too high as originally claimed, you would need to pay back the tax you were incorrectly refunded. conceptually you aren't being taxed on something being income (in which case you would only owe tax at your income tax rate, not dollar-for-dollar), you are being asked to pay back something you never should have received in the first place.
for state refunds, these are only taxable to the extent that you received an income tax deduction. state income taxes are an itemized deduction just like mortgage interest, real estate taxes, charitable contributions, etc. but if you don't itemize your deductions and you get a state income tax refund, you never received an income tax benefit for those state taxes so you don't have to pay income tax on the refund.
again, sorry for skimming if this has already been cleared up.
see my post above. that's not entirely true. you are only taxed on a state income tax refund to the extent that you received a deduction in the previous year. no tax benefit? no taxable income next year. you can choose to only deduct the standard deduction if you don't want to pay tax on your state refund the next year, but that would be kinda silly since your itemized deductions are likely saving you far more than the small income tax you pay the next year.
and one more thing: for those of you going to the h&r blocks of the world, or preparing your tax return on turbo tax, you MUST have a copy of the prior year when you're preparing the current year to determine whether you received an income tax benefit for those state taxes paid. some fly-by-night idiot will just make you pay tax on 100% of the state refund without doing the proper analysis. remember: you get what you pay for.

Because it's funny? I don't know, I was a little disgusted when I heard about it.

I'm good now, typing what I did and deleting made it all better.
This is me with any BBQ sauce. I don't care though because BBQ sauces are some of the best tasting stuff in the world so I take my lumps and keep going back.

Perhaps I should have just gone with the rum?
I'd agree with you, but it's Mellow Mushroom. No food there really is worth going back to in the first place. Oh well ... lesson probably not learned because I'll do it next trivia night anyways.

I used H&R block once, never again. It took three hours for them to file my taxes and they screwed it up. I ended up filing an amended return with my families accountant and got an extra $1100 back. They had the nerve to offer me their auditing package which my response to that was if you guys messed it up you are fixing it regardless. I have him do it now and this year I had a near perfect (in my mind) filing where I owed a whopping $43, $3 federal and $40 to the state. In my mind a perfect return would be $0 as you paid exactly what was needed.

Directv is irritating me big time. Watch live tv on your computer or iPad they say. I just tried to watch live tv on my computer at work and what does it say? You must be connected to the same network as your receiver! What is the point of that? If I'm at home I'll watch the show on my TV!! Ugh.

Shoot me a PM if you want to chat about it a bit Alez. You'd be surprised at how many people suffer from it but don't show it.
Hang in there... And if you haven't go chat with a doctor about it. I think most who think 'medicated' think comatose and it's just not the case, even if it's situational.
