tax induced dying gurgles....

[Michelle]

Taxes can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.  Yes, it 
entirely sucks to be an American who has to pay taxes out of an 
already not so great paycheck.  But because my pay check isn't 
fabulous, I always get a tax refund.  So I manage to live my life 
without the money they are taking out every 2 weeks, and once a year, 
I get a neat little check for $1200.  

So yeah, taxes suck, and filling out the paperwork really sucks ... 
unless you get the really awesome tax software my ex-roomie has where 
you just fill in the numbers and it tells you what you need and fills 
out the right forms for you ... but you get a neat present :)

Zealand visiting family she hasn't seen in 17 years! :)
