Moon, 'me' trying to get my taxes right is like a hog trying to stay clean.  
I'm in a never-ending battle, have been for years, one day they might just 
take it all (though my guy is trying to convince them that my offer, this 
time, is good enough).

  Sometimes, I think if you can just put them off and put them off until you 
die, would be the best angle.  And, I have paid a mountain of taxes over the 
years. I've almost certainly paid more than I actually owed.  It is all about 
blasted paperwork ....bobford
