I'm NOT a tax accountant... I use TurboTax for my own. But still feel free to send your bank account info :ninja

 

[Panacea]

[Panacea]

I turbotax and drive, actually.

 

[rback33]

Reminds me of those crazy commercials about texting while driving ... I think they were in England? (probably wrong LOL)

..... those are some crazy ass commercials ... but for good reason ...

This one? There's a full length 5 minuite version as well

Some of the UK driving safety adverts are horrible to watch and they really stay with you. I can remember more road safety adverts than any others. THINK! really does a good job in that respect.

The one that really sticks with me is the 30mph one with the little girl

sad
Even sadder it really doesn't change anything with drunk/distracted/reckless driving.
People don't care.

I got a ticket for speeding (I have a wicked lead foot) and the driver's course did slow me down for a while but it wasn't long before I was back at it.

I drive safer now because I don't want to wreck my new car (how thoughtful).

 

[dancingpotato]

That advert is brutal and the think! ones always stick with me.

 

[Mercury]

This one?

YES! Those are so freak'n brutal, tragic, emotional ... but very effective.

... I can't even watch them ...

... I drive pretty damn cautious because all I can picture is hitting a car with a child in it ... don't think I would be able to live with myself if I was responsible for the death of another Human ... let alone, a child.

 

[Darrell]

Hey shit head, just a reminder. Stop texting and driving. :tooth

 

[dancingpotato]

If you get killed while you text and drive, it will be entirely your fault and I won't come to your funeral.

THat's how Darrell planned to get you to the states....

If you think it would take for you to die to get me over there, then you really have no idea...

Hey Shan.... is turbotax easy? how long does it take? Can any moron with pretty simple tax shit use it?... I am tax tarded...

I find it insanely easy... but I also have an insanely easy tax situation (no kids, no mortgage, no real assets)... so I just use the super basic online program. But if the more advanced programs they have available are just as easy to use, then I'd say it's awesome.

If you have specific tax questions I can *try* to help you navigate the literature... but with the caveat that I am not a tax specialist, and my knowledge is limited to a couple grad school courses & my CPA exam studies

 

[Natasha]

But you are still are on a phone

Yeah...but I tend to tune out people when they talk to me simply b/c I'm so used to having to be SO attentive while at work. By text I can scroll back and read something again if I don't remember it later in conversation. Plus I can reply at my own leisure.

And it's NOT the same thing.... You can read and reply as you see fit and are not trapped into talking back and forth if you don't want to be

Exactly.
