tyrion Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 College will cost me far less. Grad school we will see. Defense funds, hopefully not. I'm close to $300,000 poorer but I believe my kids lives are richer a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvlgato Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Damn, I haven't even filed yet ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless1 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 ditto. hoping to file this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I would do it soon. When (if?) the federal government shuts down I doubt any refunds will be going anywhere. I'm just glad to get it before that, if they had not passed that bill on Wed it would be a ghost town around here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I am currently on hold with Bank of America to dispute a $1500 charge to my visa to HP Home Store, as if I'd ever buy anything from HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) from my experiences with bank of america with 4 disputes including one amounting to $890 in identity theft charges (money spent on a adult entertainment site) they took care of it immediately. i had to fill out a piece of paper saying i didnt make those purchases and they refunded the money immediately. 3 disputes were for cheap stuff ($50 calling card, $75 ebay purchase, $300 ipod from apple) comparatively. no problems happened there. with the $890 issue, a credit collection agency came after me and i got the police involved eventually and a call from the police officer helping me got the credit collection agency off my back immediately. wachovia held me responsible for a $22 charge i did not make. refused to cover it even though i didnt make. should be obvious which institution i bank with now.

grawk Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 yah, it's already taken care of, I just have to sign a form and get my new card whenever it gets here. Kind of a pain, but it's not my only card, so not a huge deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 That is a PITA Dan. My taxes aren't too bad but I always owe some small amount so I procrastinate. The biggest pain for me is when I am on a panel at a certain government agency in Arlington... for some reason unknown to me, they always reimburse expenses as income... and then you gotta do paperwork if you don't want to pay taxes on it. At least I don't have to fill out state income tax forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 About a block away from the office on the way home saw a woman trip and fall and smash her face on the sidewalk. Blood everywhere. She was 60 and with her husband and I called an ambulance right away. Fortunately, she was conscious and alert. The woman's daughter showed up after about 10 minutes and they decided to get up and head home. Ambulance arrived about 3 minutes later. I told the EMTs what happened and they took off. The sound of her head hitting the sidewalk is not easy to forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Eagle Rare, STAT! That's yucky, Dinny. Good of you to care and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks, Al, and excellent advice. I figured I'd want someone to do it for my mom. I even advised the husband to take a picture of the thing she tripped on (a crowd control gate). But I get it. She's hurt, scared, embarrassed (shouldn't be), and just wants to get out of there. Hope she's ok, but her family seemed smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 That's not advice, that's a prescription. I am a Juris Doctor, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
