When I was in college many years ago, the Nation of Islam (Black Muslims) tried to get me to join them. I told them that I was cool in believing in God, but giving up Pork and White women would be hard for me to give up! :)
I have a problem with religions that dont allow me like everyone, and I can handle fasting sometimes, but I could never not like an entire group of ppl, nor could I give up bacon, or meat in general
Oh goodness, you are ONE busy person. I was a VITA rep when I served in the Army. I remember those long nights before tax deadline. I just do my own taxes, but my wife and I did consider going to someone like yourself because we purchased a new home in June. I'm ready for those deductions! Yippie! :)
IAM perpetual motion. Being that u just purchased it in June u may not have enough interest paid this year, tho next yr after having a full yr under ur belt and prop taxes and ur plates fer ur vehicles and donations u should. The standard deduction this yr for a married couple is $11,600. so if u dont have deductions more than that it wont benefit you. Theres ur tax tip for the day. Congratulations on ur new purchase, and thank you for serving our country =)
Thanks so much for your advice! Yes, my wife and I are very happy with our new home. We live in Northern Virginia (Fairfax County). It's a great community and that is what made our mind up. Besides, most of us either work for the Federal Government or support it so many of us have something in common. I've only been in MI a few times. I'd love to see a Michagan college football game (Go Big Blue!). My parents currently live in Illinois so when those two school plays, watch out! :)
although, I enjoy eating sausage when I have a sore throat.
