I think I will stop griping about the "stimulus", "bailout", "giveaway", or anything you want to call the rat. Obama doesn't have a clue about economic matters and none of his cabinet or staff seems to either. If his advisers are telling him this is what needs to be done, they are full of B.S. too. Same for Congress. Maybe I am wrong and I am the one whom doesn't comprehend the crisis, and I for darn sure am not an educated economist, but I trust my own eyes and ears a lot more than those of any politician.

I am still feeling terrible from the RA, but not quite as badly as I was. Over the years, I have learned to live with much pain, but this soreness all over my delicate, young body is wearing me to a frazzle. Nothing lasts forever, 'though.

Still springlike weather here, mild, cloudy, and windy; the heavy winds are a sure sign the season is trying to change. Still haven't seen a robin, but Maggie has some at her home, and she also had snowdrops blooming a couple weeks back.

I do income taxes for family members using TaxAct software, and usually the tax codes change once or twice during the filing season, but they have already changed four times in the first month this year. It is mostly clarifications, but I am wondering about the impact the stimulus package will have. If you have already filed, and if you qualify for any of those big tax breaks, and if they are retro-active, will you have to file again? Of ... by... and for ...! Phooey!

Hi
Hope the soreness retreats with the sun and signs of spring.
Actually, our robins stay all year. In the winter they love the berries on the firethorn trees and other fruit. I don't see them at the bird feeders. I must research this and find out what to feed them. Our robins are huge... they are probably on steroids.
Not to brag or anything but I spied my first wee crocus popping up from under the mulch today. Our town has a 'bloom count' at the end of February! And really, we do have lots of things blooming. My little outdoor cyclamen is blooming like crazy.
The taxes sound like a nightmare. I dread having to file mine, but once into doing it up, its not really all that bad.
There is something about returning robins and spring being so closely tied together. If they were here year round, I probably wouldn't pay them much attention until they began singing.
I know they like pieces of fruit to eat, especially apples. They will also eat raisins.
They may be big because they don't have to fly hundreds or thousands of miles each winter, or they may have some extra down feathers for those long cold nights. Probably steroids though. Pumping iron.
If it should stay warm/mild here, we should have crocus up in a few days.
Be glad you have no employees and the US tax code to fool with! :-)
Well I have already filed and have my money back. i can't afford to wait. Spring is hitting here as the pollen is getting out control.
WE will wait 'til 15th as usual. I will probably owe. :-(
Pollen messes with my sinus!
