Yes, tax preparation costs can be written off. We do every year.

I'm not saying they are bad, just sucks with kids getting sick all the time.
Same with our kids and us too, we hardly ever get sick. Of course, we aren't germ-a-phobes either. IMO too much hand washing/sanitizing is a bad thing. Doesn't give the immune system a chance to build itself up.

I thought so. Seems like a decent deal to me.

About $4100 over 20 years.

But.................If you order from them, MAKE SURE you mention the web site Tousley Ford Parts Depot for internet pricing.

They come out to $64.98 with the special internet pricing. MUCH more palatable IMO. This is $23 CHEAPER than the USED ones I found on Ebay(shipping included)...............
That's just stupid though. Why should it cost me double for walking in their door if I don't happen to know about their "special internet price"? Easier for them if I am right there.

I agree on the whole hand washing and sanatizing to excess. I don't eat right after pooping without washing but I don't go crazy with washing before I eat if I have just been doing normal activities. I don't worry about bathroom door handles like some people I know. And I am probably the least sick person I have ever met.

Well, it works if you walk in the door too, just remember to mention the website

I asked about that before getting off the phone with them.

Same here,though I have been know to eat lunch while at work with dirt and grease all over my hands, no place or means to wash up sometimes. Hasn't killed me yet.............

I do the same thing Mike. I do work in the garage and then eat with dirty hands. Even with the means to wash up right there. And I know this is a bad habit but I chew my fingernails and none of that has killed me either.

Apparently.
Seems a lot of the people in this country are enamored with "celebrities". I could care less what they do. If you are an actor/actress, athlete, etc. do your job and keep your opinions to yourself. I DON"T CARE what you believe in/think. If you are broke, too damn bad. You have made more money in one year than most will make in 10 lifetimes. If you weren't smart enough to save any of it, too damn bad for you. Get a job at McD's, BK or Walmart then.......

Yeah, been doing that for a long time.

No nail chewing here, gave that up many, many years ago.

It's not that expensive and this year ought to be cheaper since there is no self employment to worry about.
Good morning Michael! Always nice to get something back on taxes.

Yeah I am not the least bit worried about the excess sanitizing stuff either. I have managed to live this long with out to much trouble.

I wish I could. Almost like an addiction now. I am getting shaky just thinking about stopping...

How about the starts that feel the need to tell us they were abused? That is terrible but who cares!? Keep it to yourself! Tell your therapist. Just don't tell me.

Exactly and while living in a multi million dollar home he can't afford. Then sell it and pay off your debt and all is good!
