Tax Rant

thinkthrice's picture

As you may know, NYS CS goes to age 21, period.  On the state income tax form they have a teensy speck of a crumb for NCP (most biodads) that pay CS in full.   Well the credit only goes to when the skid turns 18!  IT-209 is a rip off as it is.... basically a pat on the head for dutifully being extorted the entire year.  Not making the "credit" go up to age 21 is ridiculous!

I Survived!

The 10 day road trip with Chef for the most part went well.  Other than Chef's big tantrum in the beginning on the actual Mardi Gras.   He admitted he was gassed and he asked me if I had a hangover the next day which was sheer projection.

I said I did not.  He calmed down after that.  Got angry a few days later because I put ice directly into a cooler instead of bags of ice.  Sorry but my family always put the ice directly into the cooler not leave it in bags.

As Predicted

Chef had a tantrum.   We were at a Mardi Gras parade and we went to a bar for a few drinks.   Chef claims that I "got drunk, said mean stuff and was hitting him."  Um no.  He had just finished listening to a Bill Burr routine about women hitting men the day before and some how projected it onto me.  Somehow I was managing to catch lots of beads with my left hand (I'm very right handed) so I was definitely not drunk!

Somehow we got on the topic of bad behavior as a kid.

Wish me luck!

I'm going on a ten day road trip with Chef!  Usually something doesn't go to plan that is beyond my control and he will blame me for it. 

Hell sometimes something goes wrong that he specifically CAUSED and he will blame me for it!

Will be like riding with a giant toddler.  Give me strength.  He has yet another burned out house rehab  project lined up for next year so he'll be obsessed with that and the one he is working on now.  YIKES!

Who Does This?

Posts EXTREMELY unflattering photos of themselves on social media?  Occasionally I stalk the feral's social media posts because I'm still trying to casually figure out if the HousesHitter YSS20, has moved out of mommykin's house.  Which would be the FINAL emancipation event and no more CS (CS goes to 21 here).

I must preface this by saying that Chef's feral's are extremely unattractive with the small exception of SD who looks the most like Chef.  The boys are bone ugly Girhippo through-and-through.

Whose BM is this?

Once in awhile Chef and I visit a local watering hole near our rental property.  Apparently it has been bought out by nrw owners-- partners.  The new bartender was EXTREMELY loud, baudy with intimate, pornographic details of her stripper past and sex life.  To the point where it was downright embarrassing even for Chef who is a heavy duty construction worker.

 Probably early forties, bleached blonde but with a heavy smokers voice. Going over the top for tips "Honey" "Sweetie" etc.  Truly awful.  Reminded me of some of the BMs on this forum like "Meth Mouth" etc.

I am on a few landlord forums and one account from CA sounded a lot like LI and SkunkApe.  Lots of entitlement out there!

"One of my tenants just learned her rent has been optional during the pandemic, so says the News. She informed me that at 49, she's done with working for a paycheck, then having to spend it all for things like rent.

Who Knew Guilty Daddy Carried Over

To pets!   We have two cats now (the Siamese Snowshoe reverted to barn cat feraldom this past late July).  We have a female Bengal who is overweight and a male DSH who is having 3rd eyelid issues in one eye. I bought the Bengal a food puzzle a she tends to eat when she is bored or nervous. 

She grazes all day long.  Chef saw the food puzzle and immediately demanded I put the bowl back just as she was starting to "get" the puzzle. 

Good Thing I Didn't Have Waterford Crystal

Now that I have taken over the kitchen I am seeing a lot of fall out.  Of course it would have been MUCH worse had the ferals not PASed out when they did.   

As I reorganized alphabetically my spice drawer, I go to look for my, granted knockoff,  Le Creuset dutch oven and there are CHIPS in the enamel, obviously from abuse.   Fortunately I found a real one on Craigslist so we will still be having etouffee tonight.  

I wonder how many more surprises there will be?  

One More Year

Until the last of the three ferals age out at 21(NYS CS laws suck) 

The PI route went nowhere as the PI lost his wife and hasn't worked since.   We have no idea if YSS actually moved into the Gir's new downsized house back in May.  99% sure the Gir thinks we don't know she moved. 

YSS does have a job and is not a position that is part time (manufacturing at a glass factory).

The longest year.
