Were you given a prescription to assist?

People expect you to call them and suggest things out of the blue? I guess we expect our accountant to do our taxes, answer our questions, suggest glaringly obvious things he might notice in the process of doing our taxes, help us if there is an issue with the various bureaucracies we encounter and otherwise leave us alone.

Is she at least giving out cars again?

Or can I Tom Cruise it and jump like an idiot on the chair?

Aw man, the clown prince of the Harlem Globetrotters. :(

"Meadowlark was the most sensational, awesome, incredible basketball player I’ve ever seen,” Wilt Chamberlain said in a television interview not long before he died in 1999. “People would say it would be Dr. J or even Jordan. For me, it would be Meadowlark Lemon.” - NYTimes

In the world of small business accounting you can lose clients by not calling and suggesting things out of the blue. It's silly, but some clients feel neglected if you don't do so. Most of our new clients site this as the main reason for changing accountants.

I spent some time doing tax for small businesses and am happy to be back with an international firm.

Well that's a head scratcher to me. We have our accountant because of our small business. I assume he's a busy guy and has better things to do than sit around wondering what he should suggest to us.

Totally separate thing:

There is a hyena in the house. Dental problem, though, nothing to do with me.

<Its kind of ugly.>

Yeah, some clients are like you. I much prefer those clients. That is one reason moving to the private sector is appealing. I'd then only have one "client" to deal with instead of 60 monthly clients and a few hundred annual ones.

That comes with its own issues though.

You do know my customers.

Presumably a movie hyena.

Hmmm, I never thought to ask.

Winter storm warning in effect here. We're supposed to see at least 6 inches starting right around the time I commute home.

Could see as much as a foot, but it looks like this area will be closer to 6-9 inches.

Told the wife to leave work early. Hopefully she'll listen, but she's a wife being given advice by her hubby, so...

But, making lemonade out of lemons, the boy bought a sled with one of his xmas gift cards, so I took him sledding for his first time. He loved it, of course. We were under-dressed for it, though, of course.

Though your boys were looking awfully shaky for that first quarter as well.

That's only because they are shaky.

The Vikes can play with a lead, but if they can't get things going early on, it can get ugly. Was a little concerned in the first quarter, too, but then Eli started distributing the ball to us with regularity and then we seemed to remember what the game plan was.

I have only purchased mine from PBK, usually get a discount coupon to get them down to about $35ish...however, I haven't had much lately and can only find them around $40, which seems to be about the going price everywhere. Which has me thinking of converting to tubeless. Vitorria now has a clincher version of the Corsa G (not the open corsa) which are supposed to be the cat's meow, but I can only find them for around $80.

That price of $56/ea sucks. The $39 advertised is for a 650c tire.

They're $79 for 2, with free tubes from merlin right now. Free shipping on 25c (just noticed!). So like $39/ea

https://www.merlincycles.com/contine...00c-71989.html

I was just thinking I had seen a link recently somewhere around $36/ea.

SpeshulEd 12-28-15 05:31 PM

I just found a set on Amazon for $39 as well, 700x25.

But I haven't seen them for $36 for a bit now. I'm down to one 23c.
