I can understand Elvis better now

Yes, as the title says, I can understand Elvis better now. Especially after this tax mess. He reportedly told The Colonel and his daddy, "Just give the government half of everything then we won't get in trouble." And pardon me, but as my beloved daddy would say, isn't that a helluva note? FIFTY PERCENT folks. That's about what it all adds up to. Thanks for all your advice on recouping and handling my accountant. My soon-to-be-ex-accountant that is. Poor old Elvis looks as befuddled as I feel, doesn't he?

Oh hell, it's ONLY money. Now, when I count my blessings, I am not living over in Israel or Lebanon or Iraq or Afghanistan. I'm not living in some oil sheik's harem either waiting on his sorry attention either. (laugh at this please). I'm not living where the tsunami just hit and I didn't take the cruise on Carnival where the ship turned on its side. (Now see, I don't do cruises because of this - think Poisiden (yeah it's misspelled too) Adventure and Titanic) No, I am blissfully camped out in my pjs with the power company outside thoughtfully trimming off limbs so my power doesn't go off. Isn't that nice of them? The dogs are sure appreciating it let me tell you. It's giving them something to bark about for weeks. My kitten is quite enjoying these dogs making fools of themselves howling. Oh, and David? Thanks for telling me that I had dueling songs going in here. I wasn't REALLY trying to drive you guys crazy. OK, I'm starving. I guess I better go back on the generic cereal now that the IRS has got me.
