I just found out one of my friends in Scotland died. Her daughter (who was in her mid-30s) died three years ago. They were two of the nicest ladies I have ever met. That really left me feeling bummed out.

More or less finished doing my Federal Taxes today. I was glad to get that done, although there are still a few things I want to check. This is the first time I used the H&R Block software.
BUT
I am going to have to send the Feds around another TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Trying to decide if a diet of Pork n'Beans would be preferable or mac and cheese in a box would be better.....

Fed and state combined I had to send them $3000 and I thought that was bad. What ever happened to those days when I'd get a big fat refund.

I got slapped with a $3500 street maintenance assessment.

Discarded pizza boxes are an excellent source of cheese.
That seriously sucks.
You might want to try again with a different software package especially considering the size of your payment. I don't trust anything to do with them.

I did on more than one occasion refer to my son as the Tax Exemption.

I referred to ex as my tax deduction.
I also referred to as an Asian Jabba the Hut. I got witnesses.

The last new car we bought was 1999. Dodge Grand Caravan. Couldn't fit three car seats in the Saturn. The tax break never made up for the extra medical bills, food, school supplies, new clothes, etc.

Three grand a year tax break to raise my son? Jesus please us, seemed like he ate that fucking much ... in about four months.
We ain't talking insurance and all the other kit and kaboodle.

The only new car I've ever had belonged to the company. Mine were always used cars.
What makes me sad is losing someone close to me to dementia. The person is still there but also not.

"Previously owned" is the current moniker.

Mine is. Paid cash for it perfect for me and my four kids.

Agree entirely, Marcel. Dealing with these sorts of challenges with parents right now. Thankfully, none are at the dementia level but still they aren't the people they once were. They've lost the process to think through issues and problems, they can't remember things, they get angry and frustrated because they can't do things that once were easy.
The big lesson I've taken away from these experiences is that I need to do all I can to keep both my body AND my mind active. I fully accept that dementia may still hit me, regardless of what I do. However, I'm not going to make it easy for the bastard! I'm going to fight and fight and fight again to keep my limited set of wits functioning as long as I possibly can.
Forums like this one are a real help because the posts make me think about things, they encourage me to continue learning, and occasionally require me to pull together a cogent argument. All of that helps exercise my brain muscles. To all on the forum, please, PLEASE keep contributing so we can think and learn together.

A while back I was telling a guy at a amateur radio hamfest the baffling problem I had with fixing a Hewlett Packard signal generator. Funny thing was that if you took the power supply loose from the case it worked, but not when it was installed. Then I found that someone had put a screw in the wrong place in the power supply, causing the output to be shorted when it was in the case. The guy responded to me, "Working on that kind of thing will keep you from developing dementia."
Maybe so, but it might drive me to drink.
