It's That Time of the Month...

Yes. That time. Shut up. Guys have cycles, too, you know. Mine happens to fall right around the 20th. I get all depressed and don't want to do anything. I feel worthless. I don't feel like getting dressed or showering. And I start feeling like I have nothing to contribute to Xanga. Hence yesterdays post (in hindsight), and hence my feeling of being abandoned when it got one comment...

But ignore that, because I only feel that way once a month. And I know you all care. And I know you read. And I know Internet Video Tuesday isn't a hit around here...because who has 4 minutes to sit around watching a video they don't even care about?

This morning I had to peel myself out of bed.

And again, I feel like I have nothing to contribute. BUT!

I have some questions for anyone who lives in Illinois and filed a tax return: Have you gotten a check back yet? Did you file electronically? Did you do direct deposit?

Robb and I both sent in our forms. Mine is supposed to be direct deposit, and his is coming as a check. Neither of us have seen them yet, and we sent them waaaay back when. So...is that typical? Has no one received any money from IL because we're broke? Or is it just us?

Look this up on the web. You are NOT going to like what you see. The State of IL is broke and is not sending out the returns. It isn't as bad as CA which is sending out IOUs but at least there you get 3+% interest. We got our Fed return last week (we filed in March) but no Illinois. After 120 days you can start to ask what happened. They ignore you for the first 120 days. There is an article (maybe Chicago Trib?) that outlines what to do if the deadbeat state doesn't pay up.

Too bad I can't vote in this state anymore. Time to clean house... pun intended.

It's so true. Guys do have hormonal cycles. Because we're human, and slaves to the chemicals that course through our veins and through our brains. It sucks. Sigh. Rantrantrant.

That really sucks about IL returns. You should come to MN.

Or maybe we should both just move somewhere else...like...Arizona...or...something.
