Had to since I was clearly to blame for the first game with my morning of POS BANG.

i don't think we should even get on the bus to go from AA to EL, the game will be so lop-sided.  those poor kids will have PTSD after they get done in EL.  fortunately we don't have TV so we won't have to witness the carnage.  

bonus neg:  you are all physically unattractive and your respective mothers dress you funny.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Learned my lesson the hard way. Or not - been talking to a woman who is a State grad but she told me that her oldest son has converted her to a UM fan.  Sounds like a smart kid.

Have fun with taxes. I'm a CPA so hit me up with questions if you're stuck.

Had a few Sch F. Not that bad. Depreciation can be different - uses ADS lives but get to deduct almost everything and don't have to deal with 263A.

Brokers can kiss my ass this time of year.  Had two returns in the mailbox yesterday and got new IRA statements so luckily pulled them.  Then called client to pick return up at 3.  20 minutes later got two 1099s that broker said they wouldn't be getting anymore.

CPA during this time of year is its own negbang.  every.  day.  

my part of the taxes is downloading data and organizing records, so not that tough. i have a CPA that does the actual crunching.  you are gracious to offer assistance.  a man has to know his limitations and one of my many limitations is: don't do my own taxes.   

question:  can i depreciate livestock?   what happens when one of them wakes up dead, is that like bad debt write-off?  inventory loss?

Livestock can be depreciated but depreciable life depends on type.  Cattle - 5 years. Hogs - 3 years. Sheep - 5 years. Horse - depends on how old and what used for. Link has more detail.

If it's dead then it's useful life is at an end so I would say yeah you can write off the undepreciated value. Unless you turn the carcass into something else that might have some commercial value. Like turning a dead horse into meat that gets sold and ends up at S Quad like in my day.

Just asking for a timeout to say I feel bad for you. Hope you are recovering nicely and have found the true love(s) of your life. 

I am personally polyamorous as previously established and living with 17 beautiful women at last count. They come and go. . . 

(I'd ask everyone to bang me but I am good.)

Looks like this was directed at me but can't really tell by the Tron lines going up the board. If so don't feel bad for me. Never been happier. 17?!? Sorry but that sounds horrible to me. One is always way more than I want to deal with. Now that it's 0 life is so much simpler.

I am so worried about the leadership qualities of six feet tall selfless, spirited Spartan Tom Izzo. Our players should just stay at the dorm and order subs

Injuries, refs, home cooking . . . it is sooo in the bag for the Spartans.  At least we have the last football game in EL look back upon.

I was once told I look like Tom, Mr. 6’7”, flowing locks of silky hair, muscle-bound, Izzo. Yeah, deal with that you ugly mugs. I also raised a child that is currently choosing which institution to attend in the fall. One of which is none other than thee Michigan State University! Eat it - and yes neg away, please.

The worst part will be when NW upsets Purdue and we realize that if we hadn't shot 3 for 51 for threes against MSU we could be undisputed reg season champs.

there is literally no path to victory.  why bother watching? it's a foregone conclusion Izzo is going to out-coach JB, Z will foul out in 12 minutes, and Tillman will record a triple double (blocks, steals, rebounds).  i'll be surprised if michigan scores more than 45 points.

At the office on a Saturday. Can't wait to go home in time to watch hockey get swept out of the B1G by Minnesota and Sparties win the regular season championship. Today is the best.
