Well, I'm Screwed

I just finished filing my taxes for this year and I'm royally fucked. I figured I'd have to pay since I'd already determined that I'd have to pay in on federal this year, but after working up my state taxes, I'm majorly screwed. I have to pay in $130 in federal taxes (not bad) and $1160 in state taxes! To say that I'm less than amused at this moment would be an understatement. There's no way I can pay that. :angry:

I'm really bad at filing taxes, so my mom does them all for me. :)

But that really sucks. The gov't screws everyone over in the end. Even my friend from India had to file taxes (for her work study), and had so many problems with it because she didn't have a SSN. The gov't does anything to rip people off.

I know the reason it's so high -- I wait tables in a fine dining restaurant and made a boatload of money last year. However, servers only get paid an hourly 2.13 which is entirely used up to pay taxes during the year. The taxes required for the money I earned tipwise on paper (thank god I don't have to worry about what's *not* on paper) far exceeded the 2.13 wage resulting in an end-of-year tax deficit which I now have to pay. Federal taxes come out first followed by state and I only paid in $68 in state taxes last year (oddly, I've already paid in over $70 in state taxes this year :blink: ). I haven't received a paycheck from my job in over a year because it's all eaten up in taxes. I'm pretty muched screwed because I have a good job. :lol: So good, in fact, that yesterday I earned (waiting tables) the most money I've ever earned in one day in my entire life --- $366. It's not like I don't have the money to pay it (I do, in fact), but it would take every single dollar I have to my name at the moment.

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
