And the anniversary will make them 20 years old together, if I have my secret data right.

No kidding! Iowa is no different- on our state return, you're better off if you file "Married Filing Separately On This Combined Return" instead of "Married Filing Jointly". This is the first year that we've not been able to claim at least one dependent, so I was apprehensive about the outcome. As it turns out, we owe Uncle Sam a bunch, but the state is still giving us a bunch back, resulting in a net of us owing $58.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Good afternoon folks! Trying to get rid of a sinus headache. Not succeeding very well, either. Puts me in a foul mood, and no one can stand to be around me for more than a couple of minutes.
I've made more chili for today. Have all three kinds: mild, medium, and five alarm. To go with the chili, there are grilled cheese sandwiches, fried bologna & cheese sandwiches, and we have some tacos and enchiladas left from last night.
I will try my best to stay in a good mood, and not take it out on anyone, either at home or here. Anxiously awaiting the mail delivery today: early anniversary present from the mutt: a new ski jacket. The one I have is about 12 years old, and it has seen a very hard life, as it doesn't quite keep me very warm on the sub-freezing days.

Mookie. Thanks for the Bday greetings. Answer to your question about complex state tax returns-I think it is a matter of the state politicians and bureaucrats trying to show that they are better at their job than the federal types.
-15 here at the moment. I have appointments from 10am today, so my nap time will be limited.

Belated Happy Happy to Jay.
Brian - I still have the malingering effects - it has now been with me since November. It is mostly just a dry cough and it is sneaky. When you least expect it....(hack hack)
Peeked in on Super Ball - wasn't much impressed with commercials. Bring back the Horses and football - get rid of the playstation 2 type commercials. Ugh. Animals with lips are passe. I never had them and - and - well all I can think of is it makes sipping hot coffee harder.
Did as Joe requested - kicked Willy and his too predictable weather machine. Think I got it to generate a little warmer weather. These things take time.
CW - how's SP? I bet she is keeping her own counsel. Usually with her feet tucked neatly under her while she observes the world. Has she started to talk yet? We waited quite a few years for the talking and then it became non-stop. (Wonder who she learned that from....)
Going by the fireplace - got wrapped up in the hammock last time and got dizzy trying to unwind it. Fell on my unmentionable.

Still waiting for this crud to go away- I must've caught it from mooks. I suppose it'll hang in there until the temps rise.

Nope - never been to London in my life. It actually comes from the same source that your avatar comes from - I have that pic in my collection too.
Mookie - I can't really understand you when you talk through your muffler like that.
Good COLD Monday morning, everyone! We are at 9 degrees, with a windchill of -10 to -12 out this morning. Yuck! Would the weather gods please bring us some warm temps, please?!?! I know people in Wyoming, Montana, and some places in Canada are much, much colder, but hey, we all need warmth.
Coffee is ready, juice is made and hot water is ready for hot tea and hot cocoa. Can also heat some milk for hot chocolate.
Condolences to all the Chicago Bears fans, and congratulations to all the Indianapolis Colts fans.
On the breakfast bar, you will find: turkey bacon, sausage patties, sausage links, scrambled eggs, biscuits, sausage gravy, hash browns, oatmeal, toast, grits.
Guess that's about it for right now. Everyone have a good morning, stay dry, warm and safe.
OK, enough counting for now. My head hurts.
I imagine the Super Bowl is progressing. Your team is either winning or losing (or is the game tied?). I'll read about it in the morning...
The lake effect is moving south, but not letting up. Portions of the Interstate that were closed earlier are finally mostly open.
It was a messy day - no serious accidents, but plenty of cars and trucks off the road, along with some fender benders. Two ambulances also went off the road - one carrying a woman in labor, and one that was on its way to take her the rest of the way to the hospital. Interestingly, in the same general area, another vehicle carrying another woman in labor gave up on the weather and pulled off the road to await an ambulance. The same ambulance (yet another rig) ended up taking both in, from what I could tell on the scanner.
Sure was nice here at the house...

I guess that means I was wrong too because I also said post 1,000 rather than reply 1,000. All I know is that this is way too complicated for a weekend.

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Datafever-
Eh, I really don't care myself. Back when the old diner thread reached 100,000, IIRC, I purposefully posted just prior to that that jhhtrainsplanes should get the honor of the next post, which everyone else apparently agreed with, since he actually did.
Okay, everyone, I hope you're enjoying all the food & snacks I've fixed for tonight. It includes just about everything you could possibly want to eat tonight. Joe, got a couple of large plates fixed for you to take to work tonight. They're in the fridge, with your name on them.
Jay, hope your birthday has been a good one, and will continue to be a very Happy birthday through this evening!! Many happy felicitations!!
Brian, I suspect that his previous post was merely gratuitous - his way of ensuring that he would beat everyone else to the 1000th post. Little did he know...
Personally, I think Willy should have gotten the 1000th post for his excellent weather skills.
Good point, df, I never thought about that, but you're right. That means that reply #999 is the 1000th post. Let's see, who's the lucky poster?
Railfan1! He also had the last post on the previous page.
