Of course, (e:leetee)! If we weren't so spur of the moment about it...

I had to google it; looks like a cool game. Lke scrabble, which i love. Is there room for another ocd-leaner next time?

They need something to do - considering they never close?

The one thing i like about working in Kenmore is how well the streets are cleaned. The service we hire to clean our sidewalks comes to us last, i think... once it's all been walked on and packed down.

IRS Free File: It’s fast. It’s safe. It’s free.
Category: taxes
Join the 30 million Americans who already have saved money by using IRS Free File, the free way to electronically prepare and e-file your federal tax return.

Free File does the hard work for you with brand-name software or online fillable forms, exclusively at IRS.gov. If you made $58,000 or less, you are eligible for a free tax software
product. If you made more than $58,000 or you are comfortable preparing your own tax return, you can use Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic versions of IRS paper forms. Free File is available starting January 14, 2011. Explore your options at
www.IRS.gov/freefile.

Free File is a partnership between the IRS and approximately 20 software providers. The software provides a step-by-step guide to get your taxes done quickly and accurately. It helps you get the tax breaks you are due, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. Providers use the latest technology to keep your tax information safe and secure.

You also can e-file for free, which means a fast refund and an electronic receipt from the IRS. Combine e-file with direct deposit and get a refund in as few as 10 days. Or, if you owe, you can file early and pay anytime before the April tax deadline through automatic withdrawal.

Free File software products are perfect for anyone looking for savings, for the first-time taxpayers seeking an easy introduction or for the experienced do-it-yourself filer. Free File
is for federal tax returns only, although some providers offer state tax preparation for free or for a fee.

Free File Fillable Forms is more basic and probably is best for people comfortable preparing their own tax return. It has no income limits; anyone can use it. However, it does not
support state tax returns.

IRS Free File. It’s fast. It’s safe. It’s free.

Man! I already have a university mandated webportal for my federal taxes. I have to do the state taxes by paper because of my special status here. Such a waste of paper. :/

Snow!

We got a decent amount of snow in this storm...

I'm unimpressed by ub's parking lot plowing, although the sidewalks are clear.

There is something so cool (cold even!) about all that piled up snow on chairs and tables - enough to overturn the chairs. :)

That's Barbara... she's a grad student at UB in some biology field.
