when the stock market is up I react that way... also, flipped my VM outgoing message saying I cannot take any new clients this but I can file an extension for you. 

I tend to soothe my nerves with Dove chocolate.  Doesn't everybody do that?

Dove chocolate, Hershey chocolate, Ghirardelli chocolate.....any brand will do.

Dark chocolate preferably

I prefer the regular Dove, but that is so smooth, I tend to gobble it down too fast.  I can stretch out the Dove dark longer, so sometimes it is the better choice.

thought of our friend @rcooley25 while at the grocery store.. found it kind of funny to see this there.. I never heard the term fireball until this board 

I think our friend Mr Fireball goes through a party bucket every morning for breakfast.  

been swamped today also - phone calls, clients stopping in, etc - it makes the day go faster, but it slows down how many returns one can complete.

Mondays are always a zoo during tax season.  Clients had the whole weekend to think up stupid questions to call and ask when Monday rolls around.

With all that money, you can buy new pajama pants! 

This thread really got me thinking.  I like my Fireball straight.  No soda, no water, no gimmicks, just straight.  And a shot of Fireball is never enough so I bought bigger shot glasses on Amazon.  But I am intriqued about the possibility of having chocolate with my Fireball.  I think I am going try it with both dark chocolate and milk chocolate and see if I like either.

I will consider this a science experiment.  The ideas you get from this board are amazing!

@Frustrated-in-IL    I'm a BIG fan of chocolate so let me know how your experiment goes.  May need to go purchase some Fireball if it's a success.   

Yesterday was a good money day. I might just buy two new pair of pajama pants. Had a client that stiffed me in 2022 for the 2021 tax return prep fee. Of course, client didn't return in 2023.  Lo and behold, client stopped in with 2022 and 2023 tax papers. Paid for all three years in cash....yeah!

Paid in cash?  So technically that was more like a gift than taxable income?

     yeah, sure.....sounds reasonable
