This weekend I find myself reverting to my Catholic school years.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and on April 15.

1. Your prayers were heard. I just got back from my tax preparer and I owe

no taxes this year for the first time in my life.

[okasha]

2. I'm going to owe.

It's damage control I'm praying for at this point.

[Cleita]

3. I'm sorry.

I hope it's not devastating.

[okasha]

4. Thanks.

It shouldn't be. Just unpleasant.

5. Lol. I approach my taxes with dread, but this year

I am getting a refund....

(and a new stove!!).

6. April 15 is my birthday.

It's also the day the Titanic sank and Abraham Lincoln died.

7. OMG! Did anything good, other you being born, ever happen on this day?

[pinto]

8. Yet, you share a birthday with a lot of actors, artists, musicians, poets, etc. Creative types.

Have a good one!

9. One of my cousins was born as Pearl Harbor was being attacked by the Japanese.

My mom called it two national disasters in one day.

Edited to add: got my return into the mail at 4:45 yesterday, then helped a friend do hers. I feel kind of like Atlas after the shrug.

10. My mother was born on December 7th,

just way earlier than Pearl Harbor. It was an inside joke in the family and one time my next-oldest brother arranged for flowers to be delivered on her birthday, with the note "Happy Pearl Harbor Day."

The delivery person said to her when he handed them over, "I'm sorry for your loss." We thought it was funny at the time, but he had no idea what it meant. So, I feel a little sorry for him that he misinterpreted it, but maybe he would have laughed had he known the truth behind the note
