The Vent - Part 2

[Krikit 1,163]

mini vent...

we still have not gotten our tax refund.. our accountant said it would be direct deposited into our account in about 2 weeks but then that passed and I was reading that it can take up to 3 weeks but then that passed.. tomorrow will be 4 weeks....

if the money isn't there tomorrow, hubby said he was going to go talk to the accountant and see what is going on..

in slightly different news our car repair bill got paid off finally, no thanks to the refund .. my parents paid for half and the hubby got a really good check that covered the rest

Yay for paid off bills! Yay for really helpful parents! Boo to late tax refunds!

I just miss her so much

My fiancee came to Canada to visit me for 2 weeks. After 2 beautiful weeks and so much happiness being together again, today was the day she had to leave to go back home in USA. I drove her back to the airport, we checked in, then we kissed and hugged for about 15 minutes trying to comfort each other and trying not to cry, said goodbye and I came back home, I can still smell her perfume in my apartment, I miss her so much already, god it hurts being apart from my baby , god I love her so much

Awwwwwwww. We can totally relate. But like Jill says, the time will go by before you know it, and this will all be behind you. Hang in there.

Bah bah bah bah..

Need to stay focused for hubby

My body is rejecting the time difference and wants to sleep at 3am and get up at 6am.

The bags under my eyes are going to be at my chin.

You can use them to carry extra stuff on your flight back home!! Yeah, yeah. Bad joke. I know. How's the visit going, Cat?

Ok, I always thought that all of Canada was bilingual. I was in Montreal like 12 years ago, so my memory of it was a bit hazy. ####### is up with everywhere BUT Quebec having to be bilingual?

We got to Montreal just in time for the tail end of a riot there. Guess the people of Quebec are just naturally cranky

Oh boy. If this was the Off Topic forum I would be settling back with a bag of popcorn.

Only things I saw that were in English were the directions on some of the highway signs (North, South etc.). We were given wrong directions. It was funny on the train. As soon as we passed through the Ontario/Quebec border, suddenly the announcements were only in french, and the attendants stopped speaking English. Oh well. The city looked nice, but the people were rude. I'm not going back there again if I can help it

Talk to Charles, I think he won Quebec on a Tims hortons roll up the rim to win cup!!

ok so we found out that there was a problem with our taxes.. something to do with the stimulus payment we got last year.. they accountant fiddled with some stuff and told us to call him back tomorrow to see if it went through...

[Flames9_RN 358]

We efiled our taxes and had direct deposit---We used Turbotax--and the federal $$ was in our acct in 11 days!! the State return took a bit longer. Hope he gets it settled out soonest

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah ours were e-filed and we did the direct deposit too..

I wasn't in there but hubby was saying that it had something to do with the amount of stimulus we claimed we got.. I didn't know we had to give the exact amount when we had originally done our taxes.. at the time the accountant didn't make it seem like the exact amount was terribly important

we have already been waiting for 4 weeks

ok I figured out where the accountant made his mistake.. he should have put $348 in the recovery rebate credit line.... he put $300
