The Plnk Ranther Strikes Again

[JTB11 1,079]

i dunno how to use a dishwasher. i like scrubbing things by hand, that way i know for sure i'm getting rid of all the gunk.

oh no

I wonder if its all the ginger I put into smoothie or the uncooked beans I ate yesterday or the whole night talk I had with hubs - again..I talked but at least I got it all out in the open...again...maybe my bowels retain stress and now they let go

he was abandoned and a fosterer picked him up. they had to feed him milk with their fingers at first. he's growing much stronger now though.

Ah so he is too young. Yeah to another fostering success. I foster dogs for a group in Minnesota.

let it rip!

yeah...the little guy can't even meow yet, he just squeaks (hence pipsqueak). that's real decent of you to foster the dogs.

We did not have one either and I was the washer Now, I find it a little difficult to not wash by hand ....we use our dishwasher at my parent's house only when there is family get together aka 1 per year

Oh good about gnocchi, I was worried so now I know it should be easy i am more relaxed. Phew !

Ya dogs are good at eating everything. (like one of them ate 15 chocolate balls and threw up 3 times...entire balls since he did not chew them lol)

that sounds really good. mmm.

good morning thread !

2 hours of sleep, indigestion. This is going to be a loooong day.

I love the dishwasher, but everything goes in most clean. I rinse and scrub everything down, so the dishwasher is just removing grease and maybe some bits of stuff. I think the dishwasher is more a sanitizer than anything else in our house.

I feel for you on the sleep and indigestion. Hopefully you can catch a good nap and get over everything.

Oh the poor little guy. At least he was saved by some people that care.

I used to foster more dogs than I do now, but my wife gets too attached and we need a little break between them.

i am trying to figure out my taxes too. it's making me

remember - no USA taxes on you for 2013, as you two are not married anywhere on the planet in 2013.

See? One less thing to worry about.

SG taxes easy, meh.

Yeah, I'm working on SG taxes. Trying to figure out if I'm gonna have to pay non-resident rates (which seems likely for 2015). Gah.

We don't have reciprocity with Singapore?

Why are you worrying over 2015? Thats like two years away yet.

2015 is when we get taxed for 2014. HR is asking me to figure out whether I need to pay resident or non-resident rates for 2014 and 2015. I'm also trying to figure out the reciprocity thing, looks like I'll just have to pay whichever is higher. And with the non-resident tax rates for Singapore, it looks like Singapore might be higher?

I dunno, am I reading this wrong? Eff it I need an accountant lol.

I get it now. You call 2015 taxes your 2014 filing. Here we refer to it as 2014. Like right now people are beginning to do their 2013 taxes.

I suppose you've got partial taxes in Singapore and maybe a period of taxes in the USA if you get to working here this year. Fudge it, don't work in the USA until 2015, then just do resident taxes for your 2014 tax year. Maybe you do need a good accountant familiar with international taxation.

When are you coming?

6 May 2014. I think I will be a tax resident for the 2014 assessment (income earned in 2013) but not for the 2015 assessment (income for 2014) because I'll have been in Singapore for less than 183 days (I'm at 126 days or so). I am gonna look into that accountant thing now...
