While driving home from a meeting, I was listening to a program on the radio - it was a call in your question to an expert type of program. Caller asked a question about a RMD, and the expert who was on talking about investments replied to the caller that she should contact a CPA for advice. Why is it that everyone thinks the only person who can answer questions about taxes is a CPA? How about instead: contact a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or other competent and qualified tax professional for advice? Thanks for listening to my rant....

I'm a Constant Pain in the Ass

MY MOST EMBARRASSING 'SENIOR MOMENT' Several days ago as I left a meeting at our church, I desperately gave myself a personal pat down. Iwas looking for my keys. They were not in my pockets. A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing. Suddenly I realized that I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition. My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. Her theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the doors of the church, I came to a terrifying conclusion. Her theory was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately call the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all. “Honey,” I stammered. (I always call her “honey” in times like these.) “I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.” There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice, “Ken,” she barked, “I dropped you off!” Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.” She retorted, “I will ... as soon as I convince this policeman that I have not stolen your car!”

Rita I knew where you were at, I didn't realize you hadn't seen "Search the Communities". - Control + the mouse wheel is your friend. I've had the (un)"Official" community site's font blown up about 4 knotches for so long, I had forget how hard it was to read at the default size. BTW, I will always consider THIS the Official community. (Though it is nice to have Kamman back at the "other" place.) Jim
