Not sure if this is the right place to put this, as I actually didn't buy anything. But. . . . . we are signed up for USPS's service that e-mails you a picture of your mail for that day. Well the wife looked at today's mail, and saw there was something coming from the Treasury Department. She said, well we made a mistake on our taxes. We will either get a check or write one. (for a couple three years we had over paid by a few hundred dollars, and once we had underpaid) So I go the mail and we owe seven thousand and change in taxes. Seven hundred of it is interest and penalties. They didn't tell us what the mistake was, but we found it in less than a minute of looking at our copy of last years returns. I made $49K from pine trees, and we logged it right in the list to the left, but when we put in the column on the right, we dropped a digit, making it $4.9K. I don't mind paying the tax part of it, but I hate that it took them 11 months to find it, so we had the extra 700 bucks. We got the check written and will drop it off at the PO tomorrow.
It may be time for us to hire a pro. But this year there is no extra income, so it should be easy peasy. We will see.

not a fun purchase, but an essential replacement.
