...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...*Runs around, waving my hands in the air*

...I am DOOMED AGAIN!!!   :o   The IRS is AFTER ME!!!!    :P

...I got a formal letter, saying that there were problems with my 2020 Tax Return...and they were assessing ME... :-[

...$6.39... :o

...If I were in my younger days, and in good health...I would file an appeal...and bring out my experience and knowledge of Tax Law...and my Trial Attorney skills...and have some fun.  After 6 months, I would probably lose, and write a check for $10.74...as I was explaining to the Tax Court Judge that I really shouldn't be doing some time in the Federal Prison.   :P

...I will just write out a check for $6.39, and send it in...but feel comforted.  The U.S. Govt is certainly watching over it's finances.  (Although, think of the expense to the Gov't to check my return, find a problem, send out the assessment, and process it when they get my check.  But, Biden will crow when He hears that I gave in.   ::) )

...S.F. Cable Cars... :)

...They are a lot of fun to ride.  I always stood on the side, holding onto a rail...but I was very healthy, and had good balance.  The part I hated, was standing in a VERY long line at Market Street, and waiting for 20-30 minutes to get on a car.  But, a middle aged Black Man showed me how to get on a car very quickly.

...I had arrived at the end of the line, and groaned with frustration...it would be a LONG WAIT!!!   :P

...A Black Man came up to me, and said, "I can show you how to get on the car more quickly."  I looked him over, he was clean, and dressed fairly well, and so I said..."OK". (I would have carefully looked over any man of ANY race who made such an offer to me, I was a fairly attractive young woman back then, and was alone) He led me up the road that the cable car was running, and spoke of minor matters, and I relaxed.  We stopped after walking three blocks, and he said, "The car stops here, and you can get right on."  There were a few people standing nearby, and there was a sign that had a picture of a cable car on it.

...The cable car did stop, and there was room to get on.  I handed my 'Guide' $2.00 as a voluntary "Guiding Fee", thanked him, and got on the car, and rode it to the end.   ;D  So, whenever I needed to ride a cable car, I would walk to the 1st stop, and climb on right away.   ;D

...So, if any of you are going to visit S.F.  that is a tip.   :)

...Ordering off of the menu...  ;)

...I was in S.F., taking depositions...they went on all week.   :P

...The last day, I staggered back to my Hotel, exhausted and frustrated.  The case had gotten more complex, and perplexing.  I wrote up notes, and then laid on my bed, letting my mind process what I had heard...and getting more frustrated.  I had thought that I had the other side in a corner...but I would have to do more work.   :o   I just laid on the bed for a while, and then got up, cleaned myself up and put on my 'night evening' makeup, and went to the dining room.

...I was escorted to a small table, and handed a menu.  I looked at the items...but my mind was too unfocused...I was thinking about the damn case!!!!  A waiter came over a couple times, and I just said that I hadn't decided.  I then made up my mind, and told the waiter...

..."You decide, I have no food allergies, and I like seafood."

...I was then served one of the BEST MEALS I have ever had!!! ;D

...He brought me a nice assortment of dishes, one after the other...there was just one item on each one...I think that the Chef was having fun...the food was VERY good.  I gobbled it down, and sipped the wine that he brought me.

...I handed over my personal credit card for the meal...and handed the waiter a nice sum of cash.  I told the waiter, "Share this with the Chef, please."  He pulled back my chair, and I smiled at him as I walked back to my room.

...I suspect that the waiter and the Chef enjoyed that evening.  I did look cute back then, and I was eating whatever was set in front of me...and none of it was on the menu.   ;D

...I played in the pit orchestra for the semiprofessional performance in this musical.  I was a bit disruptive...I would go to the bar during the halftime...(I was still in H.S.)...I would tell them that I was in the Orchestra...and they would give me a large jar of orange juice. and some cups.  I would get back into the pit, and hand out the cups, and the jar.  We would drink it all down, and would have more energy for the second half.  I wasn't charged for the juice, or the cups.  I guess that my 'Natural Charm' worked...I was pretty cute back then, and knew how to use my talents.   ;D

...My private teacher was sitting 1st chair in the pit...I was sitting next to her...and she would laugh when I entered the pit...holding the large jar of orange juice...and cups...and I would pour one for her.  I would pour one for myself, and hand the jar to the violin section.    ;D

...When I pretended to have Lesbian tendicies... :o

...I was playing in the pit orchestra for Kismet, and at the beginning of the second act, a VERY lovely 'Belly Dancer' did a slow,  sensual dance across the stage, while the curtain was still down.  I was still in High School, and my private cello teacher was sitting beside me.  I memorized the part we were playing...and I just watched the dancer...my mouth open.  My teacher would tap me on my shoulder with her bow, or just tap the music...and growl.  She later told me...

..."I am a bit worried about you..."

...I just giggled...

...She was relieved when I invited her to my wedding...the groom was handsome

...Everyone, please don't see this post as looking down on gay people, I was the Student Social Director in college, and I produced the first Gay Dance, and gave funds to the Lesbian Clubs.  I had gay and lesbian friends, and loved them.

...And, I MARRIED a MALE...and birthed two kids.   ;D
