Sorry damselle! I have a CPA that does all that for me because I just can't stand dealing with it myself. I have too much other stuff in my head all the time to make room for anything more. Lol

Dam, is anything different from last year? Did you owe that much last year? It sounds like you probably left off some deductions.

Yes, I'm quite stubborn about these things and insist on doing it myself now. When my grandmother died I hired an accountant to help me with the taxes because all the various investments she had made things too complicated for me. the estate didn't settle until the following year. I went to this accountant again and she ignored the KXXX form I gave her to amend my stuff. She ignored it, unbenounced to me and I ended up in trouble with the IRS for $5,000. I went back to the accountant and asked her to make good on the penalties and extra charges. She agreed on the penalties, but wanted me to pay her to fix the problem. I declined. and she told me "OK, I'll do it, but then you never come back here again"! as though I would....

So In answer to your question Reidus, I usually get back 1-2 thousand. Something wrong. I'll have to find it. Initially, Turbo was saying I owed 3 thousand...then I found that when I put in that I got $98 back from the state, their program changed that to $9800! took me a while to find it.

Anyway, this will have to wait until next weekend because I can't afford to spend anymore time on it. I have stuff due for school. Which I apparently can't use as a tax deduction anymore :mad:

Hey Damselle,
I am not sure what you are trying to print since I've never used that program before, but the PrtSc button on your keyboard will allow you to take a picture of what is on the screen at any given time, and you could always print that...

Good Morning TrippyTips collectors!

oh thanks Bert, but their program won't let you view the return until you pay, and I wasn't going to pay them for a return that says I owe $3000! I'll just do it myself....

Good Morning Trippyville,

Hey Sashwa, thanks for the thoughts as usual. My Sister and BIL are in Livermore so not sure if there's a better alternative. The wife and I came into San Jose I believe when my previous employer sent us out and marveled at walking on the tarmac. Not sure I'd want Mom out in the elements during the Winter but then that was like 15 or 20 years ago. :D

Some amazing late night pics that I unfortunetly missed unti just moments ago. Great Job Bert....Keep'em comin' Brew

Mrs. Brew says that almost every non-stop seems to be to SFO. However, I will look into Oakland myself as my Internet Search-Ninja skills seem to be a bit more practiced. I appreciate the advice. :2cool: Brew


Can they get her a non-stop flight out of Oakland? That would be way easier and closer to them.

On FB there has been a discussion on how to keep your wire for rebuildable's from going everywhere and someone thought of a fly fishing bobbin. Seems like a great idea. So I googled how to make one and came up with this vid . Thought I would pass the idea along.


Fixed it for ya :)

Hey all you RBA/ihybrid/Gennie lovers!
Well it seems I have a dilemma that I hope one or several of my TrippyKin can help out with regarding RBAs or perhaps Hybrids. I've been a REO guy for 2 of my 2.5 years vaping but I continue to be searching for the flavor I want. The HH.357 was from time to time close but it was very inconsistent. I also couldn't tolerate the price. I have since purchased a couple ERAs and Hornets but find those to be leaky and I'm also debating how well they REALLY work without regulated power. My REO 3.7V PVs with ERAs/Hornets are hit-n-miss in the flavor department. I also have to wrap them with different wire and less wraps to get a satisfying vape when compared to my regulated VV REO Grand. On the VV Grand, the ERA is nigh perfect and I find the coil and wicks to last for every bit of a month. The 3.7V setups might last a week or two tops and flavor drops of fairly quickly (~ 1 week). I'm using 32AWG or 30AWG Kanthal A-1 with 2mm or 3mm silica wick. I'm fairly certain that my wrapping skills are adequate and all of my wicks and coils are setup identically except for the resistance factor. The flavor and vapor on the regulated mods is what I'm trying to replicate in my "go to" 3.7V devices but I'm considering other RBAs or platforms for my "go to" option. I really haven't wanted to go with a VV Grand for out and about in that my days away from the house often go 10-12 hours and I'd prefer not to change battery pairs until I get back home. I do carry a spare 18650 battery and a 510 atty for the Grand everywhere it goes. A REO mini 14500 also accompanies for total Grand loss or meltdown. But the VV Grand is not a small mod and these days the vaping environment around Indy is getting more and more restrictive. Stealthy size and appearence is important but vape time is still an issue. The Code Enforcement Nazis are scaring the pub, club and restaurateurs to make vapers go outside. A Mini REO 2.0 (18500) with regulated wattage or voltage might be the ideal platform but the ERA/Hornet still leaks due to the cap air hole and I also question if the RBA on any REO is the best flavor one can have in ANY platform?

So I have the following questions to resolve and trust the folks here with having a good amount of experience and trustworthy advise:

• Is there a better REO-compatible RBA out there regardless of price high (e.g. MB Chalice) or low (e.g. A7/Surface)?

• Has anyone who has tried the REO with an RBA also using a Genesis or iHybrid that feels the flavor is worlds better that the REO/RBA or HH.357 ideal operation? I really like the idea of Bert's capillary glass feed rods and wonder if that might be a much healthier alternative to Kanthal and silica.

• I am contemplating getting a Provari mini as a platform for using a top-fed Hornet with a staionary coil and easily-replaceable wick setup to serve as a e-liquid test tasting solution. Are there Genesis style atties that might offer a better solution to my search using the Provari as a base?

• I'm very sensitive to carto-induced taste so atty tanks are not going to be my thing. I really can't stand anything but Silica in my RBAs because of dulling flavor and poly/cotton fill taste. Are there any atty tanks that might make a better alternative.

So any advice offered will be greatly appreciated. I typically change flavors 3 - 4 times a day so multiple devices have always been my solution( i.e. Lazy). Coffees in the AM with my coffee, fruity sweet vapes through the day and cocktail flavored e-liquids at night like Mojitos or other tropical cocktails (e.g. Planters Punch, Hurricane, Rum Runner, etc). I would go to the respective forums for any of these devices but most are filled with fanboys and girls who don't look at technologies with a objective eye. I find the folks here do so I apologize in advance if I'm spamming this thread with non Trippy posts. On that note, the device would have to be Trippy-frienndly or that too would likely take it out of contention. Thanks in advance for all your help. Brew :confused: :oops:
