The taxes are killing me. Well ok not exactly killing but they are driving me nuts!!! There are a lot of new things that I am learning in Missouri, one is that you need to pay a property tax if you own a car and woe to you if you are new in town, because they will make you run around for it. I just found out that I had to fill a form about my car and mail it in by this weekend. It does not stop with that apparently you can get cited in St. Louis for parking in the wrong direction in a metered parking space. I am still figuring out all the forms I need to fill for the federal and state taxes, and debating whether to go to H&R block who from experience know less that me about taxes.

That’s what I have now. I was going to make this post about my new pets 8 pairs of common gold fish. Alas they died today … I was going to use my artistic skills and landscape the tank using pebbles but apparently the fishes didn’t take kindly to the temperature changes caused but the pebble and decided to die within the hour. Hopefully my next set of fishes would be more stronger … like the fish I had in Florida. The fish in Florida, “Fishee” as it was known, was a survivor. It survived the first year with me changing the water only once. It was also a glutton just like me. It bloated from being 1 inch to around 5 to 6 inches and is currently in Mr. koshy’s house.

In other news, the after school program for slum kids has started in India. Ask me if you want more information.
