TAX TIME IS TAXING! (ME)+---------

.....hI ONCE AGAIN...it took me a good part of my days to do my tax return. I decided to let Turbo Tax help me. They did a good job and submitted my return electronically. Shortly after that, my return was accepted by the IRS. They had an easy time of it. I'm not Donald Trump. It seems like only yesterday that I was blogging about Hillary and Obama.  ( Attributed the title of this posting to me because JR likes attribution.) He's right. Except when a quote is allowed due to poets' license--and I'm a poet!


.....Now, since you are all eligible for Social Security--or soon will be--I read somewhere, perhaps Time Mag., that you get the most money when you are 70.  Me? I took it right away.  Thus I will not advise you one way or the other. If you decide to wait, join AARP and read the articles as though you were waiting for a bus.  So far I've learned that the older you get, the more doctors you will need for any part of your body--and they will get the money that you should have gotten if you take your Soch early.  Speaking of Social Security, I have heard Bernie make a few speeches and if he's 78 if a day, he gets so excited that he may drop dead before he's done with his Socialist Shpeel. Then who will take his place?


.....I can't believe that I was posting on this blog ever since Hillary and Obama were duking it out.  But this time keeping track of the delegate numbers each of the current candidates carries and prepares to have a heart attack if they are not chosen to run for President is much more fun. (Is that a complete sentence?) OK, so maybe it's not complete, but I myself am close to complete so who cares about sentences. And to think that I was a student of comparative linguistics at Columbia. I suspect that my 
British cousin will chew me out for such carelessness. But which of my readers can run a debate about morphemes and phonemes, huh? Anyway Trump is my man! (though I don't plan to vote for him) I'm a Democrat. and why doesn't Bernie get the hell out of the way. A Jewish president? And 78 to boot.

    The sentence is complete, dear Cuz, but possibly rather cumbersome and inelegant, and that's why you got worried about it. In particular, its combination of formal and vernacular English renders understanding its meaning difficult. I keep telling everyone that being very attentive to ones English is the way to clarity not obscurity. Very few people believe me, but YOU will, won't you, Baron dear?
    Er...with regard to the substantive content of this blogpost, sorry, no comment. As I have frequently told all you Yanks, I'M A BUSY GIRL AND CANNOT SPEND TIME DOING A LOT OF READING AND THINKING ABOUT ANY USA INTERNAL MATTER IN WHICH I HAVE NO VOTE!!!! ARE YOU LISTENING, MR. PRESIDENT? ARE YOU LISTENING, CONGRESSMEN AND WOMEN, AND REPRESENTATIVES????? Cuz Ruth
