A Little Bit of This & a Little Bit of That

21 07 2008

Isn’t there a song with that title?  This post is a mishmash of things…

Recipes- Be sure to check out my recipes page every now & then.  I am slow to post new things there but what I do post is some of our “tried & true” family favorites.  I have a new one today that takes advantage of fresh zucchini & tomato that is readily available right now.

Laundry Post-  I really had fun with that one.  Be sure to click on my laundry post & see the comment my sister-in-law (Supermom) left.  I sure hope no one took us too seriously there.  I really do hope to see new comments from her.  We have too much fun sometimes!

Stimulus Payment- Word of Caution!!!-This could really be a post in & of itself but I will summarize here.  If you or someone you know have not received the stimulus payment & find that the reason given is an “invalid SSN” this may be because a name listed on the 2007 tax form may not match up with what is listed with Social Security.  My last name is hyphenated (I am not a women’s libber, it was a goof up of communication when my husband went to change my name when we married :  ) ).  In my tax form, our accountant did not, nor has he ever, hyphenated my last name.  We did ask him about this & he felt sure it would not matter.  Well it did matter, at least this time.

When filing taxes, IRS only matches up the name with the primary filer but with the stimulus payment they checked all names listed on each 2007 tax form.  This disqualified us for the stimulus check because my last name was not hyphenated on our tax form.  We did find out, however, that next year we may be able to recover our payment when filing our taxes, though the woman we spoke with at IRS was not totally sure of that.  

Vacation- We just came back from vacation & had a great time at Jekyll Island!  I have never been there but found it to be quite lovely!  Hopefully I will have pictures & description in the next day or two!
