We finished our taxes today, and the kids were around while we were doing it, and then we went out to the Olive Garden, since we didn't feel like cooking at 8PM when we finished the taxes. On the way home, we were talking about how much the meal cost (Jonathan has various data points on... (More)

Gardening

I've been mentioning my garden doings on Serina's blog and in private emails with her, and I thought I'd compile and post the relevant info here. March 15: Whoohoo! I just placed my order with fedco , and we’ve been preparing our squares out front. Jon just... (More)

News I Forgot to Mention

Speaking of news, I forgot to post here that the closing arguments for Judy's trial are scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll be heading to Pittsburgh to hang out with folks who will be there in her support. Of course, this might be the first time a scheduled meeting actually happened when it... (More)

Arizona Pictures

I guess we haven't written about Arizona yet, so that'll come later, but Heather posted the pictures today, but I hadn't gotten around to making the panoramic collection yet, so I just did that. For those of you snappy readers/watchers, you'll probably want to check out the pictures... (More)

Faith, 6 months

We skipped the four month appointment because we were in Switzerland, but six months came quickly enough. At 27.5" long and 16.8lb, she is 50% in weight but 95% in height! Dr.Anderson wondered if we weighed her correctly, but he said when he saw her he had no concerns about her... (More)

Stuff again

2/10 or earlier - Faith can transfer an item from one hand to the other. 2/10 - Jonathan, studying a penny, "This coin says 1 - 9 - 9 - 9. That's super long ago!" (I knew my kids would think anything before 2000 was ancient history.) Since coming home from... (More)

Recovery Rebate Calculator (AKA, Will the IRS Give Me Any More Money?)

The IRS hasn't published their calculator yet, and I have been reading about lots of people trying to figure out what to do with line 70 on their 1040 (ie. the famous RRC that is causing probably more time wasted than was worth the money that was sent out last year. So, I wrote a... (More)

House Work on Carroll Street

Heather and I spent several days over the last week at our old house, cleaning and fixing various things that our previous tenants broke. It is pretty annoying to have people totally not care about your property, and live in pretty disgusting conditions, presumably to get back at me for... (More)

Stuff

1/23 - Faith's matching lower tooth came in. It looks like she's teething again, maybe some top teeth on their way. She, like Noah my other early teether, is interested in solid foods already. Jonathan bought her (with his own money) some little cereal pieces, the kind that dissolve... (More)

Quotes from Jonathan

While looking at a dollar coin, Jonathan said, "I think it has a picture of Obama or something", (really, it's Andrew Jackson). "Switzerland laughs and American laughs are the same; only the language is different. I made my silly face at people in Switzerland, and they laughed like a... (More)

$0.01 Credit Card Charge and Cancelling a Card Due to "Low Use"

Mydad had mentioned a news article story a month ago about some company charging a whole bunch of people $.01 each on their credit cards; presumably with the thought that no one would complain about a $.01 charge, and since they charged a million people or something, they made a bunch of... (More)

Switzerland: Back to the USA (12 Jan 2009)

Very early in the morning, we got up, had breakfast and said goodbye to Sarah (all the other Dutlers said goodbye the night before.) Janet and Stephan came to pick us up and we crammed all ourselves and stuff into the mini-minivan. They took us to the Basel airport where we spent quite... (More)

Health Insurance Issues for the Self-Employed

I thought I had written about this before, but I can't find it, so maybe we just talked about it over email. We purchased health insurance through Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield when I first started working for myself. It was the same plan as we had when workingfor Dynavox, though... (More)

Switzerland: Germany and France (07 Jan 2009)

We intended to get up early and go back to Richard's to finish vacuuming and do a wash (Wednesday - Mittwoch - being his assigned wash day.) However, we spent a while eating breakfast with our hosts. It turned out that Richard had come home late the night before so he had started a wash first... (More)

Switzerland: Sickness, Hymn Sing, Lucerne (04-05 Jan 2009)

The Swiss prefer to drink their water with carbonation and it's hard to find bottled water without it. The tap water in most places (including the public outdoor fountains) is perfcetly drinkable but you have to ask for it. At the castle, they served us the "with gas" kind most of the... (More)
