An empty threat. What does he think the IRS is going to do? If returns your father did for him were fradulent then he may also be considered by the IRS as a party to the fraud. After all, the client is supposed to review the return before signing it and make sure it's correct before the client...

Of course, whoever came up with that one did it intentionally. It would have been very easy to see once they put phobia backwards and realized that it would work as well as the descriptor of the fear. If he/she was at all into wordplay that would have been too good to pass up. :D

I was putting it in the context of the particular incident described in the article, and in that instance it was the father who witnessed it. I get weary of the gender correction police jumping out at every perceived use of a wrong gender term, particularly when the context in which the phrase...

The article suggests the mother was having some kind of severe mental problem at the time. I'd think there were signs before this that all was not right with her, though often those get overlooked because they aren't anything dramatic. Only in retrospect do people seem to remember seeing things...

That motorhome strikes me much like a boat does: costs a lot to buy, a lot to maintain & store, and in the end gets very little use to justify the cost. The people I know who have motorhomes do love them but they concede that it wasn't really worth all the money that went into them. I once...

It might be a good thing that much of the world (other than Africa) is starting to decline in population. When concern about overpopulation straining food resources was at its zenith there was growing effort to introduce various insects as meat substitutes in our diets to get the protein we...

For a beagle, Snoopy was profoundly wise beyond his (dog) years.

That's the reason my first reaction was to look to see if it was April Fool's Day. The U.S. does have a few rainforests, mostly in Alaska and Washington state (temperaturate rain forests in Alaska and Washington state) and tropical rain forest (Puerto Rico). The primary criteria for a forest to...

We've had them for decades if not centuries. But today we have the internet to tell us about everything that goes on everywhere. Before the internet most would only hear of these kinds of things that happened in their area from local media, like the city/community newspaper (most of which have...

The picture is too small for me to really see what's going on. When I enlarge it, it's too pixelated for me to see any detail. Trump's heavy handed tactics in DC will round up some criminals but, if the past is any indication, they'll also detain a number of people who just "look like criminals"...

California law is very tenant friendly, probably the most pro tenant state in the country. There are several organizations in El Monte that provide free legal assistance and other help to tenants, including: El Monte city Housing Clinic Housing Rights Center run by the nonprofit 211LA Rental...

It's hard to understand the brain of those who engage in this kind behavior. This particular kink of the guy tells me it's a mental disability of some kind, whether it's low intellect, a mental illness of some kind, the result of a brain injury or some combination of those. A person with normal...

The HOA is private property. While you are not a party to the HOA agreement that doesn't mean you may do whatever you like on its property. That said, if there were no signs or anything else giving you warning of the rules of road were in that HOA you probably can ignore that "citation". The...

I'm a bit embarrassed that's he's member of the Bar in my state. There are two problems, here. First, of course, he called her "honey". Fortunately he caught the error and promptly apologized for it. The judge seemed willing to let that go but he couldn't compose himself to continue with his...

You lack a very important piece of information, which is the process the FBI used to identify you. There is no way to determine if any of your civil rights were violated without that information. Depending on the information the FBI had and how willing Reddit is to give the FBI the information...

This the first time I've really considered that part of it. I'm fortunate that I have a lot family from my father's generation, my generation, and the next two generations down who all call me by my nickname. So I hear it all the time. There have been very, very few people who use my given first...

One of the most depressing parts of living a long life is enduring the loss of many friends, family, lovers and coworkers along the way. I don't know that I want to the last one standing among those that are close to me.

Given the path DJT is taking the country I am no longer confident that U.S. citizens won't wrongfully be arrested. His justice department doesn't seem to care much whether a targeted person is innocent or not. Instead, the DOJ is now highly politicized and caught up in Trump's unending quest for...

It's impossible to give you much useful information when you don't provide us with the basic facts of the claim you wish to pursue including who defendants would be (e.g. a local, state, or federal government agency, a business, or one or more dividuals; what the defendants did that would be the...

I feel much the same way. We've never even had national conversation about what would be the most appropriate remedy, let alone actually doing something about it. A lot of people who still harbor some racial animus towards African Americans say that the Civil Rights of 1964 was all that we...
