My Expletive Bag…
…is empty now. I used up all my expletives on the walk to the bus stop after my tax exam this morning. I’ts understandable, I guess. But, with each step, I thought of something that I did wrong or forgot or could have done better. And, with each step, a tiny–somtimes silent, sometimes not–curse fell from my mouth onto the ground below.
Plus, it’s the tax code: you can be wrong EVEN IF you’re right. MMUUUGGGHHHLLL!
But, it’s over now. There’s nothing to be done at this point.
So, I’m going to start working on my estate planning project in advance of the final tomorrow. It never ends. Wish me luck!
On the plus side, I’ve brokered a PC-materials deal. So…Whoop!

Oh, I was thinking this might be a bag in which you keep a quarter for each time you swear. LOL
@christao408 - Maybe an “LMFAO” is slightly more appropriate? Generally, I only use curses to myself…silently. And even then, there are a bunch that I just don’t say. If I had a quarter policy for each time an audible swear word slipped out, over the course of my life, there would probably be less than 10 dollars there…and probably closer to 7.
Une feuille d ‘impôts n’ est pas une lecture amusante mais suscite de la créativité à travers la grande diversité de jurons !!

Qu’est ce un ” estate planing project?”
Qu’est ce qu’un “estate planning project”?
No! It never ends.
I went out and got a bottomless expletive bag back when I was 13 years old. That’s when I took up cussing. With my bottomless bag I could just curse of a storm and not worry about running out of bad words to say.
@fauquet - Un “estate plan” est un arrangement sous laquelle on mettre toutes ses affaires en ordre. Un estate plan organise
les volontés dernières, les assurances-vie, tous les actifs qui appartiendront à quelqu’un au moment de sa mort. Le « estate planning project » est pour les étudiants en droit à apprendre construire un estate plan.
Aux états unis, il y a beaucoup de taxes pour les gens riches qui veulent laisser leusr choses pour leurs enfants ou petits-enfants après leur mort. Donc, il y a beaucoup d’opportunité d’éviter ces taxes…et c’est typiquement le but d’un estate plan.
@PlatotheSmurf - You’re such a savvy shopper. I cheaped out upfront and now I’m paying for it now. Thanks for the rec!
Good luck tomorrow. Let’s know how well you performed.
Hope the finals went well. My expletive bag is empty since I never put any in I can’t take any out…
My worst cussing is “Ding Dang Donuts!”
