Dislike!

Things I dislike:

1. My ex's tax accountant for not notifying us earlier than Friday that we needed to file singly because we were divorced for all of thirty-six hours last year. Because of this I just kited a good-sized check made out to Uncle Sam. Yes, Ex says she'll cover it with proceeds from the house sale - which I must pick up in Kirkland tonight - but still, this kind of tightrope-walking really isn't my style. For heaven's sake, the accountants are the ones who urged us to hurry up & get split up by EOY.
2. My son for general punkitude. Getting up in the morning, keeping my place clean, and eating regular, non-junk meals are not optional if you live with me.
3. The manufacturer of whatever tube I put on m'boy's bike. I think it blew on Friday night. Could 45 PSI have done it in?
4. Myself for screwing up a rollback on Friday.
5. Whatever germs make me woozy after dinner and then make me need to sleep for at least nine hours a night. It's hard to deal with the aforementioned punkitude if you're not with it physically; that's why my ex shipped him to me.
6. I still don't have a date for SEAF, to say nothing of being kinda sorta secondary at best for multiple women.

So what tax benefit did you get for divorcing before the end of the year, and was it offset by filing singly?

A fine question! To me, none so far.

So basically, your accountant either is incompetent or screwed you.

I feel like a lot of bike tubes simply fail, for no reason at all other than cheapness. The molds or the rubber are contaminated, and they fail at injection seams or along the joint between the tube body and the stem.
I have had better luck with tubes made by Continental. Instead of being made in China they're made in Taiwan. Friends also like Bontrager tubes, for the same reason. They seem to only fail from actual insult, rather than just ennui.

I figured you would be wise in the ways of bike tubes. Thanks.

I dunno about wise, but at least I'm a survivor.
