The IRS waived my $15,000 fine plus $1200 in interest and admitted they lost the tax return I filed in early 2017.
Wow! That's amazing! ?

We will have a formal BD party Saturday when everyone can gather. His dinner of choice for Grandma to make: "home made Mac and cheese, salad, vanilla cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles"
Wow! That's amazing! ?
My happiest moment today was waking up and realizing that all the pain was gone!
For the past six days I have suffered from the worst attack of sciatica I have ever experienced (to the point I couldn't take a single step without severe, debilitating pain) and by yesterday I was beginning to think it would never resolve. I know that it can often take weeks to resolve, so I feel especially lucky today.
It's amazing what a freezer full of ice packs, loads of extra-strength Tylenol, and lots of rest can accomplish.
This isn’t as nice as the other posts in this thread but… I just got an alert from Duke Energy that my monthly bill is dropping by $35/month.
I’ll take it!
Along those same lines, I got the results email from my NCCCO crane recertification tests today. I passed the 7 tests I took and good to go for another 5 years, well beyond retirement.Just renewed my certification as a material testing technician yesterday. Have a very part-time job where I fill in as needed as a Quality Assurance tech at an Asphalt concrete plant and rock quarry. Recertification requires passing both an extensive written exam and hands-on practical test.
Ironically this test for recertification was held at my alma matter and in the very same lab room where I struggled to pass a very intense structural dynamics course as an undergrad 35 years ago.
Happiest today so far - the young wife telling me this morning that she feels better. Second happiest was waking up and feeling better myself. (We're both recovering from Covid).
Gumby,
Glad you and DW are doing better! I tested positive yesterday, an unhappy Christmas present. May I ask what, if anything, y’all did to treat yourself into recovery. Guess I’m on about day 3 or 4. Bad head cold for now. Thanks.
I am sorry to welcome you to the club no one wants to join. Hope you're feeling better soon.
We have been trying to maintain our normal schedule, including sleep. Due to the congestion, overnight sleep has been a little restless and difficult, but I think spending the day on the couch would just be worse. We are eating and drinking as we normally do, although neither one of us can drink more than a single glass of wine with dinner (we usually share a bottle). We have been taking Dayquil and Nyquil on the recommended schedule and it has somewhat controlled the symptoms - mainly congestion and occasional coughing. Today, I feel that my breathing is freer and my voice is less hoarse (and has moved back up into my normal tenor range). My best guess is that this is Day 9 after our infection. We intend to continue our isolation until 1/3
