I was just wondering about everyone's business successes/failures, so I drew
up a few simple questions. My apologies if these are intrusive:

1. What were your gross sales this year?
2. What was your net profit?
3. What did you report to the IRS?
4. Are you confident in your stated tax deductions?
5. Did you make any career blunders this year?
6. Did you know you could save up to 15% on your car insurance by switching
to Geico?
7. Do you hate pus?

Just curious,

Not Ed

What is it they say about great minds thinking alike? (Ed: They also say
"fools seldom differ"!).

I've just posted similar questions in my latest missive to Joe.

For the record my answers to your questions are:

1: Confidential.
2: Confidential
3: Confidential (although it is HMRC over here rather than IRS).
4: No, but my accountant had better be.
5: Of course. Work would be boring without career blunders.
6: I sincerely doubt it.
7: Depends on the context. If I were served it for lunch? Yes. OTOH, it
is much better at fighting bacterial infection than a cheese and pickle
sandwich.

Hope that helps.

With Kindest Regards

Oh, and I forgot the "Thanks in advance" also! Good thing I have absolutely
no agenda!

Ed (oops, I mean "Not Ed" (sounds like "knothead"))

p.s. I'm actually learning vi this week!

Those first three responses are rather abrubt. Must be a clique thing...

Super,

I was rereading the other thread, and the gentleman started throwing
out accusations after just 3 posts. Sounds like a pretty short fuse to
me.

For the record, I am not in any clique. I have respect for my fellow
CDP'ers, but we disagree on many, many things.

Happy Holidays everyone....

Accusations? Hardly. Merely observations posted in a public forum.
Interesting that you felt the need to jump right in and "step up to the
plate" to presumably take your swat at said "gentleman".

To quote Dawn, "...that's so last year." Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Allen. I put the link on my favorites list.
