    I left a company in January 2023 so I have a second W2 and their state vs. federal is different. I just put n/a because taxact.com told me that was okay via a google search

    I just left the company with the questionable W2 last month, so looking forward to doing this one more time next year.

    yeah i didn't want to offer any tax advice but since you said it first, the same thing happened to me a couple years ago (I believe I was the company's first Michigan employee and they hadn't received their state ID yet) and someone at turbotax told me to just put the federal ID number in the box and it would be fine. I'm not in jail so as far as I know that wasn't egregiously wrong.

    We live near a manmade lake. Was walking with the kids and we saw a baby duck fall down a storm drain. Momma was going crazy. Couldn't get to it in the water, so we walked to the drainage point and saw there was about 10 of those fuckers about 50 yards in. Got my bucket and headlamp and went on a rescue mission.

    Did the 50 yard squat walk to the ducks. Then those little assholes ran away down a different drain that exited where I came in. Follow them out thinking we were about to do some circles, and then momma somehow found her way to the exit point and ushered them home.

    I won't say I'm a hero, but I also won't say I'm not. Legs are currently jello.

    Maybe a dumb question, do you think 6yo is too young for a concert, the band AJR? Was going to have him wear earmuffs or earplugs and I don’t think AJR will be a rowdy crowd or anything. Wife was kinda lukewarm on the idea.

    That’s a core memory right there and could potentially influence his passion for music. My dad did sound for his friend’s band when I was little, and I absolutely loved going to shows. It started a fascination and enjoyment of electric guitars that has never went away.

    That shot of Cincinnati isn’t a great example to use. The area north and east of City Hall in the photo is full of 1840-1890 architecture that was preserved and is one of the hottest areas to move inner city in the country.

    The road is I-75, and everything on the other side that was flattened was right next to the rail terminal, with a lot of heavy industry, where no one who can afford to live elsewhere wants to live.

    The Over-the-Rhine area near City Hall is actually a pretty successful example of a livable downtown.
