OMG, Ellie! This is what I get for being away for so damn long. How the heck are you? Drop me a line if you feel up to it.

Ya know, we did things the way Code Blue did... prepared returns both ways, looked at the bottom line and then did what was best "for the family". Uh, can I just say that the pissy attitude is to be expected? He's probably feeling sorry for himself, and of course, aren't you the cause of all his woes? It's just second nature to get pissy with you.

We also split deductions. Got it down to a fine science. But if I remember correctly, while we were still legally married, it was financially better to file jointly and split the difference.

Good luck and take care!

p.s. How's your medical career going these days? Hope you're kicking a$$... glad the VD massacre is now finally over for you.
