first thought Val

is a tax one. Does she want to hire a professional for this?

As smart as you sound, I am biased b/c we have had 4 separate tax problems the past year.

2 of them we prevailed in and 2 we did not. (These issues involved 2 diff past years, (09 and 2010) and both the state AND the feds...wth?!! It's like we are on someone's list...sheesh...)

Anyhow I wish to God we'd just hired a CPA in the first place to handle it.

you'd avoid the crap we've experienced INCLUDING a mistake on the part of the state when they placed a lien on our home, in error...

and the closest thing to an apology I got, 5 months later, was "Release lien without charge. Lien placed in error."

As of 2 weeks ago, the lien was still there...nice. So you know where I stand on this. Hire someone and go out for dinner...


Oh--the last part about you not wanting to see her or minimizing the time you two are together, is NOT needed.

You can say "completed by June 1" as a way of saying you want to move forward and assume she does too.

No need for the rest about not having to see her much. Sounds a little nasty and

it's redundant, when you realize the implications of having it all complete by a certain date, don't you think?


Let me get back to you on the rest.
