So this is piecing...

Hope everyone had a great Hallowe'en! I had a lot of fun attending the DB BB's Hallowe'en party hosted by none other than the hostess with the mostest--Barbie Doll! The thread is in the Just For Fun Forum if you want to check it out.

H and I had our date Saturday and we sat through a 3 hour showing of "The Promise". It was a beautiful musical rendition of the story of Christ--very well acted and professionally sung--there was also a menagerie of animals including a camel, horses, sheep, donkeys, doves and pigeons. The program said that the London Philharmonic Orchestra helped with the sound track. I loved it all--including the contempory Christian rock band that opened the show.

My H's take on it was good. He was not magically converted into a believer after the show, but he was impressed and open-minded enough to say he would like to see it again! God is working on him. It was all performed outdoors and the chance of rain was great, but me and I am sure many of the audience members kept praying for the Lord to hold off the rain and He did!! That also impressed my H because on the drive home, it was apparent that it had rained all around us, just NOT at the amphitheater! God is good!!

Going back a bit, Friday was an interesting day involving email from BMOW to my H. In an email she made a catty reference to the personal email that I deleted where she had asked my H for computer help.

I had previously sent 2 request to one of the business partners to ask you for this information but he didn't respond. I"m assuming he's either buried in work or not in the office. Regardless, I need an email address. I have several business items I need to discuss with the person whose email address I need as well as several orders for some items that need to be drop shipped. I would prefer not to send this to their general email address. I don't have the information anymore because I lost my hard drive and my address book. If you have them, can you please forward them.

Apparently, Friday was really NOT a good day for her because she also received in the regular mail on Friday some business stuff that I had found laying around the house that I took the liberty of forwarding to her.

No, my H would most definitely NOT approve of my doing so, but I got tired of looking at it day after day. It was a check from a customer that came to our address by mistake and some collection letters for an unpaid bill for one of the corporations that BMOW and H set up. It appears that BMOW has not paid several of the bills, but we already knew that there was a problem from the collection calls H has been getting at work for an unpaid phone bill for the business. Anyway, I put all the stuff in a large manila envelope, and addressed it to the business, NOT her. I also put our return address on it, all in my handwriting, which she may or may not have recognized. It elicited the following response from her:

Hello,

I received in the mail today (forwarded from your home address) 2 collection notices regarding Corporation #2. I assume that the belief is that Corporation #1 is responsible for paying these bills?

I do not plan on paying for them out of the Corporation #1 account. Corporation #1 has not and never intends to utilize Corporation #2, that was set up for your personal income. (LG here--Yes, that personal income was to come from corporation #1, among other endeavors) When I wrote to you back in April/May regarding Corporation #2 you never responded or indicated if you wanted to close the coroporation down. I took no further action on your behalf regarding this company and I don't intend to now.

Would you like me to mail these back? Corporation #1 is paid up and is in good standing regarding the corporate structure. (Only because it currently benefits her!)
BMOW

OK, I dug up the email she refers to that she sent back in May. You decide if she expected a response, or even asks for one!

I finally got this back on my radar scope again... I know that you had been wondering what we should do with corporation #2 and if it could sit until needed at a later date. The answer to that is YES, it can (yeah).

Basically I called the firm that we used last June, both companies are in perfect standing with the state. We will receive letters from the state, (probably soon) about franchise taxes if they are applicable.

As long as those are paid, the company can just sit and never do another thing. Once you start to make an income, we will then have to do some other paperwork with it, but not before then. So, it's not a loss or another write off in the least!!! The only unknown is what the amount of franchise tax is going to be. But actually I don't think that there will be any franchise tax. So, you are in the clear and still own another company that can sit and wait to shelter income for you at a later date.

I hope this news pleases you,
BMOW

P.S. We are also in good standing with corporation #1, we do not pay sales tax again until Dec 2004. I'm still working on the corporation #1 Federal Income Tax return, but we have until the end of August to address that (for 2003), I did manage to file an extension.

In my opinion, she is having selective memory about all this and it is compounded by the fact that I have made it known to her that I am home again and watching her. I'm sure she was extremely rattled by receiving something from H and I's home address in my handwriting. And I didn't even address the envelope to her, I addressed it to the business. There was no offending note to her from me in the envelope, just the business stuff.

H came home Friday and did not say a word to me about me forwarding that stuff to her. I figured we might have a big discussion about it, but nothing yet. Also, he has not responded to the email. I really hope he doesn't, either.

Watch out, BMOW. I will continue to rattle your cage.
