Keeping records for IRS, and cat vomit

#1

This is probably too much information, but I just got home from the casino. The last two years I have kept all notes and records of video poker play in a hardbound log book. Earlier today I made the mistake of leaving it next to my recliner chair, on the floor.

Got home just now, and as I approached the book, it looked funny, brown color. I'm thinking, what happened? Did cat use it as a scratching post and shred it down to the cardboard? Nope, that's not it. I reach down, and realize what it is as I am about to pick it up. It's just covered, I say COVERED, with cat vomit. I mean, I'm used to cat vomit, no biggie. But of all the places in this house to dump his dinner, and he had to pick that spot specifically?

Let this be a lesson to me. After I go to the store tomorrow and buy a new one, don't EVER leave it where it is "accessible".

Maybe he had listen to the President speech about raising taxes, because the wealthy should share what they have.

Ok so check it out. When I was about 14 I had a 3 page homework assignment. My mother spilled tea on one of the pages. My dog chewed up the second page, and as I was pulling out the last page, right outside the classroom, the wind blew away my only remaining proof that I'd done the assignment at all.

I walked in. The teacher said, "Do you have your homework?" I could certainly have truthfully answered, "Well my mom spilled tea on it, the dog ate it...and the wind blew it away."

I said, "No"--And left it at that.

She let me make it up after school...and then I told her the truth. She may still be laughing to this day.

On the other hand, if you get Audited by the IRS for that year,
it will make your audit much shorter and more pleasant.

For you.

Wow, impressive aim for a cat!

Sorry to hear about your log book. If you are an iPhone user, could I suggest that you take a peek at our app "WinLoss" which can help track your VP activity and supplement or take the place of your log book? The app is FREE to download and test drive:

The app creates some great reports that you can easily email to yourself right from the app. If you have a chance to check it out, I would love to hear your feedback!

Best Regards,
Alan
