   I have to agree with Cathy’s mother on this one. What’s with objecting to men viewing women as sex objects when they insist on dressing as sex objects? It gives a whole new meaning to “dress to impress.” There is a reason that it is called UNDERwear. Keep it under you’re outer clothing, dag nabbit!

   I never heard of anyone having trouble with Turbotax before. Sorry you had that bad luck. Anyway, next year you can download it directly from their website. I’ve been using it for years, and Iv’e always been satisfied with it.

   Babushka? Who the heck uses that word anymore? It’s “head scarf” now. I haven’t heard anyone use that word since I was a teenager and my mother told my sister to put on her babushka before she went out. (To my sister’s complete horror and humiliation!) Even then, that was a dweebs word, and that was a very loooooong time ago!

   Excellent points, Nelly. (Can I call you Nelly?) Also, I don’t know how big Mooney University is, but Michigan University has over 52,000 students. If Bets and Tiff could snag 1 percent of them, that’s 52 clients. I remember an old Bazooka Joe comic where he was running a lemonade stand and was selling glasses of lemonade for $10! This was at a time when you could get it anywhere else for .50 cents. A passerby said to him, “Hey boy, you’re never going to sell much lemonade that way!” To which Joe replied, “yeah, but I only have to sell one!”

   I think you made some good points. As I said yesterday, marketing.

   Isn’t it great to get away with the story arcs and just have a good laugh once in awhile? And it’s wonderful to see Gunther pester Les for a change.

   Murphy’s law, (anything that can go wrong, WILL!) was never more applicable than it is with computers. I used to sell computer systems years ago when home computers were a fairly new idea. Many families were buying their first systems. My favorite slogan was “If your kids are growing up and moving our, and you are running out of reliable sources of aggravation, buy a computer!”

   As cheesy as Pig can be, I love that guy.

   On principle, you are right, but you are forgetting the power of marketing. Forty years ago, I couldn’t believe that somebody thought of the idea of bottling water and selling it for a buck at the local convenience store. Who in their right mind would pay a dollar for something that they could get from their kitchen sink for less than a penny? But it took off, and is a multi billion dollar industry! And although there are times when it actually makes sense, like the disaster that happened in Flint MI a few years ago, mostly, people are throwing their money away. Bets may be onto something, or not. Time will tell. Certainly, Tiff thinks so.

    The best thing about being a grandpa is that you get to be a bad influence on your grandkids.
