Rebekah replied to Experimental Wife's discussion Lady Blogger Wants to Know: What Do Men Actually Want for Christmas?"Elsewhere on that site, it says NJ has access to the business records of out-of-state businesses. I'm sure people with lower-than-expected (based on income, occupation, and place of residence) use taxes are more likely to get audited.
And I…"
Carl Monster replied to Experimental Wife's discussion Lady Blogger Wants to Know: What Do Men Actually Want for Christmas?"Correction...the state does not collect tax on such purchases, but says we owe it anyway, honor system.
I have no idea what we did that tax season. If we owe anything they have no way of proving anything, that's why nobody pays those…"

Margie said… I so miss those times when my son was still a baby. Enjoy the moments because they fly by. As for the pictures, there was a discussion thread a couple years back that prompted me to post those; it had something to do with keeping your inner child alive. But no, they're not of my son. They're just fun random pictures that my sister had 'forward e-mailed' me. Except for the family; that's my mom and dad, sister, and baby me.

Hi, Alison. I spent some time checking out your site this morning. It's very impressive! I read 'The Perfect Housewife: A Great American Myth'. I went through that type of phase shortly after I quit my job to stay home to care for my baby boy (he's 14 now) and fully devote myself to family. It's a long story, but that phase nearly killed me. lol
I'm going to have to read more of your articles.
