How did they know you won?

Any winnings over $1199 are taxable. The casino gave me a 1099 right there and then.... I put it in my "tax file" and then forgot all about it somehow.....

it stinks becasue i could have deducted ltto tickets and the money Mr. Top lost that day.... and my tax MIGHT have been zero...oh well.... just sent them a check!

Pretty normal, considering what I grew up to be.

not too long ago....I'm far from perfect! Thank goodness my screwups haven't caused any big harm, just mostly embarassment or inconvenience or a lecture.

1. Where did you grow up?
Wildwood Illinois, far north Chicago suburb

2. Have you ever been to Indiana?
Yes. 1st time may have been Turkey Run State Park circa 1985... camping with college buds. Many times since... favorite stop? Shapiro's for a reuben!! Yum!

3. Describe yourself at age 18.
Camping at Turkey Run State Park with college buds!

How ironic! When I was 18, the world was my oyster! Life revolved around playing sports and socializing. I figured I'd be a pro athlete, but that didn't quite work out... probably from too much socializing!

4. How do you deal with pain?
Physical: Apparently I have a panic attack and stay in the hopital for 3 days! Although, that was an extreme case... I actually think I have a pretty high threshold for it, or I'm used to it. Emotional: Grin and bear it.

5. When is the last time you screwed up?
Who's up?

1. Where did you grow up?
Luckily, in small town, picket-fence perfection here in the Annapolis Valley of beautiful Nova Scotia.

2. Have you ever been to Indiana?
Never. Should I go?

3. Describe yourself at age 18.
It was 1971 and I was a freshman in university, somewhat of a hippie girl archetype, but not stoned all the time. Eager, bright and ready for the world.

4. How do you deal with pain?
What kind of pain? Everything is impermanent.

5. When is the last time you screwed up?
Forgetting my password at work last week. I need to learn to use just one for everything.

1. Where did you grow up?
Suburban Chicago

2. Have you ever been to Indiana?
Yup. And I even escape once in a while...

3. Describe yourself at age 18.
Confident at things I was good at, shy at many other things. Not very self-assured. Spent most of that year broadening my horizons as a foreign exchange student to central Mexico...different language, culture, etc.

4. How do you deal with pain?
Physical? Pretty well. Emotional? Bottle it up too much...and then get hurt more....

5. When is the last time you screwed up?
Forgot to send my sister's birthday present
