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: Frin and bear it.
5. When is the last time you screwed up?
Who's up?
Please teach me how to "frin" Tiki.

Isn't that "Fins" with a smile??
And Shapiro's has the best corned beef I've ever had....
Bring me a sandwich for the Alpine tailgate?

It'll be a day old and messy.....

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!

Topless,
You can refile any tax return within three years of the filing date. If you have some proof of the gambling losses you can deduct them, if you itemize, up to the amount of your winnings (loser scratch tickets, loser powerball tickets, etc.). The form is the 1040X. Turbo Tax, or any tax product can walk you through it, or an accountant. It is worth looking at before you send them a check.

1. Where did you grow up?
Milton MA. Just south of Boston.
2. Have you ever been to Indiana?
Driven through it time and time again, but never stopped. However, given that their motto is the "Crossroads of America" that seems appropriate.
3. Describe yourself at age 18.
Freshman year college. . . I think.
4. How do you deal with pain?
Pretty well on both physical and emotional. But if I am sick my wife will tell you that I am huge baby.
5. When is the last time you screwed up?
Last night at 4:30 when the keet started crying and instead of letting her cry it out, got up and tried to rock her back to sleep. Huge mistake. Didn't go back to sleep until after 6:00, conveniently enough just about the time my alarm clock was set for.
