My Daily Activities and Bond, James Bond!

Over the weekend, I lost a crown. I was chewing on a very hard Milk Dud when there was a sudden loud crunch. I had a pretty good idea of what happened and I pulled the mostly chewed up Dud out of my mouth, and managed to recover the crown…or what was left of it.

I had to do some intense rinsing to remove all the chocolate from the crown.

I’m not suffering any ill effects from losing the crown. I have a slight sensitivity to heat and cold in the back of my lower left jaw, but I was kind of feeling that before I lost the crown.

So I called my Dentist this morning and they are going to get me in tomorrow at 1PM.

My other big accomplishment of the day was completing our taxes for 2025. I went on line and found a website that seemed to indicate I could do my taxes for free on it.

I filled out all the information it requested and for the most part, it was pretty easy. I seemed to get everything completed according to the website’s satisfaction and it indicated we would be getting a nice refund.

I hit the submit button, which seemed to work, and it said I would be receiving an email within hours to let me know if the IRS accepted the return.

Then a window popped up that said the advanced version of the program costs $29.95 and how would I like to pay?! The advantage was my return would be saved on their server for three years with easy access if I ever needed it. 

One of the options was to deduct $29.95 from my refund. But that also included, in much smaller type, a $39.95 additional processing fee.

There was no option on the screen to just continue with the free version, so I opted to pay the 30 bucks with my debit card and screw you for the processing fee.

I have just now checked my email and I have indeed received a message from the tax site saying the IRS has accepted my form.

I’m going to go upstairs to my large mainframe computing device and print out my return for my files.

The rest of day belongs to me. I’m going out on some errands and then I foresee a nap in my future.

Either that, or I will continue watching the whole James Bond series on Netflix. I have just finished “Thunderball” and the next one up is “On Her Majesties Secret Service”.

I have special place in my heart for this particular movie because it was the first James Bond film I ever saw in a theater.

I fondly remember the scene where the bad guys are chasing Bond on skies and he jumps a train track where an engine with a big snow blower on it is approaching. One of the bad guys misses the jump and falls into the auger blades of the snow blower. The ejection chute blowing out all the snow suddenly turns bright red.

So cool for a 12 year old!
