Two for Tuesday - Family Style

1. Do you resemble, lookswise, anyone else in your family? If so, who?
I look like my mom.. a lot. Same facial structure, same hair, same “build”. You definately cannot know my mom, and then say that I’m not hers*L* I think the only thing I got from my dad, is the eyes.. we both have the same eyes.. my great great grandfather’s eyes…

2. Do you talk to your parents on a weekly basis? daily? monthly? not at all?
I talk to my mom about once or twice a week on the phone, when my dad is home etc.. from working/traveling business crap, I usually talk to him every day or every other day on MSN.. through email etc.. I usually visit them every 2 months, and spend as much time as I can with them. I wasn’t so good doing that on the last trip, and now with immigration possibly getting started soon.. I probably won’t see them for a long while.. which makes me quite sad..

Tuesday This or That

1. File taxes as early as possible, or wait until the last possible minute? Somewhere in the middle.. Taxes were easy for me the past 2 years.. 0 income.. do de do.. here’s my forms, I’m still alive.. don’t steal my Social Security, Thanks!
2. File electronically, or mail paper forms? Paper Forms.. as much as I love my computer.. I don’t trust the thing.
3. Prepare your own taxes, or have someone do it for you? eh.. on my own.. I don’t have enough crap to warrant someone else having the migraine.
4. Are you a saver or a spender? Fluctuates really.. I used to be a horrible horrible spender.. and I got in trouble with it.. Now that I’ve paid the price, and that I’ve scared myself shitless with it.. I’m more of a saver…I just have come to the point where I really evaluate what I’m purchasing.. I rarely impulse buy..
5. Do you prefer to carry cash, or pay with plastic (credit/debit cards), or by check? i pay by cash, k usually uses his debit card or visa.
6. You’re broke and desperately need a job, but the only places that are hiring are retail or fast food places. Which would you pick? retail.. handsdown
7. Keeping track of your money: are you more meticulous or careless about it?meticulous… because I don’t have my own income.. so what money I do have.. I make sure that it lasts.. because I hate having to ask for more.
8. What do you do if you find yourself with a lot of change weighing down your purse/pocket/wallet? Do you try to spend it to *get rid of it*, or do you put it in a jar or a piggy bank? I put it in my “money” jugs.. I have made pint sized yogurt tubs into money jars.. they’re labeled per each coin denomination.. When I have too much change, it all goes in there. After a few months I’ll see if I can roll it up.. I’ve used it for spending cash when I’ve gone to visit the parents.
9. Which form of fake money do you like better…Monopoly money or those chocolate coins covered with gold foil?the chocolate kind of course!
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You find a wallet containing $5,000 in cash, as well as several credit cards and the owner’s drivers’ license. Your rent is due tomorrow and you’re short $200. Do you take the money (some or all of it) and mail back the wallet anonymously…or do you return the wallet with all contents intact? I’d like to say I’d take my rent money and return it saying i found it like this.. but then again returning all of it minus 200 dollars is fishy.. so I’d return it in full and cross my toes like mad the happy bastard will give me a reward for being so honest.
