Mom, taxes and such.

Let me start by saying I truly love my mother. Seriously, I do.......but some days..........

Cell phone ringing on the way from work. 6:30. It's mom calling from her house phone.
Ace; "Hello"
Mom; "Are you driving"
Ace; "Yes"
Mom; "I need to print my taxes and the computer says the printer is off line".
Ace; "I'll stop by after work"

Now first off I'm on the same Sprint account as my mom so our person to person minutes are free. Alas, she still hasn't grasped that. She calls my house from her cell and my cell from her house.
Secondly, "are you driving"? Of course I'm driving, I have worked 8-6 Monday-Friday for 20+ years.

Printer was indeed Off-line. Pretty hard to be on-line if you aren't plugged in.
So I plug in the printer and nothing, printer dead.

Now we have a new dilemma.
 Mom; Can we print them somewhere else?"
  Ace "I don't know where are they at"
Mom; They are on the computer"
Ace' "Little more specific, that's a pretty big place"
Mom, "Tax-act, we used Tax-act "  Now we are starting to make some progress.
Ace;" Do you know your user name and password?"
Mom, "Yes, I have it written down"
Ace, '"Sure mom, no problem then. I can print them at my house"

Now is when the fun kicks in. FYI to all my friends an underscore is not the same as a minus sign in your password.

Sweet, got it under control now. I physically am now looking at her taxes, on my brand new computer, in a PDF file. This is a done deal.
LOL, Error message, suck! My Adobe is to new. Sooo..... still there? I break out the old computer, 9 speedy minutes later I am once again staring a PDF face to face. Print button pushed. Suck....error message, out of ink.

Back in the car and off to CVS for ink. I did have a coupon for 18.50 on  any regular priced item. Suck, again. Ink was on sale.

To make a long story short. My mom taxes are printed.

I love my mom.
