SPANISH WORD OF THE DAY
Let's do mistake or error, pronounced AIR-roar. Be sure to roll the rr. I am frustrated by an error made by the Texas Comptroller's office electronic tax filing system.

I just don't like errors one bit. That is why when we created our award winning DVD, Let's Learn Spanish with Frank & Paco, we first put together a team of language experts. If you want to have the correct pronunciation, you need to start language at a young age. You can be sure the pronunciation in our DVDs are error free. Order your's today from www.frankandpaco.com/.

AND MORE
So, now I am getting ominous letters from the state comptroller's office. I filed my franchise tax return last May (not owing anything) but failed to print the confirmation #. They had no record and in December sent me a letter with a penalty and demand to file (they said I never filed). So I refiled...this time making sure to print out the return and get a confirmation #. Today, I get a very ominous letter saying I never filed and that they are going to take away my business' registration. At least they are giving me until June 29th to fix it. But I am so annoyed! I plan to personally take this to the nearest office and file it. Wish me luck in getting this straightened out. Grrrrr!!!

Be safe tomorrow everyone!
