My dad's records reminded me of the other part of his old stereo system. What was the name of the tape reels that played music, not the small tapes. The bigger reels where it would go through one side and wind up on the other side.

An 8 track?

Or reel to reel:

The description with the big reels sounds like reel to reel, but to my knowledge, there wasn't ever really commercial music sold on RTR, usually those were recording stuff yourself, so that's why I included 8 track...plus beach boys/smothers brothers is right in the 8-track wheel house.

I saw Birdy's post and was like, can I mail her a check? Haha, that does sound good.

OK, I officially give up on taxes for today. Don't have the registration information for the wife's vehicle, so I'm not getting it done today, anyway, and I'm sick of sitting here wondering if I'm doing it right.

If only someone could recommend a good place to have my taxes done......:wink:

I'll do your taxes. For a fee...

It was reel to reel then. He had it set up with the RTR in the middle under a glass case, speakers on the side and record player underneath. It took up a lot of room in the basement. I don't even remember when they got rid of it.

CG,

How about this:

I have made them once, think I took those and mudslide cupcakes to a girls' poker night.

CG,

How about this:

hmmm, it's for the office, so I'm thinking something easy to transport/sit out. This looks good for making at home though!

Oh, no, I'd need somebody professional, like H&R Block or something.

This was probably much less exciting than I'm making it out in my head.....

Oh, it's for the office. Well then...

Reminds me I need to set aside 30 minutes or so to do mine. Paper trail stuff is just all tossed in a file folder awaiting me attention.

So here's the deal with work today...

With the retail job, I'm making out the schedule between me and another gal while our other co-worker snowbirds in FL. All it involves is taking a form, selecting who's working what days, and writing "7-11" M-Sa, then "10-2" on Sundays. The other gal has asked to work weekends because it meshes with her other work schedule. Great!

So at 7:27 this morning, I get a call from her asking when the store opens. I had accidentally put 7-11 on Sunday, so she showed up at 7. She's worked at least the past three Sundays, and we've opened at 12 (necessitating being there at 10) every single time. She then asks if I can work for her today because "I just drove 45 min [from Bloomfield], and I'm not waiting around 2 hours." *sigh* So, I went in. Yes, my fault I wrote the schedule wrong, but any common sense would have said "That's wrong/unusual...you should ask."

And of course, my mental faculties were not at 100% because I just woke up.

Geh.

Oh, the worm has turned...

I talked to my assistant manager this morning about yesterday, and she said "I talked to her about this..." Seems like my co-worker noticed the discrepency back on Thursday, and asked the asst. manager about it. She told her "Oh, no...that's a mistake, we open at 12 on Sunday." Not to mention, I was there for a few hours Thursday morning, and she saw me. Why didn't she ask then?

I'm not very happy with this...

Ha, probably. Unless in your head you were picturing a bunch of Dr's wives/soccer & stay at home moms playing poker. But it was fun. It was the same night as Baylor/ISU a few years ago so I was late to the party. But I was one hand away from winning big. Like $50 big.

Uh-oh....look like someone 'bout to get a real close look atta back of SaraV's hand.
