Been doing them since I was a teenager so have evolved as they got harder or changed over the years. Would be daunting for someone who didn't start out doing the EZ form as a kid.

I do our taxes. With a good computer and tax software, it's pretty easy.

I do my own taxes. My father, an accountant, used to check my returns when I was much younger. He died in February 1992 & I had to finish his return. My return is a piece of cake in comparison.

Taxing. But thankfully we get some back so that’s good. I start early and keep good records all year so it’s not too hard to do all at once.

I hate it because I try very hard to be accurate.

It would be taxing if i had to do them myself -- I'm not a numbers person. But my husband does them. Problem solved : )

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
