Is ":-(" an adequate response to owing taxes?
It felt like I flirted with boys all last weekend, and yet it appears I'm not going to get a single date out of it.
Bachelor #1 has known me long enough that if he were gonna do something, he would've done it by now. I think. It's awfully hard to tell with him. And I'm only ambivalently attracted to him anyway. It's more like a subconscious attraction. I never look at him and get the guh, but every time we're hanging out together, I go into "OK, touching you a lot, I guess" mode without even realizing it.
Bachelor #2 is real pretty, but probably a pothead. Oh well.
Bachelor #3 is very sweet, but probably too much of a wimp to ask me out. Oh well.
I've been cleaning my study and have found the floor. I also found a blank Rhode Island state income tax form that I have kept since I lived there (it's been 10 years) because of this...
Oh, that sad little frowny face makes me chortle every time. Its left eye is just a little smaller than its right, for extra cute pathos. Not to mention the humor inherent in the fact that RI put a smegging smiley and frowny face on a state form.

I guess it depends how much...
is sad face and happy face supposed to be a form of psychological reinforcement - owing is bad, refund is good
or is it meant as a way of making the tax forms more comprehensible to the common person, that might not understand "balance due" and "overpayment," without changing the language of the form to say "You Owe Us Money." or "You Get a Refund."
Honestly, when I was doing tax prep for Jackson Hewitt (H&R Block's main competitor ... basically, the Burger King of tax preparation), I had clients that asked me what "balance due" meant.
Re: I guess it depends how much...
I am saddened, but not surprised.
However, I prefer thinking the RI tax board couldn't control their whimsy to having to accept that people are so dumb that they need "This line bad" and "This line good" pictograms.
