So, she gave you a save-the-date, even though you didn't need to save the date, because you weren't invited, but now that you mention it, she's had some cancellations, so you can take one of their spots? I hope you don't waste your money on this wedding!
I agree. OP, you sound very nice, but your friend sounds like she has some challenges.

Do ya'll judge us non-LDSers when we drink coffee or alcohol in front of you in a professional setting? Not a lot, just one serving. please explain your answer.
Thanks!
Why would they, if you are not LDS?
You might have better luck if you set up an account on DCUM, then people could send you a private message, vs. putting their contact information on the board.

Exactly. There's no filter. You get exactly what people are thinking, good or bad.
What is adult DD? Not familiar with this abbreviation.

The return is not accurate. He forgot to include my daughter and other important information -- that's why I'm getting less through him. Of course I will tell him all these things, but isn't that what I pay him for? Accuracy so I don't mess things up myself?
You are still obligated to review your return before signing it. Mistakes are made all of the time, by everyone. You need to let him know and he will fix. You have plenty of time to get the mistakes fixed.

Three weeks is nothing for taxes. You are the one who decided to buy Turbotax. Yes, you are obligated to pay him.
And please call today. Right now. We all need to know.

I lived in Scotland when little, where the winter sun sets at 3pm. One year, my mother, desperate like you, counted the days in January when she saw sunshine.
There were none!
I can do you better. I grew up in England. One year (365 days, people) we saw the sun 32 days out of the entire year.
Your child, your choice.
Do you think there will be school?
I think we will have a 2 hour delay.

Normal. We refer to it as the Howler monkey phase.
What's the deal? Does anyone know?

Gold and silver prices then plummeted. They held onto those coins, hoping they would recover the losses. Boxes of coins in the basement, lugged with them every time they moved. I inherited them a few years ago, and since we don't have space for them we dragged those heavy, moldy boxes to a coin dealer when I was 8 months pregnant to finally get rid of them - for less than my parents paid 30+ years earlier.
Then you sold at a bad time. Look at this chart which shows the history of gold prices since 1970: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_as_an_investment
The pp doesn't say when they sold, but it looks like they probably sold about 2000 and really missed out. Should have kept lugging those boxes....
