Man, that reminds me of my old history teacher. We were breaking down some big battle, all tactics and dates, and he just shut the book and said, "But what about the guy who dropped his lucky coin in the mud that morning?" It flipped the whole thing for me. We get so wrapped up in the grand story we forget it's made of small, real people. Your neighbor and that teacher are seeing the same thing, I guess. It's about the person, not just the event.

You forgot the self employment tax part, right?

Saw a video where vinegar barely touched old mineral deposits.

But what if you're desperate to get in?

Oh man, @holly_wood, isn't that the worst? I've lost count of how many times my own stubborn "it's definitely not that" guess has cost me an extra hour. The last check always feels so pointless right up until it fixes everything. I've learned to just swallow my pride and do the dumb simple check first. It saves so much time, even if it makes me feel a little silly.
