finally got thru to NAT
who found the original and unresolved incident where I attempted 11 or 12 times to "pay" Turbo Tax, their filing fee with my bank card (US BANK VISA) and it would not advance the page nor would it accept the payment.  However, the charge did hit my checking account 11 or 12 times, although I gave the first Turbotax service rep my credit card number verbally.

She gave me a 'service' code and offered me a discount, but still the page would not advance and I could not file my tax return on April 14th, 2015.
Since I had a prepaid cell phone, I had to hang up and try to resolve another way, but there was no email or electronic support other than phone and then it was 'after business hours,' and
although I attempted for the next few days to contact, I could not get through to an agent. I contacted my bank and they said the charges would drop off after three business days, but meanwhile, I was now 'bouncing' checks, and being charged successive overdraft fees.
finally, on wed. 4.22 I called "Nat" on Turbo tax and we downloaded and installed turbo tax on my computer, but it would not install the California program, and required a dot net framework update which I then downloaded and installed. Now it is two hours later and since I'm on a prepaid cell, my minutes are running low.




Dear Sir or Madam:
The overdraft charges occurring during the week of April 14th were due to multiple charges by Intuit against my checking account
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
due to a programming error on their part. Their turbo tax site would not register my tax file payment and would not allow me to complete and file my taxes.

the charges hit my account in repeated attempts to resolve this issue and when I called US Bank, they assured me these would be refunded as the duplicate charges dropped off in three business days. This has not happened and the charges remain.

I asked a bank teller and she said I would have to write a letter, and when I called on Wednesday at 10 am, your offices were closed due to some 'weather' condition. And, the other 'advice' I got was to include Turbo Tax in a 'three way' conference call with US bank and I do not have that capability on my phone.
Please refund these overdraft charges as they are in error.

Going Homeless

I'm revising that Neil Young song, "Helpless, Helpless, Helpless" into Homeless, etc.
I'm now 23 days into my homelessness.
homeless, homeless on the range.
I'm staying with relatives but they rather I didn't.
I just need their WiFi,
and spacebase or shelter...

I have 3 job opportunities, failed to successfully e-file my Turbo Tax'd 2015 return
and have spent countless hours on the phone with their tech support to resolve the
incident
and there is still no resolution.

And, Job Op number two, is pending offer
and I'm on pins and needles
so I bite the bullet.
Sit tight
think about other things

the Path of Least Resistance
for example
and how I'm going to launch into my next spacebase....
here in Lost Angeles
where the streets have no name.

I thought about my survival skills, instincts, and of course, death, computers, and taxes,
but I'm on a camping trip, I'm okay, I'm clean, I'm washed and in lieu of shampoo, I used baking soda and apple cider vinegar and my hair is soft and silky.

And, my unemployment ran out, so I have been in a panic mode due to the delays in pending job offers,
but again, ...path of LR
and chilling like a villain.

I'm not upset, but in flux like being on a really long airplane ride and there's no way out until you land
I'm jumping off anyway.

Can't get Turbo Tax installed to e-file my return so I'm leaving it alone for now, although Nat from Arizona is supposed to call back.

I feel so much fatigue when things spin out of control, but at least I have medication (metformin) and some food to eat. Gas in the car? Yes, Restored my bank account after Turbo Tax drained my checking account ten or 12 times for the same charge, and the bank gave me back the overdraft fees, and yet,
I'm waiting

I'm waiting for the sun/moon/heart chakra prana meditation and manifestation.

Yesterday I had a vision of an Egyptian Woman, a goddess, perhaps Hathor, but no horns, just the headdress, and the flail, and cross bow poised in tribute or prayer who said, "I am Shaman Ra..." and bowed to me in the temple.

I wonder.

El Dorado

The dream of El Dorado, a lost city of gold, led many a conquistador on a fruitless trek into the rainforests and mountains of South America. But it was all wishful thinking. The "golden one" was actually not a place but a person - as recent archaeological research confirms.

Columbus's arrival in the Americas in AD1492 was the first chapter in a world-changing clash of cultures. It was a brutal confrontation of completely opposing ways of living and systems of beliefs.
The European myth that arose of El Dorado, as a lost city of gold waiting for discovery by an adventurous conqueror, encapsulates the Europeans' endless thirst for gold and their unerring drive to exploit these new lands for their monetary value.
The South American myth of El Dorado, on the other hand, reveals the true nature of the territory and the people who lived there. For them, El Dorado was never a place, but a ruler so rich that he allegedly covered himself in gold from head to toe each morning and washed it off in a sacred lake each evening.

homeless, helpless, helpless, hopeless but yknow, Stupid Rich

I have officially 'gone homeless..."
its not a long story,
but lets just say, I got evicted from my luxury Oceanside apartment by the Mission,
and then, when I heard the Mission Bell ring
I knew this was indeed, Hotel California...

Ah, careers...I don't know if I would call it 'that' but let's try.
My resume is rife with plot holes, rabbit holes, and a few runaway robots.
So, in the interest of brevity,
I know that now, I'm done with being poor.


 Day after Day, I see my life rife with opportunity - yet, there is no landscape upon which to paint.
I run this way, then, that way, and then stop
hoping to collect the ether of fortune...and stillness abounds.
silence abounds
in a law of dogs barking, lost angeles has claimed me, and here I sit, overlooking virgin territory
like an outlaw
like a mercenary soldier of fortune,
I see, I await,
and I invoke
$ten million dollars today

Going homeless

I went homeless the other day after I got evicted from an apartment in Oceanside and landed in Los angeles, in a guest room of a friend who was on vacation in Europe.Always a Bedouin by nature, I was caught off guard by my homeless state of affairs, but decided that better things lie ahead. First, I spent 15 years in San Diego where I worked as an I.T.consultant and technical editor, mostly for defense contracts, and for both small and large companies still weathering the recession storms of the past ten years. So, it is now 2015, and I've collected four full rooms of stuff, and whittled it down to two 5 by 5 storage units at Extraspace storage in Oceanside and I was really proud of myself except I am still not too sure what is in those rubber maid storage boxes and I'm a little tired of living with or out of rubber maid storage boxes, so muchso,
that I plan to contact the rubber maid storage people and suggest they make coffins.

So, in going homeless, I realized I simply did not care where I landed as long as it was somewhere in "L.A."
and so here I am.  Lost Angeles, Hotel California, nowhere. I'm excited!

Firstly, they outlawed plastic bags used in EVERY store for bagging items, so if you don't have your own 'bag' you may get none.

Aghast, since I routinely use these for garbage, I was scrambling for  reusable shopping bags and found two in my possession but I'm just not happy.

Okay, I will cope with this environmental restriction, but it's a conundrum.

but wait!

Turn Plastic Bags into Gold, er, carbon

I watch Al Jazeera
mostly because they give all the subversive news of the world, especially America, and have a more global perspective AND actual footage. Almost like CNN used to be.

So, today, I heard a story out of Illinois

the next thing that happened to me in Lost Angeles:
And, then, I'm 'lost' all the time since I never invested in a GPS, so I will have to reconfigure that one.

But, otherwise, I'm excited about my new job and my apartment or hollywood bungalow.

Its an attack on Hollywood since the Chinese are taking over, but I'm really not too concerned with the cultural adjustment, but I'm done with being 'poor' and decided to pursue my passion, which is
Show_Bot, another robot comedy starring Suzi Shane, showrunner.
Don't ask.  It is a very involved business plan but $10k would get it up and running, and the script pilot is in development. See Scryptography.blogspot.com.

And, also, there is a drought and so water restrictions will also ensue.

I decided to bring on the downpour, as shamanic wolfwoman and make it rain.  My raindance involves,
some drumming, some chanting, alot of meditation, and mostly prayer.

And, it works.  Today it rains.

I love L.A.
So, it is now April 9, and after an IRS attack on the internet, all is well for me, since I was unable to file.
Everybody thinks that if they don't file (or pay) by April 15th, the IRS will come and sieze your assets on April 16th, but au contraire.
The site cannot handle the traffic, so nobody will get through anyway.
I now, routinely, file my taxes on April 17th, and the IRS never says anything about it.
Just relax...the government is not evil.
but to some people, computers and the Internet, definitely are.
Computers are slow, stupid robots.
And, don't get frustrated.
it is just mentally retarded computers are in control.

And, another thing.
I went on Facebook and discovered an old friend who apparently joined a cult.
I'm not concerned, but I am fascinated.
The cult is a religion based on money
and I have often joked and wrote about this - even to the point of starting my imaginary
CASH COW CONSULTING
practice
but she is for REAL>
its fine.
whatever.
People are finally beginning to realize that money comes from god.
which god, I'm not sure.
oh, by the way - still homeless,
Day 9
and counting
and
yet, staying comfortably with a family member who's head exploded when he tried to pay his taxes today.
Cheers
Nora
