h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It seems that my ex and his future bride have decisded to buy a house. How interesting! Especially considering they have been seeing each other for a year and for the entire time we were married we were "too broke to move into a larger place" let alone buy a house.

Considering how put out he was about having to part with "his" money (in actual fact, my half of "our" money) when we divorced, I cannot help but invision his consternation when (not if) this relationship goes pear-shaped and they have to sell "his" house.

Recently, I got a bil for an extra $2700.00 on my taxes for 2001 when I was reassessed. Apparently, I was given incorrect advice as to whether I had to pay tax on my spousal support. Apparently, I did.

After being rather indignant and put-out, I realized that I had forgotten to declare the money I had received.

As he is notoriously paranoid about the "revenooers" and more than a little "cautious" with his hard earned gold, my ire at his getting a tax deduction for having to help me financially for 9 months, only mildly tempered my glee at the thought of his having to toddle off down all his receipts to Revenue Canada to sweat out his 'splanation about why he had claimed the deduction.

I can only hope that the demand from Revenue Canada came on a Friday night so that he had a whole weekend to enhance his ulcer over it.

I'm not bitter, I swear!

Why did you get divorced???
