Ed:
Thanks so much for taking this on and getting some answers. I think the
answer is to repost them to the sister site.  Can this be done?

Is anyone here up on how to do taxes?
If so I have a few questions as to filing an amended return  1040x

1. How do you deduct your mortgage interest?
2. Can you deduct the property and/or local tax?
3. I know you can deduct medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of gross  income
but how do I do it?


I have read the instructions but I'm lost. I can do basic taxes w/o  all the
deductions but after that I get very confused.
I need the Taxes for Dummies explanation. Please know my math skills  are
very basic
I am hoping to get a few hundred dollars off of this that can pay a  few
bills.

Thanks
Narice

Teaching Nate to drive has been very interesting. He
has not driven much since he recieved his license
officially. Yes he has a license to drive. He j
has taken our "work" van and have driven it to school
a couple of times because he was late for classes.
Other than that he really hasn'r been that interested
in driving. But I would love to teach your son to
drive. He is about 15 isn't he? So I have some time to
prepare. Maybe I will have Nate teach him, since he
will be well experience by then.
Other than that Janet has been fine. She spoke with
the surgeons at Cook County Hospital recently and she
will have her colonscopy now in January rather than
November because they are behind. The machine broke or
something.they already sent her a bunch of stuff to
cleaan her out...yuk.
Anyway thanks for stopping in at Janet's group. You
sound like you are doing well. I am sure Janet will
respond to your post later.

Karima, I am wishing you all the luck in the world that your house
sells for all the money you are asking for it. Also that your move
goes easily and the drive is a safe one. I just wish that you did not
have to sell so much of your personal belongings to make this all
come true. But then we all have more stuff that we hang on to that we
do not need. You are a strong lady to go and make your dreams of
moving come true. God Be with YOU on this and Bless every part of
this. Ingrid

Well, I got the realtor himself bounced from my house and have individual
contracts with five other local realtors.  I like all of them.  I have decided
on a day to leave....????? ready?????    December 3rd and you know what is
funny, I don't even know what day of the week that is.  It is my friend Joe's
birthday.  He is Catherine's brother-in-law.

My daughter had the closing on her house yesterday and I was with her and they
are furiously painting and she is having wood floors put in and then she will
come get the stuff she is buying from me.  I have managed to squirrel rent money
away for the apartment and am going into the city next week to sell a diamond to
make some more cash; I also sold my mink coat but that is at my girl friend's in
Oklahoma.  I also sold a lot of stuff on Ebay.

Wish me good blessings from the Lord and take good care of yourself.

Love, Karima

   Karima, I know for a fact that you CAN break the contract with your
   existing realtor. I did that when I was selling my last house. I
   became very unhappy with her. I just told her I wanted to break the
   contract. Then I just listed with a different realtor. Are you going
   to change realtors? I hope your house sells quickly and for the most

I know I ask alot of questions but I have another one.  Has anyone had
any experience with MD Anderson in Orlando, FL?  I was wondering if it
is the same quality as the center in Texas.  Thanks

Jane

Narice, I hope that Phil gets some relief from the rash. But then it
is good since they say that it means the chemo is working. The poor
man to have to endure this....
   When will the interview be aired? I do hope that people will come
to realize the importance of testing. I sure wish I would of taken it
more seriously earlier. Ingrid

I do not like Noni juice myself.  Bleck.  And no, I drink the essiac straight
out of the refrigerator with distilled water...2 oz each twice a day.  I don't
sweeten it.  Some folks have laughingly said it tastes like dirt; I think it is
fine.  A close friend even gave it to her son when he was 8 and had cancer; he
is now going on 19.

   Hi, Karima. I wanted to reply to your message on Noni juice, but there are so
many messages in this group that I got lost. heh

   I think I was most worried about the juice being bottled in Hawaii and sitting
in hot warehouses, not knowing if it was expired. But if it is bitter, as people
say it is, I know my husband would not drink it.

   I have read the info on essiac tea from the Internet. It sounds interesting.
Is the essiac tea bitter? Do you add sugar or honey or sugar substitute? TIA

Floressence.  I used to buy the pre mixed herbs and make it but the time took
too long.  Two oz in am and 2 oz in pm.

     Not pooh poohing at all Just beware it does not CURE anything.
     That is where I have disagreements.
     Otherwise unless your doctor specifically says no if you want to use  it go
     for it!
     Natural foods and remedies are good for a lot of things just not  always
     cures.

     As for Noni I haven't tried it but hear it is bitter. If you go to  the
     websites there are sometimes false claims. If you are interested you  are
better
     off going to a place like GNC or a health food store where the  sales people
     know the products and can advise you on what is best for  you.
     There are some marketing companies that use false claims to sell even 
though
     the product itself such as Noni may NOT make such a claim so just  be
careful
     who you are dealing with.
     May be better to deal directly with a salesperson or a doctor who  treats
     with natural products than order over the web.

     Hope this clears things up. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
     Have a cup of tea on me. By the way what does Essiac do?
     By the way

     Dear Narice,
     I know you have gone through so much with Phil  but I just can't go along
     with all your nay saying in regard to Aloe,  Noni and probably other natural
     helps.  I am a firm believer in  using all these natural aids.  I don't use
Noni
     because I don't  like the way it tastes.  But I take PawPaw (which in
Oklahoma
     they  use to kill roaches in barns!) and I am taking the Essiac Tea which
many
     people pooh pooh and then of course there is the Reliv which is a food
     product in a can which  makes no claims other than helping your  body to
heal
     itself and they have many, many testimonials from people  who are 8+ years
from
     original diagnosis.  I have had to stop some  of the Reliv until I recover
more
     from the take down surgery.  I  don't think saying all they are doing is
     taking their money.  I  truly believe in the efficacy of some of these
products.
     NONE say  the cure cancer, they just report success stories.  I took Aloe
for
     months before and after my initial surgery and absolutely know it helped 
with
     my recovery.

     Just sharing my  opinion.

     A question for  everyone. Does anyone drink Noni Juice? I am at a
     vitamin website and the ad says: Noni Juice is a Hawaiian juice  that
     helps to support immune, cell and joint health.  Noni may also help
     soothe body aches and pains while  also helping to relax the body.
     Noni  Juice is  recommended as a way to maintain overall health. The
     label  says  drink 1 ounce per day from 32 oz. bottle. I am wondering
     if this is  something that people having chemo  treatments would be
     able to tolerate. I  am not sure if  it is a clear liquid. If anyone
     has info, please post  here.  Thank you.

I tried many things for the rash as I had it quite heavily.  I found
that caladry or calamine helped a bit.  I also tried Aveeno, gold bond
cream, lamosil, powder and a few others.  Nothing really helped.  The
rash on my back and chest did not usually itch though.  I ended up
shaving my hair to about an inch because my scalp kept getting
infected.  The nurse who headed the research dept. at the cancer center
said she had heard of people dabbing the spots with head and
shoulders.  I did not try that one.  It has been 6 weeks since I
stopped erbitux and you can still see the spots although they have
faded some.  Erbitux did clear up the mets in my liver while I was on
it.  Now that I am off it I have the beginnings of one spot in my liver
again.  Good Luck.  Both Mike and Phil are in my prayers.

If this does not work it is under their complementary/alternative med.
section.  I have looked up alot of supplements and gotten good info
there.

I have just written your name and Sams' on the list. I will be sending the list
Sunday evening, but can always add someone at the last minute on Monday.
I think the weather will cooperate for you and I on Monday. Suppose to be clear.
This is the only thing I know to do to help. I just want to "fix" everybody so
badly. I am coming up on my 2nd anniversary of being diagnosed with uterine
cancer with spread to pelvic lymph nodes., Stage 3C, Grade 3 very aggressive. So
my treatments were aggressive, thus, I'm left with intestinal parts missing from
radiation damage. That's why I'm here on this list:)
anyway, I do believe there is power in prayer and let's do it:)

Love to you and Sam,
Nancy J

Nancy, please ask the adawehi to pray for Sam and Deb. He is a 62
year old man from eastern Kansas. I agree it is a special night of
the new moon. Beautiful. I hope that we see the moon here and it is
not cloudy. God bless the adawehi and the prayer warriors. God bless
you, Nancy, for the work that you do. TY
~Deb from Kansas

I think you are all right about putting our numbers on the internet.
My number is all over the net too with the horse breeding biz we
have. But yes it would be great to have several keepers with our
personal phone numbers. So how about it Donelle. Want to be a keeper?

I am no doctor, but I recall somewhere that the 5-FU makes you more sun
sensitve and you burn easier. So I would use a cream or spray on
instead. Sure would hate for you to get a burn. Ingrid

So sad. Seems now this is really coming out to the public. Hopefully
parents will be more aware and watch their kids more closely as well
as talk to them. My heart goes out to all the parents who have
endured (including You) the deaths of their beloved children. Ingrid

I'm sure you are still feeling some post surgery pain but overall it  looks
good.
So happy for you.
Prayers for continued recovery and good health.

Oh my god.  I am so glad I didn't do this.  Instead I bought 2  wonderful
body exfoliating products and a wonderful tanning lotion.  Also,  some new
foundation in a color a little darker than pasty pale.  Ha  Ha.  Love you all,
Patricia

Patricia are  you currently on chemo??

Learned this the hard way Joe sat out for 10 min one day while on chemo  and
got BURNT!!! he looked like a lobster

Well, now we get the side effects. The acne rash, which is actually  more
like heat rash so far on Phil's back and shoulders. Stomach bloating  and
constipation, and fatigue.

In the whole scheme of things we realize that this is a little  thing and
actually could well mean that despite the discomfort the Erbitux  is indeed
working.
Of course it is still uncomfortable for him.

The TV interview went well although I wish the doctor had been a  little more
convincing about the need for testing even at younger ages  like 20 or 30. He
stuck to the line that this is necessary when one has  history of cancer but
not as a general rule. Unfortunately we were not  interviewed together and
could not dispute his argument with facts that  people have been diagnosed in
their 20's and 30's with stage 3 & 4  colon cancers.

We still stand by testing for every adult and have even received a  few notes
thanking us for insisting on it.
