DD>> Have you thought of getting in a boarder?

BL> ROFL! No... but I've got a dog.

>> Then feed the "vegetables and stuff" to the dog....

JT> Does Jess count as a dependant?

DD> Not to the ATO I'll bet.

 What a pity I didn't think of that earlier! I'm a great believer in
creative tax deductions. Jessica Pearl Lawrence... now *there's* a
sensible deduction. Jess is seven now... just started Primary school.
She's a pretty smart dog. I reckon she'd go okay.

 She was named "Pearl" after an aunt. A human Lawrence aunt, that is.
My cousin likes animals, so I named Jess after her mother.

Regards,
Bob
