Haven't had any more deaths for a while and we seem to have stopped at 10 so far for the year, although the one in a coma who is moving to long-term care worries me. If there aren't any more hospitalizations or funerals, I tentatively plan on coming back to the office regularly starting next week.

Please, pray for all these families involved. A heartfelt thank you to those who have been patient and understanding.

Best grandma I could have ever hoped for. Never a cross word to her grandchildren, a great cook, kind and patient but stubborn and sassy enough she wasn't a pushover. She taught me to sew and crochet, and many summer evenings were spent snapping beans and hulling peas when I was little. (They misspelled her name in the header and therefore the URL. 🤦)

Another relative passed on June 28th and another on June 29th. My grandma thus makes my eighth for 2026. I will tentatively be back at the office on Thursday, depending on further funerals and memorials.

Celebrate the life of Maragret Boatwright, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Morgan Funeral Chapel & Crematory.

I had a relative unexpectedly pass yesterday and another expectedly moved to palliative care. This will be funeral six and seven for me this year. Please, be patient with me. I am getting to your messages as quick as I am able amid all the deaths, chaos, and mayhem.

Obituaries possibly to follow to prove I'm not making this up.

The office will be closed for a minimum of two weeks to deal with a family emergency. Thank you for understanding.

Many remember Max Teal as the gentleman who ran the front office here from 1998 to 2017, making copies, answering the phone, wrangling appointments, full of good-natured mischief, and bantering back and forth with his wife, Tula Teal, inbetween her appointments. He kept a pair of photographs on the wall, the one featured here, and the other with his hair and beard an absolutely scraggly mess, labeled as "before and after tax season".

My grandparents, Max and Tula Teal, have now both passed. They will be missed.

View Max Teal's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

Scam alert! If you receive a notice from the IRS with a QR code on it, shred it and use it to line your rabbit cage. Or compost it or something.

Executive Order 14247 says that all tax refunds must be direct deposited. This has lead to some hiccups in deposits being directed correctly and some people will receive a CP53E notice to have their funds moved along to where they need to go. Scammers have created a very good replica of the IRS notice (and other notices) to attempt to have you divulge your banking information to them. Do not scan the QR code. Do not call the number. If there are any issues with your banking information, it can be corrected through your online account with the IRS at irs.gov.

Over 1.4M Americans received IRS Notice CP53E in 2026. Learn to spot the fake QR code scam and the only secure way to unfreeze your tax refund at irs.gov.

"No smoking" means "no smoking". It does NOT mean "light up next to the 'no smoking' sign and open windows, leave your filthy discarded cigarette on a log on the porch, and maybe a fire won't happen".

The office is now very strictly non-smoking. Anybody caught smoking on the premises, especially if they litter, will be asked to leave. I am allergic to smoke and I am tired of getting sick due to inconsiderate and selfish people.

The office will be closed next week and will reopen on Monday, April 27th, to deal with some pressing family matters that had to take a back seat during tax season.

Starting with taking the mutt to the vet tomorrow for some overdue maintenance and tackling the jungle outside that thrived during the end-season chaos.

Squirrel thinks they're being sneaky. 🤭

Gave 'em a wee boop on the toe. I can now scratch off "fist-bumped a wild chicken-of-the-tree" on the bingo card of unexpected encounters.
