Comment on Passports and Fear by CC

Hey there. Ran across your blog. Noticed you are a dual citizen. Please google ” FBAR” and also on the IRS site – research the definition of a US Person. Since you have an american passport, even if you aren’t planning on ever living in the USA ever again…you still need to file your 1040s every year in the USA (for life) , PLUS the FBAR . Failure to do so can mean 5 yrs in prison and up to $500K in fines…definitely $10K per year per bank account fine if you have $10K or more total in bank accounts/RRSP/TFSA. If you haven’t been filing, you will need to file at least the last 6 years of both 1040s and FBARs. My husband (USA person, immigrated here, not yet a citizen) was caught in this and we have just completed all the complicated paperwork (it cost $2000K to pay H&R block to do it!). The US government is cracking down on those who are non-compliant, and have hired thousands of extra people to hunt those persons down. They are even asking at the border now – if you have filed your taxes. The treasury – if you haven’t filed your FBARs – will send out a warrant and you can actually be apprehended then and there at the border. I would look into it if I were you. It’s pretty scary stuff. No other country except the USA has these requirements….quite draconian….but nonetheless….is in their law. With increasing computerized sharing cross border – it is something that is going to catch up to not only dual citizens, but those who have one american parent….even if they have never been in the usa.

I work Sunday morning/afternoon (opening shift after working closing shift the night before). Going to the BBQ is not likely. Hopefully, we can hang out again one day.

It is.

There’s a myth where Lizard sodomizes Coyote and it uses the phrase “anus-fuck” like 15 times.

Blows my mind.

That sounds like a very interesting book.

I don’t know; I just don’t. ;P I hate guacamole too. Always ask for it to not be anywhere near my burritos/tacos/nachos/etc.

And…soon? I’m so busy right now; in class M/W, in Powell River most weekends. Are you coming to the Orc BBQ on Sunday? I should be there, though not in costume, I don’t think. Didn’t have the money or time to get it together. Loan is late.

How can you not like avocados? And when are we going to hang out again?

I’m sorry that you went through this. I definitely would contact them and let the places know that you were fat-hated.

I’ll tell you this. If this had happened and I had been there, I would have recontacted that Foot-in-Mouth Disease that I’ve been trying to ignore/work on and bitched the fucker out.

You definitely should contact Tim Horton’s/Coldstone’s and complain. If you don’t, they have no reason to change or to act to change things.
