He had quite a career! So sad to hear of his passing yesterday.
Taxes - ugh. Last year I got one of the dreaded IRS letters referring to something wrong on my tax return from three years before. And I had to pay for an accountant visit to prove nothing was wrong. Incredible. #stillmad :)- Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 3:11:00 AM PDT

I loved some of Mickey Rooney's work, damn yet another sad loss.- Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 4:18:00 AM PDT

He really was a talented giant in the business wasn't he? And quite the rascal with all those wives.

My favourite role he played was in the madcap comedy, It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world!

It's almost unbelievable that Mickey Rooney started his career in 1927. I doubt very much we'll ever see similar again. He certainly had a long, long career. He was in the process of making a movie when he died. Incredible!
He may have only been 5ft 2 inches tall, but he was a giant!- Tuesday, April 8, 2014 at 3:23:00 PM PDT

I just had one of those tax reminder letters here for the UK taxes too. We have until October to get our filings done.

From what I have read of his last years, the saddest part was how his family mistreated him. I know he testified about elder abuse regarding one stepson but had the other also mistreated him and kept him from his wife? I don't know but it sounds like a sad ending for a long and very full life :(

I'm with you on the taxes. This is my first year with the social security and I sure hope I'm doing things right!
I always loved Mickey Rooney and felt sad about his later years -- but he never topped fighting. A great talent.- Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 5:19:00 AM PDT

Mickey Rooney was a legend. I feel so sad about the elder abuse that was perpetrated on him. Your reference to taxes reminded me of this poem:
The Audit
In April I calculate poetry
the way others do their taxes
as though the world was overdue
for a good accounting
Bursting to put into words
what the birds already know
with each emerging daffodil
I mark spring’s growing windfall
Its affluent bloom
and excess of green
are annual assets
we all get to claim- Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 6:36:00 AM PDT

Mickey Rooney... another sad loss.- Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 6:42:00 AM PDT

we seldom do our taxes until October (with a deferment) and I will get antsy about September. Ugh.
Mickey Rooney gave me a lot of fun memories with his early movies. I hope he died quickly and without pain.- Thursday, April 10, 2014 at 8:07:00 PM PDT

I'm new to taxes and happy that most of mine is taken out at source but expect I shall have to enlist the help of a little man soon.
An important part of my childhood was Mickey and Judy in the lovely Andy Hardy films. What a body of work and he always seemed so amiable.- Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 12:28:00 AM PDT
