Participanti did recently splurge on getting six (6) total garbage cans for yard waste removal. i cannot burn this crap fast enough.
i do have kind of an extravagant “gift” in mind for my 50th birthday.
I intend to discard virtually every single article of clothing I own and start over completely from scratch.
less is more.
going to keep my archimede watch though. and my carhartt jacket. and a few pair underwear.
Participanti like this car.
it’s good to wait a quarter century between buying cars. you can really tell the difference between your old car and the new car. the ipod port is so amazing. listened to tom waits singing about the cold cold ground in to work this morning…
but seriously, I don’t feel middle aged. i feel kinda young and perky.
August 12, 2012 at 9:51 AM in reply to: OT: Compelling new Reason to never borrow a dime for school #750093Participanti have a new idea for enhancing college performance.
let kid get the “dorm” experience by living close by campus in student type rental housing and hang out with student roommates and work for a living for a year before going to college.
in this way, he can party his ass off, kind of hang out at the college he’s intereste din, sit in on some classes, meet people, but not ahve to do any academic work, accumulate no debt, but kinda clear his head or cloud it, depending on how things go.
i probably shoulda done that.
Participantthe temptation to stick it to the car dealer as revenge is strong. and yet, we must treat others as we would like to be treated, in a fair way. this applies to not just nice people. the rule applies to everyone…even bad people…otherwise, we become shitty too….
this accord is pretty heavy, i think 4300 lbs. i read somewhere that it’s going to be a lot lighter for 2013, which i don’t want. I want big and heavy.
August 10, 2012 at 6:44 PM in reply to: Good fact based WSJ article on who pays taxes in America #750047Participantdavelj, im with you on that. whining about children is poor form. it’s like the very wealthy whining about small expenses. so many are dying to have children and cannot, and I can imagine how painful it must be for them to have to endure parents talking about children as a “problem”.
on the other hand, i did plenty of whining a few years ago about availability and cost of day care.
reality is, this is a pretty screwed up society to try to reproduce in. the financial disincentives are strong. There’s no help. you are on your own…
i was such an idiot. I figured , how hard can it be. lots of morons make it.yeah, well, they don’t make it very well…
it’s not really the nicest way to set up a society.
motivating and helping families is not a bad thing for a society.
August 10, 2012 at 6:42 PM in reply to: OT: Compelling new Reason to never borrow a dime for school #750048Participantdo not EVER sign on your kid’s loan unless you aare fully willing and capable of paying the whole thing….
August 10, 2012 at 6:20 AM in reply to: Good fact based WSJ article on who pays taxes in America #749985Participantif the cost of insurance is too high, maybe that business shouldn’t exist.
except for ob-gyn, i guess. someone’s gotta catch those priceless but slippery babies.
Participantno, this was just a mistake. i cannot see how it wasn’t. no bad publicity. it’s too smalla nd too much to me benefit.
feel so tucked away in this car, not driving like my hyper-defensive paranoid self. I drove my civic like i rode my scooter; looking for death atevery moment and ready for anything. of course the car may have been unprepared to respond, but i was at the ready.
this car is already getting me too relaxed. need more fear…

August 9, 2012 at 11:39 PM in reply to: Good fact based WSJ article on who pays taxes in America #749969Participantsometimes i think pizzas are too cheap and people are consuming too many of them. I think pizzas cost more as a percentage of income when i was a kid.
im not sure what vermin’s position is on pizza pricing but I bet it’s weird and probably ties in with his mandatory dental health program where federal agents can come into your house at any time, night or day, to inspect your teeth and gums.
August 9, 2012 at 11:38 PM in reply to: Good fact based WSJ article on who pays taxes in America #749967Participantsorry. i was less than clear. Vermin Supreme is a man running for President on a pony-based economy platform, coupled with a mandatory pony idnetification program. I think he’s the candidate for you. Write him in for 2012!
August 9, 2012 at 11:30 PM in reply to: Good fact based WSJ article on who pays taxes in America #749963Participantjstoesz, things willd efinitely change for you once vermin supreme is in office and has his mandatory pony for every American scheme in place. you will definitely have the correct inventives as we move toward a pony based economy.
the insurance hassle ahs nothing to do with taxes, or the work.
