and though you lose some of the tax deduction, the $300 you save is tax free in the sense that you get 300 more each month and don’t pay any tax on it.

22,000 to buy it down to 417,000.

i don’t have an accountant.

it’s not quite 16% cause i lose some of the tax deduction, right?

also i have a longer loan.

but i think im fine with the longer loan.

and if the house is destroyed it’s bad.

but it probably won’t be.

One of the formative experiences of my life was a year spent working long hours for a guy who gave expensive marketing seminars. Dude made money.

[scaredyclassic]

i remember as a kid things having more value. just having some thing. i had a bunch of them, but they were more valued by me than things my kids have. things are less scarce now.

i think squatting improves character more than any motivational seminar.

that was what made me very sympathetic toward uncle ho in the documentary. he asked for our help, we said no, then there was a promise to have free elections but when it was clear that uncle ho would win, we said no elections. I guess we only like elections when someone we like wins. and then we have come to kill everyone to promote democracy.

it’s difficult to feel like the US was in the right in Vietnam after watching the documentary. I guess the rationale was communism is so evil that if everyone in Vietnam has to die to send a message to china and the USSR, then that’s ok.

i had no particular preconception because I didn’t know Dien Bien Phu from Egg Foo Young or to be honest why the heck we were over there in the first place at all. Maybe someone tried to tell me in HS but I was probably thinking about girls.

Uncle Ho seemed like a very patient and thoughtful fellow.

although there are hidden costs to being married, i think you save money overall. also, men will live slightly longer, probably because their wives will bug them to go to the doctor until they do so when they feel that giant tumor on their husband’s back. probably worth the 500,000 tax break.

sure you have the cost of kids that often come with marriage, but frankly, i probably wouldn’t be able to keep a steady job if i didn’t have a family. i doubt i’d get out of bed every morning. so the financial benefits outweigh the costs, for me…

Last nite I got this weird church junk mail with a “prayer rug” saying I’d get money blessings but only if I returned the rug ( paper Jesus poster). I sent it back cuz I really want to see their follow up. Anyone seen this?

I think in ca prius batt warranteed to 150k. Friends batt died at 147,000 miles and got it replaced.

[scaredyclassic]

Ho chi minh comes off seeming like a nice guy in the documentary at least thru 1967 where I’m up to.

[scaredyclassic]

I agree. Sometimes cat scratch fever just plays spontaneously on my head.

Ted nugent just said he’d be dead or on jail if Obama gets reelected.
