My Random Thought: I go to get my hair cut today. I tell the lady i want it at a little past my shoulders....I leave and its ABOVE my shoulders. I look ridiculous! Way to short for me, but I guess it will grow out (eventually)
burgers on hoodoos old grill, corn on the cob and some rice was absolutely amazing tonight for din din...i cook some pretty good burgers if i must say.
yum - that sounds good - can I melt the PB in the microwave?
Sure can! But the line between melted and burned is VERY thin... keep checking it and stiring in short time bursts, but it is totally the easiest way...

It's hot as balls in my house which doesn't usually happen. Nice and cool out here in the yard. I've managed to put off installing my AC until now, but August is usually the deal breaker.
I just don't get the "other people aren't my responsibility" thing. I mean, I kind of understand it...but you can't go through life living that way. It's just kinda...sad.
When you get out of school and realize the enormous percentage of you earnings that go to taxes, you may start to view things a bit differently. Maybe not. It's just an observation.
On another note, I still can't believe how screwed small business owners are. I'm still paying back taxes for 2006 when I was a one man business. The way you get money back as a small business owner is with your assets, such as a vehicle, equipment, etc. I had none, I just used knowledge, and therefore I got quacked over on taxes. I just finished paying off 2005(my stimulus check did that). (Yeah, I did set money aside, but it wasnt close to enough..)
I also think that the state, the feds, and the locals should have to tax you in some sort've order. As in, if the feds tax you a certain amount... that amount is then gone, so the state can only tax you on what you have left, then the locals get their slice.

I like the idea. I would do the taxing in the reverse order though. You get more out of your local and state taxes than you do from the feds. They are the first to give it away - often to other countries completely. This country was designed to really function as many separate states in the context similar to a unity of small nations. The fed is only supposed to take care of things that the states can't handle on there own like defense. Still great idea.

my AC wasnt working up til a few days ago, its night and day. i can actually SLEEP now!
you can set it outside in that Mississippi heat and that should do it.
Yep - Elvis did the same thing in Tennessee, right before he'd make his fried peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwiches. Trust Elvis to love something so decadent.

I'd say this is true but not true of me. I have to admit that when I first got out of school and started working at my job, I was kind of disgusted by the amount of my paycheck that goes to taxes each month. But once I accepted it, I found it pretty easy to let go. I figure, from here on out, I'll be paying more and more in taxes every year, but I will still be bringing home more, too (theoretically, anyway). So, all in all, I'd be fine with the system the way it is, but what pisses me off is that I know my taxes aren't being spent the way I would want them spent. If I thought my money was being used responsibly, to help people, I'd have no problem with paying into the system. But it's not.
That's why I wholeheartedly agree with you here:

If the money went to the states first, it would probably be put to better use. Also, if I lived in a state that I didn't think was using its money properly, I could easily just move to another state that I thought was doing a better job. What's it called? "Vote with your feet." Something like that.
I'm the opposite of moderate, immaculately polished With the spirit of a hustler and the swagger of a college kid Allergic to the counterfeit, impartial to the politics Articulate but still would grab a ni**a by the colla quick
