Taxes...and ramblings

Ramble ramble ramble...

Why is it that some states can get by with no income tax and balance a budget and others tax you to death and still don't have enough money to pay the sanitation engineers.

Did you know the Congress and the House agreed almost unanimously on a topic of vote a month ago. It was to give themselves a raise. Thats right, they talk about tax increases and budget deficits, but when it comes to the pockets of a political leader, $ is number 1.

All government officials should take a pay cut. There is no reason why the mayor of Cleveland should be making more than the Governor of NH.

Take Ohio's restaurant tax. Its 8% on Eat-in orders 0% on take-out or to go. Lower that to 4.5% on all orders and the state could more than triple its business. (all the Drive-thru stores and people "saying to go" just to get a better price.

Mac and Cheese?

Mac and Cheese on a pizza...??

Next of Kin

I have to share a joke with you. I don't know who wrote it or where it came from, but it's good.
A pastor went to his church office on Monday morning and discovered a dead mule in the church yard. He telephoned the police. Since there did not appear to be any foul play, the police referred the pastor to the Health Department.
They explained, "Since there is no health threat, you'll need to call the Sanitation Department."
When the pastor called the Sanitation Department, the Manager of the Sanitation Department said, "I can't pick up that dead mule without authorization from the mayor."
The pastor was not at all too eager to call the mayor, who possessed a very bad temper and was always extremely unpleasant and hard to deal with, but eventually, the pastor called the mayor anyway.
The mayor did not disappoint the pastor. The mayor immediately began to rant and rave. After his continued rant at the pastor, the mayor finally said, "Why did you call me anyway? Isn't it your job to bury the dead?"
The pastor paused for a brief prayer, and asked the Lord to direct his response. The Lord led the pastor to the words he was seeking:
"Yes, Mayor, it IS my job to bury the dead. BUT I always like to notify the next of kin first!"

Since I'm waiting

I'm on the phone with tech support, just like I have been for everyday this year. At work our computers upgraded themselves over Christmas, However they have had problems ever since. We thought we had the majority of it fixed the other day, well we just had a power surge and the problems are back.

Times like this I would be munching on candy...but I'm not ...

BYE

Start of my new diet...

So I've decided to change my eating habits. I have been eating alot of candy and drinking pop. (I actually went 3 years without pop at one point). Yesterday was the first day and I was almost perfect. I only had 1 bag of jelly beans (it was a gift) and no pop.

Today was another story, I had no pop, but ate a bag of cookies(the chewy kind). But thats okay because I had more milk today that I have had since the fall (thats only because I havent had time to get to Aldi and buy cereal)

I'm still not as heavy as I have been, I was up to 178 just over a year ago. I think it was last year. If not last year than the year before. It was part of my experiment to see if I could gain 30 pounds in 3 months...it only took one and a half. The only diffence now is I have no muscle, just flap.

I had an employee laugh at me yesterday while I was stirring sauce. I said whats so funny she said look at yourself while you stir. So I did, and sure enough it was funny. My whole body was shaken and movin, it was great.

My new goal is 6 months from now is to wieght the same, just lose my belly and maybe get some muscle back.

We Dont give a...well, you know

30 something

Today Angel is Twenty-Ten. Happy Birthday!

My weekend..

Work...Sleep...Tv...Sleep...

Oh, I did the dishes also.

Am I cool now??

Let me get started by saying...If you ever make fun of my spelling or grammar I wont be happy. Now that that's out of the way, I want to see what's so fun and cool about stuff like this...

I've just waited a couple of minutes and I feel the same...

Yep still the same...

I just laughed at myself. That must be it.

If you read this you chances are you know who my wife and I are. So I'll spare you.

And apparently I'll spare myself because I have to get to work.
