If you can live with that, after you retire, on a fixed income, you will be used to it -

I just thought this was funny -

From the Internet:

"A State Trooper pulled an 87 yr old woman over for speeding. As he looked at her drivers license he was surprised to notice that attached to it was a conceal weapon permit. Taken aback, he couldn't help but ask if she had a gun in her possession. She replied in her crackly voice that she indeed did have a 45 automatic in her glove compartment. The trooper then asked if she had any other weapons to which she replied that she also had a 9mm Glock in her center console. The shocked trooper asked if that was all and the little old lady held up her purse and replied, "Well, I do keep a 38 special in my purse." Finally the astonished trooper asked, "What are you afraid of..? and the little old lady smiled and replied, "Not a Fucking thing." :o)"

Since charitable contributions are a deduction and not a credit you have to give $1.00 to save $0.20 (or whatever your effective tax bracket is) on your taxes. We give generously already, so we'll just keep the $0.80.

In the end, I did what I always do, basically broke even which is always my plan. I owed a little to Uncle Sam but got back a little more from Aunt Georgia.

I'll find out. I gotta get this done. Sigh.

Could have been my Grandmother. She always had a pistol in her purse or pocket, a shotgun in the trunk (or "frunk") of her Corvair, and slept with a shotgun next to her side of the bed.

She and my Grandfather used to sit on the back porch of their farmhouse and see who could shoot a ground hog first with their 22 for fun.

I used to shoot groundhogs with my .303 Lee Enfield. They blowed up real good.

Fucking M$ I waited 2.5 years and they finally updated the Surface Book 1 firmware to work with the Surface Dial on the screen (not even advertised anywhere I just thought I would check it for some reason). Not that I really would use it much for anything.

Good to know... I have a SB2 as my primary workstation at work. May have to get one, but don't even know why....
