Awwwww!
Indecently cute.
Ai canz countz to twenny.
“Will work to keep from beheading people.”
Said no panhandler’s sign ever.
I know, I know, there are other threads for that. So sorry. I’ll go back to my cage.
Kind of clever.
I’ll call that high praise and go get my swelled head now.
;)
It would be fun to see a Photoshop Twitter campaign a’la “Where’s Brian Williams” called “Jihadi Panhandlers” or something with similar signs.
If any of you know how to make such a thing happen, feel free to pilfer, lift, pocket, or outright steal the idea.
Srsly? It’s supposed to get down to 2 degrees F tonight? In NYC?
We’ve already had water mains bursting in the area, including one impacting my apartment the night before last.
I don’t think this city was built for this kind of cold.
And only a little bit of snow to show for it.
Oh, well, at least I’m not in Boston.
I’m supposed to have 7 degrees tonight.
Checking in from LV.
The Strip did a tribute to Jerry “Tark the Shark” Tarkanian, last night and it was really touching. For three minutes the casinos went “dark” in sequence and the High Roller Wheel went “Runinn’ Rebel Red” for the duration, since it is too high to go dark, says the FFA.
There was a basketball game last night, and at half-time, the entire Thomas and Mack center cleared out into the parking lot, waved white towels with Tark’s shark fin, and watched the lights around the arena go out in sequence.
Great tribute to a great coach. I’m just glad they inducted him into the Hall of Fame while he was still healthy enough to enjoy it.
Helping Busdaddy with the racecar. She’s going to get new shoes along with the new engine. It must be nice to get a tax refund...
If you have a water line that is on an outside wall, you can leave a trickle of water running all the time, and wrap the line in towels to help insulate it. It may stop the freezing. You could also run some water in the bathroom. Not all faucets, just one.
Just sayin’. You probably already thought of this...
Ping to #771
Hope you have a nice day with the racecar!
You can’t get a tax refund unless you pay tax ...
Exactly. My income is too low for that. Has been since 1998.
Good stuff, that.
In our apartment all pipes are well insulated. I don’t know about the work building.
The main that broke Tuesday night was underground, but there was a grate above it.
I'm thinking that's not true. There was a refund under W. and Pelosi or someone insisted that people who didn't pay should still get it. The refund went through with the payments for those who had not paid taxes.
And, of course, there's the latest news about undocumenteds filing for 2 years when they weren't here and getting the EITC.
Amerika is SUCH a great kountry!
I got a “tax refund” under the guise of a stimulus payment, but it went directly to a student loan that had been on hold, pending decision of disability. Subsequently, they attached my monthly income for $155 which was almost a quarter of my income.
And still, they didn’t make a decision. In fact. I had to submit medical paperwork twice more in the next two years, because the requirements had changed, while the Heads were making a decision and making me a pauper. They finally decided I would never work again (at MY age???) and deemed me “totally and permanently disabled.”
And every year, they send me paperwork to sign to say I haven’t had gainful employment for the last year. This is “supposedly” the last year of “verification,” they say.
So this year, (2014) I saved all my receipts to try and use them (legally) as a way to get a refund. I won’t know until I run the numbers, which will be in a few more days. Since the IRS is now the bill collector (illegally) for the Treasury Department, they may decide to take that.
And no one recognizes off-sets to income when it comes to rent and stuff like that there.
Yeah, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking. I need a nap.
See, your mistake was in not going to work for Al Sharpton. If you’d done that the IRS wouldn’t have asked for anything, nobody would have touched your student loan, and you’d have been getting refunds this whole time.
Of course, you’d have had to sell your soul, but ...
If ‘Face didn’t sell her soul to Harry Reid, she certainly wouldn’t sell it to Al Sharpton.
