They don't have front doors? Is that another very special feature of
Bothell design?

Create a profile for a fake personality so they remember

Alex screwed up the profile because Alex is a fake.
 
Bottom line though...Alex has posted here way too often
and I read all. Over time, his real personality gives
him away, just a little bit at a time.
 
No big deal though and none of my business. I read
all for amusement.

Can you tell me what the threshold is between tax-free and taxable
income?

You made the same mistake a few days ago when you called Julie a 'meth

You could look at that an entirely different way - the USA has a large
super wealthy bunch who thrive on others poverty and aim to keep those
people down.

No. There are people just like Gary has described. There are also
people living on welfare and living in public housing who are making a
lot of money in the illegal drug business. They have money for drugs,
and parties, bling and fancy cars, but living in subsidized housing.
They have more money that a lot of the people who are paying the taxes
to support that housing, and for the other family members on welfare.
 
Don't go flying off the handle thinking I am saying they are all doing
it, but there are some. There was a stink in Toronto recently when the
city started evicting families from public housing because someone in
the family was involved in drug gangs.

Remember when they said the homeless were all welcome in their stores?
 
Perhaps the PAYING customers are changing their model for them.

I might suggest that they were put in so that those lobbyists could get
a break for their companies but that their benefit was obscured in the
debate over the bill. Bills are often dealt with in omnibus packages
and a well designed loophole can slip through without anyone noticing.

I stopped buying coffee from restaurants many years ago, it's all weak
and way over priced. The one coffee I'll buy is Manhattan Special but
not many places sell it. I prefer to brew my own. For our morning
coffee I'll brew a full pot in our Mr. Coffee... sometimes I'll use my
Italian espresso maker with Bustello. Oh, I've never been inside a
Starbucks... and I'd never drink coffee from a paper/plastic cup.

They should be on equal footing to every other coffee shop. I don't
blame Starbucks for taking advantage though, I blame the laws that have
the loopholes. Fix them. I never cheated on my taxes but certainly
took every possible deduction and expect a business would. I also have
money invested in stocks so if the companies do well, I do well. I just
expect them to follow the laws.
 
Next up: Low wages. We don't have to accept them.

Where did I say that? Poor people are benefiting from the wealthier
people. Their kids are sitting next to the better to do kids and get
the same education opportunity.
 
If you have health issues, physical or mental, you may not be able to
earn a decent living so we help. If you don't earn a good living
because you don't want to get your ass out of bed, you are on your own.
 
Fact is, wealthier people pay more taxes and the poor people get the
same benefit. Not a question of it being good or bad, it just is. No
matter your income or tax payments, everyone gets to sit of the same
park bench paid for with tax money.

I guess we have better representatives in Congress.
 
The top four states also have some of the largest personal incomes.
Where to the billionaire hedge fund managers live and make their
fortune? They make more money and pay more taxes than needed to support
their states. Thanks for sending it here. I certainly sent a lot of it
living in CT so I'm just getting some of the benefits of 40 years of CT
tax money. Sort of kissing my own ass. Feels good.

Schools aren't a very good example. Schools in areas where parents don't
have the wherewithal (time, money, inclination) to insist on good education
don't provide a good education. Sure, poor kids in Ann Arbor have the same
educational opportunity as engineers' kids, but that's not the case in
Detroit.
 
Yes, it's to some extent the parents' fault. But the burden falls on
the kids anyway.

NJ needs more/bigger military bases. Then they'd get to keep more of their
money.

Woosh, Gary. You're comparing apples and oranges.
 
Owning a property is nothing like renting one. You and your army
fellows were all on the same footing, tenants paying rent; none of you
had any capital interest in the property.
 
That's different from Kuthe and his housemates. He owns the property,
they don't. They pay rent, he doesn't. They can't throw him out; he can
throw them out. If the roof leaks, tenants will moan to the LL but he
alone is responsible for the repair and the cost.

Just curious; if you have to get in the emppty tub, close the door
and sit, before you turn on the water...isn't there a nasty time when
it's coming out of the tap either too hot or too cold? How do you get
round that?

Run the water first with the stopper out until it's a comfortable temperature,
then get in the tub, close the door, and fill the tub.

Any leftover meatloaf here never sees the inside of my freezer.
I'll just snack on it for days. I'll cut off a slice, put
in a bowl with dish lid, and microwave it back to hot.
 
Better to me than a sandwich. I'd be afraid to use some
for spaghetti type dish too.
 
My largest is a 5lb meatloaf. It's always gone within 3 days.
 
I do the same with homemade lasagne in a 9X13 pan.

Wow!!! It all must be jolly good!!! I have only made meatloaf a few
times but we didn't really like it much. I tried a few recipes but have
dumped them:(
 
Please share yours ?

i planted 12 kinds of peas this spring and not sure
if any of them were good or not, but to try them out.
very happy so far to see at least one kind is very
good for pods, but now i have to keep myself from
eating the rest of the pods because i need the seeds
for the next generation. :) some peas aren't all
that great cooked after they are dried, but they
can work as emergency rations if you run out of
everything else. i won't have enough of any that
i grew this year to even contemplate eating them
cooked after they're dried. it's a pretty small
patch.
 
for beans i planted 44 varieties/cross-breeds and
experiments this year, so some of them i know are
edible as both fresh beans and dry beans, some are
useful as shellies (beans taken from the pods when
they are still green and fresh before they have
started to dry) and those are good too. lima beans
are very good as shellies. anything we don't eat
fresh is usually edible as a dry bean.
 
more than 2/3rds of what i planted is edible as
fresh beans and most of those are also known to
be edible as dry beans too. i have to stock back
up. :) i don't know how many beans i planted
total but it was a few thousand. dunno how many
will give back results - that is what some of
the experimental and crosses were planted for to
figure out what they will do here.

Thanks very much for that:))
 
Do you plant the dried beans etc that you buy? Or do they have to be bought
specially for planting?
