Well, There are many things you have to pay extra for, if you
are huge. Some examples: Food, Gobble more, pay more. Cars, if
you need a heavy duty vehicle to haul your ass, it costs more.
Clothes, big ones cost more. Medical, Bariatric walkers and
wheelchairs cost more. A bathroom scale heavy duty enough to
weigh a 400# lard ass is expensive. Probably many other huge
things.
 
You live in a giant sized body, expect to pay giant prices for
giant stuff.
 
In the case of airlines, just buy TWO goddamn tickets, and
raise the armrest between them. You'll have room for your giant
buttocks, and other passengers wont have half of your fat ass
in their laps :)

If someone is too tall to fit in the short seat spacing then the airline
should upgrade them or move them to an emergency exit where there is
more room. If someone is simply too fat to fit in a seat, then they
should pay for two, side by side and use an extension belt.

If you're big enough to fill two seats you should have to pay for two
seats ...

Actually, I not only pay the income tax by cheque but I take to the bank
for payment. That way I have a double paper trail. The CRA has screwed
up twice by assigning the money to the previous year. In one case, they
paid me interest on the overpayment, taxed that interest and charged me
a penalty for the year where the payment was supposed to go. My
accountant phoned them and they admitted the error but wouldn't correct
it until I sent in the evidence with several government forms.

My lawn guy and cleaning lady get paid in the universal currency most
prefer. CASH. Easy for them to count out and record so they can pay
their taxes properly.
 
As for taxes, there is a bank record and statement they got the money.

It's worth mentioning that electronic money transfer is more highly
developed and more frequently used in other countries. The U.S.
is far behind the rest of the world in that area. The Federal Reserve
has just released an instant money-transfer service:

True.
The only payment I've made in the last several years in Scotland, was to
the mason who worked on our garage conversion, and that was because he
preferred it that way.
Everything else has been by electronic transfer to the the recipient's
bank account, even the casual labourer we hired to do some
weed-whacking/strimming.

Family Dollar here sells beer and wine, not hard liquor. We don't have
"state stores". No hard liquor is sold on Sundays but you can buy beer
& wine. State laws regarding selling booze vary widely.

Your link is for subscribers only.
 
When I lived in PA that would never be done. Alcohol sales were rather
tightly controlled. It was cheaper in NJ so many people went there.
 
The original "state stores" were not even self service, they had a list
and the clerk went and retrieved it from the back. It was mid 1960s
when the first self serve opened. They did not card me when I bought my
first bottle of Seagram's 7 at age 20. Maybe it was the wedding ring
that got me by. That was 1966.

You should have your insurance co review the damage and decide what the damage is worth.
It may be totalled. Grab the cash, payoff the tow co and your private taxes, start fresh with the gas guzzling baby. It can be a good plan.

Nah, he needs to get the leaf ready, and looking good for the
next crash. It uses zero gasoline, remember? and it is INF-MPG.

It's a chick magnet. Remember Kimberly, the Pennsylvania
Avenue Walker? Sure, she didn't let him lick her butt hole,
but even just talking to him is as much as his creepiness can
expect.

If the tow co was nice, they tossed his inf plate in the front seat.

He probably thought "Canada - cold". :) I also hope nothing horrible
happened to him. I have no idea where I wrote his number down. It
should be in my old fashioned hand-written address book but it's not. :(

Exactly. I've smoked many briskets and they look black. No, not just
look, they are black. One of the main seasonings I use is black pepper
so even going in it is dark color.

Yes, flavour often comes at a price.

Even my 20+ year old car has cup-holders.
