Some very worthy people out there sacrifice everything to get the Thing, and never get it. Others get the Thing and ask, "is this all there is?" I've watched this one a couple of times by now. I've thought about this issue or something like it, oh, every day for the past 15 years or so. It's complicated.

@George-K I watched a TV documentary about this ritual on BBC Earth a year or two ago. A tad on the macabre side for my liking.

That is just crazy. Not very practical, but very cool anyway!

List of states that use the system.

Saw something on the internet this evening that said he was basically retiring, though it seemed pretty non-specific. LOL https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/steve-martin-retiring-this-is-weirdly-it

To play devil advocate, here is why the IRS does need additional money The cafeteria at the Texas IRS office. [image: 62a8ae966053710019ea2bf1?width=1000&format=jpeg&auto=webp] Article about walking through the office and how outdated it is There is a picture in the article above of the computer screens used and they have the old "green" lettering from the 1990's or so.

I often thought they should eliminate all deductions etc. You make this much, you pay this much.

@Ivorythumper lol. Bless your ️

Oh I just saw this. Happy Birthday Mik

I even remember the line. I was semi joking about it being shallow. I honestly don't understand why anybody wants to vote for such an unmitigated twat as Donald Trump. Because everybody who finds him funny and endearing is a difference species of human, incapable of being understood by the rest of us. Either that or you're a bunch of twats, too. I wouldn’t necessarily put that in the plural.

Weirdly, they got #6 wrong, which is only the glans clitoris -- the entire clitoris is a very large organ.
