Not a popular opinion but I happen to agree with you on this. I believe most of us have done this time or two. perhaps some have grown out of this by now but some clearly have not. After all, even a little white lie, an exageration or an ommission is a lie.
Seriously Bobby, if you don't want people makiing comments on your personal life then it would be best to not post them here. these are private matters and I believe it would have been better to send her something in private.
yeah I am a US Cit and they do tax me regardless of where I'm at. Funny because in addition to Federal taxes, i pay state taxes to a state I haven't even been in for 7 years.
I left Malta about a year ago and was going to work for a firm there up until i found out I would be paying all those US taxes and then maltese taxes on top of that. the big double screw..
Don't get me wrong. I thought malta was a fine place and enjoyed my 3 years there working for the embassy. but I couldn't see getting taxed at those rates.
Once trust is lost, it's generally lost for good. Especially when one professes loyalty and then gets caught being anything but loyal. Perhaps it would be best to learn a lesson from this one and press on with life.
And, it might be helpful to change your profile after this post because I think most women, after having seen this thread wouldn't be too keen on trusting you. But that's just my opinion.
That's just it Robert. I'm fairly certain there will be no social security when I actually reach retirement age. The 1500.00 is the amount the fed takes per month in income and social security taxes. What the hell they're actually doing with it, I have not a clue.
I figured this out a long time ago and am trying to set myself up where I wont be counting on social security. We'll see how it works out.
Sounds like you did it the smart way. Congratulations!!!! It could not have been a simple lifestyle change but a lot of determination. Really, congrats on that.
Your point is taken Tom. I just think when any plan is presented it should be funded or at least have a funding plan to go along with it.
I don't think this plan will help people regardless of how they pare down the cost.
I love the comment about the 3/3 committee. Wasn't it Milton Berle who said "A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours". While Milton was a comic, I think his words will prove wise with this one.
That's all fine and good Tom but lets get down to basics. How the hell does Obama plan to pay for this. Why would anyone submit a "good Idea" with no idea how to pay for it. One would never purchase things on credit without the means or at least a plan to pay for it would they? Oh, disregard. That's what got us into this friggen mess in the first place.
They just announced the national debt would increase another 2 Trillion in the near future. This is without the burden of these health care reform plans. And God only knows how much that debacle will cost us in both money and care.
I should clarify. When I mentioned God I meant God, which is much different than the God or Messiah some believe Obama to be.
I would eventually make a choice but it would be my choice. I would not be with anyone who tried to limit somethng I enjoy and I couldn't respect someone for giving up something they enjoyed in order to please me.
I've been here off and on for a long time and have good friends here. I've made the mistake of staying away from friends because my significant other didn't like them, I'll not make the same mistake twice.
This is your first and only post. get out here and have some fun, tell some jokes, get in meaningful if not heated discussions with us. You'll be fine... Hope to see you out here..
When people drink the "real" person comes out. Inhibitions are gone or reduced and you get to see the real person. I'm looking for a hot woman that likes to fool around when she's drunk.
I think your thought of the day is spot on. I gave up on trying to change anyone a long time ago. Accept what you have and enjoy it the best you can. I've found life is much better that way.
