    after filing my taxes with the service I use, they are self owned and local, I was pleased that my tax rate came in at 20%. after expressing my pleasure she reminded me that I live in OK.
    Therefor I also pay tax on every dollar I spend. EVERY DOLLAR. Now add in property tax, tax on my truck, and the list makes me sick. She took the time to estimate that my actual tax burden is closer to 40%.
    Afterword I got to thinking that we didn't even talk about social services or insurance of all types. I am willing to gamble, that after my 401k I live on about 40 cents of every dollar I earn.:eek:

    I so love working with pictures that are underexposed by at least 2 stops.....and yes I knew they would be as I using a lens with a max aperture of F/4 when F/2.8 or better would have been better with the available light, but I wanted the focal range the lens offered. So technically this does not fall under the proper criteria for this thread.
    If anything I am quite pleased with the results, and more inclined to "complain" about what I already knew - that my pro-sumer level DSLR is less than ideal at anything above ISO 800.

    You probably know it as "carpet."

    Those Canadians and their funny words, eh?
    (of course I am more likely to use "hosepipe" than the American equivalent, so I have no room to speak here).

    I'm stuck in this cabin-fever phase of this bitch of a winter, and I'm still seeing people posting about their vacations on Facebook, including my cousin who's posting about going to the Caribbean for the second time since December.

    I went on vacation to the Caribbean once, but it was late summer, so it's not quite the same thing.

    BTW...I have a counter-argument for those who think that people are narcissistic on the web.

    Yes, I'm going to talk about me.
    And others are going to talk about themselves.

    Who else are you going to talk about for the most part??
    You only know you.
    You can't talk for anyone else.

    If you're talking about your family and friends...they are YOUR family & friends.
    If you're talking about people you're working with or care about...they are ones YOU care about.

    Just like your opinion on the narcissists on web...is YOUR opinion...and the topic YOU are complaining about.

    The web in itself is a self-oriented environment.
    It has no impact or interest other than yourself.

    Reality is when you can say you're truly involved with others.

    Remember, you got on...you found the place of interest, you found the topic of your interest...and you've decided to make a post about it.
    So aren't you just as self-oriented as everyone else??

    That's the funny thing about life...you're trapped with really only one point of reference.
    Only what you can see, what you can absorb, what you can express, what you are interested in.

    Even when you're helping others...it's those you want to help.

    So, I'm going to stop worrying about it as much.
    And those who think you're thinking about yourself are thinking about their perspective, not yours.

    That's what I think. ;)

    If you have nearly twenty letters after your name, you should know what a paragraph is.

    Got a root canal done on Tuesday. It still hurts. When will this pain stop? :(

    Depends on how your mouth reacts to dental work. My mouth hates getting worked on, so I can usually anticipate a couple of weeks of headaches after a filling. My mouth took a month to feel right after a root canal.

    I'm really peeved right now. My husband, frantically trying to get his chores done, decided to wash towels on hot (right choice) right before I needed to take a shower (wrong choice). Plus, I only wash my hair once a week, so my Sunday shower is a lot longer than other showers. Now, I'm half-rinsed because the shower went cold two minutes in, and I couldn't get all of the Nizoral out of my hair.

    But in that way? I love you'll? It just sounds ten thousand kinds of crazy to my ears.

    If I order a local chocolate stout, do not fucking bring me a barley wine without asking. And sure as hell don't offer me a Stone IPA.
    I'm destined to be sober tonight. Fuckers.
