Compare this to the Cincinnati Reds who had a swarm last month...while a lot of the press was on the antics of one of their players with a sprayer, that was just him having some fun. The sprayer was empty, he just went onto the field pointing it around.

And yet Phil Mickelson is known to tip the locker room guys and other course staff $1000 each, and not just when he wins.

It was this way in the US as well, but I believe more recently they’ve pretty much ended this deduction, unless you’re self-employed (which might still work for free-lance/1099 independent contractor.

There are also those that apparently think the ACA and Obamacare are different. The ACA is great, Obamacare is socialist etc.

Legislative branch is fully funded, so Congress and their aides etc still get paid.

Though I’d advise not trying to milk Knickers.

Yes, you do need yogurt starter as you really don't want just any bacteria. But, you can start with some commercial yogurt for the first batch. After that? Reserve some yogurt you've made for a next starter. Repeat as long as it stays alive.

“In their natural habitat” where gorillas don’t live in the same place as lions, and I see this image as just before the lion decides the giraffe or zebra are his own lunch.

I admit, I watch American Pickers and Pawn Stars. I have no illusions that pretty much everything is a set up, but I do hold out hope that the items themselves are legitimate. The little pieces of history and americana always have interested me. Now, if it turns out that the items they supposedly find and buy are…

How easy is it to end up with a $0 over or under withheld though? I end up over withheld by a few hundred dollars, which I understand is essentially a tax free loan to the government, but would rather that than owe a couple of hundred and I’m not sure I can get to the point of getting to the $1 threshold of…

With your luck, God would have a sick sense of humor and drop you at the Maui gas field, off the coast of New Zealand.

Exactly. I bet they’ve had to do the same procedure before. No doubt there’s climate change and no doubt we’re at least making it much worse but yeah, you can’t go by one event, one season to either prove or disprove.

When I do get a starbucks in the morning, I don’t wait in line either. I order it on the bus, walk in, grab my drink and head over to the office.

There’s a theater here that has an entire wing that is 21 and over only. Was the best way to see a Pixar movie.
