The sun is poison and will kill us all.

I hereby award you a psych PhD. 

There’s probably a psych PhD to be earned for someone who can figure out why tax policy is such an emotional issue for people. 

These are all good practices, but they are different from a balance sheet like in the article.

:(

That’s not great, but also not surprising. People do that with everything. I know a guy who just died from a heart attack and when his wife was cleaning up his old papers and messages, she found unopened correspondence from his doctor basically pleading with him to get treated for heart disease. He didn’t want to…

Good stuff. I’d add that before you start with your balance sheet, decide whether you will record your assets at book value or fair market value. For example, if you purchased your house 10 years ago for $100K - book value, but think you could get $150K for it now - fair market value, you need to pick one and keep…

The broken leg preschool kid’s parents are either milking this injury for sympathy or they are passively letting a busybody PTA type organize help that isn’t really needed.

Oh you’re a riot.

The Tuesday after Labor Day is the worst? Brian clearly has no kids.

Close friends and family are promoted to initials. I have to be selective on who gets initials because conflicts can easily arise.

Never heard of this. Is there anything that shows that these payments don’t simply go straight into a bail bondsman’s pockets? 

Well, that’s an exercise in learning the uselessness of keeping stats for the NFL. I sorted by ties and looked for coaches who I can remember coaching (first started watching NFL 1985) and there aren’t many. It’s barely even the same game as most of these guys with careers in the 20's or 30's. Hell, Bud Grant had three…

I know Jim Harbaugh rightfully gets a lot of flak for being a weirdo, but I would really enjoy seeing him coach in the same division as Belichick. It would be entertaining to see them coach against each other. 

Well, if it’s the IRS wouldn’t they be going after the money for all of us? This is a weird take from a site that usually stands behind things like heavy estate and inheritance taxes in order to prevent a permanently privileged class of trust fund babies and such.

If LGA is evacuated, they should take this opportunity to padlock the doors and let it fall back into Flushing Bay. Get it over with.

If I had to describe it to someone who never saw it, I’d say it is someone remembering a bunch of events that occurred around Christmas when he was nine - with the air rifle being the most prominent, but there really isn’t a point to it and only like a quarter of the movie is related to the air rifle. 

When Ralphie put the air rifle ad in Look magazine, he assumed it was his mother’s, but it was actually his old man ogling the swimsuits who found the ad. That was how he knew to get the rifle and why he was the only adult who didn’t discourage him.
