I know how it goes man. Well, not so much with the fertility drugs (Mrs. Ghidorah and I want to hold off for a few years) but of getting screwed over by our current health care system. It's so insanely broken it's depressing.

Cheer up, I'm sure there shall be little donut holes soon

There is a special ring of hell reserved for insurance companies.

Taxes technically didn't go up... but they did let the ... they didn't even vote to extend it and it got lost in all the fiscal cliff news cycle at the end of 2012... so in the end the working class ends up paying more than we were before but only because we no longer get that particular tax break.. i will be interested to see with the upcoming budgeting talks if they close any other breaks or exemptions... should be a political contentious couple of months.

I'm no economist, but higher taxes on those who can afford to pay them and lower taxes for those who need the money sounds pretty common sense to me.

To add: As a restaurant employee, I receive tips, which are then taken out on my paycheck. It's onliy been happening to us for a few months now, but my checks are around $40 less than they used to be. Then there are the higher-earning servers whose checks have been severely slashed because of this.

I don't want this thread to get too political, but Ron Paul wrote a piece in the newspaper recommending getting rid of the tax on tips, and that's the one thing that could get me to vote for him.

I can AFFORD the $100 less in my paycheck...damned if I WANT $100 less in my paycheck though.

Jelly hopefully things work out for you in the end.

As for what ruined my day is the fudging blizzard Michigan is getting I don't know how bad it is for you Mouth but up here in Midland area we've gotten 10" and the worst isn't supposed to start for at least another two hours yet.

My car ride home took me 45 minutes normally it takes 15 minutes max. :eek:

Tom, so far, we're alright today. No snow yet, but we are being threatened with a blizzard tonight.

Since I work a midnight shift, I'm kind of dreading what my ride home will be like. Hopefully it won't be as bad. You really never know with Michigan weather. Sometimes they predict a blizzard that never happens and other times they predict nothing and we get a blizzard. :lol:

You might be fine I think you're in the 1-4" zone but Midland is in the 8-12" which we've gotten well over 8" so far I souldn't be surprised if we get 14"+ tonight.

by **MouthForWar** » Fri Feb 08, 2013 2:04 am

14?! Geez! :eek:

It appears that its finally started falling here though. Its coming down pretty hard and its not projected to end until around 8-9 AM. So my drive home from work here at 6 should be.... interesting.
