I see a lot of the shows like doomsday preppers and all I think is " this now makes you a target"

Sent from my UAV using Disposition Matrix 2.0 It's probably too late to get a script, but Zofran ODT (odansetron oral dissolving tablets) are your friend. Failing that, drink Coca-Cola over crushed ice, slowly. Seriously. If you can get the Mexican version, all the better. I think that there's also an OTC concentrated version for children--at any rate, the flavouring agent that makes Coca-Cola taste like Coca-Cola works really well as an anti-emetic. I'm sorry, GI viruses are absolutely the worst. Not so much from personal experience, I apparently have an iron gut, but from experience with the boys.

I mean, mine are done, and I understand the whole civic responsibility thing, but how does it make any (censored) sense to punish people who outright own their homes, instead of having a mortgage? Given that I sold the house I'd purchased with my then-husband, found this house and managed to come out ahead enough in the transaction to buy it outright and eliminate my mortgage, you'd think that I'd be happy. No, not so much, not now, since I can't take the mortgage credit any more.
My financial adviser mentioned this in passing when I bought this house, but I kind of blew him off. I regret that now.
Also, the redefinition of "high-income" households changed somewhere in the past couple of years, and yes, even though I know it was a Democratic initiative to lower the threshold for the definition of a "high-income" household, it still (censored)es me off.
Upshot is, between suddenly being defined as a "high-income" household and the loss of the mortgage tax credit, I ended up, for the first time in my life, actually writing a cheque to the IRS. Ugh. Welcome to my world Jen....7500 bucks today.  Lol, you guys. Open up a business then talk to me about taxes. I pay the .gov 5 times a year.  I worked on a 1099 contract for a couple years and got a taste of that. I think that everyone should experience quarterly tax payments at least once in their life. It is eye opening to write that check and watch that money go flying out of your bank account.

Then at the end of the year you get to pay your personal income taxes and first quarter sales and B&O in the same month! Wooooo!!!! So much fun!

The 2000 GMC 1500 Sierra heater core hose blew out this am. The fitting going into the firewall broke off. The bad part is..............the entire dash assembly needs removal to replace the heater core.

A batch of parts for my 6.5 Grendel build have been "delayed" in Spokane.

Uh oh...not good. Missing Cats in the hood? Do you have Coyotes around? No yotes around from what I've noticed. We don't really even have raccoons around here. More afraid that someone saw a cute little white cat and decided to give him a new home. He's gotten out before but this is now twice in one week now that my brother in law is living with us and can't seem to be bothered to close doors behind himself. If the cat doesn't make it home I'm kicking that kid out of my house. Had the cat 10 years, had the brother in law 5 years. And I like the cat more. And the cat costs me less money.
