Obama's effective tax rate was 18.4%. Mine was 20.77% Hmmmm.

Hmmm. The guy broke into her house w/ her and the kids in the house. The one place MOST of us feel safest and most secure. She took the kids and retreated. You would think a crook would turn and...

This is from the removal of some basal cells. Looks worse than it was. Didn't hurt...

You getting used to the cold?

on the cover of GOOD OLD BOAT! Saw the new issue came just as I was heading out the door for the weekend. Looked at the cover and said "Dang the boat looks familiar"! Sure enough, when I got...

BUT WAIT! I'm sure that as the tide rises, it also spreads out beyond the original 1003 miles and encompasses an even larger area. Need to check the topo maps! :d

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right. . .



From Paul's tag line... it's the FAA THEME SONG!

Doug: The police gather evidence. Quite often they do a shoddy job. Sometimes they even ignore evidence that would lead them elsewhere. THAT is where the problem starts. And the justice system...

And we wonder why there is no respect for the badge.

I dinged my thumb 20 years ago on the TS and nicked my finger on the Bandsaw a few years ago. Didn't lose and meat though.

And I think the BS is in some ways more dangerous.

Oh, and my Dad...

SO what if she has a six figure salary. The point is he makes a LOT more than her and b/c he can structure things to his advantage pays a lot less. Nothing wrong w/ that; minimizing taxes is always...

Nah, she can't believe how bad we got hammered either.

17.92%. That was my effective tax rate. Included $5900+ of AMT. WTF? Getting married last year hurt, but I didn't think it was gonna be that bad. And combined our AGI was under the oft...

Guess my TUNDRA didn't get that memo... I've never had issues w/ the tailgate.

Now that good weather is here it is not uncommon for me to be OUTSIDE doing stuff or working in my shop and forget to come in and fix dinner. All of a sudden it's 8 or later and then that OH SHYTE...

Yep. I grew up in the heyday of the O's; could probably still name em all. (What other teams have had FOUR 20 game winners on their staff!)

And I'm slowly becoming a Nat's fan b/c Camden is...

Nothing new. Plenty of blacks want their children to marry someone "lighter". And this was "discussed" (hahahhaha) on SNL back in '77. Actually a pretty funny skit at the time!

Aaah Mick, I'm so sorry. I just poked my head in the Bilge for the first time in days and this is what I saw. Hang in there guy. Take solace in the fact that you seem to have had a really good...

LIMONCELLO that is!

Make that FOUR. MAYBE I'd shoot one w/ a dart gun... kill one for sport. No way.

Or in the classroom. Unfortunately there are just enough bullies w/ badges (and guns) to scare me. And yes I've seen and had personal experience w/ these kind of Ma-roons.

I had a neighbor and co-worker who had T1H2 HA and T1H2 HO as his tags. One of the town cops figured it out and shared a good laugh w/ him.

And THAT can be gotten around a number of ways. I've seen my daughter's page even though she blocked me.

And while I don't approve of everything in the video (assuming it is real) I'm sure most...

True, but then you have to pay the shipping. And if you do this for all your items and get them from 3 or 4 diff. suppliers... it adds up. Definitely pays to shop around and consolidate your needs.

BITE YOUR TONGUE! The MARITIME REPUBLIC OF EASTPORT is a (unofficially) separate part of the town of Annapolis.

Okay, it's still Naptown, but they "seceded" a few years back when the...

OH NO! Okay, good for you! I know how much of YOU there is in RITA so I can only imagine how many mixed emotions you have about this.

I would say that before you formally hand over the title...

Some of you may know I bought a boat last month. Alas, not a wooden boat, but a nice cruising boat nonetheless.

I've always known you have to shop carefully when buying boat goodies but this...

Read THIS Op-Ed in the Washington Post yesterday... sigh.

And yes, I've said all along the "Patriot Act" took more of our freedom than any terrorist ever did.

I'll second this! And it doesn't take too many bad apples to spoil people's opinion of the rest of the barrel. I've had enough (and seen enough) interactions w/ the police where they have...

There is a judge in SC (I think) that is very opposed to the idea of cops in schools. AND to zero tolerance which he calls Zero Intelligence.

COOL! You're a lucky man. And they're lucky kids.

Okay, I know how to use a chart plotter. I know how to use the GPS in my car for those few times I don't know where I'm going. I know how to use a Handheld unit.

What I WANT to do is go hiking...

Okay, I didn't read all freaking 12 pages of this thread so maybe someone made the same points....

This video is kinda slanted in that:

WOW, not only do you have a way cool shed in the making... but obviously you have figured out how to make winter go faster!

33' Allied from the Caribbean on to LA.


Read the youth version of the book, then the actual book DOVE. Was already hooked on boats and that just cemented the deal.
Mom took me to Maine for...

I've done 4on/4off, but typically the boat I do offshore racing on does it this way

noon -6p OFF,

NOBODY has replied to this post? Unbelievable.

I think the market just did that for all of us.:(


Still, wouldn't mind taking off on her.

Let's be honest, is ANYONE really surprised?

Still, very sad and another waste of talent.

Boy is there something in the water???

Seriously, congratulations! :)

This is so much better a thread to read than the usual BILGE water.

Have a long, happy and prosperous life...
