I'm not one chick liking the Mini Cooper. Too much Austin Power vibes emanating from it. :hehe:

I agree on the durability though. It's like a tiny tank. :)

OT: Dust. I just dusted the coffee table 3 days ago and there's already a thin layer on it right now.. :beaten:

Fellow Californians we're gonna get hosed:

- sales tax increase
- gas tax increase
- car registration fee increase
- state income tax increase

Any possible federal benefits will be more than offset by all those freaking increases.

Disgusting. :grumble:

My neighbors cat. Even though there's a barrier between our balconies (kind of like the setup Abe and Ryoko had in Kekkon Dekinai) this cat somehow manages to get over on my balcony. Then he'll just sit there. He won't scratch for me to let him in, he won't meow, he just stares at me with that stupid look on his face that all cats have. After about 10 minutes he leaves. He does this just about every day, almost like he's checking up on me. Very strange.

LOL, not a cat fan, I take it....

It's probably a cat from the State Department. :beaten:

My fellow Californian...

As much as I like not paying taxes... as much as I like not paying anyone anything... this has been coming for a long time.

1978. The Tax payers revolt. Prop 13. Property taxes can not exceed 1% of the value of the property.

That cut the state revenue by more than 50%. But since 1978 the state population has almost doubled.

Is it any wonder we can't balance the budget, fund the schools, maintain the state hospitals, pay the cops and firemen, repair the roads, damns, bridges, levees... without borrowing billions, and raising taxes on everything else?

I don't want to pay higher taxes any more than anyone else. But the days of trying to make up the short fall with lotteries, and by passing sin taxes (150% taxes on Cigarettes, and liquor et. al.) just ain't gettin' it done anymore.

California's financial situation was in the crapper long before the National Economic crisis hit. And Arny hasn't helped things by borrowing so much over the last 4 years.

The most prosperous period the U.S. ever saw was from the late '40s to the mid '60s. That also happens to be the period when the tax rates were the highest in U.S. history.

Like I said, I'm not begging to shell out extra money to the government. But they announced the closing of 4 more elementary schools in my county last night... and it wasn't because those schools were empty.

Parents, homeowners, taxpayers are screaming their lungs out, demanding the order be rescinded, threatening protests and marches.

But suggest getting rid of Prop 13 to any of them and they'll look at you like you're crazy.

That's hilarious. :rofl: Did he do it today, too? And more importantly, has he ever seen you in any compromising positions? :hehe: The members of Jdorama need to know.

OT: stomach ache. Bleh.

Cats are all-knowing. It's a shame they can't speak English :puppydog:
13 Feb 2009, 07:27 #10537
Or any language, for that matter. :mrgreen:

Are you sure it's not an artificial intelligence super advanced tamagochi prototype? Instead of you playing with it, it plays mind games with you?? :hehe: I need to lay off the soda.
