Amen!

I like scary, but Lisa doesn't.


Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece..... check out "Dusk to


Dawn" and "Kill Bill"

1& 2 as well!!!! You'll love them!

CM



Lisa will NOT love Kill Bill one or two....I thought two


was better

than one BTW....



No, I saw a review today. She said no Pulp fiction ,

either.
I guess it will be another 'romantic comedy'. Oh

thrills.

Spanglish is cute...

Depends, Max. In days of yore captains would hold some

of their crews pay
while they went ashore, so that when they got back to

the ship they
wouldn't be broke.


(Good point, John.)

Never mind, Mooron. Go for the big refund.



Some people are not smart enough to save their own money.
So, I guess for them a big refund is a good thing.

But if you give them a refund, they won't save it so why give it back in the
first place?

It's safe with the government holding onto it.

Amen!

Even better why don't they take what they want and just hold onto it until
one reaches retirement age. They can give it back interest free. For your
own good!

Whoops! Didn't I just describe social security?


Sure did. And the dems just love to bash the idea of investment accounts in
lieu of SS. Amazing.

Mr. Crantz had an even better idea--the gummint could just keep each year's
refund until retirement age. Then folks like Mooron could have one hell of
a big refund then. Interest-free, of course. And if the gummint would
consider "retirement age" to be, oh, say, um, 94 . . .

We've seen the result of retirement investment accounts as opposed to
defined benefit pensions in companuies like Polaroid, K-Mart, and Enron,
just to name a few.
