I just assume it's the left end bracket, but since I know how to fix it now (thx again) it's no biggie. I'll go practice it in a political forum somewhere. Or at Youtube, (where I'm spending way too much time lately).Still cannot find out why it gets stuck?
Those are voluntary like the Covid lockdowns in Shanghai were voluntary. Voluntary over there like prison is voluntary. Soon to be voluntary here at the point of a gun.BUT WAIT! Sen Harry Reid said that taxes are voluntary? LOL
It seems to be quite common among many of my peers, neighbors and other acquaintances of my age bracket. Why? Because they did it a lot when younger and failed to save and now get very little Social Security. One next door neighbor who is 76, only draws $1100/month and saved very little during his years of working. Between groceries, gas, utilities and medical expenses, that $1100 is not even enough. But he has an electrician's license and pays his son (off the books of course) to do the manual labor.I don't know just how common this is, but I imagine it would be an eye opener.
According to publicly released IRS information, there are already almost 2100 of them. They are called "Special Agents".Armed IRS agents who are "willing to use deadly force" are already a crime against humanity, and I don't know if they are out there yet here or not.
I hope not to find out personally.
Christian, what have we said about constantly signing up with new user names nearly as often as I change my socks?As requested: Two different sunrises in the middle of nowhere in France. That's where we live.

Copy that !Christian, what have we said about constantly signing up with new user names nearly as often as I change my socks?
When we purchased the house back from the daughter we decided to list the house. That was March 2022. We have had a few lookers but it’s a big piece of property. It’s 10 acres with a 4800 sq. ft. house on multiple levels , 90% buried in a hill with a crazy long enclosed swimming pool and except for Internet, off grid. It needs a special buyer. Now that the real estate market has slacken a bit we have got more lookers but no offers worth even countering and have just said no. Other then the 1st looker who offered, this is only the 2nd offer the realtor was enthused about. We spent an hour with the realtor this morning. Then Terry and I went to the Farmers Market. Then met up with the realtor at breakfast (she paid) about the counter offer we had decided on. The realtor will put it together and email it for our final approval and electronic signatures and send it off. They wanted another 10 acres which I had planned for with our surveyor. I want a 10 year hold on developing the additional 10 acres which will help protect the development land I am working on.I was not aware? Are yiu moving?
If he said that and I am not doubting he did, his brain was turned off when he said it. Try to tell the IRS taxes are voluntary…BUT WAIT! Sen Harry Reid said that taxes are voluntary? LOL
Loved that layout but when I got to meet him many years ago he had already moved onto his “domino” thingMy recollection of his layout was mostly in his use of modules, he called "Dominoes". Ellison was a tad before I actually could comprehend what they were talking about...

I have a recently minted new neighbor/friend who is 55 years old and works for the University. He is a tenured and so proud Professor of Economics, remember last weeks discussions. We were on the patio after dinner one night this summer with 3 other couples and he innocently asked how I could afford this place on Social Security. One friend, the good coach told him that’s not a question you ask people. I just as calmly replied though even with Terry’s SS we can’t! Well how then? So Innocent, so f..king sure of himself because he is a professor, such a naive ass! Terry made it simple for him to understand, we worked and we saved! Much later he said “well if you can’t live on your SS what do you do with it? Terry said well mine is more then Tom’s, I buy feed for the horses, Tom buys model trains! He has not asked anything since that night.It seems to be quite common among many of my peers, neighbors and other acquaintances of my age bracket. Why? Because they did it a lot when younger and failed to save and now get very little Social Security. One next door neighbor who is 76, only draws $1100/month and saved very little during his years of working. Between groceries, gas, utilities and medical expenses, that $1100 is not even enough. But he has an electrician's license and pays his son (off the books of course) to do the manual labor.
Many of these folks thought that SS was a consistent handout to everyone without realizing until it was too late to make a meaningful change. That realization usually came in their mid-50's when the SSA begins sending you those benefits summaries. My best man draws less than $600/mo, but he is fortunate to have started saving a little during his later years, plus his wife was a 45 year employee of ATT, with both a 401K and a pretty good SS payment each month.
What a proud ship, glad they will save it.I've been watching the Battleship Texas makes its journey from LaPorte, to Galveston. It is the only remaining battleship from WW-I and WW-II. 1912 to 2022. She is to be repaired and sent to a "to be named later" place for public viewing.

Re: Harry Reid saying taxes are voluntary... if I've found the source video it's not as simple as the quote makes it sound... he went into the lion's den and the interviewer decided to back him into a corner and keep repeating the simplistic over and over, never engaging Sen Reid on the nuances that Reid was attempting to get out.Trying to avoid the poly tics of it, but this piece:
