Wow you work the late shift. It's 6:35am here in the Pacific Northwest. I'm just working on physics puzzles. And waiting for Mass to come online today.Back at work and it's 1.20am. Everyone is sleeping so I'm gonna spend some time in prayer. :)
At least April has only 30 days.I'm doing good quitting tobacco so far, stir crazy though. I went to the grocery store and bought some food. Food prices went up again. I'm going to run out of money this month.
I'm really looking forward to the extra money. The tobacco has been draining me of money for the past 12 years. Too long. I blame the gov for that for taxing the heck out of tobacco. But I really shouldn't become a slave to the tobacco anyways.At least April has only 30 days.
Another plus for quitting smoking - you'll save a lot of money. (But don't eat it all up in food.)
It's anti-gov school programming. The gov makes a ton of money off of tobacco and other sins.Tobacco is a stinkin’ weed,
That from the devil does proceed;
It drains your purse, it burns your clothes,
And makes a chimney of your nose.

Amazing how I can remember that bit of doggerel from 5th grade English class
Sin taxes are supposed to be financial incentives to stop doing what you know you shouldn’t be doing anyway.It's anti-gov school programming. The gov makes a ton of money off of tobacco and other sins.
Is that what they told you? Well sure, the gov will have to tax you're gambling earnings, cause it will give you cancer of the brain?Sin taxes are supposed to be financial incentives to stop doing what you know you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
In NC, the government runs the liquor stores. I’ll ask my buddy in Colorado how they handle weed sales out there.
The “Protection” racket worked quite well for a certain Italian family from Boston I once knew.You pay 25% to uncle sam instead of 10% to church and for what? military protection?
