So, my husband was unemployed for several months last year.  And he’s unemployed again as of a couple weeks ago, since his contract job ended. 

However, that is not why I am here.

I am here because the unemployment benefits my husband received were subject to income tax.  Excuse me, but WTF?

Hey, sorry you are unemployed – here’s some money.  We know it is less than 1/2 of what you make each month, but we want to help.  And, oh yeah…we’re gonna hit you when you’re down and tax you on it, too!

Fuckers.

I am certainly no religious scholar…so I cannot comment on this article.  But I did find it very interesting.

Friday AND leap day?  What could be better?

Yes, I have returned from my world tour.  I am sick as a dog.  More updates later.

smooches!

“Forever?”  No.  Forever by its terms is an unending stretch of time.  People, on the other hand are beings with a finite life span.  So, no, two people cannot stay together forever.

Now, if the question is whether two people can stay together for a lifetime, I’d say yes, although it is very rare.  Assuming, of course, that “stay together” refers to a romantic relationship.

Ehhh…there’s too much of an analytical thing going on inside my head today.  I’ll stop now.
