"... how much is a ride on the Flying Castle worth? What do you charge these days, Bob?"

One might well ask, what price sanity?

I believe the Chinese knew exactly what they were doing and have just sent a message to the U.S.

Just as they previously sent us a message when their undetected submarine surfaced 5 miles from our fleet during exercises. They're testing our political waters, too, checking to see if anyone takes real action.

I guess one gage would be how much a psychiatrist charges to restore it...

Of course, I'm not really sure what sanity is...

If you think you may not be fully sane, you are.

"... how much a psychiatrist charges to restore it..."

How can you slake your thirst from an empty bucket?

I had to post and run earlier - and I didn't realize until I got back that we've moved already!

Now I need to unpack the Tax Table.

Is that at a spa?

I've never been to one.

I didn't need to look up the cites - gifts and awards was a section in the class I taught last year. But I'm so used to referencing I thought I'd include them. Probably more info than you wanted. :-)

Just tell the Internal Revenue Service that this is an External matter.

Besides, they'd have a hard time collecting.

Good Night, Tulip!

No,no...more information is good...

And any opportunity to be reminded how bizarre and complex the tax code is a good one.

Hmmmmm... I wonder if it would be foreign earned income since it's in space.

In tax, there can be a lot of exceptions - and exceptions to the exceptions.

I've glanced at the beginning of the thread, and now I'm confused. This isn't a ZOT thread, is it? Are we breaking the mold and moving into new territory?

No ZOT--Rb ver. 2.0 is alive and well, and a grateful thread hijackee.

At least he doesn't mind us moving the castle into the middle of the thread. :-)

Yeah, that's a good thing, but I don't think sionnsar gave him much of a choice.

I did the bread/milk thing this afternoon.

I went to the Food Lion about 6:30 for coffee, and picked up a few other things. It wasn't especially crowded.

Anoreth is supposed to be going skiing this weekend, so I hope it's snowing up at the winter-sports destinations!

Yes, Tulip, it is a spa, and it looks like a nice one.

You MUST treat yourself to a pedicure this year.

My husband and son got one for my daughter and I for Christmas, and she had never been before.....now she's hooked!

It's snowing on my pointed head. I wish I could step through the screen into that spa ... or the tropical shrubbery!
