Whatever you do, if you go to a Panera and they have a drive thru, DON’T go through it. I was in one of their drive-thru’s for 20 minutes a couple days agoblue-meanie

I love Panera, but would never order via the drive-thru. It takes long enough when you go inside. You were fortunate it only took 20 minutes.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so hungry.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you a Cinnamon Crunch bagel from Panera Bread, which shall be joy to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a side order of Hazelnut Cream Cheese, whipped to perfection.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the bagel swaddled in a paper bag, lying on the passenger seat.

Zig 2:9-12

I learned that it’s not a great idea to play a four-minute song when your body has other urgent matters to attend to. 

Give me love, give me love, give me… Sorrygottago!’

I learned the chords to four different songs today: Lovely Rita , The Fool On The Hill , Life Itself, and Got My Mind Set On You (the latter purely for Little Girl’s sake. It has four chords).

This is my plan for today………I already have a similar version but this one with a dropped E string to D sounds better………I love YouTube.

When I was in third grade, my classmates all showed each other how to make this.  They said it was a gang symbol.  They were full of it, of course.  It’s just a silly thing that’s fun to draw.

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

I finally understand the tax system………Explained by Beer……

 

“Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this…

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. “Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20”. Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving). The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

“I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,”but he got $10!”

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!” “That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”

Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.”

Make sure when you’re outside, that there aren’t any turtles that could fall out of the sky and hurt you. Apparently, people getting hurt by turtles are a thing.

That’s where these really brilliant things called CD’s and MP3s come in… a-hard-days-night-john-6 

Sorry natureaker, but I’m afraid you’ll have to get started on that Christmas list… 

Dear Santa, I’ve been soooo good this year, I really deserve the entire Beatles albums box set. If I get it, I’ll not desire anything more. Well, except for maybe… *fill in the blank*

I honestly hate buying stuff off of ITunes, mainly because I have so many songs, but such little money

Also, dang nabbit! I usually procrastinate on my Christmas lists, and don’t write them out until almost a week before Christmas. Oh well…

Nice analysis @Wigwam, trouble with it is that there are so many concessions here that the poor end up paying most of the tax and the rich and most big corporations practice tax avoidance all the way to Bermuda.

Good information for spies, perhaps. My mind is working on a story line.

I learned that people who research such things have waaaayyyyy too much time on their hands. I pray they were not given a government grant to pay for the research.
