      Yup. The V8 tempers the sharpness of the orange juice, and the oj brightens up the taste of the V8... try it sometime.

            It's sprite ( which I would call lemonade ), lime cordial and bitters. IT's very nice.

                If you could wave a wand and institute flat tax, why not make that no tax?

                I considered that, but frankly, that's an impossible situation. And in fact, I'm happy to pay a certain amount of my income for a variety of things. But in this day and age, I would like the ability to specify exactly where my tax money goes. I may want it to go flowers, and you may want it to go to guns, and that's fine. But I'd at least like to control where my taxes go, rather than let some idiot politician steal it for his salary, his mistress, his pet projects, his lobby, and last of all, some remote possibility of representing my interests.

                      I imagine that those two conditions work well together. You can keep avoiding the effort required to get a higher paying job and promotion, which should assuage your fear of getting a higher paying job and promotion!! :-D

                          Techies enjoy a better standard of living than many, and we get paid to do what we enjoy. Still, most people have goals, dreams and desires of a better life, even if they don’t believe it’s possible to achieve them.

                              Well, the ratio of men to women in here is definately skewed in one direction, but I'm used to it. Okay, my pets don't die before me. We all die at the same time. So no one has to go through therapy.

                                    15 mins by train and then 30 mins by foot. Factor in another 15 mins to wait for the train and I spend about 10 hours a week on the move. Im sure there are many people who spend longer and I dont have to deal with driving in traffic so I should not complain too much. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear

                                      Ah, yes, and to get what we call lemondade you must ask for "real lemonade." And Jello is called jelly. And jelly is jam. And jam is marmalade. And cookies are biscuits or "bickies." Not sure if I spelled that right. But lamington rules! (I spent some time in Melbourne. Essendon to be exact.)

                                        I met a guy from DC area that took about 2 hours total each way. I used to commute from town A to town B which was a 45 minute straight shot on the interstate. My last job took 10 minutes. Now I'm up to 15. That's one nice thing about living in the middle of nowhere. No traffic. Although I was late once because a herd of cows got out and were blocking the road.
