Oh, thank the dark gods you didn't reply to the whole thing...
This is turning into a damn interview, lol. XD
Another killer quote from the Pirate Queen ;D!
Well I'm full of it.. erum.... Them ;3
May start stealing them >:D
Seriously i don't mind.
Must. Not. Ask. Her. Where. Babies. Come. From.
But why?
The temptation! It burns! XDDDD!
They make a cream for that ya' know ;)~
I feel that it is way easier to accept than most people want to believe... And it can also be surprisingly funny.
"Why do you smell like a girl's body spray, are you gay?".
"You are the one sniffing me" >:D!
Never had someone ask me that.
I don't suppose most people would blink twice at a girl having a guy's deodorant smell on her and just assume "Oh, the smell of the morning after"
I do know Bro has been asked that because he was laughing about it not too long ago. Apparently, he was half asleep, grabbed Amanda's deodorant as he was late to work, and rushed out the door. He told us a guy asked him more or less that, and he told the guy
And I Quote
"Nah, I just like to be reminded of where I'm putting my schlong after work, not smell like I got c**k on my breath like you asshat."
That is word for word what he said.
But don't you have to calculate them yourself and stuff like that? Or is that just Hollywood BS? I'm so bad at math, I fear I'd be jailed for incompetence rather than malice.
You can, if you're good at math. I like you.. am not.
You can have income tax places do it for you professionally for a percentage. Not too bad because they specialize in getting you the most cash back, and if there's a screw-up, it's on them, not you.
Which is what i do every Year, :3
As they should! Here, they set up random checks on places like airports and stadiums -- if you are trying to get in while flagged, they jail your ass. And it's great.
I don't know how they go about it here 100%.
I know, though, that they will straight-up arrest your ass at work or at a restaurant if they catch you tho. I do remember seeing on the news that they were sending "You won a free car" or something like that, years ago mind you. Basically, they were scamming people who where hiding from the Law, that owed over $3,000 in back child support.
When they showed up to claim their free car or whatever it was, they showed their IDs to confirm it was who it was supposed to be, and they were given the not so awesome heavy metal bracelets.
I think that was ingenious on the Police's part. :D
I'm glad to hear it -- your national propaganda machine is so strong, you'd never guess it.
Of course, one thing for sure... Americans, at least back then, weren't cowards.
people were volunteering of course, like my grandfather and his brother, but not the rambo thing.
And yeah, propaganda, if done right, is a hell of a thing. Just look at any countries during the WWII era... some of it was downright malevolent in how diabolical and brainwashing it is.
Well, you exist. So we can assume they knew which side of the deadly stick to point at the enemy ;D
Nah.... I'm a clone, made by aliens placed here to steal all the world's lesbian porn... or there's that thing you said to XD
(I'm sure they were great soldiers).
Well, they both made it back alive. I never really met Grandpa's brother, just a handful of times, but not enough to remember much about him. He lived a long way from us.
But I know Grandpa didn't like to talk about what went on during World War II, and you didn't ask. If he wanted to talk about something, you shut your trap and listened because it was rare for him to talk about it.
He said it was hell on earth, and I believed him.
OK, now you are just pushing it XD
(Don't stop).
Why, whatever are you talking about?
Little ol' me?
Saying something out of line or breaking a rule on the forum?
You jest, dear Waffles.
"Lush" by Natasha Friend, the one I mentioned on my profile. It's literally just one line, so don't buy it JUST for it. Pretty good book, though.
Ah cool, forget i asked then
Also Waffles as to the Tax's
Forgot: When you go to an income tax place, they do the filing for you. You have to keep receipts for everything. For example, if it's a business expense like PC parts for me, you can deduct them as such. Basically, just keep all your receipts, write on the back of them what they were for, and turn them in with your other papers to the income tax place. They handle the rest.
And this is basically what you need to have yearly for tax purposes — just replace the year with the current one.
