Tax Poem

I have not done a rant about taxes lately, so to spare my friends I decided to post this poem.

The Tax Poem

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Finally!

I FINALLY GOT MY BRACES OFF!!

(the bottom braces at least)

After 5 years and 3 months, the orthodontist is finally getting tired of me coming into his office. This morning he took off my bottom braces.  It is a wierd feeling, I actually feel my teeth (they are so smooth).  When I got in office this morning I had a dounut, out of habit I kept taking my tounge and rubbing my teeth to make sure I did not have food caught in my braces.  But there were no braces!  Funny how I would do that with out thinking about it. 

On March 17th, my top braces will come off. I will be ready to drink like the Irish that night. Then all new kinds of fun will begin. I get to go to the periodontist to get an implant (a stubborn tooth that would not go where it needed to be had to be removed) and veneers to help fill in the space (basically I have more room than my teeth can fill).

The Lost Camera of Summer Time Fun

After several summer trips and getting lost for a period of time, I finally took all the pictures that this little camera could handle. And then after plan laziness, I got the film devolved a couple of weeks ago. Pictures are fairly tame, no outrageous shots of people doing stupid things. Enjoy.

Sometimes it really sucks being in the military

As you know my brother has been in Iraq since last summer- that sucks.

He was able to get leave to come home for Christmas – good thing.

He was supposed to be home the middle of last week but there were not enough spots on the planes to bring him home – that sucks.

He could have seen his favorite team (the Dolphins) play in KC, but he was sitting in Kuwait waiting for that spot on the plane (we won’t tell him that it was 10 degrees with 20 MPH wind gusts) – that sucks.

He finally got a spot on a plane – good thing.

But the worst part of this whole thing, he has a lay-over in Ireland and he can’t go get a beer.  Now that really sucks.

Something to keep in mind

As much as it seems like a good idea, blowing out a candle with canned air is highly discouraged.  I am not saying that I know this from personal experience by making a mess all over my desk at home (keyboard and mouse included).  But this is something I want folks to know, wax will go all over the place.
