  1. walmart and amazon are the ones lobbying HUNDRED OF $MILLIONS for the 'marketplace fairness' internet sales tax,, congress already rushed through a 'yes' vote last month, but it has to pass the house. this would require any remote or internet seller who salls more that 1Million a year out of state (gross sales, not profit) to have to collect and remit the collect sale tax rate for every state based on where the BUYER lives. Walmart, already has a physical presence in every state, as well as an army of accountants and tax attorneys to deal with a state audit for a particular store, but this would mean that any one of the 9600 taxing jurisdictions in the country could initate a sales tax audit on an online store located 3000 miles away,, even if only for the reason of seeing if they meet the exepmtion requirement. sure walmart and amazon can still make billions a year on a 1% profit margin,, but there are plenty of small family-owned online businesses who are over that 1M sales mark,, and the big-box stores would like nothing better than to see them crushed under overburdening regulation and compliance costs and close their doors,, lest they someday make a noticible dent in their 100s of billions in sales.. .the senate votes yes because they only see the dollar signs for their state... but forcing out of state retailers to become tax collectors for states in which they have no presence, and no voice or voting right, is just tazation without representation. it would create a virtual Unites States of Amazon,,, big government in bed with big business,,, small business will shut down,, or at least downsize and layoff,, and instead of hiring employees,, they will first need a full time CPA for 75K a year just to handle taxes. growth will cease.
  2. youre in baltimore,, there should be quite a few fedex express stations in the metro area. unlike UPS, they do hire people starting out as drivers. even though you start parttime (usually mon-fr 5-6 hours PM pick-up routes, but often you can grab tons more hours if they know youre willing and available for call-ins) parttimers get all the same health/medical benefits as full after 90 days from hire date i imagine the start pay in the metro area is at least $15 right off the bat you get 2-3 near-40hr/wks paid training. you dont need a CDL unless youre driving the longer 900 series vans,, most of the fleet are the 700 series but you do need to get a DOT medical cerification renewal every 2 years, so you MUST be clean. and being really good at stuffing long hair under your hat helps, but it was brutal in the chicago summers. i would just get everything below my temples cut short http://fedex.hodesiq...88446&Locale=en Courier (DOT) Part-Time15:00pm-21:00pm MD, LINTHICUM HEIGHTS
  3. we watched the Jodi Arias tv movie last nite... no way in sheepballs was it filmed anywhere near mesa, and probably not even in AZ,, especially considering the murder took place in june. there were leafy green trees, grass,, and not a saguaro or cholla in sight... THIS is what mesa looks like in June http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQaLKsMJEvc&hd=1
  4. junior high school was a time of turmoil for most 13 year olds trying to find themselves. at that time i seriously didnt like metal of any sort. 7th grade for me actually involved a Stacey Q phase (regretably) as well as Debbie Gibson, Samantha Fox, & Tiffany phases (more easily justified for a pubescent boy). but 25 years later,, i can still listen to Belinda Carlisle and think 'damn she's got a voice' and in no way shape or form do i feel like it belittles my steadfastness as a die-hard rocker. thank you youtube,, even if you are owned by a greedy corporate megaconglomerate out for world domination. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hUDKiLZVdg
  5. haha i get tons of those "HEY YOU" emails from her tooo
  6. I hate it when i hear someone say "all god's creatures are precious",, they don't live out here. some just need their heads bashed in, especially those hiding out under my garbage can http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4zoaO2Y8aQ

  13. yeah,, like we really need any more 'reality' shows about the US. totally giving us a bad name. I mean, look at Kim Jong Un who's already mimicking honey booboo
  14. i've used a Toro mulcher, and a Black & Decker edger,, but never a Margaret thatcher... there's just so many lawn tools,, who could possibly need them all?
  15. my senior year in high school i had dabbled in a bit of non-metal i saw the Cure during their wish tour in summer of 92... but after that cure show i was like 'that was way too fucking weak" ,, and shorty thereafter progressed the opposite direction from glam into savatage, testament, and helloween
  16. thats what pools are for,, speaking of which mine is almost swimming temperature already.shana's from Sanford, NC,, i'm from the chicago burbs, after so long we just had to leave for the desert.
