NOW WE KNOW WHY THEY CALL HIM SNACKS?

@JayHawkFanToo Personal responsibility walked out the door when political correctness walked in.

Regardless what the future brings I wish him the best.

@brooksmd The idealistic, liberally anointed, politically correct world we now live in (Federal Govt) is now allowing anyone with a pet- examples: dog, cat, kangaroo (where legal), to register said pet as a service animal for the life of the animal for a $75.00 fee, qualifying as an emotional (therapy) support service animal. A US Govt ID is issued & said pet can accompany the owner anywhere in the US of A. Kinda like the hormone therapy thing you mentioned the other day-mind boggling to those citizens who try to be responsible & accountable, and work & pay taxes. The animal can fly, accompany owner to restaurants, go to court, ball games, whatever & wherever. Makes ya proud to be a taxpayer doesn’t it? Damn chills are starting to run up & down my wallet most every time I hear the Star Spangled Banner anymore. (Sarcasm).

@globaljaybird I did hear a story about a pot bellied pig on an airplane, pooped on the floor!! Gross! It was a service pet! She had papers from a dr. I always wanted to see if I could pass my golden off as a guide dog to get in somewhere. I didn’t realize it was rude. Anyway I never did it.
-
@globaljaybird I won’t go into detail, but read what the head of the IRS said could happen with the issuance of SSN’s as part of O’s amnesty program. How many billions that will cost not to mention the projected $22 billion for college loan forgiveness. I’ll have to come out of retirement so I can afford the taxes to pay my fair share. I’m considering renouncing my citizenship, leave the country and then sneak back in across the southern border to get in on all those freebies.
-
@brooksmd don’t fuel his fire!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That wasn’t one of those cute little pot bellied pigs. It was a frickin’ pot bellied hog. Monkeys, cats, and even miniature horses qualify as “emotional support” animals. Somebody boards a plane I’m on with a frickin’ horse, I’m getting off. Same with a pig.
-
@brooksmd I did know there was a difference!! I’m w/you!!
-
@brooksmd A guy showed me his Fed ID for his service dog the other day-a pit bull, & told me that there was no Dr’s recommendation or medical requirement whatso ever involved in the process. I’ve no problem with the breed, or any breed for that matter, but now the dog is legal anywhere he goes-with the stroke of a pen & 75 bucks. What the H is this country coming too? If you have excellent, employer paid healthcare under the AHCA, you may have to claim it as a taxable benefit as a “Cadillac Healthcare Plan” & may be subject to a FORTY % Tax on said benefit !! Google it to see if you will get nailed. That’s a huge reason why I took early retirement. Taxable income was going up as per paid healthcare by appx 23K per year without one additional penny on the check, but taxes were going to go up about $8500 per year anyway.
-
@globaljaybird so if it’s not medical why can he have it? Can I have one? I wouldn’t have a pit, afraid of them!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Doesn’t take much to rattle my cage about taxes !!
-
I know! I tried to stop him!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He said there was no Dr involved in the process. You download a PDF, fill out the form, & pay the $75 bucks, & shazamm-you’re in. The US Govt mails you a service animal ID card describing the animal & you & pics, & states “emotional therapy pet” on the card. I looked at the ID card myself. Also asked if it were counterfeit & answer was no.
-
How do you expect everyone to have the biggest flat screen, broadband internet/cable, smart phones if we don’t pay our fair share?
I kept my health ins when I retired and I pay almost $500/mo for it. Guess I’ll find out when I do my taxes if it qualifies as a “cadillac” or not. Only did it to cover my wife as her employer healthcare ins sucks.
-
Boy this thread certainly has meandered from topic to topic.
-
@brooksmd Let’s talk about tattoos. Or our favorite songs. Or our favorite songs about tattoos…
-
@brooksmd Some of us old people tend to ramble angrily while we wander. When we have to drop bread crumbs to get back home we’ll really be in deep crap. Service dogs will be eatin the crumbs !!
-
@nuleafjhawk How bout scars leaf ?- Scars are tattoos with stories .
-
@globaljaybird but what is the purpose, to take the dog anywhere? Sorry!
-
Or the Royals pitching staff for this year now that Shields has bailed.
-
@nuleafjhawk do it!
-
@nuleafjhawk Favorite song = Doo-Wop
-
@Crimsonorblue22 (don’t tell anyone - I just finished phase 2 of 3 of my 3rd tattoo today. I am So digging it…)
-
I’m pretty sure we are the only 4 people on here that are reading this and enjoying it!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 But there’s one guest lurking and probably thinking what a bunch of loons.
-
Ha… surprise… I’m back! Just bought candy for my sweety’s v-day.
You just voided yourself from being buried in a Jewish cemetery. No tattoos allowed!
I have one hidden tattoo. In my single days I offered women a $1000 if they could find it. I never had to pay out. The benefits were worth every penny! The reason I got it… one drunk night in my youthful days (nights) I was with my crazy biker friends and we ended up in a tattoo parlor and everyone was required to face the needle. I was threatened with a forced facial tattoo if I didn’t comply. This was not in the USA, so the parlor also complied with the threat. I think I can still qualify for a Jewish burial, though I’m not Jewish.
No sweat, bro, I’m a loon, too!
-
@brooksmd speak for yourself!! I hope you too are doing something special for your valentine!
-
@drgnslayr Well crap. Now I’m really intrigued about your “invisible” tattoo.
But not intrigued enough to look for it !!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 In his case absolutely. Many local cites have banned that breed.
-
@drgnslayr I remember you telling this story before, so lots of(ladies?) searched you all over? Is that what you are telling us? Jk! If your valentine is 9 months pg, you better throw a massage in too!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 IHOP for breakfast and a card. She just got a dozen roses a couple weeks ago for anniversary.
-
@nuleafjhawk me either, but I can’t stop laughing about it!! Plus I’m trying to leave the house, but I want to know more!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 And next month is her birthday. So from April to November I get out of the debt I go into from December to March.
-
@brooksmd since she is a nurse for cancer patients, she deserves a lot! It really takes a special person!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Ask @globaljaybird about his Uncle Pete and the tat he wanted to get.
-
@brooksmd so you don’t pay taxes?
-
@brooksmd no!! I’m leaving now!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yep still pay fed taxes on my retirements. Louisiana doesn’t collect state on it.
-
I meant in April.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Oh yeah. But we have that covered to where we either get a little back or pay a little. Nothing big.
-
" I remember you telling this story before, so lots of(ladies?) searched you all over? Is that what you are telling us? Jk! If your valentine is 9 months pg, you better throw a massage in too!!"
Yep… that was back in my single days. I’m hitched now. And my wife is the only one that knows where my ink his hidden!
-
I hate paying taxes, too… but I’m not complaining since moving back to the USA. Try living in a “social democracy!” The taxes are criminal.
-
@brooksmd She’ll never know!!
-
@globaljaybird you talking about me? I’m watching wigs on TNT.
-
Me too. Not much defense and lots of dunks.
-
@JayHawkFanToo wigs quietly looking good! Nice block, victor didn’t like that, trying to show up the rook!
-
I saw that. Oladipo tried every which way to fake Wigs out only to have his shot blocked.
-
@JayHawkFanToo not a fan of all star games, one thing about wigs, he’s not a ball hog!
-
We get to enjoy Bon Jovi…I think…
-
Bon Jovi is on TNT playing at the ASG festivities at Barclays Center
