Rave: gorgeous hot pink and orange roses sent to my office today by a new beau

Yes, but you get some of it back. The withholding tax calculations are too simplistic - they just look at the amount of pay in that bonus period and tax you as if you make that much per check all year long, which would put you in a much higher bracket.
When you file your taxes at year-end, it all gets worked out.
Still...rant: taxes! -

But I don't want to give it away and get it back! That's like a free loan to the govt for almost a full year. Bastards!

in my book, that's a RANT! -
It's only a rant because Mougar promised us a sunset from his roofdeck and now we may not have one!
-
Yeah, it's probably also a rant because the nakkid people across the way might be cold and put clothes on.

Rant: hungover and have to wait until Bonnies opens so I can get a burger and fries.... need grease to dull pain!!

Rant: painting sucks
Rant: not done painting
Rant: apartment is a mess
Rant: have to keep painting tomorrow 'cause I'm too tired to keep doing it today
Rant: there is paint on my belly, how does paint get on your belly???
Rant: I'm freaking out because my apartment is dirty
Rant: no place to store the paint stuff so it's out of the way
Rant: I think that's it
Ooh wait!
Rant: spilled paint on the carpet
Rant: spilled paint on my arm chair
Rant: I suck at painting -
Rave: my new iPhone. How have I ever managed to survive until now without one. Both Beaver and Flexi told me how awesome it is and I laughed at and ridiculed them.
Well I am here to humbly confess that I am an idiot. The iPhone friggin' rocks. -
Dude for $200...hmmm
Plus cingular owes me a blowjob or something after 10 years of billion dollar cellphone bills AND sending me two lemon phones to replace a broken one.
Maybe I can weasel a cheaper iphone... -

Not Coke, but you'll most likely enjoy this.
RANT: I can never FIND those damn real sugar Cokes.

I actually picked up a Pepsi Natural today at Krupa Grocery. It was awful! I can't stress how bad it tasted. If it was the regular Pepsi, but with real sugar, it would be fine. However, they changed all the ingredients. Sigh. Now I'm back to searching for the Mexican/Jewish Coke. Let me know if anyone knows where to find it. -
Not too long ago the older model of this same phone was $600, the main thing that kept me from buying it. I dunno, I've just never had a phone that I liked so much. That means a lot.

Ya know, when I read the description I thought they might be playing around with the original recipe. Huge mistake. How much was it? I feel like I owe you a few bucks.

I have an iPhone (personal) and BB (work), and while I love my iPhone, I can type quicker on the BB every time.
Rave: gonna go start an iPhone app thread -

Yeah, I have to keep the blackberry for work as iPhone is not an approved device for secure email.
Rave: gonna go start an iPhone app thread
Will be watching your app thread for ideas, right now I am just in awe of all of the options (and trying to figure out how to use them). -

Rave: Free paint to do my apartment!
Rant: fucking idiots who gave me the wrong motherfuckin' paint! ONE gallon of the main color in flat instead of two, the other flat they gave me was in the motherfuckin' trim color. Now I can't finish until I go to Home Depot and buy more. PISSED!!!!!!! -

Rant: Having to order (and wait for) an obscenely expensive replacement.
Rant: Finding a "missing left mirror" parking ticket on the car this morning!
Nice insult to injury!!
Howdy, Stranger!
