Unless you're too broke to afford booze and stuff, and then only maybe.

It's in the north, so it's been cold and dark for month upon month. Plus, maybe she's relatively unattractive . . . I'm not familiar with Badger attractiveness standards. Christ, she's a Badger -- that's enough to depress anyone, being a rodent.

gay marriage tax question

OK, not really. If there is a big income disparity, there is an ADVANTAGE to being married (unless the higher earner is still in the lowest tax bracket), IMHO. Let's say I and my next-office-door neighbor are the same class year and therefore have the same salary. I am single, and she is married with a husband who has no income. She will pay considerably less in taxes than I will, because their taxes are computed using the married tax tables and mine are computed using the single tax tables, and the brackets are wider for the married people.

If each spouse in a married couple earns exactly half of what I earn, they will pay (in total) less than I do in taxes because of the wider brackets.

If there are two married people each earning as much as I do, they each will pay more than I do in taxes because the brackets for married people are not twice as big as the brackets for single people (except for the bottom bracket).

And yesterday, people on PB were doing so well with the AMT. This is a huge disappointment to me. I may have to go on hiatus.

That is so hot. Can you say "spouse" again?

Score! and, Tragic Porn Scandal

Thanks to someone else's asshole ex-boyfriend, I've scored one of Louis Vuitton's pretty, pastel bags for free. She pitched the jerk, met someone new, and unloaded the bag for bad karma. Extensive research/consultation say it's authentic. I love that wanker ex!

And have you porn addicts heard about the voluntary industry quarantine/production shutdown due to an HIV-positive actor and his many unprotected partners? Sad news.

Link to CNN Story Here

Vivid is apparently not part of the deal, which kind of makes you wonder how widespread the 'shutdown' really is.

Reality Check

My sister ran into distant acquaintance on the train on Monday. They are both divorced, single parents. They made plans to meet for a drink tonight.

She's been e-mailing me, asking for advice to get ready for the date. Yesterday's electronic conversation got a bit heated. She didn't like it when I told her to keep her feet on the ground and not get caught up in all the attention (he's called her three times and been e-mailing several times a day). He may be interested in her, but he could still be a wacko. This is her first date since her husband left her and their infant son.

She just sent me one of his e-mails as proof that I was wrong (he's not a wacko) and she is right (he wants her and she is a desirable woman):

Quote:

Just getting in...ugh. Long night! But what made it all worthwhile was seeing your sweet e-mail when I turned on my computer.....you;re really great! And no, I don't usually flirt or correspond with girls from the train.......but I must say, I am really happy to be getting to know you better. And I am very much looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night (yes, I think we'll have a very nice time.... and at some point, I'm going to want to reach over to you, and hold your hand.......hope that isn't too forward!).

(Apologies if you're the original author. I promise not to let me sister know I met you on the FB)

What does the FB say?

If a guy sent me this BEFORE the first date, I'd run. Maybe that's why I'm in the ranks of spinster-hood.

Seersucker is quite the thing this summer, for both women and men. I, personally, find seersucker really sexy.

The red cummerbund is so vile, however, that I do not think its perpetrator should be able to go on living.

Oh, and HAPPY FRIDAY, you sad sack mother fucker lame ass chat room groupies, talking to your imaginary "friends" on your screens rather than meeting real people because you're so socially retarded. It's a beautiful fucking day, shouldn't you be out doing something rewarding with your lives, you pathetic jackoffs?

Can you post her email? Its difficult to evaluate this one w/o the context. She may have flirted, and then he had to say something- unless he plays the "disinterested moody" guy act.

I don't know that the email is all that over the top, but WTF is up with the guy calling THREE times between Monday and Friday before a first date?

I wouldn't write the guy off as a total wack job just yet, but if there's nothing there for her after a date or two he may be a pain to get rid of gracefully.
