That is one thing I don’t get – in my office there are people who are struggling, yet they have a Blackberry.
Virgin Mobile has plans $25 a month and phones for $10.
Stop complaining about what you don’t have and get rid of the crackberry
“Last year her income tax was zero. This year she’ll have to pay something — she’s not sure how much.”
Aren’t unemployment benefits taxable? Thought they were.
So weird she’d have to pay more tax now as she’s earning less.
It’s amazing this woman thinks she is entitled to eat out a few days a week. How many of us way back in the 80’s lived off Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or just plain spaghetti?

It is a little noisy from the BQE, but I would imagine that after a while it would be considered white noise, don’t know about the fumes coming from the cars and trucks when the windows are open.

I don’t have a cell phone, and that is by choice.
thank god the C and G trains somehow (& a miracle) doesnt suck big time during the rush hrs I take them.

The Finance Minister in the UK, Mr. Osborne, has promised to end, or reduce, welfare payments to such an extent
that no one shall receive more income from welfare
than they can earn as an average working family. In
other words, it is time for welfare recipients to
understand that it is more fiscally sound to work than it
is to be “on the dole.†Taking issue with those who find something wrong with his ideas, and especially
with the new leader of the Labour Party, Mr. Miliband,
who has argued in the Parliament that the Cameron
government’s fiscal programs are draconian in nature
and that such actions to cut spending should be
deferred, Mr. Osborne replied “Delay now means pay
more later. Everyone knows it is the most basic rule
of debt.†It’s a rule that he and Mr. Cameron intend to
govern by.
The Tea Party meets in London at 4 p.m. sharp! Scones will, apparently, not be served however… too expensive!
