Thoughts for Today

Birds of a feather flock together . . . .
. . . and then poop on your car.

A penny saved is a government oversight.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement .

He who hesitates is probably right.

Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.

If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs....'

Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.

You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.. Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.

Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth . . . . AMEN!

Here's a thought for tomorrow.

Imagine if there was no withholding during the year and we had to write a check for all of it at once.

That might result in a serious tea party. No wonder the IRS requires withholding. They know how to boil a frog.

So we should really pity the kids who are saddled with multiple middle names.... but on second thought, the parent calling out the full name would give the kid more time to run. :leaving

Now, that's getting a little too close to home..... Image

Welcome to my world! At least I can break it into four "easy" :eek6 payments throughout the year.

Hey, it's not like I'm loaded or anything, but we clergy are considered "self-employed", so we get the privilege of paying ALL of our own taxes instead of someone taking it out for us and us never seeing it.

If there was no withholding, and people actually knew how much of their check was going to the government, there really would be an uprising! The other thing that I don't get is the people who crow about their huge refunds (in the thousands of $$$) like they are sticking it to the IRS. Don't these people know that if they changed their withholding they would bring home a couple hundred dollars a month more? That's like a new gun every quarter!

ETA: Cleared up why I pay SE tax.
