I'm bored, y'all. Entertain me for the few minutes I have left here. Pretty please??
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Awww, the "we all *wish* we were paying 15%" x-post...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Right now, at what I make, between federal taxes, social security, medicare and state taxes I get to take home 72% of what I make, P-C.
Okay, at first I read that as they took away 72%, and my mind was boggling. But still, crappity. Down with government! Up with me!

35% comes out of my paycheck... Well a little more than that because I have a few things set up for pre-tax. Thirty-five...
I am hoping to decrease that after the end of the year with some creative (but legal) accounting.

Sail is me. But, add in 401K and health insurance contributions, and I take home about 55% of my pay.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Taxes blow.
That is all.
Well, no. Also, my uterus is such a drama queen with the cramps. Enough, already!
I'm going to walk on the treadmill in the hopes that endorphins will trump cramps.

There are days it definitely feels like it!

Taxes blow.
And not in that tingly sort of way.

ChiKat, that's about what I take home, too, for the same reasons. You know what really sucks? My take home pay is less than I was taking home 12 years ago when I got out of the Navy. I miss my non-taxable allowances.

I take home 65%. That's with no state income tax, but including health insurance, etc. Although, it doesn't include the pretax investment stuff, because I am a bad person planner, and haven't signed up for it
yet.
Aimee, I actually winced when I read about your thumb. Dang. Ow.
