yeah, the "good" part was where he said, "Well, if you lived in PR, you would owe $19,000 in taxes." Um, yay? I don't know what happened this year with our taxes. I guess my working - maybe my withholding was screwed up but I don't think so.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Wow, Project Runway is a bitch.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Owing that much is fierce.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
"Well, if you lived in PR, you would owe $19,000 in taxes."
Wow, Project Runway is a bitch.

Compassionately intolerant
soi-disant.
Hec, once again, you bring enlightenment and joy to my life.
This is a totally new to me word. And I appreciate the non-agreement with the skeevy appelation.

So, question: do people who are residents of PR not pay fed taxes? What do they get out of not having representation? (Obviously, DC you are screwed because you're just like everyone else, but no rep. I'm hoping PR gets *something* out of no reps)
In other news, I am cracking up over here. The GILF replied to my email (where I asked "What does it take for a girl to get on your complicated planned months in advance color coded schedule?"). And it started with "Well, first we have to assign you a color, and then tell (person who is apparently coordinating the schedule)" and I just started laughing and laughing. I suddenly feel like I'm asking to join the Manson Family or a cult or something. WTF?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That's the classic rash for an allergy to something on your clothing, Hil. Are you using fragrance-free washing machine soap?
I use the fragrance-free dye-free detergent. And I have just started two new medications, so it could be a reaction to one of those. The rash seems to have calmed down but not totally disapeared now. I'll keep an eye on it.

Trust my rage
do people who are residents of PR not pay fed taxes?
In general, no. However, employees of the fed. gov. (i.e. me) do, although active duty military members stationed here but not PR residents (i.e. Joe) do not.
eta: and in a different, but similar, vein, PR residents cannot vote for president but there is a primary here, currently scheduled for June 7th. Weird...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
And I have just started two new medications, so it could be a reaction to one of those.
Urg. I hate to be a doomsayer, but based on that, it does sound like it could be a drug reaction.
But I'm hoping not! Maybe it was just an idiosyncratic thing where your body just decided to be rashy temporarily.
