Kat, I hope you guys were able to sleep with Noah and that he gets better without a trip to the emergency room.
Allyson, when I was doing flowers for weddings, I registered with the state for tax purposes--they wanted to make sure they collected taxes on any business I did and made money for. I just registered under my social security number with a DBA name. The plus side of that is that I could use that certificate to buy wholesale without paying sales tax at wholesale businesses that catered to retailers. Not sure if this is similar to what the city's trying to get you to do or not.
On edit:
Jars, it's because she's a)a strong woman b) married to Bill Clinton --who they consider a brother to Satan and c)a strong woman.
I am not sure whether this is true for a lot of people, but people I know personally think that Hillary "can't control/satisfy her man" and therefore how could she run a country.
The Clintons are seen as Godless and Moraless. The name is like a lightening rod for hate and vitrol
So it's the second name as much as the two 'x' chromosomes? I see.
I actually think that a lot of the reason they hate Bill Clinton so much is that he's married to Hillary Clinton, not the other way around. It can actually get kind of scary to listen to -- the way the really serious HRC-haters talk about her is almost exactly the way they talk about Saddam Hussein.
Um... huh?
Also, what?
That was sort of my reaction, but my boss AND her husband both seemed to agree.
Someone was just saying to me that, if they do genuinely believe she had Vince Foster killed, why aren't they more scared of talking shit about her??
Re: politics
I was overhearing 2 black people on my bus talking about Obama, and they were really hung up on his name. Not necessarily the Osama/Obama thing, but that it wasn't "a black man's name" so they weren't sure if they would vote for him.
Another lady predicted that he would get elected and then assasinated, because "they wouldn't let a black man be president". Which, after I thought about it, didn't seem all that unlikely.
the way the really serious HRC-haters talk about her is almost exactly the way they talk about Saddam Hussein.
What I'm hoping is that she'll have the money to do as much in-person campaigning as possible and be able to win over right-of-center women to her side. My impression (which may be completely wrongheaded) is that a fair sized portion of the right wing knows that they're supposed to hate her, but are a little fuzzy on remembering exactly why.
