Ha! They just showed a trailer for Raising The Bar and they've cut Gosselaar's nasty hair.

Oh is THAT who it is in those billboards.

I thought he looked familiar.

Totally Beast Mode

Yeah it was!

It was a holy shit roller coaster is what it was.

He hit the first grand slam in the top of the fifth inning and it gave us a six run lead. He pitched the bottom of the fifth and they hit him hard and scored five runs. It was a 9-8 game and he was in danger of losing the game in which he had a grand slam. He looked totally shaken when he came off the mound.

Then he came up in the top of the sixth and hit the second grand slam. He pitched the bottom of the sixth, got two outs immediately and then the defense committed two errors behind him. That and a hit loaded the bases for Jack - Emmett's close friend and the best home run hitter in the league.

Emmett struck him out to end the game. (Jack struck out looking on a borderline pitch, but clearly the ump thought we'd had enough baseball.)

I told Emmett I was most proud of him for willingly going out to pitch the bottom of the sixth (I was out of pitchers at that point too).

The first grand slam was an absolute rocket, an opposite field line drive that cleared a thirty foot fence. It's really hard to hit the ball over the high fence that way with opposite field power. The second was a towering shot to straight away center.

Has anyone ever used one of these? I dunno--I just figured if someone could amp water that magically someone would have told me before now. I feel out of the loop.

ita, DH was telling me something about that system. It seems that it's just a form of home brewed bleach.

That breaks down into water so no smell and no residue. It sounds magical.

Except for that part of me that keeps wondering how safe it is to clean things with ozone. Isn't ozone not so good to breathe?

Maybe it breaks down without getting into the air.

What's the point of being a one person corporation past tax savings?

I looked into it when I was taking my current job--a lot of people who work in what I do are contractors rather than employees--you end up making more money, usually, since with all the travel, getting paid by the hour (contractor) instead of salaried (employee) adds up. But I decided I'd rather have the insurance and some reliability.

But I did look into it, and becoming an LLC (as opposed to a fancier kind of corporation) didn't look hugely complicated. But I also didn't want to deal with the tax and accounting issues, on top of everything else.

Yes, the maintenance on an LLC is simpler. In CA there's an $800 annual fee for being an LLC.
