Getting even with Uncle Sam

JvilleKid @JvilleKid (131) • United States 28 Feb 07

I really don't like taxes and all of the Big Brother things that Uncle Sam likes to impose on us. Every once in awhile I will do something little that makes me feel like I am getting back at them. For instance, if I know I will be...

debbie4824 Changing your withholdings doesn't affect how much tax you owe. All it does is change the amount taken out of the paycheck. At the end of the year, your W2 income goes on your tax return and you pay tax. As long as you break even or get a refund there's no...

Where do you think Claire is going?

JJLoa44 @JJLoa44 (346) • Canada 27 Feb 07

It all depends on who the Haitian is working with. I can only think of two possibilities. One, the Haitian is taking her to Linderman - which means either he's betraying bennett or Linderman is not fully in charge of that...

debbie4824 I don't think it will be a matter of betrayal. What we need to remember is that the entire plot of Heroes has been following the "It's a Small World" plot, i.e. everyone seems to be connected to everyone else in some way. Obviously Linderman will be a huge...

LOTR actors in other movies

recidivist20 @recidivist20 (348) • Philippines 16 Jan 07

How would you compare the actors' handling of their character in LOTR with the way they were in other movies they appeared in? For example, Viggo Mortensen looked very much different as Aragorn and as the rider of Hidalgo. I...

debbie4824 I love this topic :) Viggo - He was incredibly good looking as Aagorn but I honestly think he just does not have a good look in other movies I've seen him in. Outside of looks, I also think his acting was better in LOTR. Maybe he just identified with the...

debbie4824 The Shawshank Redemption. I unfortunately did not get to see it in the theater. This movie is just incredibly well made, good direction, great casting, strong storyline. If anyone has not watched it, trust me on this one!

Starting discussions in unrelated interests

kesfylstra @kesfylstra (1868) • United States 12 Jan 07

Why do we have interests if people are going to start random, unrelated discussions in them? Does anyone else get annoyed by this? Is it just to get credit for starting a discussion in an interest?

debbie4824 I have trouble finding where to put the interests. Unless you already have an interest added, how do you assign it one when you post? I always end up putting mine in general if I don't have an interest set up. Posting under an incorrect interest though is...

criminal minds vs csi vs law and order

ptennant01 @ptennant01 (246) • United States 11 Jan 07

debbie4824 I love Criminal Minds & CSI, I like Law & Order but it doesn't interest me as much as the other two, too much drama in it (I know that sounds weird right?) Anyway, CM is just a great spin of a crime drama, new approach that makes it interesting and great...

How many of the "Classics" have you read?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 10 Jan 07

Most of us were forced to read some of the "Classics" as students, books such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Lord of The Rings, Narnia, etc. What "classics" have you read on your own though? I read Little Women, Narnia, Death...

Did I act like a fool in the vets office?

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 11 Jan 07

I took my 13 year old brittany spaniel to the vet today. He discovered that she's got a level 4 heart murmur. So, he gave me pills for her to take. Don't get me wrong, she's a happy, and healthy dog, but, I started to tear up...

Bush's speech last night

debbie4824 During the last election, I saw an ad that was so completely "anti-candidate" that the only way I knew who had put the ad on TV was by reading the small "this ad sponsored by the commiteee...." line at the end. That is when it is going too far. I don't...
