Milton Babbitt died. Not familiar with his music or life, other than he was a teacher of Stephen Sondheim's.

I, too, completed my taxes last night. My Federal Return has been accepted. It always takes the State Return a couple of days longer. Of course I OWE the State $257.....crazy!

I will use most of my Federal Refund to pay that bill.

You are NOT taxed more on the basis of race, sex, or age - BUT you are taxed MORE if you are single. It is the single discrimination that drives me up the wall.

I am curious. Those of you that have a state income tax; do you also have a sales tax?

Yes.

Do you think many US Americans think that the GEICO commercial that has some film of Abraham Lincoln telling Mary that the dress makes her backside look big.....is actually sound film of President Lincoln.

It isn't?

Is anyone else watching the SAG awards?

I am almost done with laundry.

I thought you wrote "the rabbit died." Which is even more personal than what I asked.

John G. · « **Reply #127 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:43:03 PM »

The rabbit actually died during the middle of Christmas dinner. Let out a big shriek and died. But that was a long time ago. Poor rabbit.

John G. · « **Reply #128 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:43:33 PM »

But I don't think you were talking about my pet rabbit, either.

Hmmm, if we don't get too much snow, maybe I need to go to see The Fighter

I am watching the SAG Awards. It amazes me that half of the nominees never bother to figure out the easiest way to the stage just in case they might actually win The Actor.

I can 't either, I mean really, who wouldn't at least scope it out

Helena Bonham Carter apparently found someone, other than a make-up artist from Madame Tussaud, to apply her make up tonight.

LOL, TCB.

She does look much better tonight than she did at the Globes

The SAG Awards sounds like something that should be given out by Weight Watchers.

Today I did laundry, went shopping, and I did a little cleaning around the house. Or I also remembered to get dressed.

Are we supposed to guess which of these statements are true?

Yes DR TCB - we have a 7% sales tax AND a state income tax AND a local income tax as well.

since Vixdad works within the five boroughs of NY we get to pay income tax to them as well

and have I mentioned our high property and school taxes?

WHO'S MINDING THE MINT? is on TCM at 10 pm. EST tonight.....I remember liking it the one time I saw it....and it does have DOROTHY PROVINE.

DR MBARNUM - I liked SECRET FILE HOLLYWOOD except for the strange music score.....and the Universal Studios sound effect for doors closing.....

I had a WHO'S MINDING THE MINT? comic book when I was a kid, but I don't think I ever saw the movie LOL.

I remember seeing this when I was a kid

Proabably at the drive in

What's the difference between a Kardashian and a Cardassian?
I hear that one is a ruthless cold-blooded reptile-like creature, and the other one is from Star Trek.
