If you could claim your pets as dependents (and why can't we?) you would be filthy stinking rich!

I just wish they'd tell me WHEN!!! They're not even telling me that. /sniffles

It seems my pets cost me a much as having a child. I think they should be dependents.

How much does sending a cat to college cost these days?

Quite a bit! The bribes to the Dean alone are thousands and thousands!

I wish it were true, but filling late and writing a check for about 3 times the rebate means we remain dis-incented till some time in June. Then maybe I'll buy a round of drinks...

Got this emailed to me today, thought it was amusing.

Quote:

The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate.

If we spend it at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .

If we spend it on gasoline, the money will go to the Arabs.

If we purchase a computer it will go to India .

If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala .

If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan .

If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy.

The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes, weed, beer and tattoos since these are the only products still produced in the USA .Thank you for your help and please support the US .

I got that same email and thought Hell, some of the best weed doesn't even come from the US. Some of the best beer comes from Europe. And I've heard a thing or two about prostitutes from overseas in both directions...

Tattoos on the other hand.. I have no idea where that ink still comes from.

That and we're moving away from production and into service as a nation (due to about a bajillionty reasons). So, simply because something isn't made here doesn't mean that we're not seeing a profit from it. That's what irks me about these emails - they don't take into account changes in our society and economy. Rather than taking the information and improving upon the situation with what we're 'best/better' at, people like my family members who send me emails about 50 times a day would rather gripe that we're not 'producing' anything any more. I want to tell them to leave their desk jockey jobs and get on the factory line if it's so important to them.

OK, so I've been made sensitive. To note, 50 emails is an exaggeration, but I do average about 20-25 emails a day, 50% of which are likely to be some form of propaganda.

Is it okay to put your family members' email addresses on a blacklist?
