  1. I've yet to fill out a tax form which had a section like 11. Total children: 12. Bastards born out of wedlock: 13. Dependants for tax purposes (subtract line 12 from 11): 14. Dependant deduction (multiply line 13 by $3300): Instead, they just list dependants without regard for marital status or relationships. As a single adult I sponsored a child from another country, who then came and lived with me. I filed the appropriate paperwork and she was my dependent on my tax forms. Perfectly legal and an option anyone could value from if they fulfill the obligation. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. I don't know if Jesse Jackson was crying because he was happy or jealous. I started tearing up a little bit out of joy. I would hope that Jackson might have had a revelation last night. A revelation that his bullying and divisive tactics -aren't- the way to invoke change, but what worked was bringing everyone together. Point and center lesson to him last night. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. That's an interesting comment, because one of the main points of the pro on 8 people was that as far as California was concerned, no ones rights were taken away last night. According to them, gay couples have all the same rights as straight couples because California has laws recognizing domestic partners. I don't know if that's true, and I would have liked to seen a debate centered around that claim. You are correct. In California Domestic Partners already have the same rights as those who are Married. Just not the "M-Word". See CA laws: FAMILY.CODE SECTION 297-297.5 and AB 205. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  4. I had a patient of mine remark that my boss (who sits behind his desk, typing on his computer alot) is a 'cardboard man'. I'll never be able to look at him the same way again... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. Well said. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  6. LOL! One of the best lines I've read on here... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  7. Yes. I haven't seen Palin, either. Probably going to go kill something from a helicopter. Well, at least she was along side McCain during his concession speech. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  8. Has anyone noticed that Hillary hasn't been heard from yet? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  9. NBC just reported that McCain has already called Obama to concede the election. Wow, that was quick! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. Screen Grab from the first moment CNN clicked over!
  11. Then there are those here in California who believe the voting won't be that big here, because the East Coast polls will be posted before they get off work. That CA votes won't really make a difference.... Personally I don't believe this, but some workers at the polling station nearby voiced this opinion. Prop 8 will bring them out, if nothing else! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. Might try this link that works. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/11/03/fossett.bones/index.html ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  13. So who plays Kate? Or B.C.? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  14. I tried that once and was very dissatisfied with the result. Although they were certified to work on Sony cameras they didn't fix the problem correctly. Had to send it to a Sony repair center to have the problem fixed properly. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. Hi Julius and Deanna! Congrats on the win there in Eloy! Wish I could have been there!! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. Agreed. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  17. This might be the funniest thing I've read all day. You're a long time Perris regular, he's a long time Perris regular . . . that's just hilarious. Has nothing to do with the thread at all, but dayum . . . I laughed at that as well. However, when was the last time you saw Robin at Perris? I specifically mean the DZ, not the ghetto. (remember, Andi's not a BASE jumper either....) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  18. Help me out here. How does Prop 8 change what's already in place here in California? Specifically look at a couple of laws -already- inacted. AB 205: http://www.assembly.ca.gov/LGBT_Caucus/laws/2003/ab0205/fulltextchapteredbill.htm "SECTION 1. (a) This act is intended to help California move closer to fulfilling the promises of inalienable rights, liberty, and equality contained in Sections 1 and 7 of Article 1 of the California Constitution by providing all caring and committed couples, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, the opportunity to obtain essential rights, protections, and benefits and to assume corresponding responsibilities, obligations, and duties and to further the state's interests in promoting stable and lasting family relationships, and protecting Californians from the economic and social consequences of abandonment, separation, the death of loved ones, and other life crises. . . ." and Family Code Section 297-297.5: http://law.justia.com/california/codes/fam/297-297.5.html "297.5. (a) Registered domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits, and shall be subject to the same responsibilities, obligations, and duties under law, whether they derive from statutes, administrative regulations, court rules, government policies, common law, or any other provisions or sources of law, as are granted to and imposed upon spouses. . . ." ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. Depending on a number of factors, it might take close to super human strength to open some of them. The tracks can get mighty persnickety some times. ...And then they go and grease the tracks and the next time you heave into the door opening it swishes up and slams against the back wall. Then there's the Perris Tennis Shoes and Elsinore Snake Pits....but that's another subject.... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. If you choose to do this please make sure there is enough play in the cable to allow for arching. My rigger (years ago) made sure I knew about this as he'd had another client that had a reserve opening caused by the cable being pulled because it was stored like you suggest. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  21. Some pretty hilarious pets and their costumes HERE. The captions along side tell the story. Love the one with the turtle/spider! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  22. This has been covered in length, many times on this forum. A simple search with key words will net what you're looking for. For example: type the words "$20" and "treasury" in the search box below and it nets this: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=forum_21&search_type=AND&search_string=%2420+treasury ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  23. My 5 year old car's radio is starting to fail. First to go was my AM radio. Wonder if 'god' is trying to tell me something... ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  24. They do make larger houses as well. "Up to 774 square feet."
  25. Interesting. I wonder how many people try to actually walk on egg shells, thinking they can do it? What happens to their psyche when one of the egg shells breaks? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
