  You really don&#39;t mind that your perceived windfall is someone &lt;br&gt; else&#39;s money? Exactly what part of your &amp;quot;refundable credit&amp;quot; is not &lt;br&gt; theft? Surely, there still exists some small minority who still consider &lt;br&gt; theft, even when institutionalized, to be immoral. What the hell are you &lt;br&gt; teaching your kids? They&#39;ll do what they see you do, not what you say.

  He will be on the street, in a car, in an appliance box, wherever. &lt;br&gt; If, during his working life, he made no provisions for his dotage (much &lt;br&gt; easier to do with no or limited offspring) he&#39;ll be getting exactly what &lt;br&gt; he deserves. Put him in the &amp;quot;9-Lives&amp;quot; can, too.... What the hell is so &lt;br&gt; bad or &amp;quot;wrong&amp;quot; with an individual reaping the just rewards of the life

  I agree with you but what would be done with the conceived but &lt;br&gt; untaxed children? Logic would dictate that they be aborted or put to &lt;br&gt; some constructive use: Cat food comes to mind.... Unfortunately, what &lt;br&gt; now passes for culture gives logic and reason short shrift, is, instead, &lt;br&gt; governed by emotionalism, sentimentality and superstition and seems to

  Their terms say that they have 30 days to complete an order so three &lt;br&gt; days is not sufficient. &lt;br&gt; They also say they do not guarantee that items will be in stock. If &lt;br&gt; they don&#39;t fix it, I agree you got screwed and should cancel the &lt;br&gt; charge on your credit card. &lt;br&gt; I appreciate your coming back with answers to all the questions and

  I believe you are keeping the first home. If so, you own two homes. Of &lt;br&gt; course you will call the new home your primary residence, but you &lt;br&gt; won&#39;t be living there for a long time based on all the work &lt;br&gt; contemplated. The rules I read were not comprehensive enough to be &lt;br&gt; sure of eligibility. You must have checked them out already.

  Oh for god&#39;s sake! When will people realize that they should be TAXED for &lt;br&gt; having children, NOT receiving tax CREDITS for producing more resource &lt;br&gt; suckers. DISGUSTING!! PLONK.

  Picking strawberries for 12 hrs in the sun, miles from a mall, is not a &lt;br&gt; dream of most citizens. &lt;br&gt; Did you know that the people who are most OutRaged against the illegals &lt;br&gt; are the legal immigrants? &lt;br&gt; They interviewed one little-old-lady,&amp;quot;Do you approve of illegal &lt;br&gt; immigrants?&amp;quot; She: &amp;quot;They&#39;re ok as long as they don&#39;t break the law.&amp;quot;

  Well, since a couple of you mentioned it on here recently, I thought &lt;br&gt; I would give everyone an update on our house situation. I think I &lt;br&gt; posted something on here a couple of months back about how we were going &lt;br&gt; to use a credit union financed home equity loan to purchase a house. &lt;br&gt; That fell through. At the last second, the credit union notified us

  &amp;gt;I went to ecost and they had 500+ cameras at $100 or less and not a &lt;br&gt; &amp;gt;single one of them showed out of stock. How did OG even find one out &lt;br&gt; &amp;gt;of stock, much less pick that over hundreds others? &lt;br&gt; Sure, they have PLENTY of cheap cameras, but I wanted the same thing &lt;br&gt; that we had previously. I use the camera to take photos to go along
