Best post yet heybub. I take it you are fromTexas?

You might add, "I never employ illlegals to do work about the house."

Yep. For many generations. I had a great-grandfather who fought on the
Confederate side during the recent unplesantness.

That's not to say I'm parochial; I've been all over the world and parts of
south Georgia. I'm continually surprised at local customs:
* In Milwaukee, the serve beer chasers with cocktails
* In New York, distance is measured in minutes of travel at a fast walk
("It's three minutes that way").
* Hamburgers are served in the UK, but they're made of lamb and have
cucumbers instead of tomato.

And others are somewhat surprised at Texas facts:
* El Paso is closer to California than it is to Houston.
* Houston is closer to Florida than it is to El Paso.
* At 700,000 sq km, Texas is 5 times larger than England, and a bit larger
than France.
* I live in the largest city in the nation (maybe the world) with no zoning.

You forgot the rest of the quote: "I live in the largest city in the nation

I used to think that was a bad thing when I lived in Houston for over
30 years. Now, I live in the DFW area with all of it's stupid zoning
restrictions and have totally changed my mind.

Yeah, I noticed that on my visits to Houston.
You're driving through a residential neighborhood and you come to
some house decked out in Xmas lights and it has a sign that says
"Nude Dancing".

Well, that's one way to define freedom but probably not a good
way to protect property values.

The people were nice, but they felt free to call me Yankee Boy.

Years ago, Shell Oil bought a corner lot on the ritziest street in town. I'm
not kidding; in that neighborhood home prices started at several million,
and that was back when several million was a lot of money. Anyway, Shell
announced plans to erect a gas station with an attached unsanitary taco
stand.

The neighbors were incensed. They cut up their Shell credit cards and mailed
them to the company with nasty letters threatening all manner of undesirable
actions. Amongst the folks outraged were former governor John Connally and
Robert Mossbacher (at that time, the sitting Secretary of Commerce).

Shell reconsidered and donated the corner lot to the city for a pocket-park.

We, in lesser affluent neighborhoods, have more subdued methods of dealing
with those who offend our sensibilities. These methods usually involve
firearms in some fashion

Yeah, I encountered a lot of that false bravado down in Texas.
I was down there fixing up a completely broken computer system and
the plant owner told us that if the system didn't work the way he
wanted, there could be gun play.

Up north we have a name for that kind of talk.
We call it idiocy.

Like I said, drive down a residential street and there is a whore house
sitting right in the middle of it. I learned something today.
The guy owning the whore house must have had more guns.

In Alabamastan there could also be dynamite involved in such cases. ^_^

You are absolutely right. I meant New York the country - everything to the
near east of the Hudson.

Last March, I spent a month in Cheektowaga (near Akron which is near
Buffalo). During the week I was there, I found it differed little from my
part of the country, save it was populated by liberals.

I have lasting memories.

Five days after returning, I suffered a pulmonary embolism, most likely
generated by a deep vein thrombosis resulting from sitting in an airplane
for five hours. It took $91,000 to get it fixed.

Aside:
Less than 4 minutes after we called 911, I had FIVE fit, tall, muscular
paramedics and EMTs in my bedroom with enough stuff to equip a small
emergency room! Had I been a woman, I'd have fallen hoplessly in love on the
spot! As it was, even I.... well, never mind.

On the other hand, I used to pay $35 a week to have my yard mowed and

minutes to do it. I don't mind making $70 an hour and the yard looks

Even if that kind of math made sense, you're "making" $35 a week, not
$70 an hour.

But of course we all know that you aren't making one red cent.

I pay myself the $35 that I would have paid to someone else for 30
minutes work. The last time I used the calculator that came to $70
per hour of work. I never said that was my only income just that I
was making $70 an hour for doing my yard. What I still haven't
figured out is why the yard crew that used to do my yard took almost
45 minutes to do the job with two people.

As for not making one red cent....A penny saved is a penny earned.

years back. *As a result, I have to do all of my own yard work and
work on the house since it's almost impossible to find anyone who
doesn't use illegals for those jobs.

On the other hand, I used to pay $35 a week to have my yard mowed and
trimmed. *I now do it myself, do a better job, and it only takes me 30
minutes to do it. *I don't mind making $70 an hour and the yard looks
great.- Hide quoted text -

Even if that kind of math made sense, you're "making" $35 a week, not
$70 an hour.

But of course we all know that you aren't making one red cent

I pay myself the $35 that I would have paid to someone else for 30
minutes work. *The last time I used the calculator that came to $70
per hour of work. *I never said that was my only income just that I
was making $70 an hour for doing my yard. *What I still haven't
figured out is why the yard crew that used to do my yard took almost
45 minutes to do the job with two people.

As for not making one red cent....A penny saved is a penny earned.- Hide quoted text -

Your total net worth just before cleaning your yard was $X.

What was your total net worth after you spent the 30 minutes cleaning
the yard?

If your net worth did not increase after cleaning your yard, you
didn't earn one red cent.

If your net worth did indeed increased by $35 after cleaning the yard,
please tell us where the money came from. There has to be a debit
someplace to offset the credit, unless you printed the money yourself.

Better than that, there is no tax to pay.
