  2. It's really fucked up that after all this hoopla about stimulus and taxpayer relief that they didn't pass any bills removing the penalty for early withdrawal from 401k's.

    Yep, still appx %20 tax off the top plus an additional 10% early w/d penalty.

    I know the money is supposedly for retirement but get real, it's a lot more important now...as is, retirement is a long way away (whether literally for younger folks or psychologically because of the financial difficulties many are facing)...you have to have a job to retire from in the first place.

    They seem to have the cart before the horse on this one.

    There are lots of simple things they could have done to help taxpayers out but they chose not to.

    Instead, they gave all our money to private banks who caused this mess in the first place.

  4. Nice looking dog. I've got a beagle now and she hates the new cats. However, she still loves those cat turds, aka "kitty snickers". :eek: :eek: :eek:

  7. Reaver, what the hell kind of screensaver is that?

    It looks like a mannequin with a brass bra tangled in barbed wire.

    You a fan of the "Saw" movies or something? :eek:

  10. Contributory pet comment no pix. I always had black labs now I have a chestnut beagle. The dog was a puppy raised in a house with a woman who had 30 cats. The dog acts like a cat. When I call the dog, she looks the other way and holds perfectly still and never responds, at best she'll just walk away in another direction.
