TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

Both. It deserves to be seen.


#8 got bumped. Gotta love it.

I love the colour of that 'Wat one'

Wat has that model in that color - Cavalier Maroon Metallic. This one is the big 8 with all kinds of nice interior - you know, the part that usually craps out when the car is 75 years old. It's ain't metalflake paint, lemme tellya. Also have two short coupes in that color, too. One is a 6 (with plans to get an 8) and the other is a little 8. Black was still really popular after the war and the bulk of the rest of my stuff is black. Two parts cars are different, but no one cares. I reckon that it's needless to say that they're all sticks.


Happy Sunday!!! Up too early, but so what? Cats are fed, coffee is on, and breakfast is already made.


Made some headway on changing this floor yesterday. The carpet was dying. We have salvaged interlocking vinyl plank to replace it. Still have the tack strip to get up and the fucking staples they used to hold down the pad. There should be a good start on the install as the game goes on. Fuck watching the game.


Where is the coffee refill girl when I need her???

Shakyamuni Buddha said, "Judge not others; judge only yourself." What appear to be faults in others may actually be reflections of our own emotional afflictions.


A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.

This floor installation is weirding me.


Junior comes to town this week.

 

[thør]

I get no joy from doing floor work. I've done a bit of it and generally it's not hard, just not fun.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Most generally, it's on the floor. I don't spend much time there any more, especially since I have moderated my drinking considerably.

Knee protection is de rigueur.

I hate the straps that always bunch up behind my knees.

I am Content to Live in the Mystery​

By: Henry Miller​

I have a theory that the moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

I have tried this experiment a thousand times and I have never been disappointed.

The more I look at a thing, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I want to see. It is like peeling an onion.

There is always another layer, and another, and another. And each layer is more beautiful than the last.

This is the way I look at the world. I don't see it as a collection of objects, but as a vast and mysterious organism.

I see the beauty in the smallest things, and I find wonder in the most ordinary events. I am always looking for the hidden meaning, the secret message. I am always trying to understand the mystery of life.

I know that I will never understand everything, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

I am content to live in the mystery, to be surrounded by the unknown.

I am content to be a seeker, a pilgrim, a traveler on the road to nowhere.

 

[thør]

I have pants with knee pads built in.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Suddenly, I feel sorry for street corner hookers in short skirts and hose.


Happy Monday!!! Glad I crashed instead of staying up and watching the game. As I recall, SB3 was over before suppertime. Talk about rigged games. Looks like rain at work this afternoon. And it's going to be a busy week.


Junior is in town, so we'll go to supper tonight or tomorrow. That'll be nice. Seems he has a large client about 2 miles from the house.


And I need cuppa #2 . . . .


Sanity is madness put to good use.

In the same way that someone in the midst of a rough crowd guards a wound with great care, so in the midst of bad company should one always guard the wound that is the mind.

[Wat_Tyler]

Not a Watmobile. We don't like the inverted bathtub style, and we don't plan to start.

Happy Tuesday!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah boy, there was pooter st000pid earlier. Thought I was having trouble with my adding. It's all right now.


And no extra points for getting the reference. As long as this thread has been around, everybody should know.


Even the pussies . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Home. Pre-owned grub for supper. Caught a break at work today. A delay on the move-in date. All thanks be to Allah for his manifold blessings and great mercies, and whatever else I can think of.


Oh yeah, he keeps his grubby godfingers out of my wallet.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Wednesday!!! Basking in the quiet and peace before the maddening annoyances commence. Busy week all across the board. One damned thing after another.


It will be better with coffee . . . .


The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.

~ Daniel I. Boorstin


Our goal while on this earth is to transcend our illusions and discover the innate power of our spirit. We are responsible for what we create, and we must therefore learn to act and think with love and wisdom and live in service to others and all life.

~ Caroline Myss


What people expect to happen is always different from what actually happens. From this comes great disappointment; this is the way the world works.

~ Sutra Piñata

Such service is not a mere conforming to some external rule of behavior, but instead a manifestation of your original nature.

~ Lao Tzu (the 4th cardinal virtue paraphrased)

Hi, pussies!!!

 

[Gory]

About time to start tackling the taxes.

I spent a lot of 2023 untangling my complicated finances. All in anticipation of when I shuffle off this mortal coil. Simplifying has, ironically, made this years taxes even more complicated.

Someday I hope to get to use the 1040EZ.

John what you take on a Flat Tax base on the income and No Paperwork and no IRS because it is a Flat Tax

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Now there's a topic to piss off all of the tax freaks. I think that, if I recall correctly, we of this thread tend to think that a value added tax is most fair. Don't buy shit? Don't pay shit. Working under the table? Not anymore, because we all come out from under the table that way. I think that it is most fair and most inclusive.


But I'm not a tax professional and I don't play one on TV.

I'm no tax professional, but mine are done and filed with the IRS.

 

[Noor]

I'm no tax professional, but mine are done and filed with the IRS.

Mine will be soon as soon as I load the software on the computer and transfer numbers in.

Mine will be soon as soon as I load the software on the computer and transfer numbers in.

I just used the free fillable forms from the IRS.
