What is happening is that your employer's accountant overcompensated for your buddy's higher tax bracket and they are taking too much off, the the lower net paychecks...but he gets it back at return time. If he wanted to, he could make your employer set it up so he gets more on his checks and less at the end of the year. It all has to do with accounting, he is not actually making less.

well....we actually ARE ;) I think Troy's bang on on this one...what's happening is just to be sure your buddy's getting taken a lot more off than he should (k...that's ONE twisted sentence lol). Right now it's NOT the gov't taking his tax money...it's his employer.

that link just froze my computer....

SWEET PIANO DUDE!!!!

umm drums

no man, see the keys and the big piano.

Thanks, Jeff :D I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's musically talented around here ;)

and I had the same lamp in my living room hahaha

i play the bagpipes, and at one point i was one of the best in the okanagan for our age, i also had an opertunity to be the national pipe major for the national cadet pipes and drums band. hows that for random?

i have that lamp in my room, its bright:p

i had a killer expensive pearl kit with all paisties cymbals.. dual bass drums, even had a cowbell rack.. it was massive.. played for years until i needed to get on with life so i sold them for a vehicle so i could get my ass to work.. thank god my roommate has a kit in his room or else i'd never get to play at all.

:lol we were once working on my truck and night and used one of those lamps as a floodlamp (just laid it down on the ground) haha...

man...I've had the most fucked up dreams the last couple of nights....crashed my truck in two of them...the second time I woke up gasping for air like in the movies :eek: All sorts of girls from past and present and unknown were being bitchy to me....and when I finally got a Corvette I couldn't drive it....

so stupid me and not taking along a camera today...

driving back from kamloops this morning I went through a snowstorm!
top of the connector near brenda mines at a brake check my car had it's first snow drifting fun of the season! wahooey, time for snow tires! lol

dude...that's the white, powdery, slippery shit, isn't it??? Thank god my truck will be sleeping safe and sound on the Island by this Friday :lol

Better take the canyon route of you don't want to see snow.

yeah, even 25 km out of kamloops there was snow all over the sides of the road!

that's insane...which way?

as for the canyon that's what I was gonna do anyways...more scenic ;) Thanks for the heads-up though guys :D

Fuck I hate Island RSers (not all...but a good number of them).

Today I'm minding my business on MSN...when I get an invitation into some group convo...so I checked it out...bunch of Island RSers. Sure enough a couple of them started w/ the S10s are ugly and slow bullshit....as if I didn't know that after owning the thing for 4 1/2 yrs. Fucking retards. I was sort of silently watching the convo for a while and it was rather nice. I left. They're all still there. My life changed. Theirs is still pathetic. If I had any regrets about making the change (which I never did) it woulda evaporated tonight.

Cheers to the OK RS crew.

lol, your kinda cute yourself
