    You'd need to throw in about 10 lofts worth of hay to make it worth taking on 2 horses.

    Doubt anyone will truly voice their opinion, so here is mine....



    I've always treated abortion like voting.

    If you don't vote, don't *****. If you do not have a child, don't *****.

    That stops now. When you can take a human being, be it an adult, child or infant, and kill them and only be charged for murder in the 1st degree for two of them something is wrong.

    For those of you sadistic enough to support these laws, will you also say that a pregnant mother who is attacked, and survives an attack, but her planned unborn child does not, that the attacker should not be charged with murder? His defense is until that child reaches the age of 2 days, the child has no right to claim life and therefore is not murdered.

    That any woman who is pregnant and murdered, her murderer should not be charged with 2 counts of murder in the first degree?

    You can't have it both ways.

    I think this is nothing more than a Democratic ploy to have Roe vs Wade overturned purposely by the SCOTUS and the 2020 Democratic stage is set for the narrative that Trump overturned Roe vs Wade.

    If you support these new "womens choice" movements, I feel for you and will not state my true opinion.

    well then you gave them a "cash" discount for nothing. That's kind of on you, brother.
    Look, I'm no IRS agent, but usually the entire point of a "cash discount" is to evade or minimize tax responsibility. When you allowed someone to write you a check(s) it then created a paper trail. You allowed yourself to get played by trying to play the system.

    When I had my roof replaced in 2016 I paid cash. 100's, 50's and a 10. All I had in return was an estimate

    Not really. It could be to avoid the percentage rip they would take accepting a credit card. But then it should be limited to that percentage. Another possibility is that taking cash avoids a charge back from the credit card company when the lowlifes try to get the job for free

    then he wouldn't be griping about the 1099, would he?
    look, our country was founded on rebellion against unfair taxation, and I believe it to be our patriotic duty to straddle the fence of legality in this regard. Pay not 1 more red cent than is owed to Cesar. But render to Cesar what is Cesar's and all...but more importantly don't give someone a discount for evading a paper trail and then allow them to create a paper trail by writing you checks. If it was about the 3% in CC fees then give them a 3% discount and move on. Nobody gives a 10% "cash discount" for anything other than taxation purposes- or the evasion thereof.

    I agree 10000x with what you wrote here but are you sure it's WV and not regular VA?

    dude, you know I Bro-love you, but please STFU. It's almost -25 outside and I can see my breath inside. I have the fireplace going, the gas oven at 400* with the door open, my Heater Buddy at full blast in the crawl space, and I can still see my breath as I'm typing this. I'm under 2 blankets and 2 dogs to keep warm.

    Oh yeah...And drinking straight rye whiskey.

    Get up 2 hours early so I can go to the gym before work... I wondered why there wasn't a car in the parking lot when I pulled in. Get out and try my key card, nothing. It will usually beep at you with a red/green light. Nothing. No other way to get in and no one else there.

    Illinois politicians.....

    Gun owners are about to get pummeled in this state. All the Chicago Dems., Bloomberg, MOMS, Gifford's group and every other national anti gun group trying to force their will on the law abiding finally have exactly what they want here. Majorities in the Senate and House and a governor who will rubberstamp anything sent his way. IL will becomebtheir model srate of what they want to do to other states or nationally should they gdt full control.

    I really, really, really hope the FBI has something on Madigan through their tapings of his conversations the past few years.

    RBG being replaced would be a nice bonus aswell.

    I've never understood thet lovefor horses other than for utility ( packing meat) or traveling back in.
    What is the mindset for those like you that have em?
    Just seems like a huge waste of time n money.
    Not picking on you, just wondering.

    Bucksnbears, I'm going to try and offend as few people as possible. It a girl way of thinking. Some people love dogs girls love horses. If you have one of the girls in your life that loves horses you are automatically part of it. We have 3 quarter horses and have progressed into driving draft horses.
    I was told once if you want to be a millionaire with horses you should start with 2 million.

    When my oldest son asked his future wife's father if he could marry her, he asked him if he could spell money.

    My son said he looked at him kind of funny and said, M-O-N-E-Y?

    His father in law quickly said, you're wrong.

    If you marry my daughter the way you spell money is H-O-R-S-E!!!!!
