A couple of weeks ago I received a bill from the Department of Revenue for
back taxes on the last 4 years worth of cigars that I had purchased via the
net, for the tidy sum of $3,800 (ish), (more than I had spent on cigars
after interest & penalties). As SWMBO wisely pointed out though, this was
the perfect catalyst to give up cigars!
I submitted the whole affair to my attorney and braced for a fight and a
bill. I don't know what he said/did but last week I got notice that the
fines and tax had been abated and the whole matter was dropped. My attny
sent me a bill for $0.00 and a note saying that he would rather me spend the
money in the wood shop as he knows that he would get more use from his fee
there (kind of a "community" shop). ....the gloat...Grizzly called
yesterday and said they would be delivering a new 14-inch, 1 1/2 horse
bandsaw Thursday that the attny ordered, (we'd been talking about upgrading
for a while).
As I review my day...
- Quit cigars...
- Got out of some huge bullshit tax bill...
- Attorney didn't charge me...
- New bandsaw...
- An Attorney paid for it...
GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT!
Life is good!

Based on his [g] I'm pretty sure Wes was joking an we can make no
determination of his understanding of to tort reform nor it's use in
this case. Ergo lighten up.
That being said ... wait for it.... wait for it .... Schroeder you suck

OK, way I figure, if you're not just trolling, it's one of the
following:
You live in another universe.
The attorney is laundering money.
You're married to the attorney.
You're blackmailing the attorney.
You're holding the attorney's family hostage.
OK, I give up, how'd you do it?

You either didn't read the post, or don't understand tort reform.

Saw it, but it was vague enough in it's specific.

Fair enough. Someone's got to clean up the pile of crap it's turned
into, so I guess the guy who rolls up his sleeves and gets full of it,
gets to pick how he does it.

You obviously didn't note the "[g]" at the end.
But since you threw in your bait let me say that, yes, I did read the
post and yes, I know what Bush is trying to do with "tort reform" and
I don't like it. That no doubt will put me in the minority here, but
it's not an unusual circumstance, with which I can deal.

Perhaps he is waiting for someone to chop their right hand off with it?
