Incredibly Important

I never thought of this.......I wouldn't do it anyhow, but maybe
somebody would.

This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her
mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which
contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... etc... was stolen.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone
telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking
about our Pin number and I replied a little while ago.

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the
money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen
cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin
number.

Taxes

The media has done a good job of convincing many that Bush has done such a terrible job. Check your tax bill before you criticize!!!

Based on using the actual tax tables (see link below), here are some examples on what the taxes were/are on various amounts of income for both singles and married couples. so let's see if the Bush tax cuts only helped the rich.

Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250

If you want to know just how effective the mainstream media is, it is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If any democrat is elected, ALL of them say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above .

I can't wait for it to happen.

This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.

Private Plates

I've seen some cars with personalized private number plates that are so unique and I just wondered how did they acquire it. It is really an attention-getter and I wish my hubby can get one like that. I didn't know that there's a website where you can get Private Plates for your cars. This is probably the best value private number plates and personalized car registrations on the internet. You can search millions of cherished car number plates, ageless car registrations, prefix type personalized number plates and current style number plates in this site. The good thing is that they do the transfer paperwork for you. They don't just send you a certificate and leave you to do the work yourself. This is a cool site. I would have to suggest to my hubby to browse this site and get a personalized private plate for our van.

Police Gear

I always thought that military and police uniforms look so elegant. It makes the officers wearing it look dignified. I just stumbled upon a website that sells BDU Pants for those men in service. LA Police Gear is an online store where you can buy BDU Pants at prices you just can not beat. LA Police Gear is the number one source for military pants.
