At least you only work 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. And since you
own your own business you can take off all you want and you're filthy rich.

The good news is that I do what I like about 9 hours a day, and I do
what I do NOT like only 2 hours a day. Specifically, I do not like
paperwork and printing shipping labels.

I meant the shipping labels. Paperwork pretty much has to be done
manually and in- person...either by you or your secretary.


Sideline:

I've heard you say you wish to pay more taxes. Instead of your paying
more taxes to the gov't, who will just squander it, have you ever
considered making direct payments on the public debt? Every little
bit helps.

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/resources/faq/faq_publicdebt.htm
How do you make a contribution to reduce the debt?

There are two ways for you to make a contribution to reduce the debt:

You can make a contribution online either by credit card, checking or
savings account at www.Pay.gov

You can write a check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt, and in
the memo section, notate that it's a Gift to reduce the Debt Held by
the Public. Mail your check to:

Attn Dept G
Bureau of the Public Debt
P. O. Box 2188
Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188

Give it at least couple of months...the last time Obama won the
conservatives bitched and whined for months licking their wounds.

Rather damning that conservatives feel that they need to spam on hands
groups like RCM...tells the world how desperate they are.

I am of the opinion that all expenses need to be paid for as you go.

What expenses are good or bad, is a completely separate question.

The former. -Now- all we have to do is to prune away the measly little

'Tana' was whining "I'll be paying you to take it." It is a
lightweight aluminum box. Even the large rackmount Extron items aren't
heavy. It about 20 years old, and obsolete. There is a glut of NTSC
junk on Ebay right now. I bought it to use as a distribution amp for
the 10 MHz frequency standard I'm building for the shop.
Microdyne/L3-Com got the last one I built.

I already paid for it, a minute after I won it.

with it. Maybe I should leave some feedback, with the email?
