This is Chicago & Illinois. They don't care about what the IRS wants (except for any cash that comes from the IRS).

Just bring your body armor, you'll be fine.

I've already put in that I'm telecommuting Monday.

Don't worry, it gets better. Illinois is also floating around a "per mile" tax on driving. This, of course, is in addition to vehicle registration fees, gas taxes, and toll roads. Other states will undoubtedly keep an eye on it for revenue ideas.

I take it you'd prefer to drown in someone else's?

Dremel tools are your friend...they can also do dental cleaning!

Forgot - I should have mentioned to be wary of used brand name guitars that seem way too cheap. It's pretty easy to take the neck off a trashed strat/les paul and stick it on the body of a cheap knockoff.

Then again, there was the woman who was complaining to me because the store was out of large bags and she had purchased a big package of TP..."What are people going to think about me leaving with this big package of toilet paper?" (thinks to myself, "That you don't use your bare hand?") "You should put up a sign in the toilet paper aisle, warning people that they may not want to buy it because you're out of big bags!!!"

"...My Mother and I have a relationship!"

He started smoking at 13. By the time he was in his 20s, he was at 5 packs per day. Wake up, have a cig, go into the bathroom have a cig, eat breakfast have a cig, head for the car have a cig, etc. Ashtrays everywhere in the house (Li'l tsar even said he wanted him to quit for Christmas one year - he tried and was off them for a while, but decided to try one to see if he could handle it, nope). He finally gave them up in '79. Probably why he lasted until last year.

Less than 20. Unless you count all the 2nd hand stuff from being around my 5 pack a day Dad. BTW - Stage 4 isn't pretty. Quit if you can.

Dr. House makes good.
