TTQ B4U

the 4s does. I go from 5am to 11pm without a charge with zero issues and get 4-5-6hrs use out of it daily. He's obviously a power user....pun intended.

So you're saying it's the gov'ts fault that people have zero clue on their own finances and use of said credit cards? Yep, I'm so glad those same people that have no understanding of what they are getting themselves into are the ones that voted for Obama and Obamacare. Irony is strong in that and I can't wait for the ones who voted for it and Obama to be impacted and feel the pain. Is it also the gov't to blame for their lack of understanding of the real issues and what the impacts will be? Ironically, yes, the dems have hidden all the new taxes and what not that will be hitting the middle class quite well. Yep, Obama is your friend.

If it was all black and had zero decals? Still a bit like a BRZ ran into a SEMA Pontiac circa late 90's I suppose.

Mike at Bob Boyd Lincoln on Billingsley Rd. Kevin's Cousin and a stellar guy. Runs a great shop. Had work done there and am 100% happy.

Obama and all those that voted for him did. Hell it doesn't matter any more.....

Borrowed from another article: :gabe: If the government were a person, he would… Have an annual income of $21,700 Have an annual spend of $38,200 Have credit card debt of $160,000 Have a future impending expense of $1,000,000 BUT in recognition of the problem, he has made total budget cuts thus far of $385.

I vote we put his hot wife in office. My office.

So much in our legal system needs to change. Even today I wonder why we would keep the freak in AZ that shot Gabby alive in prison. Just shoot him and end the madness. It does not compute. This guy should be executed. No trial needed. Absolutely none. http://www.cell11.com/images/wallpapers/240%20x%20320/System_Failure.jpg

I hate seeing stories like this but whenever I do, it makes logging into CR or the other forums unnerving. I cringe thinking I might recognize a car or person.

It's like the real cause of all my anger :no: Now about that mole..........

I have this mole on my Penis I need someone to look at.......Paul noticed it at the Gym the other day :gabe: I'm fine. No frowns just a shit load of pissed off anger about the Obama and his dumb as decisions. I still smile when I say that because it makes me feel better about getting the shaft with no lube from a black man with power.

As are all the companies in the article Jones linked us too....and my family is too. I'm essentially going to be giving Obamacare my 4% annual raise for 2013 and I'm pretty fucking mad about it and will be taking my money back from those benefiting from Obamacare in other ways.

Just keeping it real. Never said the world was ending nor there weren't companies hiring and in good places. However, overall the market isn't reflective of the same and thus we're hardly moving forward. You're right and that's why why we are sitting at just about the same unemployment rate now as we were 4yrs ago. Even worse when you factor in all those working part time just to get by or as you note adapting to their new life. Not trying to stare at the negative, but the man just ran a campaign whereby there was nothing to point out and run on except FUD about the other guy. If there are all these positives, then why didn't he talk of them or does the market not reflect them? Again, correct, the cycle of events is always going to exist but it's no secret America is in serious fucking trouble and in a position today that rivals if not is greater than the worst of days past.

It's open enrollment season right? Sorry to all those who were about dump a money into their flex spending accounts or fund for simple things like braces for their kids. Avg braces costs are between $5k-7,500 according to my sister who works for an ortho. Last year there was no limit, Going Forward (Pun intended), Now you're limited to only putting in $2,500 into flex spending. Sorry, someone has to pay for those 30M lives...... How about those middle class families with special needs kids....sorry, you're tuition and funding is limited just the same. No sympathy for you and your kid.

It's an excise tax on medical devices based on gross sales of said devices. Part of the long list of ways Americans are going to pay for all this shit. There are more too but the effects won't be felt until the system is in place and cause more pain. Think it's not so bad? Then think about all the small companies out there that pioneer research in new devices that are funded but typically don't turn profit for 2-3 years as a start up. They will be selling devices and paying taxes on gross sales while they can't even turn a profit. This is just one way Obamacare will stifle innovation. Research and development budgets will not likely be funded as they once were and likely cut all together.

Never said it was. 1000 workers is what .001% of their total workforce? What percentage of the 5 million people have lost their jobs is that?

2.3% on gross sales is small. It's right off the profits.

I wonder if their view is still the same. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703312504575141642402986422.html

100% not true. As a director, I was a part of the decision. There's now way we were going to absorb a 2.3% tax on GROSS SALES not profits mind you. No way. To put that in perspective if you average 25% margin on a $100 sales, you make $25. However the tax is 2.3% of $100. That's equiv. to a 9.2% tax on my profits. Think about the competitive nature of a lot of companies that don't make great margins on hardware. It could impact them big time. My lab in Columbus will sell about $24M in devices and now pay over $1/2M more to fund Obamacare next year. Nucking futs! We have over 260 labs around the US too and mine is by no means the largest. So it's price increases, shifting of people to part time status, hiring of more temp-to-hires and increased automation and efficiencies so we can eliminate head count. Lastly, moving of production to China or Mexico.

We just raised the prices of ALL of our medical equipment / devices to pass on the increase of Obamacare's additional taxes on said equipment. But nnnooooooo there aren't going to be any tax increases on the middle class if Obama is elected. He said so. :dumb: One of my customer service reps just told me that Kroger has already announced the changes to their workers hours and schedules as her husband is a shift supervisor on their restocking night crew. Again, welcome to the new America where anyone can vote, even if you have no clue what the real issues are and impacts of your decisions will be.

I see two healthcare options: Let those that feel everyone should have healthcare sign up and include the 30M less fortunate folks they want to cover and that will be joining our new version of Medicare called Obamacare in Oct 2013 and enjoy your system. The rest of us will keep what we have but do let us know how that works out for all you liberals. I'm sure your taxes won't go up at all. In the end everyone will be happy.

I clarified things a bit via pm. He knows me and now a bit better than before. I have more than shoes I am wearing today.

I'll be putting an SSD into my wife's laptop too. The main reason I'm doing so is my new work laptop, an i5 Lenovo 220 Tablet has one and it screams.

So I'm looking to upgrade system to SSD. What are the reliable and decent ones to look at?

Florida LOL.
