is commenting on my own blog about situations or vents considered a taboo subject? Not that anything really should be considered a taaa-booooo subject since this is my blog but I'm just curious, if I leave myself a comment and anyone reads into it that comment, could it be considered taboooo and yes I'm mispelling that word, sound it out - say the last three letters in a whisper, its a funny word. I guess certain situations of late have at least got me blogging again here and that I'm avoiding a few hours of pure data entry from hell at the moment. Between the red vines, the cigarettes and all the thoughts swirling around in my head, I can't possibly be fixed nor do I want to be fixed. For the longest time, I thought the whole concept of sexy magick was awful from those who shall not be named here ever ever again, so why did it become acceptable after many years. I've been blogging for years and years and have many more than one blog and no you're not going to get links. If anyone wants to read between the lines be my guest but don't assume it all about you, trust me its usually about me and what I see. If I could become part of any of you and look through your eyes - would I? ick, ok, maybe not ick, I'm am curious what it would be like to be a cat or even a guy - that would be interesting. Although I have no interest in being a dog, there is more to life than the ball. The point of this, I don't know, its my blog, I pay for it every year and I pay for the space and the domain name and the email associated with it, so nothing should be taboooo, you know that word is kind of like tatooooo, the little person from Fantasy Island, remember him. That would make a good book title, they who shall not be named, sounds a little like a mystery series but sorta of sounds like something in Harry Potter, if only I had the time to sit and write out a book, maybe someday when all the projects in the house are done, like solving the mystery of why the tile cement did not hold the copper pipes to the concrete, another issue, another story. This blog for the longest time seemed to be the unmentionable by those who shall not be named and now I feel like (see I feel, you don't feel, you're not writing this) I feel like I've been cut off from my own blog, my own thoughts, like those thoughts aren't real somehow and yet I know they are real and I don't want to question every blog post, should I write it, should I not write it, should I just bury the thought, should I forget that it happened? Will that comment be a taboo thought? I don't want this to be just a surfacy (thanks Zy - perfect word) type of blog. Those who shall not be named won't be mentioned again here but I want to get past the feeling (my feelings again, not yours) that I've been restricted from writing what I see, hear, think, feel. And that if I do happened to make a comment or blog post or two that explains how I feel, that no one reads into it that I'm blaming them for my feelings (that word again, my feelings, not yours).

I thought the concept of a payroll check and federal and state deductions is just a given. Seriously if you've ever had a job and you've gotten a paycheck - isn't it a given that the state and federal government take out taxes. In some countries, they take out more or so I've heard - don't know particulars first hand but I do remember sweden taking alot more than the US but that's not my point here. The point is, you get a paycheck and money will be taken out, why is that so hard to understand? And if you use a payroll company, they will take care of paying for the taxes that are deducted out of your check for you, you don't have to write a separate check.
I had a client today get mad at me because he didn't understand why his bonus check had so much federal and state taxes taken out. I couldn't understand why he didn't get it, why he couldn't get that the federal and state income tax deduction was kind of like estimated taxes for businesses, that is helps with his income taxes. I couldn't explain it because I just thought it was given - that he should know that.
Ok, so I realize now that maybe its not a given and maybe folks just don't know that their federal and state income taxes is paying into the total federal and state taxes they owe at the end of each year. And maybe they don't understand that those taxes are paying for the country to run and spend money on the war, do they live in a bubble? And maybe they don't understand what all the other little taxes are for like ETT, SDI, Soc Security and Medicare but its kind of spelled out on their paycheck stubs and their W2s each year - really do they live in a bubble?
But then again this is the guy who I have to tell him how much money he has in the bank every week, so maybe he does live in a bubble.
**red vines - got I knew i shouldn't have bought those..lol***

I was reading this article about how to communicate with your cat and some of its sounds pretty good like the idea of "if you blink slowly when making eye contact with your cat, they will usually respond by coming over to be petted, as it is a very non-threatening gesture" I have yet to try this one out because first one must find a cat and then get them to look you straight in the eye.
"Scientists have discovered that cats have developed an elaborate communication system with hundreds of vocalizations to tell humans what they want. They know that we are in charge, so it makes sense for the cat to learn to communicate vocally, and to make sure that we understand what they are saying. Cats can also learn to understand what we want them to do by our repetition of words or actions in a consistent manner" I've always known cats were smart, my cats know when I say I'm cold, come in, that means come in the house, I'm freezing although I they idea that they know we are in charge, that person has never lived with multi-cats, we're not in charge, they are, we're their pet..lol
