Lady freedom is not just another pretty face

"a Newsroom Veteran"???   

Hey DUmmie, you had Wynona Ryder's job in Reality Bites and you even managed to eff THAT up!

[GOBUCKS]

AMBER!?!? What kind of name is Amber?

It must be her shotgirl name.

[njpines]

Guess that shot girl job didn't pan out. She does have a face for radio.

Hey, I did radio all through college and a little after!

She has a face for radio. You, on the other hand, have a face for television.

A convenient store is the next generation of a convenience store. They are passe to any pearl clutchers anyway. The feature that represents the evolution of the more modern convenient store is the landscaping layout around the property includes extensive shrubbery and bushes suitable for lurking within.

I tended to do the Cindy Brady freeze any time a camera was pointed at me.    I preferred to be behind the camera or in the control room.

She managed to cash her first paycheck!  35 years old, she must be so proud.

Got my first pay check from the job yesterday, cashed it today.
And boy was I jumped on!

$160 right off the top and they are trying to get me to give more!

I did pick up some things I do need. That way they can't charge me for them. The store price is way cheaper!

I sent for a PayPal MasterCard prepaid debit card. It is to be to me in 5-10 days.

I will close my DFS case here in MO via phone when I get to AZ so they will send me the paperwork that way I have proff of residentce again for other things.

Boy! This is a lot of HAPPY work! I AM GOING HOME!!

Why would they be wanting more money out of her paycheck?

The taxpayers of Arizona are thrilled.

Aw, horseshit.  You can go to WalMart and buy a Bluebird card for $3 right there.  Paypal.  Jeez.

And no, the dipshit didn't fork over half her check.  Not. Even. CLOSE.  Assuming she made $8/hr for a 40-hour week, and going to www.paycheckcity.com, do a little number crunching, and before medical/dental/etc., she'd be looking at taking home about $256.45 a week, for a witholding of $63.55/week.  Not $160. 

Broken down, she's looking at the following deductions:
Federal $33.07
SS $19.84
Medicare $4.64
MO state tax $6.00

Then consider at the end of the year she'll be getting all her federal back, plus about $4-5K on top of that thanks to EIC.  Yeah, real broke up about it, toots.

Just for the hell of it, I checked the figures using my information as a guide.  Dead on.

I don't think the Joplin city bicycle is talking about tax withholding.

She previously said that her family wanted to put some kind of hold on her, because she owed them money. I think she's saying that she cashed her check, and her family expects her to pay back what she owes them, and to pay her fair share of rent, food, utilities, etc.

I also suspect that's the other reason she's trying to RUNNOFT to Arizona to live in a homeless shelter and draw welfare.

[NHSparky]

What?  She's expected to PAY BILLS like the rest of us?  She's no longer allowed to be a freeloader?

Why, the NERVE of some people!

LFR, being a college grad, assumes that everyone knows what she's referring to. She thinks on a higher level than most.  I took it to mean her sister took the 160 bucks. But then, what do I know?

Okay, let's just assume for sake of discussion that she does a 40-hour week at $8/hr, and takes home that $256.45.  Now let's further assume that her family "asks" for $160/week to cover groceries, rent, utilities, etc.  That leaves her with $96.45/week to do with as she pleases.

That's more than I have when all the bills are paid, unless I've worked some OT the previous pay period.

That will fill up my 10 MPG truck. <---------------- for lurking DUmmies.

I think the sisters quietly made the bus ticket purchase, and are trying to recoup their cost.
They'd be better off and money ahead just to forget about it.
Fold the cards, ladies.  Take the loss and consider it money well spent.

I think the sisters are genuinely concerned for their sibling, and want her to do well, but they see she has not the tools or the skills; she's still very immature.

I think the sisters should take her paycheck and dole out what they think she needs, as she obviously has some wildly irrational notions about what she needs.

I think she'd be in good hands if her loving caring sisters micro-managed her life until she grows up.

Assuming she made $8/hr for a 40-hour week

Well, she may make $8 an hour. Among the tiny segment of democrats who work, that's an average wage.

But this assumption overlooks the the fact that the democrat messiah has introduced his people to the new 29-hours-per-week standard.

It'll be interesting to see if that loss of income among democrats causes a decline in the price of weed.

8 dollars per hour plus what she can steal. That may or not be up to 70 dollars now.

Embezzle, borrow, loan, and pawn. All euphemisms for "steal", but I am hoping someone will appreciate my expounding.

All of these terms are inherently racist. My sources tell me that euphemism may also be racist, so tread lightly there. Five more guaranteed words (possibly six) to add to your list of banned, racist terms from just one sentence is a pretty nice haul. Well done !

I am looking for an assistant editor. It looks like you may have a real knack for this.
