Thanks man.

Nothing feeble about that one...you sell yourself short!

I wish I had the time to go somewhere remote and dark and take some pictures...that would make taking pix like these a lot easier. Thanks for the compliment.

Wow. That is AMAZING. I had no idea you could see stuff like that w/o some government owned shite.

Well, you know I used to be a sattelite controller--it wasn't too hard to hack into the Hubble's onboard computer.

OH MY GOD!! YOU SPOTTED JESUS!!
HE REALLY DOES EXIST!

Don't get angry, I just have nothing else better to do on a Sat at 3AM.
I do think the photo is bad butt!
It's Jesus in a gas mask.. Probably because were polluting the solar system and that's the only way he can survive up there.

Hello. Who are you and how did you get here? :)

I'm from heaven ;) if_i_ever March 23 2008, 01:52:52 UTC

I've been online friends with 'elfhaime' and 'violetgrave' for many years now. I was on her friends page and I saw your photo.

I had nothing else to do at 3am. So there I was, finding Jesus. It was a good night.

What column on the 1040A is the, "Holy shit we spent $2500 on the house in one day" column?

merlinsdaughter March 23 2008, 15:38:06 UTC

I didn't do the taxes, but Michael did yesterday, so I'm not sure what column it is, but I assume maybe it's your property taxes. If so, stop whining. $2500 is nuthin'! :P (And at least it's tax-deductible AND over the years you building equitity. You boys really like to gripe about that.)
