I'm just really curious as to what everyone on here actually does for a living.

As for me, I'm a freshman in college majoring in physics.

I am a happy and curious man who surpasses everyone else living here at Peoples Heart. I was able to make my own dream catchers by age 5 and by age 8 I was making money around the commune cleaning bong stems. This is where my progressive enlightenment truly took hold when the “elders” chastised me for actually charging for my stem cleaning services. I soon learned that I should work for the common good, not greed and profit.

My stem cleaning enterprise continues to this day despite what the elders had told me and in return for their silence I reduced my fee by 30%. This is where I learned the concept of moral relativity. Working for the greater good and sharing is important but the greater good is better served when one caters to their own wants and desires according to how they feel at the time.

There.

Ta!

You're such an unbelievable asshole that it's hard to keep up. I would assume that your real profession is something horrific and socially destructive, like you're the guy who denies legit claims for a crooked insurance company, or a prison guard who rapes the (male) inmates, or Paris Hilton's publicist.

Way to bring your bullshit 19th-century political philosophy into an entertaining thread.

What exactly is a "casual chef". I know this is wrong, but my brain turns that phrase into:

"Well, the recipe calls for 1/4 cup, but let's just make it a 1/2 cup and see what happens."

<grin>

Do you live in a state that has a sales tax? Does it tax pottery and/or wood? If the answers to those two questions are yes, there are taxes. You probably also should be filing an income tax return, but let's worry about sales tax first because that's imposed at a rate of between 4% and 8% of gross.

Oh... yeah... um... I'm a tax lawyer.

Did that too. Got pushed out by some bikers. Upon reflection, it was a good thing.


What do I do now?

I produce and package about 50 tonnes of honey a year, employ my sons, and try to keep my blood pressure to a realistic level.
