Re: Did the IRS like you or not?
The IRS likes everyone. You pay them for nothing (taxes), and you get all excited when you're getting a refund. Meanwhile, they laugh at you because you just loaned them money all year at 0% interest. Ask them if they'll give you that same rate on a loan. 
In the end, you and I are all losers.

Its not like regular Mexico down there eather. They survive off of tourism only so there is a cop (not a crooked one at that) one every corner.....just don't wander off into the jungle

Hawaii also has very active volcanoes. Last we were down there a lava flow shut down the southern highway. We got to take the north route to get back to the other side of the rock. I don't know if it has changed in the last 6 years, but the north route is interesting in a scary kinda way.

I undersatand good and well what "services" our taxes offer us, but I am also aware of the bullshnit that they fund as well... I look at it as a small price to pay to live in the best ------- country in the world.
Period.

I haven't even done my taxes this year yet. I only speak the truth, not from emotions. Plus, I'm a business owner, so I get to spend all my money BEFORE it's taxed and then it isn't income. Your money is taxed first, then you get to spend it.

Just someplace nice before the baby comes in August/Sept. I'd like to go back down to Mexico but further down instead of just TJ.
Cancun is all grand and what not. But If you are looking for a great place in mexico for the best value, It has to be Puerto Vallarta. I have went the last three augusts and each time it was for 6 days 5 nights all inclusive. It only costs $750, for all inclusive (which includes flight, hotel, unlimited food, unlimited beverages, unlimited alcoholic beverages which is fan ------- tastic. Honestly Puerto Vallarta is great, they have a wide variety of great night clubs, and It also Lives strictly off tourism. Cancun and Cabo, Are a little more glamerous, but They also go for around 1k all inclusive at the minimum. You Could have one hell of a time in puerto vallarta for 2k. Don't let the hype of cancun and cabo fool you. Just do your research and have a chat with your travel agent and you'll see what I mean.
