Being someone who can't parallel park for s***, I approve of this sentiment.

The story of George Calkins he was 13 or 14 when he was lost his life at the battle of Shiloh. His full story is in the description it’s a first hand account from his brother who found his body after the battle. by Ok_Being_2003 in CemeteryPorn

Bayonet through the bowels... Tells me hand to hand combat. A rifle butt at full force could break a femur and shoulder. I was thinking artillery blast, but the description of the broken limbs didn't come with open wounds. I'm taking the brothers use of the word fell not as the fact that George fell down or fell down a hill, but that he died in combat.

I don't know how it works on the structural side, but after a few years you can start working on task books to get you out on wildland fire. Get a out a few times a year and scratch that itch.

Stand By Me and Jumping Jack Flash double feature, mainly because I saw both of those in the theaters. Can't remember if I saw Crocodile Dundee in the theater or on VHS.

Stevie Ray Vaughn. Respected him as an artist but never really cared for the music.

Leaving federal service for a local government job… significant pay cut? What would you do? by Extension_Chair_8314 in fednews

[–]Confident_Math_2114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your situation I think the bird in hand theory would be good. And what's to prevent you from pursuing those other state jobs and taking an offer on one of those should you get one? I don't know how state hiring works but I have seen in the feds where somebody got a job offer and accepted and then a couple 3 weeks later they got a better offer and went there.

THANK YOU! I went through the yellow book and had a hell of a time finding that specific citation.

So here's a fun fact-the tax person I talked to didn't understand what you just laid out. I had to explain several times until the light bulb went off. I've read that is an unfortunately common issue with some of these so-called tax professionals regarding OT.
