If you are creating a link, make sure you link to the page with the "comments" box and not the page with five entries. The purpose of Internet Island Topic Posts is to help get the members of the Internet Island Blogring to exchange comments and get to know each other. Please check back periodically for new entries throughout the two week period. The link for the current entry is always at the top of the page of this blog under the header for easy access. If you post a topic entry, please make an attempt to visit the other Islanders who do so as well. It is also a good idea to post the link to the Topic Entry in your own entry so that other interested parties can come here. You can copy/paste the Topic Post links right here in this entry into your own weblog entry box.)
9.01: Tax Time
In the States, Tax Time is almost here. You have to file by April 17. A lot of people wait till the last minute. A lot of people complain about paying taxes, or about how their return amount is too small. Throughout history, societies have taxed mankind. One of the main grievances which sparked the American Revolution was unfair taxing of the colonial people by the Crown. Do you think your country's taxes are fair? What would you do to change the system?
9.02: They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
They don't make them like they used to. It is often said that technology advances rather quickly, especially nowadays. Sometimes we hear that appliances and devices we use in our lives were much better made in the past. What is the oldest "appliance" in your house. How long has it lasted and why?
9.03: What is Your Earliest Memory?
What is your earliest memory? Look deep into your past and blog about the first thing or things you remember. Was it your mother's smile? The view from between the bars of your crib or playpen? Do you remember your first steps? Your first report card?
YOU ONLY HAVE TO WRITE ONE TOPIC. OR MORE IF YOU WANT. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU!
Remember, the tabs at the top of theInternet Island Blogring Page will "sort" the members by latest post, date joined, and alphabetical Username. Use the ring page to find new Islanders, or older ones you might not have visited in a while. It's OUR Island, and we're a great group of people with different interests, fantastic stories, and wonderful lives, and we have a great deal of love for our fellow man.

Hi Mike...My first is up http://www.xanga.com/screaminginmyhead/467906019/item.html I like these, think I'll do them all
Hey Mike
I will post on the topic tomorrow. Wanted to respond to your comment though. I was serious about the mural on the ceiling. I have almost finished it. I will take a pic and post if I can later. I went for the jungle theme. Tropics with lions etc. LOL It is quite striking is somewhat disconcerting to visitors. It's my bathroom though. LOL
Please give my regards to Joel. I can only imagine what he is going through if it is hitting big time now. If he ever needs a little sympathy or a shoulder in the middle of the night I will give him my number. We can talk with the music of flushing toilets in the background.
You know better than I that you have to take the laughter where you can get it. I bonded last night with a cricket. He was cute though. Boy was he having a bad day. Made mine seem so much better.
Hope that you are doing well. I will post on the topic tomorrow.

Hi Mike, sorry I am so behind on this, but here's an entry - finally!

Actually, this year taxes are due on the 17th because the 15th falls on a Saturday.
I think it is fair that we all pay taxes to support the services of the government. Do I always agree with the proportions or uses for which they are spent. No. But that's democracy. I don't always get to have things done my way, and that is fair.
Here is my post on Earliest Memories: http://dishinthedirt.blogspot.com/
LOL.
Okay. I just realized I should probably post this to Xanga since everyone on the ring is probably on Xanga.
