Bees have two stomachs.
One for their food. The other for honey making.

The honey is created by a series of fluid exchanges between bees.

When you are enjoying honey, it is essentially bee vomit.

Certain fellow in the cigar manufacturing industry just told me that when he was at two different well known factories in Central America, they were packing up tobacco to send to Cuba.

He also had to say a very large player in the industry just told him at the last Vegas show that he sold $12 million in tobacco to Cuba in 2023.

So it may just be the lower brands and recent because of the lack of Cuban tobacco but I think there's something to that.

Are tax refunds higher in 2024?

The IRS on Friday said that the typical tax refund is about 2.1% higher than a year ago. That means the average taxpayer through February 16 has received about $3,207 from the tax agency, compared with $3,140 at the same time a year earlier.

The article I read was slightly different through March 1st ending date.

The standard deduction is higher so average refunds should be. It raises every 2-3 years or so.
Earned Income credit stayed the same as last year. Child Tax credit is lower than the years that were supplemented by the Covid Relief Bill but same as last year.

8trackdisco, I wish you a happy national 8 track player day. I never knew we had that. I guess it is recently acquired knowledge.

I don’t play or really follow golf but knew the Masters Champion got to pick the dinner menu. What I didn’t know was that the Champion also PAID for the dinner! But I guess it’s only right. Can’t expect an expen$ive dinner to be paid by someone else.

I remember that. I was a big fan of Tiger, like everyone was when he was kicking ass. I didn't think it was "racist". That word gets thrown around like a baseball in a triple play. Remember when The Jefferson's was on TV? The comments they'd throw back and forth? That sheit was funny... and nobody got their feelings hurt.

It was stereotypes... and they're not wrong. It's certainly not racist to point out stereotypes. Maybe not on live TV at a golf event... save it for the sitcoms.
