 NoStateIncomeTaxJobs.com.  I know, I know.  NoStateIncomeTaxJobs.com is a rather long domain name-to read, to say, to key.  There are days my fingers cramp after typing in my own website name.

My toddler and I went to the grocery store yesterday morning.  I placed him in the shopping cart, grabbed a few items and went to check out.  My items totaled less than $20 and I had 2 $20 bills.  I gave the sales clerk a twenty dollar bill, received my change and left the store […]
