Tech is great, but that earned income tax is like a bi-weekly punch directly in the nose! 

Downtown Denver near the light rail in an A class neighborhood, I assumed he'd be looking for an FHA multi and would pay through the nose for it. 

Rather than send that money up his nose, which is what he wanted to do, I insisted on using that money to buy a house.  

The adhesive is on the edge of the stair nosing and the bottom of each stair.

It's very easy to get off track and not know it until you're hundreds of transactions down the road... then you have to pay out the nose for someone to go back and forensically audit your bad habits, fix it, and move forward from there.

I've also found drug paraphernalia, kegs, and things on stuff on the walls from someone's nose.

The inefficiencies and quality definitely take a nose dive, but is it better for all to have mediocre care or for only some to have really good care and some to have none?

When it either fractured or fell over the water damage was extensive and Smelly.  

Even in normal lights, some lead round nose bullets patina to a near black to the point that they can't be seen in the chamber.

I don’t know how I did it, except Mommy told me to and except I do keep my nose to the grindstone and except I’m glad it was 2002 and not 2006 because I was sure it was a bubble then too.
