What are you guys doing right now?

They sorta do that here too... But I don't know all the details.

It's complicated... Just like our income tax system.

By being so convoluted, it's easier for them to rip us off.

Yep. It's driven many a pensioner in an old house to sell up, just because the value of the land is so high that they can't afford the land tax.

What's yours like? Ours is about $1100/year, I think.

High taxes in Cal are one of the reasons I left.

I only have to pay about $4000 a year for my farm. But I have various exemptions on one of the lots (agricultural and homestead) but not on the other. :sweat:

Editing a drama, chatting with someone, browsing the boards, and eating some banana bread.

Not surprised about NorCal...

We're getting older and getting poorer.

The money for all the social and entitlement programs have to come from somewhere. :bleh:

Am I in the right thread? :confused:

ANYWAY, I'm now going to call people up to pick up their stuff. I should've done this earlier, but I was too busy with other important things (laptop-related stuff)

Procrastinating on my last essay for this quarter, which accounts for 20% of my grade :sweat:

Yeow.

You must get a Christmas card from the electric company. :sweat:

Cost an extra $100 a month last year. :sweat:

One of my neighbors has so many lights on her two acres that it cost her an extra $600 :shocked:

People do come from all over town to see her place. It is amazing!

Shuffling through my mp3s, waiting for Ugly Betty to start. :)

3 sentences in a row by one character:

"Director of the mechanics in a forlorn"

"ls a life and death scene saw person"

"Rely on a hard surface is of no use"

That's supposed to mean.... ????

Thanks to Cori, the correct meaning of these is:

"The Director did maintenance on the
suicide aircraft there."

"They are people who have seen
a lot of life and death."

"Relying on your looks won't get you anywhere!"

In context, it actually makes sense :)
