Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor

We have prop two and a half here. Which means they can't raise your taxes more than that percentage of the value of the property. We have had three override votes in the past year with another one just before the holidays scheduled. You have to vote to override to increase property taxes. So far it has been turned down. They will keep putting on the special ballot until people get tired of going to vote. Sooner or later it will pass then you can't go back. It wouldn't be so bad if you actually could point to something more you got for the increases.

Now that is nuts!

Yes - that's the point. My taxes have increased 150% in 10 years. What service improved 150%?

ngam, who decides the value of your property? We're do for a re-evaluation this year. I'm sure that will be another 100 bucks a month

venu, try an extra $320 a month - that's what we just received.

Well the town does according to current sale values. You can appeal if you think it is wrong. Property prices have been going down, will that make it lower?

Yes, but if enough people get theirs lowered, they will have to raise the taxes on everyone to make it up. You can't win.

Whoa, that 320 stopped me in my tracks. That's absurd!!

The Superintendent makes $250K per year. A number of other Administrators make more than $150K.

OK, the last several posts have been way too coherant and logical and appropriate to the one before it. Let's get back on track here.

Do slugs actually serve a purpose? Where is their place in the natural order?

So are you thinking about resuming a career in another field? The price is right!

and how about FLEAS?

It's never late till Midnight. Then it's early.

LC is right. Things got way too lucid.
Another time wasting stupid dog trick. give them one grape and then count how many times they spit it out, look at it, pick it up, spit it out, look at it, pick it up..........................

TICKS......... the poster bug for non essential, foul, blood sucking beings put on this planet.

Sorry got off topic there for a minute. Weeeee...ouch!.... fell off my tricycle.

How did we all survive tarred over playgrounds? If you fell off the swing you skinned your knees.

Next time you held on tighter!

Do anarchists have meetings??

This meeting will come to order!

Let me know if this thread is taking long to load for anyone. I'll continue on another one since Dave is away.

It is over 400 posts, might be a good idea.

Just met a neighbor's dog in my driveway. White male pit bull. His name is Diesel. I want him to go home and stay there. Electric fences do not keep other animals OUT.

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

Awww! Way too cute.

New thread started! Go here for more incoherence.

I hope it's a prequel - can't get enough of those.

It's a skipquel.

It doesn't matter if all things are equal.

Heat warnings out for the NE tomorrow. That's a big change from just two and three days ago with high temp's not hitting 60.

Of course it is going to hit 90 degrees plus - with high humidity. I am going to Tanglewood - and I think anything over 72 degrees is pushing the limits of tolerance . . . .

You'll be nice and cool under the trees, sitting on the cool grass and chilling out. Enjoy!

thanks! We will try. David is buying blackberry wine...yum.

WOW! Then gone?

Why, oh why?

I think the password is: goat cheese.

Thank God, Michael Vick has found religion.

It was lost?

You do know that god spelled backwards is . .

I'm just amazed at the coincidence of finding religion while admitting his guilt in torturing God's creatures.

Everybody finds God after they're found guilty. It follows the formula set out by the PR people. Paris said the same thing. I think she lost him since.

No one really buys this load of apology do they?

I would - if I could use it for compost and if they delivered it for free!

I don't believe a word of the apology. It was all for show.

Great response AYankeeCat! very clever :-)
