I'll take this bait, and do it without sticking my foot in my mouth! Love my old copy of Clapton's 461 Ocean Blvd, got a supposed "Like New" Polygram/RSO 1977 Slowhand LP coming my way for less than the remastered 200 gram copy! My infamous puppy ate the original copy years ago. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, the little card came the other day for property taxes, CHEAP compared to yours. $474.87, this is the total minus the $234.00 homestead credit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All property taxes have been paid I think you should do it, tell the wife what you're doing, this way it's not from her so you will not have to take any Schiit from her. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will count the 4K player being delivered today, close enough, we really don't do anything for each other, just a little for our kids, and mostly for the grandkids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use each and every syllable to talk about a Mercedes, BMW or not in the least a Koenigsegg! ---- although the Koenigsegg is a grown ups Saab, built it Sweden, not Germany. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons we like it here, cost of living is low. 2452 sf not counting porches and 5.75 acres, appraised at 175 about 10-15 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate taxes. I had it easier than some that i knew that not only had high property taxes; but, lived in communities where there were association fees, security fees, and something called Mello-Roos tax (which is a special tax for certain areas to pay for public services). You have to make a decent income just to pay these things, then you can worry about the mortgage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to make a decent income just to pay these things, then you can worry about the mortgage. Couldn't make it out there, cost to much. It should be cheap to live in California, considering your house could shake apart at any time, catch on fire and it's not impossible for it to slide off into the ocean. This is not even considering some of the residents or crazy rules. But it is very pretty. Hope the fires end soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
