Do any of my Vox friends know if there is a law having to do with a landlord giving a specific amount of notice to a renter about them doing work to the house they are renting? Our landlord called us the night before a crew replaced the roof on the house. And they were working on the roof for a week, banging away while my wife was trying to work in her home office. Also, they did not cover our things inside the garage, so all the debris fell into all of our things. On top of all that, the guys dropped something on our washer and broke the front of it, and also stole a few cell phones I had sitting in a box in the garage.
Whoa, I didn't realize those tracks were still used!
Dear liberals,
Enough man. I'm already paying all the freaking tax in this country, and now I don't get the rebate? I was going to turn around immediately and put it back into the economy by spending it. But now I guess I can't. Well maybe you'll spend yours on a new laptop, which will find its way into my Apple stock, and then I'll cash it out at some point down the road. Oh, but that might not work either, if your friend Obama or Clinton are elected, because they want to tax the crap out of my capital gains, too. Okay, so I'll buy a house, so I can write off all the mortage loan interest and lower my taxable income (you liberals call this a tax loophole only available to the rich, right?). Oh man, wait a second, I'm paying more in property tax than the 9 other houses on the block, combined, because their taxes only go up minimally, while mine gets set to the sale price of my house. Hmm, but that's fair, right? Since I can buy a house, why shouldn't I pay 50% of the property taxes on my street. I mean, I have the money, so why not take it? And why not increase the taxes on gas while you're at it... it's nearly $1.00 per gallon now, but you know I can handle much more, because I am driving this nice car. And we all know people with more expensive cars should pay higher gas taxes. Of course, that's what is done for registration. Oh and I forgot to thank you for wanting me to pay $4,000 in sales tax for the purchase of my car I bought in Oregon - where they have no sales tax. Do you really think I was trying to get out of paying the sales tax - when I lived there for the previous 15 years, and an additional 11 months before moving here?
I am living paycheck to paycheck these days, trying to get caught up on life. But you... you think I'm not paying enough. Not paying my "fair share" in taxes. If what I am paying now is still not fair, I can't imagine what is.
Kind regards,
Schomer
I look at a picture like this and I just can't believe where these kids came from. They are so old. They really do grow up fast. I know every parent says that. It's true.
Friday afternoon, we decided to jump in the car and do a quick weekend trip to Disneyland. We were a little concerned about spring break crowds, but figured we had been to Disneyland between Christmas and New Years, and nothing could top that.
Our strategy at Disneyland seems to work great for going on continuous rides. When we get in, we pickup a fast pass on a ride - Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, etc. As soon as the ticket says we can pick up another one, we do. And we repeat that process pretty much all day until they stop giving out fast passes. The thing about the fast pass that many people might not know is that they don't expire. The ticket might say "10 AM - 11 AM" - making you think you need to be there between those times - but you don't. They will always honor the fast pass later. So we pick 'em up as quickly as we can, go on rides that have small lines in the AM, then we fast pass our way into the night on all the sweet rides.
Found a roll of duct tape. Started messing around with it. Next thing I know, I've got a wallet, iPhone sleeve, and laptop sleeve! Yeah, I know. Classy.
