Posted By: clhmt on 2007-08-16
In Reply to: Property taxes...oh my goodnes!! - IndianaMT
I read that they were increased between 30-60%! And the state's spending increased by about 30%. So, they spend more, and the average Joe gets screwed.
I'm not saying it won't happen here, but we're on 3/4 acre, and our taxes (property and house) was about $280. for the year. I thank God for that!

National Malaria Day
I know that mosquito nets on beds could save so many lives in Africa. At the risk of sounding totally ignorant, what about during the day when they are not sleeping? I am going to discuss with my youth group tonight raising money to help buy nets, (we take on a different project every 6 months), and I would like to have as mush info as possible. I went to NothingButNets.net and it really didn't give a lot of info except the benefits of bed netting.
What is this? National HOAX day, or something?..nm

Is that a new way to increase production?
I remember a few months back about someone posting if they wear a bra or not while typing.
Haven't heard about that technique before! LOL
It is possible to increase your income
Pay off the house! Congratulations!:-)
Is it possible to increase you income temporarily to put towards the cc debt? Can your dh work side jobs or a second job?
After you pay off the house, I would start pay off the cc from the smallest balance first.
200
2K
4K
10K
I would not withdraw from retirement but stop paying it right now. After you pay off the house, put all your money into paying off the cc debt.
For the 4K and 10K I would write them a letter and try to get a lower APR.
Along with the federal tax increase, my
state tax went up 30 cents per pack, so that is a total of 90 cents per pack or $9 a carton more.

No SS Increase! Not just politics sm
This is for everyone who has a parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle/etc. who has worked their USA hands and/or kiesta off all their lives. We paid off the big loans and we punish those older citizens who gave it their all, put their kids through college on their own dime and/or moreso to build this country! Booh, hiss!!!! I thought we made a good choice, but now I am rethinking me thoughts! This is personal, not politics!! Thmbs down, where do we write, anyone know or care to know???

New cause for blood pressure increase sm
Typed in a report today: His blood pressure is 160/100, however, he attributes this to his wife's driving.
Typical male remark, LOL. 
Yes, but their source is the National Enquirer
I will believe it when there's a credible source and in the meantime, hope it isn't true.
Increase your insurance deductibles
Build up an emergency fund and increase your auto and homeowner insurance premiums to $1,000. You’ll save hundreds per year in premium.
Interesting about the national spelling bee...
7 of the 10 finalists are Indian.. probably American raised, but there were a few parents in the audience in Indian garb. The winner's last name is Shivashankar (sp!). Man, though, all these kids are really sharp! They were allowed to ask questions about the origin of the words, etc.
How many of us MT's are former spelling bee winners? I bet lots. 8th grade county champ here. My final word was ptomaine.
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

Indiana taxes
A family I know in Fort Wayne area had taxes double this year since annex of Allen County to Fort Wayne. What can I say, welcome to my world in New Jersey (12,000 for property taxes in a townhouse with no backyard)
Indiana here and boy did I feel it!
 I suddenly had a "vibrating bed" for two minutes!
Here In Indiana We Spell That
You didn't say how old she is though, so that might not be the problem. Just sayin'
Did anyone watch the national spelling bee last night...sm
and feel like a dunce like I did? My husband & I felt brilliant when we were able to spell the words they used.... but missed most.
Increase your line count by chewing gum!
I have tried this off and on for a few months and every time I chew gum all day my line counts go up. For some reason they say spearmint is the best. I find that it increases my focus and keeps me alert and helps me type faster!!
Current studies are looking into three areas of potential benefits, the company says:
• Stress management: What's behind the common practice of chewing gum to relieve tension? Wrigley cites research showing that it stimulates certain areas of the brain, but wants to go further. "Consumers tell us they use it for that, and yet we don't understand how that comes about," Kumar said.
• Weight management: As a 5- to 10-calorie substitute for a high-calorie snack, gum could obviously reduce caloric intake. But does it help suppress appetite? "It's not that chewing gum has any particular magic, but it can be a useful behavior modification pill," said Gilbert Leveille, executive director of the Wrigley Science Institute, which held its inaugural meeting in Chicago in December.
• Cognition and focus: Is gum-chewing a way to increase focus, concentration and alertness? Wrigley points to studies that show that it increases blood flow to the brain but would like to see it linked definitively to higher concentration levels.
Apparently it's national cheeseburger day today..sm
or that's what I'm being told by the kids.
I did see a sign in Kwik Trip saying it was, so I guess I have to believe them:-)
Of course, they also told me it would be against the law if we didn't have cheeseburgers, and I certainly can't set a good example for them if I break the law. Yeah...not buying that one, but I'll make cheeseburgers anyway:-)
Yesterday was National Men Make Dinner Day
Too bad I just found about it. Did any of you know about this?
National Geographic animal stories
Especially the one about the bush dogs, or the Japanese snow monkeys. My sister says there's a sad one about a fox, too. Don't ever watch these right before you're expecting company, or going out! :(
Huge increase in utility bill
What would you do? I just opened my gas bill yesterday and found that my gas bill is 6 x last month's. I live in an apartment and the only gas appliance I have is the water heater. There have not been other people visiting me (I live alone) and I use cold water for clothes washing 99% of the time. I do use my dishwasher about 3 times a week...trying to eat at home! I would have to take 10 long showers a day for this kind of increase. In other words, I do not believe my consumption has increased so much or the rate has recently increased this much!
Many years ago I had a similar thing happen, instead of gas it was an electric bill increase, and it turned out to be a faulty air conditioner. I paid 3 outrageous power bills before that problem was solved and I didn't try to recoup what I paid from the apartment complex. This time I'm not going to do that, as I'm now older and meaner : ) If it turns out to be some sort of leak, can I take the apartments to small claims court? Any similar experiences? TIA...
East Central Indiana
It probably was from a Band Booster fundraiser. Remember the band contests at the State Fair?
It would actually be more appropriate to say it was in East Central Indiana - Muncie-Anderson area.
I felt the earthquake in Indiana sm
It was really scary. My daughter was upstairs while I was downstairs working. It woke her up and scared her to death.
Earth Quake...NC Indiana
I live in north central Indiana, and slept right through it. When my sister got to work her boss was talking about it. What was it rated? I haven't heard.

National Domestic Violence Website and phone #...
If you haven't already visited this website, it's very useful: www.ndvh.org, National Domestic Violence website. The hotline # is 1-800-799-7233, available to all 50 states. You can call them just to talk and, if wanted, they can help you formulate a plan to get yourself and your children out of this situation. Ask yourself this question: Do you want to live like this, in fear, walking on egg shells, for the rest of your life? I feel for you and I'll keep you in my prayers. One other thing, I don't want to be alarmist, but when you visit any websites, like the above, you might want to make sure you erase the history on your computer each time so no one else can see where you've been.
Blizzard-like conditions here in Indiana. Level II. SM
Level II means no cars on road unless absolutely necessary. My son was sent home from work. Calling for 8-10 inches of snow. It's the blowing snow that is dangerous.
Sam-E found at wally world, CVS, etc. take 1 for 2-3 weeks, no improvement increase to 2 q.d. work

Good advice. In this economy, lay low. Sounds like a PT job may be in order to increase income. (

I felt it here in NE Indiana for about 10-15 seconds, rattled the windows and shook the couch. nm

Fox news
And . . . you're more upset about the poor grammar than the actual subject of the story - a man shooting his supervisor!

well Howard murdered Daniel and Anna Nicole for one reason only-- dinero there are things reported here in Broward-Dade that arent on the national news
They better not. According to FOX NEWS
she was handcuffed and tossed in cruiser. I missed it. SHUCKS.
news

any more news?

Yes, that's news to me too!!
we have pets in our house but can't say I've ever heard the above.
Old news
Yes maybe old news, but isn't it still illegal?
Much news
Thanks for asking. CJ had an ultrasound, which confirmed the pneumothorax but they could not find any tear or other reason for it. Because they had serial chest x-rays (yay me) and now the Doppler, they are confident there is NO LUNG CANCER. They were therefore good to perform thoracentesis, and this released 3 liters of air (wow). CJ is now resting much more comfortably. They will check for any re-accumulation of air at 5:00 and release anything they find, and if all goes well, we can pick him up at 5:30. Then we will hope that his body is able to heal. There will be rechecks. We will be tapering off the prednisone but give him doxycycline to prevent infection. Pretty good compared to thinking we were going to have to put him to sleep, eh??
I will attempt to get some money back from that first vet. Turns out the pneumothorax was clear as day on that FIRST chest x-ray, the one they only took because I was so insistant he couldn't breathe.
Prayers are appreciated!
I saw this on the news also
And was wondering the same dang thing. People do not use their heads for some reason. And then go on TV and expose their stupidity...not me! If a psychiatrist asked me to pull up my shirt, I'd lay him out and leave...then call the cops.
Wow. So much. First of all, I'm sorry for this news. Awfully sorry. sm
I can't imagine that kind of diagnosis.
After being severely depressed most of my life and then finding God (please don't move this to the religion board), I have determined in my heart and mind to live life to the fullest each and every day. I play lots of board games with my kids, call my mom, keep scrapbooks and journals, teach 2 classes at our church, and I study the Bible avidly.
I try to show love and kindness to every person in my life. Whenever I'm with others, I try to make it a point to listen twice as much as I talk and show genuine care and concern. I call people I haven't seen much in church to check up on them. I pray for people all the time. I take long, hot showers. When I am off work, I actually don't work! I can go on and on and on. I don't want to think of "if I only had so many days left," because I know that tomorrow may be the day I die. I don't want to waste any of it right now.
I am aspiring to be a speaker and travel the country giving my testimony, writing books, and encouraging women (especially depressed women) that THERE IS AN AWESOME PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. You just have to find out what it is and live it. Every day.
I saw this in the news also. They say that one
of the things that may have helped save his life is that workers like this are taught what to do and how to brace their body in case of a fall. I can't imagine I would have my wits about me enough to remember what I was taught. This truely is amazing and definitely the work of the Lord.
News to me
Riley Children's Foundation -Riley Hospital for Children is my choice. :)
I saw this on the news the other day...how sad
they let out child molsters and rapists at the drop of the hat but it's a big deal to let this guy out long enough to see his daughter. what a sick society we live in.
Yes, just saw that on the news. Here is more
BREAKING NEWS
updated 11 minutes ago
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut - A spokeswoman for screen legend Paul Newman said Saturday that the actor had died at age 83.
Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said Newman died Friday of cancer. No other details were immediately available.
Newman was nominated for Academy Awards 10 times, winning a regular Oscar in 1987 for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones. He was equally at home in comedies such as "The Sting" and dramas such as "Hud."
So sad. What a handsome man he was.
This is old news....
Rachel Maddow, news reporter of MSNBC just came out.
