you can appeal the value of your home to the tax assessor's office -
Posted By: Amanda on 2009-01-25
In Reply to: Maybe I didn't explain myself very well...(sm) - Just the big bad
I heard a lot of that was happening now and that the values were being adjusted, which is making taxes on the homes go down; however, that means the cities/counties are taking in less tax income and are therefore going to have to raise the millage rates.

This is not an appeal......it is asking for a vault
nm
Why didn't you appeal the assessment to the county?
If the bank said it was only worth $8k but the County says it is worth $100K, it seems like there should have been an appeal filed with that large of a discrepancy.
Attitudes like this give Obama more appeal.

Go home Obama! Go home McCain!

Go home
Now, isn't it you, AG, who whine everytime someone you think is a liberal, posts on your board? Yet, here you are posting on the liberal board, where you clearly don't belong. Hmm, must be that conservative double standard again. Wow!
Anyway, girls shouldn't be posting on a board for grownups.
Thanks for the welcome home.
My mom (god rest her soul) would be absolutely thrilled I've come back to "the real world". She would then probably say to me "Bout time you got off those drugs", and we would both have a good laugh.
I have mixed feelings about Hannity. He's okay sometimes and other times I think he's condescending and smug. In all fairness to him I also think that way about Alan Colmes, Keith Obermann, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other "extreme" media people. I do understand what you mean when you asked if I was Hannitized. I do like his radio show when I get a chance to listen to him. (I just wish he'd get a new theme song and not that woman who is screaming (got to cover my ears when she belts out "Let Freedom Ring". I understand her message and the words, but if she could just sing them a bit softer. :-) That's neat you met him? What was he like. He seems like a nice person in real life.
DH people will say means darling husband. In my case it means Dam% husband. Ha ha
I think they should all go home
and let Wall Street bail themselves out.
This article sure hit home.
I remember feeling the very same way that Ted Rall felt, thinking the very same things, and realizing that if I'm no genius and can figure this out, why can't Bush?
And I agree that the last paragraph IS good!!! But all they do is talk. None of them have the guts to go anywhere near the Sunni Triangle. They're nothing but hot air, which is good for them, because they're going to need all the hot air they can get.
I can't wait until, say, February. If you think it's tough now just filling the car tank, what's it going to be like for those with oil heating? I wonder how easy it is to constantly chant the mantra "I love Bush" (or whatever they've been programmed to chant) when your teeth are chattering from the freezing cold. And I wonder how many, once they regain the consciousness they lost while opening their heating bills, will still think Bush is so great. 
That is his vacation home
Or should I say his $10 million retreat in New Hampshire. His legal residence is a big colonial in Massachusetts. You know, the one where he had the illegal immigrants doing his lawn work. I actually voted for McCain today just so I could vote against this guy.
Oh please let him go home in his truck....I'd
rather do it myself!! LOL.
I think that the democrats need to go home...sm
and let the republicans sort it out with their president. Hurt feelings are not a reason to vote for or against something that is good for the country because you are trying to make a point. What a bunch of middle-aged/elderly/men crybabies. I hope that the president lays it on the line to those that voted against his plan.
I think the Republicans should go home...
and let the Democrats, who have the majority anyway, put their money where their mouth is and pass it. Put their country first instead of their political futures. Take a chance. They have it in their power to pass it. The Republicans can't. They don't have enough votes, even if they wanted to.
And the first one to head home should be
so what do you use to heat your home
Just curious. We're putting in Geothermal. It's about $20K to put it in, but I think it'll be worth it in the long run.
I have my gun for home protection..
While I hope that I never have to use it, there is no more unmistakable sound than loading that shotgun!
The point that really hit home with me..sm
was that by voting for Obama we are, in God's eyes, an accessory to murder. I have always been against abortion, always will be, but the gravity of the situation never really struck home with me. Of course, this pales in comparison to the fact that innocent babies are being murdered each and every day.
Abortion will never be done away with, but at least we don't have to play a part in making it legal. Like you said...what's next? Our elderly who are seen by some as a burden on the Medicare system? How about the mentally ill who may never be cured of their illness? Would forced abortion become law to control the population? What about accident victims who have desirable blood and tissue types for organ transplant? Will they be killed or allowed to die in order that someone else might live? Say these ideas are far fetched, but who is to say what might come about next once the way is made clear for abortions on demand to be legal?
Do you only have 1 channel in your home?
Do you live out in the sticks? Nothing but just the local channels? Why cant you change the channel that you have or just turn the frik… television off. If I don’t like a program off it goes. So simple.
Home of Bob Corker...(sm)
Chatt. Yeah -- that would be our former mayor who did that number on Harold Ford --- *call me Harold.* From what I understand the actress that did that now can't get a job. I hope Harold runs again, but I doubt he can get elected. He's too much like Obama for TN.
north to home, are you seeing this
somebody else is using the E word!
When a soldier comes home...

Has anyone here ever run for office?
Local,state, whatever. There seems to be a lot of complaining about how terrible the politicians are, but curious to know if anyone has ever run for office or actually held an elected position.
I certainly haven't.
GP, I think you should run for office
then when you get to Washington, you can clean up their act. 
TL office
The office I worked in was in Houston. TL was actually started by an MT. I forget the name.
charity begins at home
Im wondering, with Bush's millions, has he given to the Iraq rebuilding? My mom always taught me, charity begins at home..So home first, then American states. Give to Bush's immoral war? I dont know, gonna have to research my soul on that one..
They're coming home to
Why not gt the bog of ugliness is where you feel most at home
stick your hateful nose in the air. You start all kinds of crap then run away. Typical. Don't call people a racist and then expect them to not to respond.
I'm far from home but nothing's going to stop the holidays...
I love it all too gt! Have a chance this year to really dig deep and find out what the holidays are all about, since I'll be far from friends and most family throughout it all. Learning experience! I love tradition though...can't wait for it all.
Gee, Democrat, if your uncle wants to come HOME,
I guess the CONS will start accusing HIM of being against the troops next!
The more their ship sinks, the more angry and ridiculous their posts are, and all I can do is sit here and smile. 
Supporting them would be bringing them home, and then there would...sm
not be such a wish list.
We had a friend stationed in Iraq (she is back now, thank God) and we sent her some lotions and things she asked for, but I'll admit I didn't know there were wish lists like this on the web. From the contacts I have over there with my uncle and brother in law (back now thank God) being males they told us not to send anything because they have/had everything they needed. I have searched the web just now and found many on the web, and I will do whatever my heart and pocketbook leads me to do as far as sending care packages.
You can't judge a book by it's cover. Just because you have 8 boxes in your office ready to go doesn't make you anymore patriotic than the next man.
Last Katrina child goes home
Last Katrina child goes homeBy Tim Reid
A mother and her missing daughter are reunited seven months after a hurricane devastated New Orleans |
|
![src=http://images.thetimes.co.uk/images/trans.gif]() |
THE last of more than 5,000 children missing after Hurricane Katrina has finally been reunited with her mother, ending the largest child-recovery effort in US history.
After seven months of searching by her mother, amid fears that her daughter had died in the flooding in New Orleans that followed the hurricane in August, four-year-old Cortez Stewart was reunited with her family in Texas.
Cortez was the last of the 5,192 Gulf Coast children listed as missing or displaced after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the region. Of those, all but 12 have been found alive and all of those are now back with their parents.
For Lisa Stewart the happy ending came when she was contacted by the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children that said it had found her daughter. “I was overwhelmed, happy, joyous,” she said.
During their separation her daughter’s fourth birthday had passed last November with no sign that she was dead or alive. “It was devastating,” Mrs Stewart said.
When the storm struck, Cortez was with her godmother, Felicia Williams. After seeking refuge in a hotel, Cortez and Ms Williams were winched to safety by helicopter and flown to Atlanta, Georgia.
Mrs Stewart and her five other children were rescued from their home in New Orleans as the floodwater rose.
They were taken to the nearest piece of dry land, an interstate overpass, where they stayed for four days, before being evacuated and placed in a flat in Houston, Texas. For months Ms Williams and Mrs Stewart tried to make contact, not knowing if the other was alive, but without success. Their efforts were hampered by incorrect name spellings and other misleading information given to government officials.
“Many agencies didn’t have a good account of who they were helping,” Bob O’Brien, director of the centre’s missing children division, said. “More than 411,000 were evacuated to more than 40 states, and it became very hard to track the movement.”
The centre traced information about Ms Williams through her former employer and then located relations in Georgia. When Cortez was reunited with her mother and five siblings last week in Houston, Mrs Stewart almost fell upon her, screaming: “The baby! It’s the baby!”
More than 12,000 adults were reported missing after Katrina. About 1,900 are still missing. More than 1,300 others have been confirmed dead. |

Go Obama - go home McCain
My best friend that I was in the Army with 20 years ago just told me that her son went to Kuwait last year, her daughter graduated from high school last year and went straight into the Army and is now in the middle east, and her husband who is a police officer and was in active duty (they met in the army) and the reserves just got called to go over all within the last year. I say Go Obama! We need our troops home in a reasonable time frame. MCain is a war mongerer and will keep this going for the next 100 years (as is his words), and I've heard Hillary is just like McCain and they are on the same team together (what that means I don't know but that's what an article said). I know they are friends and work closely together. So I say please, please, please let Obama win!
I agree! SP needs to be at home with her children!
You CANNOT work a regular fulltime job when your children are small and need you at home, let alone run for VP!!! There is no such thing as, "have it all!" You may THINK you have it all, but if your little ones could talk, they would say that you need to be home with them! They need you! I am so tired of people defending this lady!
She must've had to fly back home and
;D
So, if you knew someone that could build you a home
you wouldn't like that? You're so full of crap!
Of course you would. If I knew a contractor that could help me build a house for less, charge me less and still get the job done, you darn tootin I would.
Stop acting so self-righteous.
Even I got better sense than that. I'm a DEMOCRAT who would love to know someone to help me cut corners to build a nice new home.
I'm sure we could do this 'til the cows come home.
I brought this into the discussion in the context of discrediting worn-out, bankrupt Ayers slurs and Obama hate speech, designed to distract from critical national campaign issues and ignite culture wars that divide us along lines of race, ethnicity, class and patriotism. Now that you have your list, you might pull it out sometime if you ever encounter worn out, bankrupt McCain hate speech. You just might have time to expand your list, 'cause you'll be waiting 'till the cows come home on that one.
My list will be much more useful. In the current acidic enviroment, it will be used many, many times in one day. It is being expanded also as we speak. Here's a few I over looked:
1. 1. Ken Adelman, Assistant to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, now member of Defense Policy Board, member of the think tank on Project for the New American Century (Cheney/Rumsfeld, Wolfewitz neocon vision, Deputy Ambassador fo the United Nations, Director of US Arms Control and Disarmament under Reagan, Committee on the Present Danger, Office of Economic Opportunity under Ford.
2. Michael Smercornish, talk show host, substituted for Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck and Chris Matthews.
Haven't had time to expand the 70 admirals and generals but am working on. In the meantime, you could research those 200 McCain lays claim to while you are waiting for Obama supporters to give you your opening.
Okay sweetie, should you be robbed in your own home...
those flowery words of love, peace and harmony won't protect you, but my gun sure would.
Look, we can argue about this until the cows come home
I'm not talking about the small businesses who GROSS maybe $250,000 or even $500,000, it's what they get to keep. I speak of big businesses....like your oil companies......they're pocketing billions with the help of their oil buds in the White House. If you're in favor of that more power to you. I am NOT. It's high time these greedy guts pay their fair share. Research and see how many of the super wealthy don't pay ANY tax.
We have brought home 2 soldiers
recently to our town, unfortunately, it was too late for them.
I will post til the cows come home
I don't care how many days til the election. I don't care if its election day. I don't even care if McCain wins. I will keep posting the truth about Obama until he is exposed for the fraud he is. BTW, I've been posting all along this isn't anything I started just a few days before the election. If someone out there reads my posts and realize that people are trying to con them into voting for a man who is a liar and will possibly put us into the third world war because he's changing the constituion and buying his way in, then I am satisfied. The good thing is people are waking up. If he wins I will continue to post whenever the truth about him is exposed. It's a disgrace to our country that so many will follow him and not research. I as many others would never vote for a person of Obama's questionable character. I'm not going to be one like one of the haulocaust victims that stand idly by while our country is taken over. I will stand up for my rights. I served in the Army and I deserve the right to live in a free country! So go ahead and rebuttle if you want. I want the truth known and the American people have the right to know the truth!
Kaydie, the cows just came home.n/m
xx
I wish we could go back to the staying at home and
supporting our man kind of life. I would love it. 
Many of them are innocent and should be sent home to their families.
You should be more frightened of the American prisoners than the alleged terrorists that we have illegally held in Gitmo and tortured with the permission of George W. Bush and his cronies.
I am guessing Fort Leavenworth was there before you took up residence. If you don't like living near a prison, you are free to move.
I saw Bush's welcome home speech.
Proud of the Texas community welcoming home Bush. If I did not like the area I lived in, I would have moved to Texas. Do not really like the seasons and climate in Texas, but sure love the people there. Just an incredible speech. He sure is family oriented. Wish him the best and cannot wait to read his book. He kept us safe. Did you hear China did not like Obama's speech yesterday?
My daught bought a home right off of
Jimmy Carter Blvd so you know about where she lives. Had a problem with crowing rooster 1 morning, said to be expected.
$13 will pay for gas for 1 car for 1 week for me (working at home). nm

Bringing our troops home would also.....
save our country a sh&tload of money.....
Clinton wanted every one to own a home
OH MY GOSH, BLAME IT ON BUSH.

Link plays a video by Pelosi.
By the way, the dumb witch lies about the Bush record and she goes on about deregulation, but in reality, President Bush did try to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but was stymied by a minority of Democrats in the Senate:
For many years the President and his Administration have not only warned of the systemic consequences of financial turmoil at a housing government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) but also put forward thoughtful plans to reduce the risk that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would encounter such difficulties. President Bush publicly called for GSE reform 17 times in 2008 alone before Congress acted. Unfortunately, these warnings went unheeded, as the President’s repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems.
SO MUCH MORE READING ABOUT THE TRUTH.
i would be the one losing my ACTUAL HOME
UNFORTUNATELY, I TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and i pay my mortgage, even if i was one of the ones that they should not have given a loan to. and i have an ARM, and an interest only loan, which i pay more to each month, etc. etc.... BUT if i was in default, maybe i'd get some help...
and you cannot deny that Clinton put this into action
and that McCain or Bush did not foresee it and ask for an overhaul.
no matter who is at fault WHO IS THE ONE THAT TRIED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT LONG BEFORE THIS MESS???
date night at home
often just order a pizza and rent a movie. That's time together!
lying in office
It was a personal matter between he and his wife and Monica. He only lied when the govt tried to pry into his private life. It had nothing to do with national security, and since he was impeached for lying, Im just waiting for Bush to get impeached or Rove to be fired for lying about giving out the name of Valerie Plame to reporters to out her. If there is gonna be a standard about lying while in office, it should work for this administration too. One saving grace on that, the prosecutor, Fitzgerald, seems like a tough guy who does not take sides but finds out the truth.
Hope this guy never wants to run for office..
you know what they do to people who return their medals...those commie pinkos !!!!
A Veteran’s Letter to the President:
“I Return Enclosed the Symbols of My Years of Service”
|
by Joseph DuRocher |
|
President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
As a young man I was honored to serve our nation as a commissioned officer and helicopter pilot in the
U. S. Navy. Before me in WWII, my father defended the country spending two years in the Pacific aboard the U.S.S. Hornet (CV-14). We were patriots sworn “to protect and defend”. Today I conclude that you have dishonored our service and the Constitution and principles of our oath. My dad was buried with full military honors so I cannot act for him. But for myself, I return enclosed the symbols of my years of service: the shoulder boards of my rank and my Naval Aviator’s wings.
Until your administration, I believed it was inconceivable that the United States would ever initiate an aggressive and preemptive war against a country that posed no threat to us. Until your administration, I thought it was impossible for our nation to take hundreds of persons into custody without provable charges of any kind, and to “disappear” them into holes like Gitmo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram. Until your administration, in my wildest legal fantasy I could not imagine a U.S. Attorney General seeking to justify torture or a President first stating his intent to veto an anti-torture law, and then adding a “signing statement” that he intends to ignore such law as he sees fit. I do not want these things done in my name.
As a citizen, a patriot, a parent and grandparent, a lawyer and law teacher I am left with such a feeling of loss and helplessness. I think of myself as a good American and I ask myself what can I do when I see the face of evil? Illegal and immoral war, torture and confinement for life without trial have never been part of our Constitutional tradition. But my vote has become meaningless because I live in a safe district drawn by your political party. My congressman is unresponsive to my concerns because his time is filled with lobbyists’ largess. Protests are limited to your “free speech zones”, out of sight of the parade. Even speaking openly is to risk being labeled un-American, pro-terrorist or anti-troops. And I am a disciplined pacifist, so any violent act is out of the question.
Nevertheless, to remain silent is to let you think I approve or support your actions. I do not. So, I am saddened to give up my wings and bars. They were hard won and my parents and wife were as proud as I was when I earned them over forty years ago. But I hate the torture and death you have caused more than I value their symbolism. Giving them up makes me cry for my beloved country.
Joseph W. DuRocher
Joseph DuRocher was for 20 years the elected Public Defender of Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit, covering Orange and Osceola counties. Since retirement, he’s been writing and teaching law at the University of Central Florida and the Barry University School of Law. He was a commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy in the 1960s, serving as a Naval Aviator in the Atlantic, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. On Monday, Mr. DuRocher returned his Lieutenant’s shoulder bars and Navy wings to President Bush, and enclosed the following letter. Mr. DuRocher can be reached at: PDJWD@aol.com.
