Isn't taz157 in FL, or did she move out? I believe she moved years ago. I remember something about her no longer being able to take her (then only) DD to Disneyworld regularly

Regardless- him evading servers doesn’t mean that AZ has to admit they can’t count votes. He was not the sole person charged. yeah, that too. Just because someone was found not guilty on a murder case doesn't mean the victim isn't dead. Or that the accused didn't kill him! It just means that the jury was not 100% convinced.

Does the nitwit even know that Columbia is just as much a part of Mexico as Canada is part of the US?

They'll be denying it even as they're bursting into flames. If that's not bad enough, they're harassing and threatening climatologists, journalists and weatherpersons on the local news. Who the fuck DOES that? How ignorant do you have to be? I'd like to see DeSantis burst into flames. I agree with you that he is a horrible excuse for a human being. But don't forget that he is in his position for one reason, and one reason only: the Floridians have voted him into that position. So even with the DeSantis gone I seriously doubt Florida would ever be a place for me to move to.

I'd like to see DeSantis burst into flames. There are a lot of politicians I’d like to see burst into flames. DeSantis is only one of many. If one does not live in FL, there is not a damn thing one can do about it. At this point, I don’t think that anyone currently contributing to this board even lives there. Yes there is at least one: NancysSummerSip

It's not just the storm damages that screw up Florida insurance rates. GF had to replace her roof even though it was perfectly fine. Insurance companies require it. She was actually hoping that it would be damaged by a storm so that insurance would pay for it rather than paying out of her pocket. Cost her well over $20,000 even after getting more than a dozen bids. Florida has 9% of the country's insurance claims, but 79% of insurance lawsuits. MANY of those are fraudulent. Worse, state law required the insurance companies to pay the legal costs of those defrauding them. It is a complete mess down there. The criminal fraud lobby in FL must be pretty good if the insurance companies have to pay the fees of those defrauding them. You'd think the insurance lobby could pull their head out of their ass to fix this issue. Isn't their go to approach to just abandon the state?

You all think that is bad? If I still have any assets in the US when I die, after I move to Germany, the IRS will take at least 40% of that. Of every fricking dollar!!! I don't know what CA will do but my newest urgent task is to find a tax attorney who specializes in US/German tax law. This "fun" little provision only applies to green card holders who leave the US.
Oh and if you officially give up your Green Card when you leave the IRS will take that 40% of all your assets right away.

Sounds like he's realizing that princess is really not so much of a princess. Good. With the level of crazy & disrespect that they exhibited last night, it's time for Mister to take away their house keys AND their credit cards until they learn respect. And, while he is at it, stop paying child support as that is still going on now, years after it was supposed to stop. Continue to pay for college - sure. But with a graduation requirement within 4 or 5 years ((sometimes you can't get into the needed classes to graduate hence the 5years)

Does she still expect her dad to pay? Or she’d rather pay herself than ask you? Mister did not pay for it. He did not know she had made the order until it was delivered. Well, she has one of his cc’s, so he might have paid for it, but still not the way he intended to.Time for confiscation of that CC accompanied by a very strong suggestion that she better find a job for summer break if she wants to have any spending money at all. If mister finds this too harsh he can offer matching funds (at whatever ratio) to money earned. And she better remember that anything times zero still is zero... A reality check is way past overdue

What the HELL? It's bad enough that Florida has Don't Say Gay legislation, but now they have Don't Say Climate Change legislation. I guess if you ignore it, it will go away. Forget the out-of-control wildfires, forget the monkeys dropping dead from the heat and falling out of trees, forget the highest temps ever and the coral bleaching. If you don't talk about it, it won't exist. Oh, and don't forget to threaten, abuse and harass anyone who DOES talk about it. What a bunch of IDIOTS! Ignorance on full display to the world. www.cnn.com/2024/05/21/climate/tv-meteorologist-florida-climate-law/index.htmlWell, I guess nobody here cares. Woohoo! Different time zones - you are jumping to conclusions. Some of us are getting ready to eat/cook dinner and others are relaxing at night. There is only 22 minutes between your posts. You have to give us a bit of time to react.... As ro your question above? Their choice of their government representatives says it all.

Hey everyone. I got an email yesterday from Athena53, with a life update she asked me to share. Thank you for sharing. I have thought regularly about her. While we are very different people in some ways (importance of religion in life, financially, etc) and quite similar in others (stage of life, love of travel, etc.) I have almost always enjoyed her posts - for the record I don't even always enjoy my own posts so that "almost" qualifier means very little. Athena has a different perspective on things and her inputs from that POV is often very good. I wish her the very best and hope that one day she is willing to come back to posting

We have had two storms with heavy rain roll through this afternoon. Sump pump is running. At least it helps the grass grow. I am scared out of my mind about the appointment tomorrow with the plastic surgeon. I wish it was earlier in the day, but I can't change it.

Absolutely YAYYYY Pink Cashmere. The only reason you are seeing these gains is because you saved the money in your TSP to grow in the first place! Well done.

Does one of these type cool better than an old school box fan? Needing to replace mine. I wouldn't know. I have a Woozoo fan from Costco ($37 regular price). It is small but it too has a remote control, is quiet, swivels in all directions (left/right, up/down), and is very powerful. They now have a larger one similar to the Honeywell one but that version is ~$200

I cannot even express how often Target & our local grocery store both screw up on sale prices in their ads. Then, I have to go to customer service to fix their mistakes (or overpay). Drives me nuts! Sorry. Reminds me of a couple issues from grocery delivery I still need to address. I ordered a seedless cucumber because they were on sale. Instead, I got a seeded cucumber, which is bad for me because far too much of it will go to waste and I have no easy way to core out those seeds. Have a feeling I paid more for it as well. I do not like going to customer service at Target or Walmart. Cut off the length you want to use. Slice length-wise. Use spoon to scoop out the seeds. Works very well.

I hate digital coupons! I never can get them to work properly. So today I made a bit of *ss of myself* because of that. I am not much of a cheddar cheese eater but will occasionally buy a very specific brand only. Today that cheese was on - digital - sale and was 40% off, so I wanted some. The damn code would not scan. It kept saying "no deal found". I walked off and came back at least twice and by then I was so aggravated that I just had to have that cheese at the sales price. So I took a photo and showed it at the cash register and they started with the deal may be expired spiel. Nope, see ends by date on the sticker (5/28). You did it wrong. Nope see other clipped deal. Then it was I don't know. So I threw in California consumer law - you have to sell for advertised price. True statement. However, this law was from before the scan period so it does not really address the scanning requirement only regular loyalty cards. In the end they just entered the savings manually - I did have to (?) correct them there as well since they reduced the amount by 60% rather than the 40%. I would have felt as bad about not saying anything as I would have walking out without the cheese or paying full price. Fair is fair after all I had DD1 try to scan a qr code for me to get a digital coupon. I was good with it, until I had to set up an additional account (with email, etc). I noped right out of that. My email for that account is one of those that I completely empty out on the regular without even looking at what is in it.. busymom they did try to get me to customer service but I saw no one at that desk so I played the "old white haired biddy who didn't understand" and just stayed where I was. The world discounts older people at every turn. Well two can play that game

* no harsh words or shouting was involved. Everyone stayed polite and I even warned the person behind me that this could take a while so she went to another line.

I do. There is the option to get a printed receipt at the pump and I want one, not so much for the amount spend (we are still at or around $5/gallon) but for the date. I try to keep track of how often I need to get gas - turns out that is about every other month. Unless I have visitors and we take a road trip of course.

I just did something totally out of character for me: I listened to a one hour podcast on, of all things, taxation. My usual go to approach is file your taxes early in the year (done for TY 2023) and then forget about it until next year. However, as I have mentioned before I plan to move to Europe sometime in the next 2 - 3 years and that complicates the situation somewhat or so I thought. I recently discovered that the already complex tax system in the US is the most complex and, dare I say it, punitive for long term legal residents leaving the country. So now I need to go on the hunt for an international tax lawyer who knows both the US and German tax laws inside and out. Well at least I found out with a little time to spare but it may not be enough...

finnime did your print arrive in time yesterday? And how did your presentation go? I apologize if you already posted about this but I could not find it and I so love the photos you share with us (and that is in addition to me being nosy). Just ignore this post if you are not comfortable sharing.

Boebert showed up at Trump’s trial to show her support (I guess because none of his family is showing up to support him). She apparently didn’t show up at her son’s court date seven years days before, where her kid got scolded for not having a lawyer yet. He claimed he didn’t have the money to hire one and had only just filled out the paperwork for a public defender. I guess she has her priorities straight. 🤨 Shorter time span She and Trump are in a race to the bottom for the biggest embarrassment to this country. What about MTG? Isn't she in the race as well?

The school is spearheading the process. Without a police report he won't be issued a new check. I'm with you and really hope he goes ahead and files charges. if he's not even living at home, there should also be a felony charge to Mom for tampering with his mail.
*wait, let me clarify. it doesn't matter whether he's there or not, but it's a lot easier to say she opened his mail if he's not there. vs her watching him open his own mail and taking the check out of his hands. that's what I'm trying (and I think failing) to say. Pure curiosity but would this also be true if he lived at home and still is a minor? DS1 was still a minor at this time in his senior year. Actually, the question remains even if he is not living at home but devil mom still has legal custody? Could she possibly hide behind that as a valid defense for stealing from her own kid?

I’m betting Trump gets cold feet and comes up with a reason to back out. It’s like him promising he would testify at the Stormy trial. Now he’s saying he can’t testify without violating the gag order. Yeah, or he knows he’ll get killed if he testifies. Wow, that is a surprise...not. We are all still waiting for those tax returns. My thought on those now has changed a little bit. I think he was afraid that some "deep state" accountant would have caught onto the double dipping on tax loss deductions. LOL

Well that (temporarily) missing SS card has started something. I had basically decided that I was done decluttering until the fall. But after finding all those papers that needed shredding I have tackled a few more places and I have been ruthless and I am throwing piles of stuff out. And there have been a few side benefits to all this. One was related to the reason I needed my SS card - it was because of my name change (back to my names on my birth certificate) which I had not addressed in all places. That has been taken care of now but during the process I had to provide both previous and current signatures. Well, I had found a cc payment slip from 1997!!! and that of course had my old signature - good thing that slip had somehow been hiding out as I did not remember what the signature was supposed to look like LOL.
Today another foot of folders/outdated user guides/etc., has found a new home in the recycle bin. Slowly but surely...

You mean they will actually cut of the mike once the orange paint addict has reached his allotted time? I may just watch one of those partially just to see that! Under normal circumstances I avoid watching these things like the plague- as a non-citizen, and despite speaker Johnson's intuition who just knows differently, I do not vote. I did watch a short piece of a HRC debate with the old fattie but had to switch channels because of fattie's stalking her. That turned my stomach - and this was well before I was forced to accept that so many voters thought he would be their preferred leader.

My dad would kick my ass if I behaved like that towards L. Like actual a 40 year old woman getting my ass beat by my dad like I am a toddler because if I am going to behave like one he'll treat me like one. Same. My uncle has a new GF that I don't like. I am still polite, I just don't fo out of my way to talk to her. If I behaved the way Mister’s kids did, both parents would kick my ass in front of God and everybody. I did not like my dad's GF who was a conceited snot who was overly concerned with status. She was very "nice" to us since xH was upper management but barely tolerated the teachers and social workers. She could not be bothered with my very talented siblings who were not in white collar professions. So to say that I despised her is putting it politely - still I was never less than polite to her. My father chose her after all - I will never understand why he did not see her for what she was. Maybe loneliness after losing mom after a 43 42* year marriage? I don't know and it didn't matter. * they didn't quite make it to 43 years. Mom was only 60yo when she passed and while she was a teen bride , she was 18 not 17 when they married

"Admired global power". What country admires Trump? Russia?
Nope, being a patsy is not the same as being admired. We used to talk about sending the orange paint addict big word books because his actual understanding of words was very limited. Now I do believe that a salary of ~$180k is sufficient for these nitwits to buy their own big word books. We should make that mandatory
