When you live "up north," it is hard to imagine some cold or a couple inches of snow shutting a place down.
Preparation is key and unfortunately, one can only prepare one's own household.
Now, I have lived in Wisconsin and I understand that 1 degree isn't unusually cold but hey, it helps if you're PREPARED!!!
Been out of internet for 3 days though we are one of the lucky ones not out of electricity.
Still our preparedness was tested. I give us a B+ since no warm-blooded...
AMEN
I have no fear of death. I know He is coming back one day but I don't profess to know when. I am pretty focused on living in the here and now though I know whose I am and where is my true home. I am sad to see this Great Experiment potentially come to its end. Feels premature to me.
Hubby is very smart and always reminding me of deep time. Like deep time, big money is hard to fathom. Even when we actually think about billions and trillions, we really cannot wrap our brain around it. Very good object lesson.
I told my buyer to be sure to apply for homestead exemption as soon as the sale is completed.
I lived in Wisconsin for six years so I am aware of the taxes being much higher with the need for snow removal equipment and all. I think taxes were about a third of our mortgage payment there.
Telegram may have changed. When I used it, I was on a group where anyone could contribute. I "think" it can be used in different ways.
Totally agree about Gab. My concern is that "groups" are not near the top of the priority list re a post reposted yesterday.
Agree about Mewe - that would be a...
Currently selling a small (cheap) rental property to the guy who has been renting it in Florida. He could not believe the closing costs. I was not surprised because A) I've bought and sold property in more than one state and B) know that not having state income tax is offset by higher something...
Hey Rammy - it may only be rumors but I have heard from more than one source that it is just a matter of time on MeWe for the censorship. I wish it were not so (and maybe it isn't) because their interface is pretty good. And if I can't find another suitable place, it could still be a place to start.
Hey, I don't know about anyone else but I am looking for places to land. I am currently suspended on Twit, restricted on FB and not looking to cause trouble here. So new or old here, it is more about interest IMHO.
Okay, forget Gab. Their groups feature is still not working well and I don't want to lead y'all through a desert of tetchy tech. But the rumblings are that MeWe will soon be acting like FB in taking down unruly groups. I am looking at an app I used several years ago called Telegram which is...
The problem is evil is totally against freedom, therefore it becomes political.
I am slightly techy at least in the setting up a group thing.
I truly think we would be better off at Gab from what I know.
I will look into it as I haven't set up a group there yet.
For moderators: please give us...
Oh my goodness! Once I finally found the right info, registering for a Sales Tax exemption in Texas was super easy. Especially since I already had a tax account for other businesses on the comptroller website. The hardest part was selecting the activity since I am raising meat rabbits to sell...
When I lived in the Charlotte NC area and was still homeschooling, I knew many folk in the Grow Local movement (I think that was what they called it then). I didn't so much disagree with their aims or with the base of what they were about as they didn't seem to realize that not everyone in...
Unfortunately crypto is no longer a way to avoid T as they ask about it directly. I played the crypto market in 2017 for about 8 months and made enough to buy the acre next to us. Not from trading skills but from simply good timing for once in my life. Crypto markets are highly manipulated by...
Yeah, I was trying for optimism with my gas price prediction as in Hoping it is ONLY $4/gallon this summer. I'm laughing only because the alternative is not pretty.
I wouldn't want to "ruin" this forum with politics. I have been kicked off summarily from a knitting site that I didn't even know had a political section. It still smarts.
