I had a state income tax in NY. It wasn't really that much compared to my property taxes. I think it was around $1500 a year. My last house there was 1400 sq ft on a 40'x100' lot. in 2004 my property taxes were $5600. Not much of a bargain considering how poorly kept the roads were. Potholes as big as your tires.

if you're into making these yourself this guy has a great recipe. I made these about two months ago and they're fantastic. My wife and daughter loved them too. They're pretty easy but take about three hours to cook.

If I had been able to see ahead when I lived on Long Island I would have strapped myself and went for a $250K house when I bought my last. Houses that were selling for $250 in '99 when I bought my last house were selling for $750 in '04. The thing about buying in a sellers market is that you have to be willing to stay in that house for at least ten years to recoup your money. All of these bubbles are typically on a ten year cycle give or take.

I don't know about Burnett, but Liberty Hill is getting ridiculous as far as house pricing. A couple of years ago we had discussed selling and downsizing, but after we sell what do we buy? I looked into Liberty Hill and everything I looked at put me back into a fairly large mortgage payment for a smaller house. The problem with the current market is that you can make a bunch on your current house but can't replace it for what you make from it.

Welcome to Long Island, circa 2004. I bought my last house on Long Island for $125k in 1999 sold it in 2004 for $300k. After 9/11 nobody wanted to live in the city so they started buying houses in the suburbs. Drove housing prices through the roof. I suspect that some of that is happening here due to the pandemic. Good luck just be mindful that you're trying to buy in a sellers market. Meaning the house you buy my devalue once all the dust settles.

if you can squeeze another $600-700 into your budget this would be a good option. https://www.theproscloset.com/products/kona-big-honzo-st-mountain-bike-2019-x-large

So weird it's almost delirious...

Nice pink fork!🤣

Loose clothing is a better choice to help prevent snake bites. If a snake strikes at loose clothing like your jeans pant leg the fangs most times will get hung up in the fabric. With tight clothing it's much easier for a snake bite to penetrate.

Uhhhh....Yeah duh!

Depends on what you consider a normal beer.

We are coming up on Irish appropriation month🤣

Fuck him! and anyone associated with him!

More nonsense here. Nothing like politicizing everything. https://denver.cbslocal.com/2021/02/17/lauren-boebert-green-new-deal-culprit-texas-power-crisis/

We had no power most of Monday along with no water. The power has been intermittent. I thought I had a frozen line also. I thawed the pipes coming into the garage enough to get the hose bib working. Did the 5 gal bucket brigade and filled my bathtub with about fifty gallons to wash dishes and flush toilets and filled 8 gallon jugs for drinking. I thought I had a frozen pipe but when my water came back on it was full flow I was thinking it would start as a trickle until the line cleared of any ice kinda strange but at least I have water again.

Rolling electric right now 45 min on 15-20 min off. At least I have my water back.

^^Absolutely! My son works as a food server he's the only one in the family who hasn't tested positive. We're all thinking he's probably had it.

She works in a rehabilitation hospital. She wears a mask all the time while at work. She entered a patients room that had not been diagnosed with Covid until after her encounter with that patient. When a patient is admitted with Covid they are isolated and nobody but the nurses can enter the room. Unfortunately this patient wasn't diagnosed until after admission.The hospital protocol for the workers is that they have their temperature taken twice a day. Unreliable at best, neither my wife or I had a fever at any time while we had it. On a side note my two daughters had it with no symptoms. My oldest daughter found out after a friend was in contact with someone who had Covid so they both went to get tested, the friend was negative and my daughter was positive. I will also say this and please don't take this as a statement to diminish the virus it's not fun, but the symptoms I had were more like a mild flu. I've had worse cases of the flu than this was. I had chills and body aches especially anywhere that I have arthritis it would just throb. Acetaminophen worked well for relieving the aches. Had a couple of nights with severe night sweats, but the worst was vertigo. The vertigo would start about a half an hour after waking up and last until mid afternoon. The anxiety of not knowing if it would get worse was probably also one of the worst things mentally to deal with. It took me fifteen days to be fully ok but another week to feel like I did before getting it so total three weeks. I consider myself very fortunate that it wasn't that bad due to the fact that I have some underlying conditions that could have made this much worse asthma being one of them. Stay safe and do what you can to avoid getting it. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any set in stone symptoms or outcomes if you get it.

My wife and I both had it, thanks to her job. We both had mild cases mine was a bit worse than hers. It was a full two weeks to feel ok but it was three weeks for full recovery for us. We didn't have any lung issues no cough or fever. Worst of it for me was vertigo. so for us three weeks was back to normal.

Twelve point socket😉

I'm sure he had other issues the LSD only accelerated what would have been anyway.

Mopar certified technician right there. Can tell by the Mopar M on his shirt😂

That statement translates into "I like my teeth"🤣

Word of caution on the HVAC. If you lose power flip the breaker off until the power is back on. The surge when the power comes back can mess up your HVAC.

I have Pedernales was without power for 12 hours. Just came back on an hour ago. Also without water.
