I was wrong. Brad was rummaging through the fridge last night and said, "What's in this container?" Leftover mashed potatoes. We had potato pancakes for breakfast. NOW Thanksgiving is officially over. 
Property taxes. You guys are going to mess with my digestion here.
I guess we don't have it as bad as most of you do. Around here, the land that the house sits on is as valuable, if not more, than the house itself. This house is almost 3000 sq ft, but almost half of that is an unfinished basement. We're on an acre of land. Our property taxes are about $1000 per year. The house next door, where Carol lives, is a small farm house on 4 acres. Property tax on that is about $1100. The office & shop sit on another 4 acres. Property tax on that is about $1100.
There is a small piece of land that connects to our property that we keep hoping will come up for sale. If we could get that, we would have over 10 acres of continuous real estate. Brad & I joke that we have our 401(k) and investments and all that, but we are living on our emergency retirement fund.

, used to be you paid taxes on 1/4 of actual worth. They hired a company from the great state of Ohio who managed to mess things up royally. Originally had us down for extra rooms, levels of our house, etc.

; bought their house (out bid us
, we wanted to tear it down) for more yard. They gutted the entire house, it now has spiral staircases, etc...she told me they put 300 K into it. Then they applied for a zoning variance to rebuild the garage (onlything left of it was a cement footer). Snuck in a 2 story commercial affair with a full basement
I had to file a suit with the boro because he was violating the property line setback; my fence collapsed. He's a contractor when the mrs. insists he gets off his dead a (again daddy warbucks set him up). Our quiet residential neighborhood soon woke to the sounds of the beeping delivery trucks backing down the alley to his taj mahal garage; apparently, he had plans to be a regional distributor for parts. I didn't have to do a thing that time, the retirees in the neighborhood were up in arms...ala frankenstein
don't mess with senior's beauty sleep- ha.
cannot bring myself to pay over $300 for cookwear. Really only need a gigantic skillet & stock pot, my sauce pans are still fine.
i picked up Brain Age? for DH, supposed to keep the noggin sharp
I'm tired of being the only one who checks the water level, cleans up the darn needles off the rug and takes it down by myself. But, I really love the smell of a real tree, and it looks so, well,...real! 
I decide to wait it out a bit and called the vet because by about 8am it was getting worse 
Took her to the vet and they said it was more than likely a spider bite. Gave her benadryl shot and a steroid shot. They are keeping her a few hours for observation
