    And Florida has a way of offsetting the lack of state income tax with higher just about everything else... lol

    California doubles down. Taxes everything twice. 2 pieces being looked at. Taxing text messages and drinking water.

    Sex is being considered I’ve heard. Meters on your beds coming soon! ;)

    Hahaha don’t give them any ideas! BTW, have you heard the bending over they gave the Hybrid owners?

    Free HOV lane status is a thing of the past for many of them. It will be income based, and some older models will no longer be eligible.

    It seems that most cars that qualify for free status, cost so much they can only be bought by people who earn too much money to qualify ;)

    Time to start paying those tolls hipsters

    Paying tolls???:eek:

    Perish the thought. That’s what blow-up dolls in the passenger seat are for. :biggrin_25523:

    Did you work for a retail/residential HVAC company. I had one come to my house last Saturday (I know, I made a mistake in having one come out.) To fix my boiler circulating pump. Well they took 10 minutes to fix a $9.00 part and it cost me $344.00 because of a bunch of non line item trumped up charges. I need to go to boiler school so I can work on my boiler my self in the future although, my units pretty good and has been well maintained.

    Be like my mom. Make them leave the old part. We’ve repaired our own the last 2 times. It’s the same $20 sensor every #### time.
