I went to Catholic school with mean nuns, rulers, and phonics sheets.

My much younger siblings when to a hippie private school that emphasized whole language. They both have Masters but still struggle with spelling;

I moved to Detroit 2 years ago and was very confused that I get a break on my property taxes for being a full time resident rather than an out-of-town landlord. That discount comes from the school budget. This seems ass-backward to me.

(I don’t have offspring so the school system was not a factor in relocating.)

Likewise!  I certainly get more enjoyment out of this than I do Netflix and Hulu combined.

It’s not Tuesday without a FunBag!

Ooh!  I’ve been putting off a surgery that is going to keep me from being able to walk (or drive) for 6-12 weeks.  I like this news.

I thought about that. It’s a tiny house in Hamtramck and the taxes are $250/year. I could swing that, even if they hit me up for 3 years of it. If I get to also claim the house.

(It’s definitely not an issue of a shared name or typo.  The only person I’ve been able to find with my name lives in South Africa.  I get her…

What is the opposite of deed theft?

After buying a house in Detroit, I went online to pay my first property tax bill and there was a house in my name that I had toured but had not made an offer on.  I’ve been telling my West Coast friends they can stay for free if only they’ll move the squatters out.

He may pop by once in a while but this is no longer his regular gig.

The official tagline of The Takeout is “Food is Delicious,” and this website is written and run entirely by women

Does it even matter if you’re over the height limit?  *sigh*

Also part of the original Blues Brothers (but not in the movie due to other commitments).

I love love love Glimpses of the Moon.

Mine too. My grandfather had his first heart attack at 42. I was very happy to turn 43.

My mom was all wound up when her father had to have a bypass and my response was “eh, it’s only double.”

Everybody has to die of something.  I’d rather a heart attack from cheese than cancer from cheese because it’s faster.

This is the response I was looking for.  Pie should always be room temperature.

I have been meaning to try Taco Bell breakfast for many years.  I just can’t get up that early.  What’s the best/cheesiest thing?

I had my first Culver’s experience last week and I got the pretzel bun. It was GREAT.

A purchase, no less!

Yes!  I’m not putting on a bra and not-jammies on the off chance it’s faster to go in.  I’ll sit in that line for 20 minutes and play games on my phone.

JFC - I left Portland when the rent for a 1 bedroom hit 4 digits.  My allows people to work remotely so now I have a 3 bedroom house allll to myself for $835/month.  And I can have an unlimited number of cats.
