Can Someone PLEASE Photoshop my Little Blue House into New Color?
Comments (111)Hey Squirrel! Oops, what I actually meant was the garage door that you posted on Oct 4th at 19:48, just white. (see above post). The one w/windows. Just switch the garage door on those bottom 2 you just posted to the other (and in white) and that will be the 2 I'm hoping for :) Boy, you are fast!...See MorePaying sales tax on internet purchases
Comments (32)((((HUGS)))) Unfortunately, even on "nice" boards, there are times when claws, or just schadenfreude, come out. :( It's very sad, and I'm so sorry you've felt people being mean to you. I know it doesn't help at all to think "it's about them" when you were looking for a "safe" (or as safe as a public forum can be) place to discuss a delicate subject. ((((HUGS)))) States complain about lost revenue from sales taxes not being recouped, but they don't complain about the amount of commerce in general, even if it's the gas spent by the delivery trucks. When they start discussing this on the Federal level (interstate commerce), and start thinking about levying tax on internet purchase (other than the instate tax that people are used to paying), there's such an uproar, and the constituencies, both sellers and buyers, are so upset, that they drop it. The world is changing, and it's taking some time for people and modalities to catch up. Sometimes it's easier to buy a roll of masking tape online than have to hike around a big box store looking for it. People don't do that to avoid the tax! Still, sales tax is regressive. People with the least money spend the largest portion of their incomes on sales tax. They order out of state, take trips into bordering states that have no sales tax, into bordering countries where they have no tax or give it back, etc., etc. Sales tax is onerous. It's always been the law in most places that collect sales tax that you have to pay it on things brought in from out of state. In my state, it has mostly been enforced on really big items like cars. Unfortunately, a new kitchen is pretty much the equivalent of a car. But if it's in the news about your state collecting on Income Tax filings, and you've received a phone call immediately after, I agree it's probably a scam. And I agree that you would most likely have received a form letter rather than a phone call. In fact, the normal way it should happen is that first you'd receive a form letter from your state's revenue agency telling you that you were obliged to report, and then if you didn't report and they had reason to think you should have, they'd send a reminder of the things you should have reported and an option to pay the back taxes plus interest. Then you'd receive a form letter telling you about a hearing scheduled. And on like that. If your friend received a call, it should have been a recording. Live person calls are too expensive for chasing a pittance (and the amount of tax owed, even if your friend's new kitchen is even nicer than yours, is a pittance to the state coffers). You could check with the department of frauds to see if this is a known scam, and a lawyer to see if it's possibly real....See MoreSomebody tried to steal Conway
Comments (21)Wow, that was scary for Conway and you. Thank goodness Daddy was on the alert. No more tie ups on the newsstand I guess. Any dognapping would be sad, but I love pugs so much. I haven't my 2 little ones in the morning recently, which is just as well because I just about drive off the road when I do. :-)...See MoreSomeone stole my Tropicana bloom.
Comments (11)Hey everyone! Been a while since I visited this forum. How is everyone? People tend to steal my roses at my front yard especially my Austins : Golden Celebration and L.D. Braitwaite. It is always the blooms on the top of the rose which is definitely higher for any animals we have here and it is ripped off which is how I know someone did it. This is the main reason I decided to grow most of my roses at the back which is unfortunate because no one else except my family can enjoy it. When I bought Don Juan last year, I took the advice from a poster at helpmefind website not to plant this rose at the front because of theft....See MoreUser
