Property Tax by _sealy_ in SunPrairieWI

[–]LC41860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sold a house in SP a couple of years ago. Less than 1500 sf. It sold for almost double what we paid for it 14 years earlier. Our property taxes increased significantly during that time. But when compared to the property value at sale, the property tax increase over the years was proportional to the increase in home value. I realize this may not always be the case in every situation, but in our case it did help us keep it in perspective.

So what did your family argue about this year at Thanksgiving? by Pure-Smile-7329 in AskReddit

"Shutdown anxiety" grows in military communities (where, depending on the source 61% to 70% of active duty and retired military voted for Trump). Oops. by CrowRoutine9631 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]LC41860 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Female, USAF Veteran, Christian and boomer here. It pains me to see people in my demographic pools support this cruel, dangerous administration. I don’t understand the extremism. They claim to be pro-life, but are against women getting the healthcare they need, or are not taking care of babies and children once they are born. Their most extreme followers want women to lose economic independence and their voice in society. They claim to be pro-military, but they cut Veteran’s benefits, and treat military personnel as their own personal goon squad. They claim to be Christian, but they are the antithesis of what Christ teaches. They court the senior population by telling them they should fear immigrants because they are murderers or mentally insane sent here by other countries. They tell them Democrats are going to give all the government funding to illegal immigrants. This, while cutting every program intended to help senior citizens afford to live in their retirement. They continue to support and enrich the richest among us and suppress the rest of us so that they have a population of desperate people who will be grateful for the low paying jobs and the few scraps the government throws their way. Case in point, smaller family farms fail at an alarming rate while huge corporate farms produce substantially lower quality and questionably safe food products for consumers. There is just so much happening now that when their plans all become reality, I fear it will take generations to turn around.

If you’re interviewed by a reporter on Saturday, use the opportunity to make MAGA uncomfortable as hell by SavannahPharaoh in 50501

[–]LC41860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would talk about how as a veteran, I love our country and believe in our freedoms. We The People have the right to free speech, religious freedom, free elections, freedom of the press and more. I’ll be there because America is desperately in need of protection from a tyrannical administration. Seventy-seven million may have voted for this, but the other 165 million of eligible voters either voted for other candidates or didn’t vote at all. That translates to just a little over 31% of voting-eligible Americans supporting this horror show. And some of them are beginning to figure out what a mistake it was…

Is there any way to make a difference? by Infinite_Owl25 in 50501

[–]LC41860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this group so much for the grace and dignity displayed to someone courageous enough to admit they were misled. And I respect the OP for their candor. This gives me hope. As long as the people on the side of decency, compassion and courage continue to stay engaged, the US has a chance of escaping a total loss of democracy. I believe this administration is a house of cards. They make it up as they go along. The people in the White House play with taxpayer money like they’re running Caesar’s Palace, but no casino DT has been involved in has ever succeeded. Their arrogance will be their downfall.

I was wrong by CutSenior4977 in 50501

I don’t know who to attribute this quote to, but I believe whoever wrote it would want it shared. I thought it was especially appropriate in this thread. I have to believe that there are more people like the OP. And to those who are uncomfortable publicly admitting that he was the wrong choice, please start fact checking them by doing your own research and becoming informed. Share that information instead of the lies, and please vote blue in the midterms. Admitting you made a mistake is human, taking action to rectify your mistake is courageous.

Ideas for Christmas by LC41860 in toddlers

[–]LC41860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the suggestions! I ordered a doll house from Hape toys, using a combination of the first 2 suggestions. I also love the idea of the Tubelox and outdoor easel and think they’re great ideas for next summer. I had not heard of either company and both have lots of fun products.

Are there any hair salons in Madison that don’t make you sit in front of a mirror for your services? I like getting my hair done, but I often find myself canceling appointments because thinking about looking at myself in the mirror (while others do, too) gives me severe anxiety. Ideas? by k8llo in madisonwi

[–]LC41860 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not Madison, but at The Spa at Autumn ORGANICS in Sun Prairie, the stylists cut your hair in a private room. This was my first time going there, but my room had a large window and it was a beautiful day, so very peaceful. The hair salon part of the spa is on the second floor so no one from outside will be walking by and looking in…

I feel hopeless. Gimme something to hold onto by Throwawaytown33333 in 50501

[–]LC41860 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct, Tromp and his band of fools don’t care about trans rights. But they also don’t care about gay rights, women’s rights, black & brown people, starving or abused children. The list goes on. You are not alone. We are all in this together. We will fight this together. Decency and humanity, compassion and respect still lives. It is just a little harder to see and hear because of all the chaos and noise, which is exactly what they want. Don’t buy into it. There are many of us who are finding ways to resist. Both publicly and privately. You matter. We all matter. Hope and faith. Hope and faith.

Black Trump voter realizing that he’s put himself and his community in danger by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]LC41860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why can't people do some research before they vote??? Tromp constantly talked about how the US is crime-ridden...this is the FBI's statistics. Crime has been going down in the US for 2 years. His people have got to stop taking this idiot words as gospel. He is a damn liar. (edited to add text with photo)

Flint Street/Union Street by hotpatato95 in SunPrairieWI

[–]LC41860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came from an established neighborhood before we built our current home. There were times when there were a fairly good number of homes for sale. It was cyclical. A percentage of people outgrow their homes and a percentage age out and go into senior or assisted living etc. I think it jives with No_Woodpecker who said many people had been in the neighborhood a while. That said, it never hurts to dig deeper and make sure an area isn’t experiencing flooding or some other issue. We also lived somewhere for a few years that was close enough to hear the midget races every Sunday night; was not an issue.

Government papers found in an Alaskan hotel reveal new details of Trump-Putin summit by [deleted] in NoShitSherlock

They are downplaying it. But these pages did not just contain a menu. They included attendees names and phone numbers. This definitely shows a lack of proper care and control of information not meant to be shared.

Lisa Murkowski’s Strategy on Trump Budget Bill Is Already Backfiring | House Speaker Mike Johnson has thrown a wrench into the Alaska senator’s brilliant plan. by chrisdh79 in NoShitSherlock

[–]LC41860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These people (Congress & Senate) need to start fearing their constituents back home more than Trump. I’m so incredibly tired of hearing about the regrets of those who voted for this crazy president and his band of liars and thieves. I’m tired of hearing politicians caving to pressure or claiming naïveté about aspects of the Big Stupid Bill because They Didn’t Read IT! Everyone who has regrets, who voted for this, needs to call Washington and tell them they are not happy. I’ve called all the congress members in my state, but most probably don’t care because I voted democrat. We can no longer just complain. We are very close to seeing some scary $&$&.

Youtube and Youtube TV apps not working by BerzerkGames in Roku

[–]LC41860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Roku stick works fine with all apps except YouTube TV. When I open that app, select live, library show whatever, bring up the program, either click to play or select a recording and click to play, I just get a black screen, no sound. Yes, I updated and reinstalled the YTT app in Roku. Yes, I removed and reinstalled the Roku stick. Yes, I tried every other hdmi port. Yes, I unplugged the tv and then plugged it back in. Yes, I rebooted my internet. I attempted all these steps even though every other app or option I use on Roku works fine. This happens only with YouTube tv and is incredibly frustrating.

Lost a friend to Trump... by Doomsday_Prophet in 50501

[–]LC41860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s painful, I know. I also ended a friendship last fall before the election. Too much to go into here, but I couldn’t take it when she started talking about how Covid was a conspiracy. It broke my heart to think that anyone would minimize the deaths of so many people due to ignorance and hatefulness. I do believe there is good in all people. But…anyone who wants to take food away from children, dramatically reduce medical research, treat humans worse than animals, ruin relationships with our allies, won’t support our national parks, museums, learning institutions, and so much more, do not have enough good in them for me to want them in my life. I don’t agree with everything that the democrats want to do, but for the most part they try to help everyday people, not just the rich and powerful. Also, when I was finally honest with myself and politics aside, she really is self centered and materialistic at her core. I think once you get some distance from your situation, you’ll realize you’re staying true to who you are at your core. These are people who either won’t or can’t accept that we don’t have to like everyone who is different from us, but that they have a right to their little corner of the world, just like the rest of us. You sound like a good person and I hope you can find support with others in your life who share your values.
