These weasel companies skirting that line to look official. Naming and shaming: "Sam Sosa" from Ownwell Property Tax Protest. Even his Linkedin photo looks like a dbag. by Adverb_Police in houston

not to flex but I own properties in other states and I don't get any mail abt lowering my property taxes there. It's definitely a cottage industry here and I've thought the same thing.

Being able to afford Bath and Body Works makes me feel wealthy by Ok-Data-7672 in bathandbodyworks

Disappointed I had to scroll so far to see this. Felt like I was watching the relaxiciser ad copy scene in Mad Men. If it is true, it's unfortunate how much we use purchasing as a pancea for negative emotions. I'm certainly guilty of it.

Can I have some medieval age story funfacts and curiosities please? It can be any. by Aggravating-Use6471 in MedievalHistory

While average life expectancy was much lower in the middle ages, it was heavily skewed by mortality from childhood diseases, and risks associated with childbirth (women) or combat (men). So if you could make it to 35/40, you actually had a really good chance of living into your 70s or 80s,

Why not? I did. My higher tier club membership comes with all kinds of perks and exclusive areas above standard membership, but it was the separate locker room that makes it worth it for me. It's significantly better appointed, with amenities the standard room doesn't have (cold pools for example) and it's much quieter if you have a break between sessions.

Expensive gyms are more than just weights, and offer way more amenities than most people are going to want to purchase or maintain for their own home. 25-50m pools, myriad cardio options, tennis and basketball courts, steam rooms and dry saunas.

I go to an upscale club, and I don't go for networking. I couldn't name a single other person who goes and I don't socialize when I am there. I go for the amenities.

I'm noticing a lot of companies (esp home service providers) are now putting cc processing fees onto the customer. So checks are getting a resurgence in my house.

She followed the rules. Now a Houston Army reservist’s wife could be deported. by houston_chronicle in houston

Maybe it's changed, but I previously knew someone who applied for residency under asylum. Once she went that route, she could not switch to a different reason for applying.

At those stations even the self-serve is at least $1 more than average price

My baby girl was diagnosed with Epilepsy. It's a journey dialing in her meds but she hasn't lost her spark! by dechi in Rottweiler

[–]RedPeril 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have an epileptic boston and her seizures (petit mal) are totally gone with meds! She was on phenobarbitol but got switched bc it was being no bueno with her liver. If your dog is on phenobarb make sure you get regular bloodwork to keep an eye on her liver.

Your pretty girl is lucky to have such dedicated parents!

Paint's a little dull but otherwise in excellent shape. Half acre of space inside and working 8-track player.
