What's on your Thursday Menu?

Good Friday-eve gang. Very frustrated with the state of CT. Apparently, everything is subject to taxation even an antique tractor from the 30's that is only used as a lawn decoration with potted flowers. We got a letter from the town assessor stating that they were informed we had unregistered or out of state registered vehicles on the property. When I called to question the letter, I was told the blight officer reported to the assessor we have tractors, box truck bodies, bobcat, backhoe, and that none of our vehicles are registered in CT. That last part is a lie since all 4 of our vehicles have CT license plates and I get a motor vehicle tax bill every year.

The assessor said I have to send her a list of what we have. So even though the box truck bodies are used for storage and are on the ground they are to be taxed. The backhoe and bobcat that we have had for over 30 years are to be taxed. Literally every dam thing is to be taxed. I'm ready to move out of this Democratic run state and go to a Red state like West Virgina. Sorry for the rant I'm just stressed.

QOTD: If you could live in any US state which one would you pick? Me right now anyone that is not run by Democrats. I know people say Republicans are only out to help the rich, but when looking at the states that DO NOT have personal property taxes (which is 25 states) all but 6 of them are Republican run.

B: coffee

L: ham, cheese, pickle wraps

D: grilled chicken thighs

Have a great day everyone!!!

Awwww .

I had a similar situation ( but much smaller ) a few years ago when the Councilman and Town Deputy Supervisor who lives nearby ( who others have referred to as a Frenemy lol ) asked whether my non working farm truck I had parked beside the home was registered and told me it had to be.

So I regretfully sold her for scrap .. and since then have struggled w squatters and thieves repeatedly removing my lawn ornaments grrr. Betsy was a great deterrent!

More seeing apts today and doctor... calendar is overappointmented as always.

I dont know how people manage their business AND hold down an actual job ...

B- breakfast buffet- bites of egg whites w salsa, " breakfast potatoes" meaty part of bacon slices, cranberry juice ff sf coffee and tea lattes

I hate that my tiny pouch makes me such a ridiculously slow eater. I also hate eating in my car and taking food w me - threw out a BUNCH yesterday . Im ashamed because so many people dont have enough money to eat properly.

I need to start applying for apartments I dont WANT so I no longer fall between the cracks . Problem is I want the impossible - great air ( in NYC ! ) central location, a huge terrace, new fixtures and a waterview ...oh and free on street parking preferably and amenities like co working spaces, a rooftop garden gym and pool lol.

I guess Im the definition of impossible customer - and Im also not trying to pay a brokers fee ( last year I paid $18,000 to move into what turned to be a horrible apartment - no heat no central air and the leaking roof made my ceiling fall down ! )

L& D tbd

Last nite - bits of Reuben sandwich ( just the meat, saurkraut , roll w pulled pork ( not fatty if you buy the right kind and throw away all light colored fatty bits before heating ) I like to include fresh herbs and sliced scallion and a bit of hot sauce too.

fat free milk w booze ( helps me nap in the car - a necessary evil since if I sleep in LI I dont get to the city till mid afternoon . )

Honestly thanks to Naltrexone my booze and wine cravings are gone and thanks probably to the Buproprion so is my appetite.

Im not a skinny- minnie but noone can call me plump either. Lost Id estimate around 10 lbs from walking around the City and strenuous gardening lol .
