can someone explain how the whole homestead act thing works for first time home buyers? supposedly i apply and it lowers my payments/taxes? -- nm - colin Aug 26, 13:06 15
- Searching some stuff on-line, it sounds (nothing definitive yet, but sounds) like you can get the homestead on the portion you reside in - ty97 Aug 26, 13:38
- This stuff varies by state. The 'homestead exemption' is what TX calls there - ty97 Aug 26, 13:11 1
  - H.E. in Indiana, as well. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 13:37
- you mean like a homeowners exemption? - groiny Aug 26, 13:08 11
  - ugh. stupid rental property. yes, that's what i was talking about. - colin Aug 26, 13:11 10
    - I don't think rental properties are eligible? -- (link) - ty97 Aug 26, 13:12 9
      - But he is residing there, as well. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 13:20 8
        
        it'll be weird. there are two addresses, one property. we'll be living on the property.. - colin Aug 26, 13:23 7
        
        At one point here I owned and lived in a duplex and *think* I got the deduction. - Spawn Aug 26, 13:26
        
        Can't you just do something like - have just one mailbox, not on either house, free standing, and label it both addresses? - Andie Aug 26, 13:25
        
        oh man, that's gonna get confusing. I'd contact the Harris county tax/appraiser's office for guidance. -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 13:25 4
        
        you have to check the bill and see how the property is currently assessed. - groiny Aug 26, 13:28 3
        
        He can call and ask the questions generically without giving his address. -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 13:29 2

        true dat. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 13:29
Smart phones sold in CA must now have a "kill switch" in case of theft, the first requirement of its kind in the nation -- (link) - con_carne Aug 26, 13:06 5
- Downside: When crowds get unruly, as in Ferguson, authorities will be able to call it a "crowd-control measure" when they turn off everyone's phones. - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:41 2
  - Not really. There are like eight different ways that would be unconstitutional -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 14:23 1
    - Because they have been so concerned about that thus far. -- nm - Furgeson Police Aug 26, 14:33
- expect it to be a nationwide thing eventually -- nm - decline Aug 26, 13:09 1
  - I'm waiting for when they explode with blue dye -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 13:22

The knee defender fight took place in Economy Plus, not even in regular economy -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 13:04 3
- (this detail surprised me) -- nm - ty97 Aug 26, 13:04 2
  - they already have extra leg room, right? -- nm - decline Aug 26, 13:05 1
    - not tons, but yes. Regular economy is 31 (or sometimes, ugh, 30) inch seat pitch. E-plus tends to be 34. - ty97 Aug 26, 13:06
Do i dare google? Just got an order confirmation for "Amanda Hazard" to my gmail for the "Ultimate Body Applicator" - Andie Aug 26, 12:59 4

  - of course. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 13:22
- ... and I'll sell tickets! -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 13:00
Groiny, Tru, 11 months without Caveman aggravation. -- nm - David Aug 26, 12:53 15
- I heard there was a problem at BOP and the draft will have to be redone? -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 12:55 14
  - I heard you were getting traded back to Cavemen for Kim. -- nm - David Aug 26, 12:57 13
    - That would almost be fair. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 12:58 12
      - In that she has suffered too much and there is no amount of suffering that would be enough for you. -- nm - David Aug 26, 12:59 11
        
        Yeah, but she would still be married to you so it would only help so much. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 13:00 10
        
        True story... - David Aug 26, 13:03 9
        
        there HAS to be something! -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 13:28 6
        
        I try to ask every few weeks so that I can work on the stuff on a daily basis. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:31 5
        
        I am a fantastic spouse, and I am sure there are plenty of things I could do better. - groiny Aug 26, 13:32 4
        
        Amy and I have had a total of *two* disagreements in the last five years. - Spawn Aug 26, 13:35 3
        
        good lord, you people are not human! -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 13:36 2
        
        The only way I can get better is to learn and embrace my weaknesses in order to address and attack them. -- nm - David Aug 26, 13:47
        
        ST knows it (all too well), but lets do the math. 20 years ago she wrote my name for the first time. We had our 10th anniversary earlier this year. - Spawn Aug 26, 13:38
        
        What you can do is not the same as what she would like for you to do, silly. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 13:10
        
        Your IM would lead to Spawn having a Facebook account. -- nm - Inigo Aug 26, 13:09

- I swear to god, if he plays and I have to re-fight for him, I'm going to be pissed. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 12:56 2
  - I'll be surprised if he plays no games this season. - David Aug 26, 12:58 1
    - I got him for $9 in the first draft when people were actively trying. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 12:59

Want to evaluate my team in my fraternity's FFL? - nubby Aug 26, 12:45 4
- Looks like a very solid team. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 12:52 3
  - Not bad for drafting 9th in a 10-team league. -- nm - nubby Aug 26, 12:53 2
    - Not at all. You have a solid starting team with very nice backups. Hopefully you do well. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 13:31
    - Ah, 10 team league. That makes more sense. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 12:55
Also had an ultrasound this morning, so go ahead and guess. - Beryllium Aug 26, 12:42 25

- It's not a tumah -- nm - oblique Aug 26, 12:45
- Girl. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 26, 12:45
- I have no idea what information I'm supposed to use to guess these things -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 12:44 2
  - Hence the key word: 'guess' -- nm - JD Aug 26, 12:54
  - Random chance, I think.. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 12:52
- triplets. 2 girls & 1 boy -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 26, 12:43 2
  - Named Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium. Tritium's the boy, obviously, since it has two neutrons. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 12:48 1
    - Nicknames: Proti, Deuce, and Trister. Obviously. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 12:58
- WTF is with all the ST reproduction binge? -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 12:43 7
  - Two other people in our family are also pregnant, and due around the same time. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 12:53 5
    - Uh oh. Was there a family reunion a few months back? -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 13:24 1
      - Laugh it up, fuzzball. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:29
    - was there a major power outage during winter? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 26, 13:07 2
      - There was some big time indoor activities with the frigid winter we had. Gots to keep warm somehow. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 13:21
      - No. And one of them lives in Australia, so it would've been summer there. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 13:21
  - Some people took the call for expanding our rolls seriously. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 12:45
- girl! -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 12:43
LA's demand-based parking program Express Park resulting in lower fares, higher revenues. Expanding to Westwood and Hollywood -- (link) - con_carne Aug 26, 12:42
Samara's team still frightens me. Can we get someone dumber to draft for her? :) -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 12:42 6
- We'll force Bacon and her to merge next season. -- nm - David Aug 26, 12:55 1
  - [deleted]
- It should scare for years, but ML didn't draft McCoy, Lacy, Bryant or Graham. Any team would be scary with those four as core. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 26, 12:54 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Oh, I don't doubt it. Twice you've grabbed the player I considered with my choice. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 26, 12:59
- We went down in intelligence from Samara to a defense attorney. How much lower could we go? - Inigo Aug 26, 12:45
if I get a raise in january and get back pay through september that hits in my 2/28 paycheck, will I get a revised w-2? -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 26, 12:33 4
- I would expect it to be treated as 2015 income -- nm - decline Aug 26, 12:55 1
  - thanks guys. so what you're saying is - peggy ann m Aug 26, 13:16
- No. You're a cash basis taxpayer. -- nm - spamlet Aug 26, 12:40
- It sounds like a situation where you should get a revised one, but at that late date it would not shock me if they just treat it as 2015. -- nm - Max Aug 26, 12:37
It was no "sex with pets on the bed" -- nm - Roger More Aug 26, 12:27 7
- yeah, those cosmopolitan hotel ads don't tell you that you have to supply your own goats -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 26, 12:36
