My beard is pretty nice. Gonna have to trim it before the month is over. Last year I was rockin a full 6+ month jihad beard and got an email from the boss saying if I look like I've been living in the mountains it's unprofessional and what will people think waaaaa. So now I trim it every few months. My shame is great.

loving escrow for my house always underestimates my taxes. Last year was lovely with a 1200 dollar shortage. This year it's only 180 but come the gently caress on.

that's not your escrow, that's the lender.

my lender hosed up years ago and sent a ~$1000 check because "oh, your escrow had a surplus" only to get pinned 3 months later with a higher mortgage payment because my lender is loving retarded.

Owning a house is cool because you can paint and change the floors and poo poo but it loving sucks when the taxman cometh or the air conditioner breaks.

My car tax in CT was 400/year for my lovely 2003 Mazda.

CT charged me tax on my car from when I lived there even though I provided documentation that I was in the Navy at the time. Instead of voiding the charge they just sent it to collection and I got a letter from some collection agency. When I send my letter response I totally wrote gently caress you under the stamp. That'll show them.

I'd go to a friend's house to watch beavis and butthead/ren and stimpy. I never thought the simpsons was very funny but there was a line about a "drat saxophone" or something that caused my parents to ban it from the house.

When I got a little older me and my dad would watch south park until the episode where satan boxed jesus or somethihng came on and it was banned from the house. Fart and dick jokes are cool until you make fun of jesus apparently.

Poor dog hates going out in the rain but he has to poo poo so bad that I'll take him out so he runs into the yard, panics, and runs back inside.

There was a story this morning on the local npr station about flying the confederate battle flag at the civic center. Lots of deep southern drawls all MAH HURITAGE and one dude even said something about honoring the VETERANS that fought and DIED totally glossing over the fact they were all traitors every last one of them. You don't see them wanting to honor the british soldiers that died in our wars with them, or any of the desert folks we've fought and killed over the decades.

I got all my taxes back between education credits and being poor as gently caress for the first half of 2014.

This year I'm doing a proper W4 withholding so instead of having a juicy tax return I just get 300-ish more a check. Unless I hosed up my math and then I get slammed with unpaid taxes. It's an adventure!

Yeah doing it myself like that is terrifying. I'll just do the normal poo poo cause it works for me.

I got a va loan and the hardest part was dealing with their inspection and appraisal. They valued the house a few thousand lower so the sellers had to lower their price which left us with a "better deal" but we lost some stuff like washer and dryer and had to pay a few more costs to even it out.

Definitely find a local lender. We tried to go through navy federal and it was such a pain even trying to contact our guy. Your loan officer doesn't work at your local branch. Everything is done out of San Antonio. They send you a massive amount of paperwork with no explanation or guide and to me going over it with a real person helps.

That said your loan will be sold to another bank immediately either way. Now I get to work with Wells Fargo :11tea:

Well it's all gotta wait till tomorrow cause I was drinkin when I figured out the waterline was too long (made of metal and bending it put pressure on the pipe, need shorter) so I couldn't go get the replacement. I think I did okay but I get paranoid.

Toilet drama over. Ended up having to get a 20" water line because the 9" was just too long and didn't bend, the 12" was bendable but there was a hard crease in it that would probably be bad over time, and the longest one let me loop it around in a safe manner. After many flushes no apparent water leakage and I took my first dump in it with the poop going right where it needed to. All in all a healthy experience. Being a homeowner (homo-ner) sucks sometimes but then others it's a-ok. Welp that's my boring story, tune in next time for, "What room will I paint next?"

Ours is 150 a year, they maintain the sign at the entrance and I guess are responsible for the street lights, and they send out notifications that I put my garbage cans out too early the day before trash (3pm when they can't be out before 5pm suck my dick). They obviously don't care about some people's literal dirt yards with garbage in them.

The problem with getting anything done with the HOA is not enough owners show up and a quorum can't be established to vote on anything so nothing happens.
