What? A thread up here wanders off topic?That hardly ever happens!

I was thinking about that train, KG. If it went to Racine, my BIL would probably ride it. He works in Racine - so he's got a less-than-fun drive from Fox Point.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Unless he works at J-Wax, that train isn't going stop anywhere near where he works, and it's not even that close to J-Wax.What really galls me is that they intend to pay for the *&^#! train by doubling the already excessive tax on rental cars. The daily tax rate on rentals would actually be higher than what some companies charge as a daily rate for a rental.Does that sound fair?You can not going to solve 21st Century transportation problems with 19th Century technology.

Nope- he works at Insinkerator. He's going to get me a deal on an instant-hot unit and a disposal for my kitchen. But he used to work at SCJ.

Yesterday was Owen's first birthday. My sister had a really touching blog entry. (O-man is such a cutie!)

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Can he get duplicates???

 

[chefann]

Duplicate kitchen appliances? I think there's a limit to the number he can get in one year. And I believe they're limited to family members. So unless you want to pretend to be the ececntric uncle....

The family was also featured in a couple of magazine ads for Skil tools (same parent company). I don't have them with me, but they're on my system at home (I think). They got a huge bundle of tools as payment for it.

I have nieces and nephews who will testify that I don't have to pretend.

KG, you just need to move up north and relax...

I didn't want to leave Racine (and the MKE area) and move when I got married, but now 8 years later, I visit Racine about once a year and can't wait to head back up north. I really don't like what it is becoming...too much "progress"...

ISE - good company...at least when I was growing up...

I heard it was a garbage company.

Well, at least, a garbage grinder company.



And I'm not going to move to Up North unless it's for 4 months a year. I can tell you, if I move, it's going to be OUT of this tax hell.

I saw a segment on them on Unwrapped, showing the testing lab. Very cool! Of course, that's what DH does now, so he was interested in the various testing methods, too.

My primary residence would be in a place where, if the governor says he isn't going to raise taxes, he doesn't actually raise taxes.

Unlike Diamond Jim "I'll Say Anything To Get Re-elected" Doyle.

"...we must not raise taxes..." is what he said before the election, after the election, he has a budget that increases taxes by $1.9 Billion dollars.

Can you suggest a Blog host site?Since my family and I are over here in Germany, I really want to start blogging so that i can keep our family up to date on our adventures and post pictures of where we go. But I want it to be password sensitive, so that no unwanted viewers will see what we write, being that we're in the military and all...Can anyone suggest a good blog site that is password sensitive??
