Most in my state getting their property tax info this week and getting slapped with a much higher increase than expected.

State did property reassessments last year and hadn't done it since the 80s. (Well weren't my parents lucky all that time, despite the whining they did about money when I was a kid!) So everyone expected an increase, but despite the supposed way to calculate it to estimate what it would be after everyone got their reassessment info in the mail last Nov... this turned out to be way higher. Added in are school districts that were able to pass increases that contribute to it as well.

Seen some saying theirs went up 46%, 81%, $1200, $1700, one said it basically doubled theirs. And this bill is gonna be due in Sept., so people have a pretty limited time to find that extra cash if finances are already tight.

I hope Coola doesn't get picked up by the ICE officers.

I hear they have to fill their "quotas" each month, so they're looking to deport as many minorities as possible. Even legally born hispanics in the U.S. are at risk. And the ones without identification get shipped off to Alcatraz prison and then to Southern Sudan to work on the slave farms for the rest of their days.

Coola, stay safe and indoors as much as possible.

Get working on the new underground railroad.

Figures that have never fallen down on the shelf that fall down.

One of my Marvel figures who has never fallen since I’ve had him fell last night and took out two other figures at 11:55 pm last night when I was asleep.

Netflix split seasons.

I get that they probably do it to try to keep people subscribed for longer, but it's off putting waiting nearly 3 years for a second season and then only getting 4 episodes before its back to waiting for a month to probably get just a very few more. Wednesday took so long I had started assuming it wasn't even getting another.

Bad enough streaming shows can go YEARS between seasons and it may then return with only 8 or 10 eps, yet back in the purely cable days they were still busy filming while completed episodes were airing and they might have 25 episodes in total for the season.

I'm surprised Andrew doesn't believe it. I fear for you hispanics. It's strange even hispanics who were born here and even their parents were born in America may have a risk of being deported if they find out the grandparents weren't legal citizens or immigrated here.

I don't want to see Coola taken away by the ICE agents.

Blind denial like all Hispanics that voted for Trump. I bet you most if not all the legal citizens that were taken or at the very least hassled over this were the same people that voted for the same man that was calling them all rapists and criminals during his first term and claimed their home country was going to pay for that wall.
