8% because I live in Arapahoe county. If I lived further south, in Douglas county it would be 8.75% in the same city. Do you pay based off where you live or where you shop? All I know is it's more than Alberta.

For cars and other motor vehicles, boats and aircrafts, based on where you live.

Everything else, based on where you shop.

you guys are lucky...we pay 9.5% here. sigh.

You might want to try an allergist. When I had a cat, I had reactive sinusitis that lead to infections and then respiratory issues. They can give you stuff to combat that or try OTC zyrtec for a while. It takes more than a few days to begin working.

i've been taking claritin since we got the cat maybe two months ago, it's been awesome. i usually get puffy red eyes when i come into contact with kitty dander but claritin always helps prevent that.

Sometimes an allergy will not surface until extended exposure causes a saturation to your tolerance to the allergen. But allergies will not cause fever. But can lead to other things that will cause fever.

Chest pain maybe muscle skeletal from coughing. Your lungs don't have nerves that transmit pain.

An extended fever is cause for concern brat. And may be viral in nature (vs bacterial).

At any rate, I'm no doctor, but I hope they get a handle on it. Upper respiratory infections are complex in nature. And often difficult to diagnose.


That is to say, easy to diagnose. But difficult to find cause.

at this point, i don't even care what it is. i just wanna stop coughing, it's keeping me awake at night, keeping jonas awake at night, and everyone is just crabby. also, even with insurance, healthcare is effing expensive here. geesh.

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

9.5%?? Holy screaming eagle sheet......that's a rip off!

Come to think of it, if you have a viral infection, Jonas woulda gotten sick too......

You need to pop some immune booster, like some Vitamins, you ever heard of a Rishi mushroom supplement? Or try some echinacea.....
