The car tax thing is ridiculous.

Not only that, I got taxed when I registered the vehicle. So, to recap:

1. I was taxed on the initial purchase.
2. I was taxed on the value so I could register it in Florida.
3. I am taxed each year because I own it.

I'm going to go in and give it one last shot. At this point it's not a big deal. But if I ever decide to sell it or trade it in, it becomes one. MAN, I am so tired of fighting for what's right.

I wish you luck, hopefully you will come across a person who understands what you are talking about

Thanks. I will let you know how it turns out.

You must be confused krikit because you don't know that 'taxes are so much lower in the U.S.'

I remember a while back reading that a bunch of Canadian VJ'ers have a group on Facebook. I have finally joined Facebook and am hoping to join the group.

Can I? Can I? Huh huh huh?

The VJ group is called Visa Journey.

There are other Canadian groups though. Across the border Can-Am Couples. Canadians in the US EH!!! Canadians living in the US (established by me but..haven't kept it up!!)

So netflix brought us a movie on Tuesday - Tara Road - it's based on the Maeve Binchy novel of the same name.

Tara Road was an Oprah's book club book - which I read and loved and have since read every book that Maeve has written.

Anyway, it was a pretty good movie, it's funny when you have read the book though, I kept kind of filling in the parts that I knew had already happened and you keep thinking - if you hadn't read the book would this really make sense? I guess so!

Funny, the movie was never actually released in the theatres in the U.S., I don't know why.

Oh and I sent a postcard to Maeve to tell her how much I like her books and she sent me a postcard back!

I agree!

And I enjoyed the book, too, Trailmix. But I think my favourite one was Evening Class. But I'm not sure, yet, because I still haven't read them all.

I had to leave a Canada--USA forum on yahoo,lol The mod figured she owned the right free speech and CORRECT info! I felt bad for some of the new people that joined (wasnt that big of a forum, and not very active) they passed out incorrect info and I tried to correct them. And to back up my correct info I quoted posts from VJ. Yhey really hated that,lol and then I started to notice my posts were taking forever to be posted, or they were not. She decided to limit what i could say!! Needless to say I left that group,lol

I guess one spaycheque may be taxed less here in the USA (not sure has I haven't worked yet, and I dont pay attention to wifes,lol) but they sure do find other taxes, like the car tax one!! And if one has to purchase private insurance, could be another $400 plus a month for that

That sucks about the Yahoo group. Maybe we should all join and start talking about VJ to really piss her off.

Not to mention the insurance you have to buy to cover you for people who don't have insurance.

I have read all her novels and most of her short stories, and Evening Class is my favourite with Scarlet Feather a very close second, and Quentin's a very close third. But heck, I love them all, she is fantastic!
