icon_eek ...and you then did what?

Just called the cops again. Nothing else we can do about it. This is a problem every year, we live on a smaller river and the beach is full of people every summer.

A lot of them are there to drink. Make noise all night. By the end of the summer the beach is half broken beer bottles.

They were lined up today down to machias road. Not even summer yet. I stay away from there cause of the people.


Yeah, and a few parking on the bridge. Makes it hard for 2 large pickups or dump trucks to pass each other.

Or just stopping in the middle of the road looking for a spot to park holding up a line of cars.

My brothers French commie girlfriend.
Says France is so much better than the US because they recycle everything. and the US puts trash in landfills.
I asked her what they did with all of the recycled material.
She says they burn it all for power generation and save the Earth from destructive landfills.
Plus wants fossil fuels to be banned as they emit greenhouse gasses. Unlike burning trash, apparently.
She's been advocating a 90% tax on wealth for years.

How pervasive the gimme attitude is among lefties.
Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here . . . .
Hand out the arms and ammo
We're gonna blast our way through here . . . .

Here is a sweet 1969 song supporting revolution in the streets, and what are these would-be rebels expecting? That someone (!) will hand them arms and ammo! For free, of course.

If they owned their own arms and ammo, they could just (as Ben Franklin urged) show up ready to do what they'd trained for, but NOOOOO . . . owning a gun was dangerous to living things and very uncool among pop rock musicians, even way back in the hippy dippy Woodstock era.

And if you're racking your brain trying to remember who recorded that hit, it was Thunderclap Newman, from the land of Fabian Socialists. Have a nice day!

You do know that almost everyone pays way more in interest on the mortgage, vs what they save on the mortgage credit right?


This is very true but hard for most people to grasp.
Other thing that most don't comprehend is that when they get a refund after filing their taxes they just gave the Fed's an interest free loan for the previous year. People thing they're getting "free money", not realizing that it's just their money to begin with.

Paying closer attention to the amount of deductions on a W-4 can fix that. Just put the extra buck that show up in the paycheck in the bank then spend it after you file your taxes.

glockgirl---- Don't worry, you can still take the property tax deduction and the way things are going it will soon exceed what anyone would pay in mortgage interest. When my house is paid off I'll still be paying as much in taxes as some pay for their mortgage alone.

While on the "what pisses you off" topic, Voters who live in rental properties who vote for every tax increase or levy proposed thinking that they won't have to pay it. So stupid they don't realize that it will just show up in their rent when the landlord gets the bill for what THEY voted in. Funny thing is, many landlords aren't able to vote on property tax increases or levies on property they own because they don't live in the same area as their property.

Maybe property taxes should only be voted on by PROPERTY OWNERS and they get a vote where the property is located, regardless of where they actually reside.

If she thinks France is so much better, next time she spouts off on? this just ask her WTF is she here? One thing certain, there are a lot more people trying to get into the US than into France. Even those escaping Africa and mid-East countries only pass through France on their way somewhere else.

When I lived in Europe I found that France was just perfect ------- for the French. It fit their arrogant attitudes.

Call them tomorrow morning, and cancel. Flat out cancel the service.

I am willing to wager they knock at least $50 off the bill.

Re-think your service. Do you need it all?

Comcast is programmed to keep the cash flow. They will reduce it, believe me.


I'm going to give them a call. I've been very happy with my Comcast services so far. I am also paying for 50 mbps internet and getting 85 mbps, so that's a plus too.

Just ask about jury nullification, and you will be gone.

Or be a reasonable citizen and sit on a jury if you are called?

As if sitting in Sea-Tac waiting to fly to California isn't bad enough...there is a fucking Hillary press conference on the only tv in the overpacked smelly waiting area.

Grab her purse and take 90% of her money and then see if she shuts up. My cousin was the same way years ago in college, he smartened up later in life.

She lives in Paris, was just visiting.
Her family owns an old castle and winery. Be funny when the government takes it over.
She's on the dole, writes a freelance article when she needs quick cash.

My commie felon brother thinks France is better too.
Can't wait until EU starts doing background checks so he can't go over there anymore.
Funny, he can go to just about any country except Canada, where they actually check.

I'm divorced and have child support and bills to pay damnit.

Didn't have to, 'twas about a dui case, they wrote my ass off as soon as they learned that I was involved in LEO type work on the water, and did a fair amount of BWI type arrests.
