Rant: One of our cars just broke down, may be dead for good, and it's the worse possible time for $$ because of the wedding and honeymoon. |
iceeu2: At least in the State of Florida. I even went back in the store to inquire about it after looking at my receipt. The customer service lady showed me the list the State provides, and there it was..lunch boxes are taxed as normal. Even ones under $10.00.
Go figure. /:) |
Good for you, Diana! And, congrats to beachgirl!

Rave--DH is climbing Mt. Hood again with friends. Rant--Still need to do some cleaning before everyone arrives today...but I really don't mind:) |
BTW, regarding "tax free" shopping - by me, socks are taxable as they are considered an "accessory". Don't know if that is the same where you are. It just came as a surprise to me!

Happy travels to all! Congrats on weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and weight loss!

Rant: I am at home with a nasty cold. On the bright side, I'm not at the office.
Rave: We just bought a car!! Now we can take weekend trips again w/o the hassle of renting. It's going to be super expensive...but I think we were in need of a change. I can't remember the last time I was upstate, hiking in the woods, or canoeing on the Delaware... |
