Morning ... Starting to warmup

 

[melensdad]

LATEST UPDATE:

Highland is now 1% against the tax increase
Munster is now 72% in favor of the tax increase
Lowell is still 65% solidly against the tax increase

LAST UPDATE:

• Highland swung to AGAINST with roughly a 4% margin opposing a tax increase to fund the schools
• Lowell stayed solidly AGAINST with 65% opposed
• Munster staying at 72% in APPROVAL

So 2 districts lost their appeal to the tax payers to pay for money for mediocre systems. 1 district, which is already among the best schools in the state, got a raise and continues more support from their taxpayers. I've lived in the Lowell district for 20+ years and never been impressed with the district, my wife taught here, but we sent our daughter to private school. Lived in Highland 10+ years and never was impressed with their schools, it was always "not Munster" in most ways. I lived in Munster for 20+ years and was always impressed with their school system.

It could also be noted that Lowell is solid middle class, the class hurt most by tax increases and inflation. Munster is far more upper middle class income earners and better able to absorb the effects of inflation and tax increases. Highland residential demographics are probably in-between the residents of Lowell and Munster. So income and life situation could very largely have made a big difference in the votes.

Thanks for asking.

I also think what might of helped Lowell reject it is Schneider and Shelby. Some of the folks out there are a little anti government .

Wednesday morning and my colonoscopy is over with and just another part of growing old.

What's going next door

 

[actaeon277]

about dam time!

Well, normally I can pass a kidney stone.
Or phillips milk of magnesium takes care of a blockage.


But nothing has changed.
Not even the location.
Kidney stones can move, and you can feel the pain move along the tract.

 

[Snapdragon]

Going to call the doc this morning.
I give up.

I'm sorry its that bad, but I'm glad you're doing something. If they make you wait weeks to get in, just go to the ER. (Or urgent care, but if you need CT scans or whatever, they will send you to the hospital anyway.)

 

[actaeon277]

Got a doc appt. this afternoon.


I didn't take a pain pill since yesterday early, so that I could see how bad the pain was.
It woke me up.

Soooo.. figure it's time.

 

[actaeon277]

Had to run checks to the Legion for the beer delivery.

Walked out of the house in my sweat pants, which are my 'indoor' clothes.

Guess what doesn't have the house key in it....

 

[actaeon277]

And my service engine light is on.
I JUST had 150k mile service done.
So now....

 

[Ballstater98]

Geez, if it weren't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any right now.

If living was easy, then dead people could do it

When it rains, it pours. Not that my problems compare to severe pain, but Monday was "National Do Not Work Day". Server went out at work, so I can't finish my projects (which have deadlines this week). I go home, and my Dad's water heater flooded the basement (which is also where my room is). I found out an entire load bearing wall on the house I'm remodeling is riddled with water and carpenter ant damage. And a $1500 GPU in my computer goes out.

Seriously, I hope it isn't anything serious, though. And, good luck.

And I hope your stuff works out too.
