Feeling Chillin'

Tired!


I really should be going to bed... but hey! time for an entry!  It has really been hard staying off of journals.  Right now I think I am feeling every emotion imaginable!!  lol  I am tired!  I have been appealing county taxes and 9 times out of 10 I win.  Before starting to pursue something like this... you must have the facts.  Facts that say one thing but mean something else.  lol  Kind of a no win situation.  I was fighting a loosing battle.  The first of May I go in for another hearing.  I even found the evaluation form on how they taxed me!  They made a $2,000 mistake... how did they do that?  They have to go by a form to be fair.    Pictures do not work, you have to have written proof.  They say my barn was built in 1998 when it was built in 1984... gee 14 years older!  How did they get this figure when they have taxed me on it for years??  They were hoping that I did not have the paper work.  I am a pack rat and keep all receipts.  They said our shed was made in 1994 and thank goodness my son wrote his name and put the year 1988.  I still have the 2 checks for the concrete and all supplies to make it.  It cost $200 for the concrete and they say the concrete is worth $900.  That is how much it cost for the whole shed!
 
I will give you some very valuable information if you have a county like mine.  Do get a builders permit... for sure!!  The permit states what the price is.  Our building cost $34,000 and if it had not had a permit, the concrete alone on their valuation would be $31,000.  Concrete never depreciates!!!  They have raised the value of our land and I can understand that as long as they don't go over board.  I am sure they will raise it more the next time!
 
Living with a husband like mine does not help!!!  Grrrr  I have been searching on line for information.  I have gone to bed at 1 and even 3 a.m. one night.  Sunday morning I got up at 7:30 to get ready for church.  I was feeding the dogs.  I gave Cherokee her food... and I was standing by the coffee pot in deep thought.. don't even know what I was thinking about.  My husband yells out at me... "Wake up and do your job!!"  I had not given the other 2 dogs their food and Cherokee was eating hers.  I told him not to talk to me that way and a few other choice words.  He made his exit into the master bathroom.
When he came back I told him... "I know that I am at the bottom of your sh@@ list but keep your mouth shut about what you think of me!  You are not my parent, teacher, boss, and I am not your slave!"  He said something hateful and I told him... "If you want to get technical about it; I get sick of watching you sleep in your recliner every night for 2 hours before you go to bed, with your mouth open!"  Monday he twisted his knee and could not sleep for 2 nights.  He has not fallen asleep in his recliner as much this week.  Then today I said something and he got mad!!  The man has a brain problem!  I got in the car, met Terry Ann and Carlie, and dropped a bunch of stuff off at DAV.  Keeping a receipt... income is just as bad as state!! lmbo
 
Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend.  I wonder if the weather has something to do with moods... it isn't a full moon out tonight.  lol  Sorry for the rant!  I have read a few rants other than mine.  lol All of you are in my prayers.  God Bless, Janie

    It sounds like your county is trying to cheat you for as much money as they can.  It's a good thing you have all that paperwork.  Hope you win each time.

    Your job?  What a perception of women he has.  Barbaric and archaic at best.  I am so hoping you win this tax thing after as hard as you've worked.  


    Blessings on you and Peace for your household,
