  2. Um I dont pay property taxes Im in an apartment complex Having 2 dogs i have a limited choice of apartments to live in. This happend to be one of the nicer ones for not too bad of a price...When I moved in 3 years ago the management rocked. That has recently changed.... Believe me, no matter WHERE you are, you are paying property taxes! Living in an apartment means that you don't get to claim them on YOUR taxes, but the other guy does. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

  16. 5. WFFC Thanks for the vote of confidence, we're already busy planning 2006 to be better than ever. Just talked to our bikini clad pond nymphs and they have an entire bag of tricks lined up already for 2006. I tell you, those girls are on the ball. Fleahop is already looking for cool new aircraft, and the grounds people have an entirely new look in mind for WFFC 2006. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  17. Cool! Sounds like you guys are really gonna like our next set of announcements! What did you pay to come to the WFFC in 1999? skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  18. Hey guys, don't let him fool you, he's no simple pilot HE'S THE BOMB!! You know the pilot who heads up all of our FAA discussions and dumps you guys upside down from the Pitts bi-plane when Freddie is busy flirting on the ground! Fleahop is VERY serious about this and for years he has done his best to find us new and attainable aircraft. Without his able bodied assistance the DC 3 and the DC 4 would never have been in the air this year. He is also in discussion with our regional FAA types to get the Perris Jet approved for the WFFC 2006. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  19. I know that you are open minded, but that's a little scarey... skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  20. Well, she said she needed to stay there, the rent is cheap, but she DOESN't have to live in a death trap. That is my point. She has options, and the money that she pays to the landlord can go to him, or to a contractor (at least in Illinois) so she can let her landlord know that, and the ball is in his court. I have been a landlord for many many years, and I can fix a running toilet for 89 cents. A plumber would charge 40 bucks. The average landlord is gonna say, "gee, maybe I should spend a day over at SuperKats house and save my self a bundle of money" She just isn't a priority with him at this point. She has to make herself a priority skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  21. Well, duh. Guess I shouldn't try to talk on the puter when I'm as beat as I was last night! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  22. I'll pass your commentary on to Streaker and we'll be keeping our eyes open for you! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  23. Good planning on the parts of both of the dzo's. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  24. DON'T DO THIS!! Your rent will go thru the roof, and you may even be evicted. After 10 years on city council, in the 'college ward' of Rock Island I can tell you this. Most states have some sort of rental group. In Illinois they are very active, and are great at lobbying for new laws to protect the renter, the property and the neighborhood. If a home in my ward was not up to code, I always recommended that a renter contact the code department of the city, and ask for any building codes that pertain to whatever the complaint is. You can get this information without giving your address, many times on line. For instance. You do not currently have central heat. Many places require it. If you do not have a storm door, it may be against code in your area. If you have an electrical outlet that is shocking you, it may (OOPS IT IS!!) against code. Your letter should clearly state which items are code enforcement issues. You should clearly state which code is in violation, you should let your landlord know that you have checked the rental statutes pertaining to the codes. In my city, my advice was let the landlord know that you know the code, and are requesting the repair of the violation. If he does not repair the violation within a reasonable period of time (and in some cases that is 48 hours) hire a contractor, get it repaired and subtract the cost of the repair from the next rent check(s). This is the statute here, and it works. Many times people would call the inspection department, who would come out, find that the wiring, heating or foundation were 'life threatening" and the renter would be evicted immediately, until the item was brought up to code by the landlord. This would take it completely out of the hands of the renter and leave them homeless. DON"T INVITE AN INSPECTOR IN, unless you plan to move. Then he can come in and shut down your landlord from renting to anyone else until the place is fixed. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
  25. Take some time to study what the American Lung Association has to say about Asthma, triggers and treatments. My son spent 89 weeks in the hospital with Cronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) He is a very severe asthmatic. We were fortunate to live close to the University of Iowa Hospitals and we managed to get him in on some of the studies that were going on, so that his allergy meds and clinic visits weren't quite as expensive as they may have been otherwise. Some important things that I learned. Todays allergies may be different than tomorrows, so be watchful. DON:T use the WRONG inhaler at the wrong time. The results can be DEADLY. A steroid inhaler must be used ONLY AS DIRECTED BY A DOC> A "rescue" inhaler is an "as needed" inhaler, and it's main ingredient is NOT steroids, but is usually albuterol. It requires a prescription. It must also be used as directed, with some latitude. An over the counter inhaler is the LEAST effective, and most likely to be abused. We had a good friend die because of her misuse of one of these. When you know that you are going to be exposed to triggers, you may use a resue inhaler 15 minutes to 30 minutes prior to the exposure, and it should minimize the severity of the attack. You may otherwise be prescribed to use it X number of times per day, and you may be told to contact the doc if you feel the need to us it more than Y number of times. My recommendation to you is to find a YOUNG pediatriacian or internal medicine specialist, because the advances in this field have been tremendous in the last 20 years. Young docs are getting wonderful training in this field, and we were fortunate that the new young doc was on call when my son had an asthma attack that nearly killed him. The young doc was so far ahead in training and education than our old wonderful, beloved doc was, that we immediately changed partners. Old doc understood entirely. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
