How come if you screw up and pay too little tax, they want it all at once, but if they screw up and you pay too much tax, they get to pay you back in instalments?

C’mon Your Majesty, I know You’re good for the money… what a gip.

I have to wash my new (to me)sbgs much sooner than anticipated

A "chemically impared" motorist took out a fire hydrant and power line right outside our house this evening so I spent several hours wading through muddy water - somewhere between 45k and 90k gallons total

Oh shit dude that is louuuusy

[GraemeE]

Bright spots are the kids are stoked to go to a hotel and police and fire offered to move my record collection to safety

[EdH]

@GraemeE Damn! That sucks, and especially this time of year. I hope everything works out!

[Giles]

Jeez, keep safe....

[GraemeE]

I will say that I spent a good portion of my youth shit talking life in the suburbs but every one of our neighbors as well as all the first responders all went above and beyond to help us out - unfortunately you don't always get that same attitude living in big cities these days

Good to hear. Much strength for the next days!

@GraemeE
wow that really sucks .
all the best an much strength for you and your family!

@GraemeE thats really rubbish but good to hear the local community rallied round. Hope everything’s resolved quickly. Looking for the positives, I guess you won’t need to worry about soaking your SBGs before washing!

[TinMan]

@GraemeE Hope you back home as soon as possible. It is good to hear your community stepped up to help. Be safe.

@GraemeE now that’s what I call tax dollars at work ️

Really glad y’all are being taken care of, and hope everything’s all sorted out soon

@GraemeE Oh man, that is so less than ideal. Sending some positive energy to you and the family. Hope you were able to get some rest and that you’re able to get back to normal quickly. And hallelujah about the record collection!

[tody]

@GraemeE That's bad. Any structural water damage to the house or garage?

[Matt]

Best of luck to you @GraemeE. My family would be so fucking annoying if this happened to them at Xmas. I’d have to suffocate them all in their sleep.

[GraemeE]

@Matt they are but they are also distracted by the joy of a hotel

Swimming in an indoor pool and disrespecting the fuck out of the continental breakfast

[GraemeE]

@tody very possibly....will know more once the dust settles
