ReplyDeleteLove the car on the page heading!~ I actually remember riding in those.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I would have to agree on a few of them!!
ReplyDeleteI love the list! Why in world are you paying 2 water bills a month? I have a hard time remembering to pay just one.
ReplyDeleteMandy, I wish I could give you a reasonable answer, but instead I will tell you what the bills say and then my opinion.
ReplyDeleteOne of them is for waste water treatment (averages $45). The other one is storm water treatment, water supply, service availability, utility taxes and sewer services (averages $120).
Quite a number of these terms sound like the same service, but that's just the way it is. This is an ultra democratic area and if the city can pass the buck to the people (rather than using tax funds, of which there is always a surplus) so they can provide more services to people who likely don't pay taxes, because they don't have jobs, that's what they do.
Love the lists! I needed a good laugh!!
ReplyDeleteThose lists are a great way to keep positive about moving, every place has positives and negatives. I know your family will have a great move. And you will probably hear a lot more about Sooner football, but since it is Nebraska it may not be positive. :D
