NYS asks you to pay retail taxes on items purchased out of state and brought into the state. It's self-reported and I think they have no intention of enforcing it.
If you buy a car out of state you gotta pay sales tax on the state you bring it in to (at least if you live in IL). That was a big surprise to me (an there was no way to not pay it).
eta: They make you pay the tax when you get the title transfered to you. So that wouldn't apply if you buy a car out of state and then move to IL.
Ohio has a tax like that, including online purchases. I don't know that they're enforcing it either.
(And if they do, I hope they take credit cards.)

Michigan does that, too. You get to select from a range of dollar amounts, and through some complicated extra table homework hoodoo, the state tells you how much you so totally owe them for cheating on your local businesses with the internets.
I'd feel bad for the LAisas, except I'm in Minneapolis,
Same here. Saturday morning, I'm in Detroit.
At least buildings here are properly insulated and heated.
Exactly this. My classroom has (for all intents and purposes) no heat. I'm huddled over a space heater at the moment because 58 degress outside may not be bad, but it's no fun inside.

Yeah, I bought my current car in WI, figuring I'd save myself some money with the cheaper sales taxes and they were all "Oh, no, you've got to pay IL sales taxes on this."

Also, MSP has the skyway system.
I've still got snow on my balcony but because of the wonders of insulation? Warm enough. This building for actual weather thing is brilliant!
I need to evict kitty from the bed though so I can nap.I need to evict kitty from on top of my tummy so I can nap. She thinks her nap is more important than mine. Maybe I can just sleep like this. She is kinda warm.
Kat, I meant to thank you. Thank you!
I really want a nap.
Since I have to teach again shortly, I think I'm going to have to settle for coffee instead.
We're having a movie in the conference room at 3:30, but I really do have a shitload of work to do (I've been working HARD this week -- have you people noticed??), but now I don't want to do it. Bah.
