The Mayor ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tonight, try to recover from the Work Week From Hell plus cookie-baking and massive house-cleaning.
Tomorrow, Holiday Open House in afternoon, plus in-laws staying overnight.
Sunday, get rid of In-Laws, then off to see Invictus (I hope).
BTW, any LAistas who want to brave the rain and pop by our Open House and eat ham and schmancy cheese and delicious pumpkin bread, email me and I'll send you our address!
My mother would kill me and then it would turn into COPS.
I always wondered how polygamists manage, money-wise.
I don't give a damn how many wives/husbands people want to have (I'm very much more opposed to huge batches of children, simply from a population standpoint) but holy crow, it looks exspensive! Especially if you're operating under what (my admittedly sketch) knowledge of Muslim (and I think Mormom) parity is, where each spouse has to be provided for equally.
It's very much a "if we can do it, anyone can" thing.
I'd probably have an easier time being debt free if I got paid to be on tv, called my house a church and didn't pay taxes.
Do they call their house a church? (I don't watch the show; I know nothing.)
They don't go to a regular church -- they have church services in their house, for the family and sometimes a few other families, with their father leading the service. I've read a few places (too lazy to google now) that they don't have to pay property taxes on that part of the house, since churches are tax-exempt.
I am hopefully not going to have a toothache this weekend. It's not heat sensitive at the moment, and cold doesn't make it appreciably better, so that's a good sign. Of course, I also realized that this morning was the first that I didn't take advil ( for the jaw pain) so it might have always been there, just masked by the drugs. It's not throbbing now, so we'll see.
My understanding is they don't pay taxes on any of it.

That seems unlikely. It's probably a similar tax code to what governs home offices and the like. If not, everyone would declare their house a church pretty quickly whether or not they built the thing with cash.
