What's the deal with property taxes, or, for that matter, with all the taxes in Florida? I live in Texas and there's a property tax of the total property value set usually around 1.5 to 2%. That's roughly $5000 for a $250,000 home. In Florida, it seems, taxes are MUCH lower for property. This seems too good to be true. Yet, there are countless legislative bills going through demanding that taxes be lowered. What is really going here? How much would an average resident expect to pay annually in taxes (not just property)?

Also, can anyone explain what 'millage' is? I'm completely lost here and am obviously missing something if you can move to Florida, have a million dollar home and barely pay anything in taxes on it (~$10,000 or so annually).

I was told about a government site grants.gov. Yet ita appears that the grants being offered there are very specific to what the granter/government is wanting created/established and nothing open enough for what I want to establish. So is there really nothing out there as far a grants for opeing or starting new businesses?

My wife was watching Beauty and the Geek, when I jokingly brought up that it would be funny if they did the same show but with gender roles reversed (good looking but somewhat airheaded guys paired up with socially awkward women).
She thought it would work, I think there would be problems; I think the guys would just hound the women and it wouldn't provide the moments of anxious awkwardness that makes this show popular. My opinion is that in society its usually the guys role (whether right or wrong) to be dominant and go after the woman, thats why nervous guys and good looking women is an interesting mix. But lemme know what yall think, agree with me or with her?

I don't know what's going on with me, I am a self proclaimed hetrosexual and am extremely into guys, but awhile back and lately again im having some homosexual feelings, I feel so guilty and it is never something I want to return back to... see the deal is I started thinking these really gross thoughts about a particuluar women, but im starting to think it is because she is a great example to me, and I deeply respect her but I have emotional reasons I dont know how to express it right?
Other than that I havent really experienced to much just like looking around and comparing my boob size to others, and realizing how beautiful women are but not feeling sexually attracted really, I guess I should be praying to God for help not asking strangers for help, but feel free to give me advice!!!
Oh by the way I'm a christian so I will never and have no desire to be a homosexual!!!

I have fine hairs around my hairline but one part has always been slightly thinner than the rest. The effect is that it looks like I'm missing hair. Should I shave off all of my fine hairs to even it out or will this make my forehead look huge? I know that not everyone has fine hair around their forehead and they look fine without it. Has anyone ever done this and what was the outcome?

I bought a home with a girl I am no longer seeing. She asked me to move out and I told her I could not afford rent and the morgage. She said her mom would help and not to worry about it. Later I signed papers to get my name off the deed for the house. My name is still on the mortgage. Is there anything I can do beyond her refinancing the house in her own name to fix this? I need out of this situation and I don't no what to do

Is it sinful that I am curious about the church of satan?
I just want to get an idea about their beliefs and practices, but I have absolutely no plans to turn to Him at all.
I am strong in my Catholic beliefs and always will be.
