I will be attending college in DC and I just wanted to know:
What is the sales tax in Washington DC?
Are items such as food and clothing exempt from the tax? because in PA, we don't pay tax on food and clothing.
Any feedback would be great, Thanks.

For me, it was the time my mom and I stayed at this hotel. A guy came knocking on our door. My mom was taking a shower, and I was watching t.v. It seemed odd that somebody would knock on our door, since we weren't expecting anyone. I peered into the door hole to see a young guy. I opened the door (leaving the lock on) and asked him if he needed help. He tells me he was a waitor from the restaurant downstairs and came upstairs to take our order since the restaurant was about to close. I ordered two chicken dinners. He asked for $20 and would return with the change and our dinners. To make a long story short, no change, no food. The guy had run off with our money. From that moment, we were very cautious. Tell me your experience!!

...what do you like most about the UK?

(in no order of preference, I adore Marmite, Cadbury's, Branston Pickle, cucumber sandwiches & tea, John Cleese, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Tracy Ullmann, Elton John, fog, cliffs, pubs, darts, Stonehenge, those sexy accents, etc.)

How about you?

(I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California, btw)

bonus points if you know the '70s song in the header lol

it's a sin city,look at the advertisments there with women exposing themselves,the naked cowboy,and all the godless heathen trash. The whole thing is Satan's plan for the "Me,Me,Me" selfish people,get everything what you want ,whenever you want,just endulge yourself.

Trying to determine where to relocate; doing some research.

How far away is it from downtown Houston? What is the traffic like? Is it affordable? Does it flood during hurricane season? Are there good salaries? Are there plenty of parks and entertaiment areas? Is it diverse in races as some people say? Which is better: The Woodlands, TX or Sugar Land, TX?

my fiance and i are planning on moving to Nevada or California. does anyone know what type of allergies affect the locals most? and if Las Vegas is a bad choice if we have severe allergies to mold, ragweed, grass, and cedar? (No, we do not need to live in a bubble...so don't even post that as an option)
