:)  Thanks...Bea is another Pets Nest Board rescue.  Her and her siblings were rescued, transported and adopted out by several Pets Board regulars.  mm1569 handled much of the rescue on her own....a really great story.  H and I ended up fostering Bea but my mother would watch her (because she was so young) while H and I were at work.  Mom & Bea fell in love and mom adopted her (we co-adopted as Mom is in her 70s)...it worked out so perfectly as my father passed away not long before Bea came into her life.  Probably much more than you wanted to know....but, thanks...I'll let my mother know just how cute her pup is!

8/1 is what I saw in the Metro. I don't know if it was a confirmed date or just what they were proposing.

What! Where the heck have I been?  When did this come around.  Are you serious! It's going up to over 6%!  I heard they wanted to raise the gas tax, but I hadn't heard anything since.  Now this!  Welcome back Taxachusetts!

They're taxing alcohol now too.  From 0 to 6.5%.  Stores on the NH border are pissed.

OMG! I can imagine they would be pissed.  That's crazy! People will either travel to NH or CT for things they need depending on where they live.
