No problem, guys, glad you're OK. Here's the bill!

Oh, I thought you meant the rebate we got in October/November, which was separate from last year’s taxes.

They're inversely common to the number of cats you have.

I have my taxes from last year so I should be able to pull from that but still odd...

​

Why can't this crap all be digital I mean for 90% of us they know exactly what we make and pay in taxes

I didn’t get one either (and yes, I itemized last year, and no, I didn’t get the full SALT deduction). Thought that was weird but I wound up just finding the amount of the rebate from my bank statement and the rest wasn’t hard to figure out so I didn’t really need the form.

I’ve never been closer to such a drastic difference in snowfall. I’m downtown and it snowed a lot but only 6 inches accumulated. 5 minutes down the steeet they got 20+ inches lol

Mice are common everywhere. Like EVERYWHERE.

Pretty sure we got one.

I live in an old house right outside of Boston and we get mice sometimes. So do a lot of other people in my neighborhood. I've only seen rats outside.

Given that much snow, one might consider stompin at such a location…

There everywhere, I was living in a building in Lowell that was recently shut down for having to many mice and caused poor air quality due to the mice shitting on top of the drop ceilings.

Been doing it the same way year after year after year...

It's only taxable if you both itemized and did not take the full salt deduction at the same time (kind of hard to do, not impossible). I think I read it's like 0.2% of taxpayers. Show your tax person your federal taxes from last year and ask if that applies to you.

I've seen a few mice in my Boston dorms/apartments over the years, but not many. Never heard of a rat going into someone's home though. They usually get into trash/compost outside.

I grew up an hour outside Boston and we always got the occasional mouse in the house. Never had any rats until my parents got chickens. They set traps and secured the coop and food better and haven't seen any rats since.

People over estimate their ability to handle difficult situations until they are in them and only then realize they are in over their head

I am so confused. Were they tourists? There were so many storm warnings everywhere and they just said, the hell with it? I get that I got more snow in the hilltowns (buried already by Tuesday morning) so maybe it wasn't as heavy when the set out in the morning but there were still warnings it was going to continue.

My brain can't process the logic, or lack of logic.

We've rented in Boston, Somerville, Newton, Westboro, Lowell and Arlington and have never had mice or rats in any of these apartments. We have had three mice in our owned home. Two times because we left the basement door open. I do not know how the third got in but it might have been the same thing. We've lived here since the 1980s and we're near a wooded area so I guess that's reasonable.

Look, there's not much to do besides reddit up here.

Ok now you’re just making up town names

If you can find it!!

Savoy, represent! Lol I grew up next-door, in Windsor. My dad says he got over 2 feet of snow!

For anyone wondering about Savoy, go visit the state forest. Its wonderful!! And spooooky!!!

I live in an old house (1850s) in a rural area, and we get mice in the walls all the time, usually in the winter. (Never in the actual living space, and never rats.)
