December 12

Today was a work period to work on our budgeting booklet Mr. Maks has assigned for us. Today he taught us how to calculate annual property tax and annual home insurance is order to answer some of the questions.

Here is how to calculate property tax along with an example:

You multiply the value by how many mills then divide that by 1000.

eg: The home is assessed for property tax purposes at $30,000, the mill rate is 61 mills.
$30,000 x 61/1000= $1830

Here is annual home insurance along with an example:

You divide the value by 100 then multiply that by the cost per $100.

eg: Home insurance based on a home value of $50,000 at a cost of $0.62 per $100.
$50,000/100 x 0.62= $310

As a class, we also discussed the fact that facebook has been blocked in our school and how upset people are. Many classmates had person opinions about this subject and many were upset.Many caim that it is a important communication device that is a very important and useful tool in their everyday life. There is some talk that the facebook homepage will be unblocked and as of now, everyone is hopeful.

Tomorrow the scriber is "Patzer."

FACEBOOK IS BLOCKED!!!!!! but that still hasen't stopped people from going on it. It's just like hotmail or IM. The main address is blocked but, there are still ways of getting on to it. Toooo bad.

I deactivated my account two days ago... man I'm happy...

I am upset semba08. Facebook is awesome. In my opinion, they're wasting their time blocking the main address because yes, there are other ways of getting on.
>> you should be ashamed of deactivating your account semba08! haha jk

Truthfully, I'm a bit paranoid of Facebook for reasons I don't exactly wish to disclose.

I've been messing around here for a while. It seems that the blocking of websites has become sophisticated over night.
