MickinMD ★ Posted April 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2018 My "important civic responsibility" is completed! My one day on a voir dire panel, where an old friend was the judge and two of my former students were also on the jury panel, was enough fun in court for the week! They paid me $15. I paid $9.50 for lunch and $6 for parking: down 50 cents not counting about 2 gallons of gasoline! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted April 19, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 19, 2018 I thought you drank a beer or rode a bike or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first bike ride in over a year is supposed to be this month, but I was advised to delay it until after my Apr. 26 root canal dental work and the new crown that will go on the same tooth, so I'm guess I won't ride until May.

Maybe the snow will be gone by then? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep a budget and my Gas & Electric bills for March usually dropped about in half for April (paid the following month). For 2017 going backward to 2014 were $268.76 and $141.65, $208.44(warm March) and $166.45, $262.65 and $159.47, $241.25 and $146.69. This year, March was an almost identical to 2017 $268.48 and April is sure to be a lot closer to it than last year's $141.65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted April 20, 2018 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2018 I used to do taxes for the guy who wrote this song. Sixty years later he was still raking in 90K a year, and this was his biggest hit. My advice to you is write a hit song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted April 20, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 20, 2018 Yay, congrats on having done your civic duty! We got paid $40 a day, plus mileage and they reimbursed parking. I ended up getting over $100 a day, but that did involve a 2 hour commute each way (if everything ran on time) and the train fare was about $40 a day.
