HOME SALES TAX

I thought you might find this interesting, -- maybe even SICKENING!

The
National Association of Realtors
is all over this and working to get it repealed, -- before it takes
effect. But, I am very pleased we aren't the
only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. How many realtors do you think will vote
Democratic in 2012?

Did
you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax
on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this
happen? It's in the health
care bill, -- and it goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it
be so that it doesn’t come
to light until after the 2012
elections? So, this is ‘change you can believe in’?

Under
the new health care bill all real
estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% sales tax.

If
you sell a $400,000 home, there
will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the
retiring generation, -- who often downsize
their homes. Does this make
your November, 2012 vote more important?

Oh,
you weren't aware that this was in the
ObamaCare bill? Guess
what; you aren't alone! There are more than a few members of Congress
that weren't aware of it either.

You
can check this out for yourself at:

I hope you forward this to
every single person in your address book.

VOTERS NEED TO KNOW.

Volunteering is a great way for kids to learn responsibility and the importance of helping others. Here are a few websites to help you and your child get started.

1) VolunteerMatch.org - This site features thousands of searchable volunteer opportunities for kids. They have onsite schedule and management tools as well!

2) KidsCare.org - I love the step-by-step guide to various service projects for kids and the abundance of additional resources.

3) TheVolunteerFamily.org - These folks specialize in matching your family with a volunteering opportunity or helps you create a custom, individual opportunity. This site covers the U.S.

4) FirstGiving.com - Here you can create an online fundraising page to raise money for any U.S. non-profit.

5) PajamaProgram.org - Offers kids ideas on how to help collect new pajamas and books for kids in need. there are also tools available to teachers and parents to help organize fundraisers, etc.

INTERIOR DECOR - THE ENTRYWAY SETS THE STAGE - KATONAH, 10536

The mood of a home unfolds at the threshold. A beautiful and inviting foyer or entryway, ushers visitors into the space and hints at the personal tastes, lifestyle and interests that await inside.

The artwork displayed in the entryway sets the stage for anyone who walks through the door, shaping their first impression of the home. Welcome them with well chosen furnishings. A single sculptural chair in an entry or hallway, stands out as both an art object and a gesture that visitors should stay for awhile. Other personal touches, including fresh flowers, a table sculpture, or an antique family photo can complete an artful arrangement and encourage conversation.

Not every entrance affords much room to play with. Narrow hallways are perfect for framed prints, paintings and mirrors, encouraging an intimate interaction between the viewer and the art. But, the entryway should always be free of clutter and obstructions. In the absence of closets, provide visitors and guests with shelving and hooks to hang coats, hats and umbrellas.

Whether decorating to stay or staging to sell, this high traffic area of the home demands a delicate balance of function and grace.
