Florida's back-to-school tax holiday started Friday, and shoppers should prepare for a mad dash, especially today...the LAST DAY of tax free shopping!

Instead of a tax-free week that Florida has had in some past years, this year shoppers only had three days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Generally speaking, school supplies and clothing are tax free, with some very specific rules in effect.

Clothing: Items $75 or less are tax free. By state law, that includes things like shirts, jackets, pants, footwear, shoes, fanny packs, lingerie and purses. But, items like football pads, in-line skates and watches are taxable.

School Supplies: Items $15 or less are tax free, generally. This includes pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, notepaper, notebooks, scissors, glue and calculators among other items. HOWEVER, computer paper, masking tape and staplers are taxable.

Books: Books are not tax free during the holiday.

Internet: Items bought over the Internet are tax free if purchased during the holiday period and the retailer is set up to honor the tax-free holiday.

Shipping costs are included in an item's price, so a $75 top with a $5 shipping fee makes the entire purchase taxable

Disney: Don't forget...ANY item bought at a theme park or hotel is taxable!!

Like MANY of you....I am still in SHOCK over the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial!

What makes me SICK, is the fact that the defense team was celebrating in plain view of the media, and has little or NO concern that this was a MURDER trial! Did everyone forget the fact that a BEAUTIFUL little girl is DEAD? We will never REALLY know what happened!

A petition has been started to create Caylee's Law. The purpose of the law is to make it a felony if a missing child is not reported within 24 hours.

Please join me in a crusade of justice, in Caylee's Honor, so that this will never happen to another child again!

PLEASE make sure your PORCH LIGHTS are ON tonight....for Caylee!

YEP, you read it right! Casey Anthony was found NOT GUILTY by the jury today!!!

The CRAPTASTIC Casey Anthoy trial jury found her NOT guilty....on ALL of the MAJOR counts.

Apparently the only thing she is GUILTY of...is providing false information to a law enforcement officer.

My jaw hit the floor, and my heart is BREAKING for Caylee!!!! I can't believe such an injustice has been done!
