Social oddities and Homestead exemptions

Some people are weird.
It's a fact. And I have accepted it.

Recently I have been thinking about what makes them odd and I have come to the conclusion that many times it is their social skills. People just have werid social skills....it's the way they interact with people, the things they say, the times they say them, and the way they communicate.

Now I realize, that the only way to calibrate the 'oddness' of people is to assume that I am not weird and therefore use that as a starting point. Now I know that I am not completley normal to some people. I talk fast, i talk a lot when I get nervous, I have this odd ability to read a map when I am on my own, but when my husband is driving I turn blonde, I will eat candy corn untill I am sick to my stomach and then eat more 10 min later....to name a few. (Please don't feel the need to point out any others:>) But I like to think that I am pretty normal so I can compare people to that.

Today, someones social weirdness helped me to save money! I closed on a house today. (yeah!!) But that is not what I am writing about. I happened to find out in an odd manner that we can apply for homestead exemption. All we have to do is fill out a sheet and we can save over $150 on real estate taxes each year. So.....we need to embrace peoples weirdness....it could end up saving you money.
