Why bother to label the buttons if they don't work?

It's just a timing thing, silly.

The things that bother me so.... So far today we've had 22 posts, but 298 'views'... Yesterday there were 21 posts, and 1285 'views'... who's doing the viewing and not posting?? And I don't think the "Bots" are the ones affecting this.

Strange. Yesterday I clicked on latest posts maybe 10 times. So I contributed.

I don't think that added to it, Moooogy. This is the # of views for just the Cafe each day.

I got my property tax bill in yesterday's mail, it's exactly the same amount as last year. That's never happened before.

Ours went up about $200 because the appraised value went up $31,000 (no idea how they come up with that)

I'd blame the palm tree and white rocks.

Me too, me too. I drop in a few (or more) times a day just to see what's cookin'.
If I don't have anything germaine to say, I just mosey on my way.
I guess I could leave some sort of evidence of my visit....

I must be in a multiverse. Giants are beating the Eagles.

Guilty…….
I actually was typing up a message, but then received an important phone call & never ended up getting back to my message to post. And I DO believe that happened over 200 times yesterday
Hopefully that solves the mystery Penny

I am guilty of one of those... I read the posts and then got distracted and never got back to reply to any of them.
I definitely wanted to get back to this one by SPH:

WHAT?! It came out as PIZZA!! Where do I get a microwave with this magic button???
But considering you next line, I assume it stayed as a potato..

As to the property tax discussion... we have a law setting a 2.5% increase limit, BUT that is for the total taxes collected by the town, not for each household. Ours have gone up at least twice that, each and every year.
I guess we are somehow subsidizing folks whose levy goes up substantially less.

Speaking of distracted..... yes, it still comes out as a potato.

Our property taxes actually went down $400 this year after going up more than $2,000 last year.

Property taxes? When was that implemented?
