Long Island Coastal Homes

I work in Queens, no Union dues. Don’t think I should pay City tax because I live on L.I., right?
2 deductions, no health benefits, work in Queens, but I shouldn’t be paying City taxes, right? Boss doesn’t indicate on paycheck what he’s taking out in taxes.

really no way to answer that…it depends on taxes taken out, how many deductions, how many dependents, how much medical insurance costs…

This is an invaluable guide……for those of you that venture to darkest Essex

Whoever it was that compiled the list has an excellent ear. It is the finest phonetic transcription of cockney that I have ever seen.
"Essex man" with his "estuary English" is a fruit that has not fallen far from his London-rooted tree.

If you are willing to open your home and give your love to a dog that would otherwise face sure death, please consider fostering for my rescue group located in Nassau County (border of suffolk). All expenses paid for. Just need your commitment to care for the dog until a permanet home can be found. Most of these guys need repair in some way or form. Some medically, some need behavior training (we have trainers staffed). We need you if you have the time to follow through on the training program provided and be consistant. Each dog has a very sad story to tell and you can save lives, won’t you commit to being a foster. We need you! lasme8@yahoo.com

i live in NJ (Westfield) what kind of dog is it. i have another dog and i don’t want her to get hurt
