Still too rich for my budget, I'm afraid. The last FF plugin remaining on my wish list is Pro-DS, but even with the summer sale and referral credits it'd still cost me $91. A good deal, for sure - but it's also 10% of next month's health insurance premium, which I have only two weeks to scrape together.

Geehosaphat Bit!!  That premium sounds dang high.  Is it cause you're self employed?  Have you tried the ACA exhanges??

Self-employment, man. I've spent over $6,000 so far this year on health care, even without any back surgery. There's also self-employment tax. Here in Washington State we've also got the Business and Occupation tax ($900 a year), high property taxes ($500 a month), sales tax that adds 9.5% to every tube of toothpaste (or 5 grand to a nice car). We pay to use parks. You can't even fish for your food, that costs more than a fish dinner at a restaurant, and you can only take home two fish anyway.
 
Some of it's the price of not having a boss, an office or a commute. Some of it's the price of living in a desirable corner of the world (no snow, no hurricanes, no tornadoes, even thunderstorms are rare; no poisonous critters, clean air, lots of water and trees, and legal pot).

Ouch! Those property taxes are killer, even compared to us Californians.

Washington is a gorgeous state, but that's a big price to pay!

You're just not paying your fair share? Just ask anyone in the current administration? How much should you pay? "More..."  Oh BTW? You have a volcano or two?  (ring of fire?)
 
People in your state voted for "this?" So? You're welcome... Perhaps you should be part of the solution?

Washington isn't completely blue - and California even less, in spite of how the media paints the states on election night.

It's all fun and games until a volcano blows... Lahars? Seattle is dead in the cross hairs... I hope it does not happen? But it has in the past, and that means it will in the future.
 
Not to mention the megathrust quake waiting off the coast? I hope it's another 50,000 years out... But it comes? Maybe this year? Maybe next? But it comes...

Better than a tornado or gators in the yard.
