Why do cities (and indeed, nations - ref: USA, now) think that charging fees to visitors for infrastructure improvement or maintenance is a good idea? It's the biggest disincentive out there.
* Locals who aren't assessed the tax or have other taxes raised (which would be politically unpopular), * Business-people with little flexibility (cheaper than a cab), * Tourists who don't know, * Tourists who don't care, * Those who respond to the information and change their purchase decisions as a result (including visiting the city). |

I call dibs. Babysitting fee for BL JR. I mean, how hard can it be. You give a kid a carton of smokes and a quart of vodka, and they're set for the night, right?
Remember this is a child, so you can't bring pictures that will mental harm her for life, like those from AMS and soon from PRG. |

Perfect for dips. Greek yogurt is thicker and makes awesome dips (ranch, spinach etc.). Fat free (or low fat) and much better than sour cream plus you get a nice dose of protein and calcium.

No such photos exist, or will exist. Also, FYI, cameras are banned for PRG DO. :-: |

You might change your mind after tonight. An author visited their school today and I had read up on him. He came to Houston from Cambodia via Thailand. She told me he was from China. After a huge shouting match, me showing her his website and then maps of Cambodia, Viet Nam, Thailand, Laos, Myamar and China, she still wouldn't relent. She then said he was born in Cambodia but lives in China. :rolleyes: I now know what my mother had to deal with for years. |

Disincentive for those with more information - given imperfect information, there's the following categories:
* Locals who aren't assessed the tax or have other taxes raised (which would be politically unpopular), * Business-people with little flexibility (cheaper than a cab), * Tourists who don't know, * Tourists who don't care, * Those who respond to the information and change their purchase decisions as a result (including visiting the city). |
Think the Box can make 100k before noon on Thursday? @:-)

She is anti smoking and will make anti smoking signs (did that for my cousin, you can imagine how thrilled she was :rolleyes: ). You'd be fine with the vodka though :p

Do you have to use question marks when posing a rhetorical question.
