More 3/30 Expressions

In other news, my husband just informed me that just before he left our house (foreclosure), he had mail from the Tax Assessor's office.  They dropped the valuation $20K - we asked for a $50K reduction - closer to the price we paid.  So, we will be asking for an additional reduction - perhaps splitting the difference on the $30K and ask for an additional $15K reduction which will save us a pretty penny in property taxes in that state.  Oh, and I "won" a necklace on Listia - "real pearls and green crystals" - my two favorite combinations.
