I usually Use Me.PropertyName within the class. It makes it more self 
documenting and easier for me to understand when I come back to it 
later.

Is it bad practice to reference the actual variables? For some it may 
be, but I see no obvious harm in it.

I use the properties, just in case down the road I change the logic 
in the Let/Get, then I only have to change the code in one spot and 
not all over the place.

Stirring thing up is a hobby of mine :-))
