yeah, I think we'l go for the 50K of coverage. It is so cheap. I've been on the nag to Tom about this for ages. Had I been able to alter the policy, I would have months ago.

Darn Bill Gate and his "No one will ever need more than 64K of memory."

I think that's the right quote.

640K, but yeah.

Huh. The noise or music doesn't distract me. But, I'm probably using up brain cycles on other stuff like, "What's the speed limit in this neighborhood?" "Oh god, I hope this guy passes me so he doesn't get pissed I'm slowing down at every other street." "That sign said 'Glenbriar' I wonder if that's what she meant when she said 'Glenwood'" My head is so loud already, I think the music is just a drop in the bucket.

Because with the radio turned down, I can tune it out and concentrate on reading street signs.

What Jessica said. I ordiinarily need music when I'm driving, but when I'm lost it's one distraction too many.

I think the music is just a drop in the bucket.

And the seeming absurdity of turning down the music to search for a street sign strikes me every time I do it.

I'm getting my hair cut on Thursday. The cut that I just got didn't last, my hair is now too long to style it like I first did. I want short spiky hair again. I miss it. And several people have work commented on how it suited me.

So I'm trying out my cousin's stylist.

Rental insurance is insanely inexpensive considering how much money they'll give you if all your stuff gets stolen--it's worth it to have enough coverage.

And especially considering how screwed you are if you don't have it.

I had a friend in Atlanta whose house burned down the week after they moved in - electrical stuff, not their fault - but hadn't gotten coverage yet. Lost virtually everything. She went through this kind of insane period for about six months after where she would pimp it to everyone she met - writing Get Renters' Insurance! on the back of restaurant checks and such.

makes a note to get rental insurance when I move

Heather do you concentrate better in silence in other scenarios? Have you ever hushed anyone to stop them distracting you, or turned off the TV?

When she gets a little older, she's gonna go through a spin around and get dizzy phase.

We're supposed to grow out of this one?

I t heart Debet.

ETA: Regarding the seeing/hearing thing, it is essential for me due to the ADHD. I have a hard enough time filtering out extraneous noise without not being able to see the person I'm trying to hear. It's why I always sit towards the front of the room if I'm in a meeting or class where I need to pay attention.
