there would have been a few months where there were no carries in the Iran/Iraq region
Ah, this is where things get tricky. You have to remember we have carriers out of both the east and the west coast. There is always one out from each coast all the time. I'm guessing whoever is out of the west coast right now was intended to relieve the Enterprise (and probably still is), but the Ike was sent out early to give 2 ship coverage with whichever west coast carrier is currently deployed.
P-C, I was also going to suggest a money market account or something for your savings--anything to get a higher interest rate than a regular savings account while still giving you plenty of access to your money.

I've heard about that thing. I think my uncle used it too.
I have no problem with the concept of a zucchini latte, possibly because I love the zucchini bread so much. However, I will note that pumpkin is a sweeter/smoother taste than zucchini, so it is more probable as a latte. That said, I can't stand the pumpkin lattes, because they're way too frickin' sweet. If you took the pumpkin & yogurt bit from kaddo and made that into a drink, I'd totally drink that.
I love the image of attack Olivia. Sort of like Hobbes greeting Calvin at the door.
That's exactly where my mind went!
Thanks. I will admit that I'm partly in this position since my dad paid off the unsubsidized half of the loan a long time ago. And, like, I've thought about saving up money to pay him back, but...he doesn't care about that sort of thing.
On another topic, sort of, it occurs to me that maybe you can keep this in your back pocket, mentally, to take some of the sting out of all the gold earrings and such? Hope I'm not overstepping in suggesting that.
All this talk of pumpkin makes me want to go to Helmand's and get that pumpkin yougurty thingamabob.

Just started one of those!
I pack for Pittsburgh for a weekend on my own with my college friend. DH gets the kids all weekend and I get to drink wine and sleep late.
YAY!
Given all the talk about the Navy - Fleet Week is a known quantity, yes? It's known which ship will be at Fleet Week, etc.? Does that question make sense?
ING is free, has crazy excellent interest (4.4% for plain ole savings), is easy to transfer money in and out, also has CDs and IRAs that you can link to any accounts.
I am large with the ING love.

Yes, I believe so. You missed it when you were in Nashvegas.
