It is with deep regret that we must inform you of the passing of Michael Jackson, the Beer Hunter, who died this morning at his home in London, UK.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Today I have contractors blowing insulation into my walls,
They were doing this on This Old House last night! Well, sometime in the past, it was a rerun.
I love TOH.

Gosh, I'm glad I'm not as old as you guys.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, I already knew that a famous Michael Jackson (but not the Michael Jackson) had died. But on reading this, I went to a Bob and Doug Mckenzie place....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We actually wanted to go with the 15 year, but then our banker pointed out that if we were worried about making the payments, we should go with the longer loan that doesn't have a prepayment penalty. We can pay it off as if it were a 15 year loan, but if we got into trouble along the way, we could always drop back to the 30 year payments.
We paid off our car loan (my only car, ever) well in advance so I know we have the discipline to pay ahead.

Liese, that's what my parents did with their current house. It's paid off now, which is still startling to me for no rational reason.
OMG, people, this day has been so crazy and it's just going to get crazier.

By keeping your car for 15 years, or 225,000 miles of driving
Cue hysterical laughter from me. I'm just hoping my car is still in running order when I finish paying off the 5-year loan, at which point it will most likely have 200,000+ miles on it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And if paying it like a 15-year turns out to be too much, even a little something extra each month makes a huge difference in the end -- the extra 100 bucks we don't even feel makes our 30-year mortgage a 22-year mortgage.

That didn't ping me because the last car I had blew up at 13 years and 205K and blew up due to a bad oil change and me driving in DC traffic with no oil cap, not usual wear and tear.
I'm going to be doing 2.5 to 3 jobs in the next coming weeks. falls down
