Did I mention that some of the skull brads are pink?
Argh argh argh! Do not tempt me with pink skully things! I must save my money for custom clothing to wear to upcoming gothy-goth events!
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Well, you know that I've also always been a big fan of jumping at an opportunity.
I know this well.
Two years is a while to wait around. In that respect I've always been a pretty big risk taker though. I've moved on short notice and grabbed projects that were probably out of my league and then held on for dear life.
I'm going to put my resume out and see what happens. If something came my way I'd be stupid not to make the jump. The situation in 2 years will be there if I am at my current position or not. It's true that 2 years is a while to wait. That's the part that is driving me nuts!

I saw pink skully things and the mention of purple as well! Oriental Trading, why do you do this to me??? The urge to order is strong and I promised myself paying off the credit card from grad school is priority this year.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sad to hear about Renfro, but I can't say I'm surprised by the news.

Our wings are not tired
Anyway. All that is to say, how does it handle? How does it do for hauling gear? What do you actually find you get as far as mileage?
I have the FWD not the AWD version of the Escape, but I've been very happy with it. I purchased it to get the good gas mileage (I've gotten around 31 MPG on it for most of the time I've had it) and to have something big enough to haul gear in. The seats in the back fold down flat and I've had it fully loaded many many times. It's got about the same power as a V6 Escape, so it's decent acceleration and the handling and ride is pretty good as well. It's a touch on the noisy side at highway speeds, but nothing really all the horrible. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I don't want to drive an SUV if I don't have to and since I bought a half ton GMC about 6 months ago for my business I use that strictly for work and for any gear I need to move. The Escape has been replaced by a fun little 2005 Mercedes.

For my birthday, I'll throw them a birthday!
I wonder if we can get the little area where they have activities for a couple hours...
