Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Got up early to take Amarna to the vet for her claw-trimming. She bitched me out the whole way there, bitched out the vet tech during said trimming, and then bitched me out the whole way home. The only time she shut up was when she realized the vet tech hadn't closed the carrier door too securely and she thought she could bolt out in mid-transport. Unfortunately for her, I heard the door click and saw that the bottom wasn't fitted properly and caught it before she could ram it open with her head. Then, she bitched me out the rest of the way up the elevator and down the hall to my apartment.

She then proceeded to her food dish and inhaled some kibble and only then deigned to rub her head on my leg just now.

Oh, well, as least she won't be catching everything with her overly-long claws for a few months.

Stepanie, I'm around, but my math is rusty. However, I have paper and pencil and calculator handy....

Well, this seems like it should be easy, but I can't figure it out:

I took out a car loan for 33,195 (interest rate 4.94%) for 60 months with the first payment made in April, 2005. I'm trying to figure out how much I owe now.

(The easy thing would be to call the finance company but we have moved so many times that we don't get statements anymore and I can't seem to get logged onto their system...again because we've moved, I think)

eta: You'd think I could find this on the internet but none of the calculators seem to answer my question

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well mac has been attacked by a snot monster, he slept poorly last night and so I decided no Karate today. fat chance of me getting him to take a nap though. He was up at 6:30 and I only just got up, so he's already had almost 4 hours of tv/video games.

after breakfast I think we'll head to the vet for cat food and then swing by the pharmacy for some de-snotting kid medicine. Then maybe fast food for lunch and if the medicine is having any affect maybe see if anyone is at the playground since it is supposed to get up to 45 or something.

I am useless when it comes to figuring interest on loans, I'm sorry to say. Teachable, probably... but as of right now, useless. Sorry!

Off to work. Blergh.

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

According to [link] your principal is now $8,492.71.
