Julie,
There are a lot, a lot, a lot, of scammers on Craigslist. If it sounds sketchy, it probably is. [link]
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Don't forget that unless you're anonymizing your email (i.e. [www.anonymizer.com] , amongst others) the email headers probably carry your IP address, which (depending on your ISP) can lead someone to the neighborhood you live in

My mom's condo has a stacked washer-dryer unit that's small capacity but does a good and swift enough job. I'll ask her what brand/model it is. All the units in her "independent living community" have them, so I assume the Erickson management is well satisfied with their performance, since they do all the living area repairs (and pretty quickly, too).
Matt, I'm now seriously worried about your company -- postponing the payroll probably means that payables are screwed up, as in clients aren't paying on time -- the slow economic avalanche is still happening. The stimulus can't start soon enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, slow-paying is a huge problem for everyone. Ugh.
I am already so tired, I'm considering taking off Monday. I woke up this morning at regular-work time (unnecessarily), but tomorrow I have to wake up then too!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gonna try to sell some books to the local used book shop today.

I'm in class, and it looks like the first thing I tried in the complicated program that's due, worked! That is very encouraging for the rest of what I have to get working today.

Today's karate is featuring special guest mac's uncle. He is watching inside the karate romm (which I have been asked not to do except for tests). I am feeling almost normal and the throat is only a little sore on one side. Yay! Still 7 days left on the antibiotics.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have Kenmore (Sears) front load washer and dryer. [link] In our old place they were stacked, and now we have them side-by-side. They work great and we got rebates from the city for buying efficient units.

Looks like I am going washing machine shopping! I talked to a repair guy this morning and the transmission is gone. He said it would be minimum $200-250 to repair if it's only the transmission, but he wouldn't know for sure until he took the machine apart. I also looked up the average lifespan of a washing machine, and it seems to be from 7-13 years. Mines' at least 12, probably older.
I did find this neat PDF doc that tells you the expected lifespan of everything in your house.:
