What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Maybe you priced it too low, P-C!

I know!! I'm half-kicking myself here. On the other hand, if I had priced it at $1950, these same people might have found it unreasonable. I guess there's no way to know, and, realistically, I hadn't expected to sell it for more than I paid two years ago. That's all I was hoping to get, and I think I should be able to get it with the number of people interested. That being said, I'll likely take whatever the woman I see on Saturday morning offers me since she's desperate to replace her car that just broke down. Unless one of the other people actually quotes me something that makes it worth my while to hold out for more cash.

It looks like my strategy of making my ad read more like a personals ad than a car ad paid off. Or people are just really jonesin' for cheap cars right now.

vw, I'm sorry you're having a crap work situation.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Damn, P-C. Now I kinda want to buy it.

G) I receive my first ticket in almost 10 years. Luckily, it's a warning on the speed (no charge) and a fix-it on the insurance.

In it could be worse news, my friend was pulled over two weeks ago for driving w/out insurance (they ran her plates, there was no other reason to pull her over). She actually had renewed her coverage the day before but the MD computers hadn't caught up and she hadn't printed out her new insurance card. The cops took her plates and she had to stay where she was, an hour from home, until our other friend could get there after going into pulled over friend's email, ppening the email renewal confirmation from Geico and printing the new insurance cards. And she still got a ticket and had to go back out to this town to schedule a court date. And she'll have to go back out for the court date in a couple of months. She's bringing an attorney just in case. So fucked up. She actually had insurance!!! And could have showed them on her email enabled phone but the cops were all "you could have faked that document in 'the Word'."

RIDIC!

Teppy is wise, vw, listen to her. Also, Sparky is so right about things not being your fault.

What they said, vw. ugh. sorry you are going through this!

I am feeling bloaty and ick and also woke up at 4:45AM due to cat shenanigans and never got back to sleep. UGH!

I'm about to lose my shit.

In an effort to make you smile, vw, this reminded me of my German friend. DW made a comment about someone losing his shit and cutiehead German friend said, "What does it mean 'losing his shit'?" Hee!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

so woke up at 4:45AM due to cat shenanigans and never got back to sleep.

We'd better ALL get a good night's sleep tonight. SERIOUSLY.

Thanks, you guys. I just sent an e-mail to my bosses, asking for a meeting. This should be interesting...

Heh. Too funny!

Last night, CBD was reading me the board to help me keep my sanity in the ER. It was so cute listening to him read the names. It was even cuter to be able to say, "Oh, lisah! You met her!" "Where?" "Baltimore!" "Oh, Trudy! You met her! In NYC." "Oh! Cashmere! You let me use your computer to have a video crochet lesson!"

He was like, "I have a hard enough time remember one person's name, now I have to know their board name too?!" It was really cute.

That is totally fucked. She should totally fight that; there's no reason for a ticket!

And could have showed them on her email enabled phone but the cops were all "you could have faked that document in 'the Word'."

Ha. Couldn't she have called Geico and told them to tell the nice police offer that she was insured?

Man, now I am totally printing out the temporary insurance card or whatever when I sign up. Although I don't have plates to run yet.

I am so ready to start my night of sleep right now. I might put the kids to bed at 7 just so I can go to sleep.

Totally unrelated, I would love to ask for some of the powerful Buffista~ma for my friend Kim and her two precious ones who just want to be born. Looks like they'll be born today. She's been in the hospital on bed rest since the beginning of the year. They were trying to hold out a few more weeks, but the babies are about 3.5 pounds each, so they're going to let her give birth. ~ma for Mama and the little ones would be so greatly appreciated. It's a boy and a girl.

She offered! The nice police officer was not very nice at all.

He was like, "I have a hard enough time remember one person's name, now I have to know their board name too?!"

ha! At least mine is easy!
