I'm tivoing, so may be able to burn discs if I can figure it out
Ooo! I'm missing that due to pack/move/stress/aarrggh'ing. Can you burn a copy for me?
Now I've got to figure out whether it would make more sense to buy the car in NJ or DC and drive it down, or to buy it in Georgia
I think the biggest factor would be the tax difference. If it's more in DC, is the difference less than what ever other mode of transportation you would take to get to GA. I think the other question is, long ago, they used to say "don't drive the car over 45 mph for the first 1,000 miles (dunno if those numbers are right, but you get the idea). If that is still the case, then that would be another vote for buying in GA.
IOmeN- progress is being made here in the land of packing. There are still piles of mess everywhere, and it's times like this that I believe I have mild ADD, as it seems I start on one task, walk into the other room, then see something, and work on that, then bring something to the other room, and pick up on another task... rather than just doing one thing until it's done. But then again, my stuff is kinda scattered everywhere, soooo, kinda needed to make sure I at least pack everything with its kind.

I think, depending on the car, that sort of advice is going the way of the dodo birds. Frex, when I bought the BMW, I had to laugh because the "break-in period" specified that the car shouldn't be driven at high speeds, so not to exceed 100mph for the first 500 miles. (SNORT- German engineering for you.)
With the car I just bought (Acura), the only specifications they've made with respect to a break in period is to not floor it, acceleration-wise, to not stomp on the brakes, and to not tow anything for the first six hundred miles. Nothing about a speed restriction.
Good to know. I have yet to buy a new car, so didn't know if that was still the situation.
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!
Uh, I was told I was hysterical and should do stand-up comedy. So I've got that going for me.
my current good news is that i haven't yet beek flunked out of dispatch training (yay!) and sucessfully built myself a raised veggie bed.
Oh, and my advisor's comment when he saw me walking with a cane was, "You're looking old." (The only other comments I've gotten, other than "What happened?" were "You need to get a top hat and sing 'Hello, my baby, hello, my darling...'" and "We're going to have to get you a pimp hat to go with that.")
You could totally pull off a pimp hat, Hil.
Just think, in a few months, your advisor will be one of those people you used to know that you don't have to deal with anymore.
Oh, and my advisor's comment when he saw me walking with a cane was, "You're looking old."
Okay, I've long suspected it, but this just confirms that your advisor is stupid. Seriously? Saying something like that to someone wielding a cane?
I'da taken his knees out.
But then, I've been told I have violent tendencies.
Oh, and my advisor's comment when he saw me walking with a cane was, "You're looking old."
This guy sounds like a fantasy of a dick, of a jerk of a fever dream. How does he exist in nature?
Someday Hil's advisor should get what he deserves, but only after Hil's PHD is awarded her.
And in terms of this:
I'll bet Georgia would like to erase Deliverance the way Glenn Close would probably like people to just forget about her character in Fatal Attraction.
Sharon McCrumb wrote a character who set Emily Dickinson poetry to banjo music to scare tourists. I'll someone with the right look and banjo skills could pull that off.
