Oh, Connie. Much ~ma to your sister.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Oh Connie, hope this is just a temporary setback for your sister.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My brain, let me show you it: following a link to some luggage (because I continue to try to decide what the perfect luggage is) to Lands End, I decide it is not perfect, but end up thinking "Wait, what's that other place?? The one that is not Land's End, but not J Crew? With the stuff??"
Can anyone guess where my brain was trying to go? (I eventually figured it out)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
LL Bean?

Ding! Yes. LL Bean was it. It took me a while to get to there in my brain though. I almost had to come here and ask (good to know someone could have helped!)
They do not have the perfect luggage for me, though. As far as I can tell.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I always confuse LL Bean and Land's End. I end up visiting both websites.

The status is NOT quo.
Drew and I are madly in love with our Eagle Creek Hovercraft bags, but they aren't cheap. Last forever, though, and SO friggin' lightweight.

Oh, Connie, that sucks. I hope things take a turn for the better.
I've been struggling with the car thing. CarMax has some good cars that are the kind I want and in my price range. Mostly, for some reason, they're in Milwaukee, so I may have my sister go test drive. But the Evanston place has some newer ones that are VW certifed (so you get 2 yrs/24k warranty) for a couple of grand more so I'm pretty strongly leaning that direction.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Hil, we've been looking at a lot of cars - and so many of the new ones have tiny windows and are just hard to see out of . You might want to look at the Honda Fit, as well -- small , tons of space for stuff , and lots of windows.
