You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Maybe you should go for the vinyl blinds instead of the SOLID PLATINUM ones.

Now tagless for your comfort.

msbelle, a friend of mine in Columbus lamented about the cost of blinds for their new house. I think they ended up spending close to $5K--it was a big house but they weren't fancy blinds or anything. I replaced two of ours recently and it was over $150. I'm dreading the replacements needed for the kids' rooms.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not a good time to be a young adult with no college education.

$5K

That's how much we spent on our last car.

Ugh. I have to grind out these liner notes in the next hour and a half.

The fact that they like to call them Window Treatments tells you all you need to know.

I think mine averaged out to $100/window.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That hockey water usage graph was hilarious! I love the little bump after the win where most people were celebrating but a few who had been holding it all game rushed off to the bathroom before the medal ceremony.
 
In today`s news about stuff Most People probably already know how to do but I`m proud of myself about: I changed our van`s headlight today. We got pulled over last rehearsal and given a repair order. (we were lucky; turns out the SO has a vision restriction on his license and wasn`t wearing his glasses, a $600 arrestable offense, but they let that slide.) Anyway, I did it, yay, so now we can get the thing signed off on.

Congratulations on the headlight changing. That's one of those things that goes all the way from trivial to downright challenging depending on the vehicle.
