Jessica, I had wondered but didn't want to ask/pry. I can't believe they just let it sit there! I'm glad you got it and I hope it recovers.

So, immediately upon our car distaster (which involved a horrible noise) the children started planning what new car we should get. Casper wants a Mustang. Dillo wants a Ferrari.
I'd LOVE to get a Prius - all our driving is in-town stop and go - but mr. flea doesn't really fit in the 2009-earlier models. He does fit in the 2010, but we can't afford one.
Has anybody looked at the Ford Fusion hybrid? (Our current, probably dead car is a 2000 Ford Focus, which if it needs a new engine is probably not worth it to repair for us. And we said never a Ford again after this car, but mr. flea seems to like the Fusion.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I sat in a 2009 Ford Fusion hybrid at a car show here last Spring and liked it a lot, but I haven't driven one yet, sorry, nor talked with someone who has.
My uncle's Ford Escape hybrid made a good impression on our trip to Yellowstone two summers ago.

msbelle, your place looks huge! I'm sure it's the lenses and the decluttering and the paint.
I was reading that Lech Walesa and another Polish official were calling the area cursed. Since it's now the location of two huge tragedies for Poles.
I got almost no sleep last night, between my damn cats and the wind rattling my windows. I just tried to nap, but nada.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm making dinner and need to get my apartment together for a friend to come over tonight. Too bad I planned the menu when it was hot out, so it's all cold food, and now it's 50 degrees, but oh well.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Today I gotta work out, go to Songkran for some mango sticky rice, fix a dresser with some l-brackets, and go to bed early for a 10K tomorrow. None of this has started yet, although the cats have gotten busy chattering at a bird that seems to be taking up residence on the roof.

mango sticky rice
Guh. WANT. We're still feeding the dog rice for his tummy, and we ran out of cheap rice last night, so we made him Jasmine rice. I ate some of it, and it immediately sparked a craving for mango sticky rice. I might have to go get some from the cheap-but-excellent Thai place.

It's Bob's favorite thing, but our Thai place won't make it until mangos are in season.

I've never had mango sticky rice, and I'm pretty sure it's not on the menu at any of the Thai restaurants in town. But I love mango and sticky rice and I'm sure I would love them together.

and I'm pretty sure it's not on the menu at any of the Thai restaurants in town.
If they had mango in season and there was any kind of mango items on the menu, I bet they'd make it for you.
