Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In

Forgive me for rushing to the end to ask some navigational advice.

This is the weekend that I pick up the new potential dog. Very exciting and a little nerve wracking.

Can someone advise me as to the best route between DC and Cranford NJ?

Google Maps suggests either the NJP & 95 or 95 & 295. They say it will take 4 hours when I thought it would be 3. Doable, but not awesome.

Laura, I can't even believe how frustrating that whole bank debacle must be. It says something pretty horrible about how screwed up the system is. I'm wishing you a massively 'junk yard dog' attorney who will kick the system's ass on your behalf.

bonny - woo hoo! I hope it goes well.

I am at work - but I think I'll leave early as I'm finding being here rather tiring. I guess that I forgot that the whole blood-loss thing would take a bit longer to get over.

I used to do NJTP & 95, bonny. I'd love to meet the potential pup with potential! I will be wishing good things for you.

Our wings are not tired.

Good luck, askye.

Phone ringing ~ma, Ginger. I really hope she is able to get something scheduled quickly.

Yay for potential pup!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

bonny, 295 is longer than the TP, but is often faster, or at least less stressful, because there's usually less traffic and less road work. That said, I usually took the TP anyway, unless it's rush hour. Expect the trip to take longer than you expect! Good luck with the new doggie!

Sparky, I would LOVE for you to meet him.

Will you and the sprout be around this weekend? At 6am, I dropped a friend at BWI, so I have a car for a week. If you aren't up for a Market stroll (though it's going to be gorgeous I hear) I could come up your way.

Zen, I would definitely opt for the less stressful on this trip. The pooch travels well, but I'd like to be prepared with a couple of places to stop along the way.

While I'm not a huge fan of the Turnpike rest area as a cultural phenomenon, they could be useful in this case.

I just don't know!

It just occurred to me that it has been more than a decade since I've driven the Jersey turnpike. How is that even possible.

How much cash should I expect to need for tolls round trip?

Is it just me or did someone think that bonny was going to get her dog using Myers-Briggs?

That's exactly what I thought!

Laura, I completely feel you. We almost lost the house (ex-fuckery, but still) and no, we weren't allowed to make payments for a while either. The whole thing is insane.

Oh my, I think I may have to settle into a bit of a daydream about the team righting this wrong for me.

Oh....my. *fans self a bit* I think that is a fantastic plan! But realistically, yes, hire yourself the biggest shark of a lawyer you can afford. And have him/her go for the 'nads.

Jilli! That's really fun and exciting! YAY! (And how cool would it be to have a Jilli doll?!)

hoping smonster's Treme experience is FUN!

bonny, I am so thrilled for you getting your new pup! Yay for you and this big and important step. Best of luck. And yo, pix!!!
