Maybe that is a good decorating idea for his room?

I don't think he cares anymore....But we could see if he's into it.

Sophia, is there someone you trust who can test drive for you? There are enough jerks out there that I would buy a car unseen.

Sophia, I don't know of anything that does that. Except maybe a credit union but I doubt they would deliver. If you tell our credit union what you want, they will do all the legwork and get the car for you, but I too wouldn't want a car SOMEONE I knew hadn't driven yet. (I am not a good person to test drive cars because I don't care that much).

I guess I'm packed again. Ugh! I'm already tired of traveling, and I haven't even started yet!

Mmm. The chili recipe wasn't bad. But I overspiced it.

I don't think I've ever followed the same recipe twice. I like it well enough, I lose it, I fake it when I make it on my own.

But I don't love it. I am still looking for that recipe.

I wonder what happens to the Game of Thrones wardrobe. I've seen that re-use tumblr. There can't be much not original among the leads. And it's all not standard enough for standard recycling.

Buying a car without driving it first seems like a really bad idea to me. Even if you know nothing about how cars work, you'll know if you feel comfortable in the car, if it has good visibility, and things like that.

Look for a car ...guy . we have a guy in our area - that will charge you 500 for a used car and the dealr pays if it is new. So you have to know what you want - but he can help you narrow thing s down.

I just wish I knew what to call him ...auto broker maybe?

I am so sorry, Sheryl and ita. And lots of migraine-go-away~ma to Suzi (there is always some going to ita, but apparently it's not very effective, for which I'm also so sorry).

Matilda Easter update: My dad took us to his golf club, which was having an Easter event for all the members' families. We got there just as the egg hunt was beginning, and oh was she jazzed about getting to do a second egg hunt in a single Easter. Jazzed, that is, until she saw the actual egg hunt, which was really an egg free-for-all, with eggs scattered all over the green in plain sight, with one roped-off section for toddlers and another for 6 and overs.

Matilda was having exactly none of it. She scoped it all out, turned her back, and said disdainfully, "How is that a hunt? The eggs are all just lying around where anyone can see them. THIS IS NOT A FUN EGG HUNT." Fortunately, there was also a petting zoo (baby goats!) and a pair of rescue ponies happily lippity-lopping around the little stand of trees where the deer come to graze at sunset, so she didn't have time to get seriously bent out of shape or weepy about it. But oh, her scorn was magnificent.

Her scorn was well-deserved.

Indeed it was.

Also: ita - I believe that all fruit is better w/o refrigeration.
