Mal ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hey, I haven't posted about this in a while, but my plan of flossing during the day is still working. It's been about 2 1/2 months, and I've missed maybe 2 days.
I should've made it a New Year's resolution; that way I could say I actually kept one for once in my life.
I took my car to the shop this morning to fix some broken stuff, and see why it vibrates so much at idle. Motor mounts, it turns out. Low end to fix everything is looking like $1550, high end $2100. Not exactly unexpected, but also not really what I want to spend money on.
Like, ALL the motor mounts? Sheesh, that's a heck of an unexpected expense.
This whole going to work instead of gallivanting around Europe thing is for the birds.
I actually read all the posts since I last posted (I think it's kind of hilarious that I could keep up pretty well while on boats and planes and whatnot, but get me back home and I fall off the internet entirely for a while) but cannot brane. Which is bad for the thinking portions of my job, but oh well to that!
Reloading everything on a computer after the old one died or being bashed repeatedly with a hammer: which would you choose?
Once again, a new version of Windows has broken a complex chain of software upgrades. Anyone using the latest version of Word? Will it make me want to kill people?
1309 square feet definitely doesn't leave a lot of room for hosting
Lulz, my townhouse was 1200-ish sf with lots of space for entertaining, and I live in about 890sf now, which admittedly, has very little space for entertaining, but is pretty comfy for me, Tom, the cats, and the occasional visitor/houseguest.
A lot depends on the layout, I think. But 1300sf sounds quite spacious. Good luck, Jessica!
WS, yeah they are all worn and weak. Apparently a fairly common thing with ford focuses (foci?). Ok ended up at $1320 for now. Buying parts for 2 things for dad to do. Buying fluid and will have them fix another thing later, that will be another $200, so kept it in the lower range. Thankfully I have the money.
Hammer.
We're going to have to get you a giant hamster ball, aren't we?
Oh! We're currently considering for Ryan's birthday party (six!) an establishment called Inflatable World. It appears they have the giant hamster balls.
The house talk reminds me of Reasons I Love Australia, part 358: our house is 23 squares. It was one of the smaller plans the builder offered.
Australia is a video game, isn't it?
