I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have a pack of steroids, and as of this morning, a substantially lessened migraine. WOOOT.

Of course, I have a bit of a headache from the crappy sleep I got because of the steroids, but I'll take it.

Less right on. But at least the migraine is backing off.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have a Ford Focus right now, but M wants to get a vehicle that will be more comfortable for him on long road trips, which he thinks will be our family's primary mode of vacationing. Finding an affordable vehicle that is safe, comfortable for a large dude, and still easy to park on hills (and weasel into tiny spots) is proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Subaru?

Subarus are definitely in the running, but they tend to be almost 16 feet long, and the Focus is just under 14 1/2. That foot and a half matters when circling North Beach, looking for a long enough parking spot.

I forgot to say - yay Dana on the lessening of the migraine! May that continue.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I have no car. Actually, since I've lived in the city since graduating from college, I've never owned a car. Sometimes I wish I did but, considering the parking situation in my neighborhood, it's probably just as well.

Dana, glad to hear the migraine's easing up.

Jesse, you might try getting some small makeup bags and using those in place of pockets. I've done that; if you get them in different colors, it's easier to lay your hands on what you specifically want (plus, since I usually buy black bags, I find that a light colored bag makes it easier to see in the depths of the purse).

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

Dana, glad the migraine's easing up!

juliana, what about a Honda Fit?

I overslept and now I feel rushed. It isn't worth it.

I have a '96 Jeep Cherokee with 208,000 miles, the first owner didn't drive it much over the 10 years he owned it. I don't have a new purse.

I did have crappy sleep, thanks hot flash at 5 AM when the alarm goes off at 7.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure my friend with the Fit used it for long-ish road trips with at least one dog and one kid. I don't think it works anymore with two dogs and two kids.

Yeah, I think actually my main need is a business card holder, oddly (for business cards and loyalty cards and gift cards and etc.). So that's easy enough to buy!
