Car~ma for Mac. It could be just his lack of experience with a variety of cars. They handle quite differently and can feel odd.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Toddson, that is complete bullshit.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That’s ridiculous, Toddson. They should be giving you back payments, not cutting your current one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Utterly infuriating, Toddson. They owe you infinitely more, and either they know it and they're assholes or they don't and they're a pack of hopeless idiots.

Have fun storming the castle, shrift! Also, I'm curious to know how Sonic works out. I've been vaguely looking at Sonic or Monkeybrain (or Ting, if they launch in SF as they've been vaguely promising for a couple of years) as alternatives to the hellscape of Comcast once we become homeowners.

I’d think if they give you less than other people and it’s not enough for your commuting costs, that would be age discrimination. DC has pretty strict laws. You might point that out to them, that they wouldn’t want to be at risk of discriminating like that. Of course they wouldn’t.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thanks for your support ... I'm hoping I can keep what I've been getting, but I need to hang on here, and making any kind of fuss (including an age discrimination suit) would be damaging to me. So far, I haven't had the monthly credit added to my card, but it's only the first, so I'll see if it comes through.

How much longer do you have to stick it out before retirement?

I'm 69 so, in theory, I could retire in a year.

I thought you were close to my age. I'm hanging on until 70 as well, but since I work for myself my benefits are pretty flexible.

Punishingly Intricate

That's infuriating, Toddson.
