Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

Just found out that Mr. wore Black's car is now junk. Gaskets are shot. The last thing we need is another car payment.

My recommendation (these are always good):
You said earlier that you have something like a year left on your current car payments, and yeah, it sucks to have 2 different car payments. So, buy a cheap, old, but reliable car, with the expectation that you'll drive it for about year, until your current payments are done, then go out and look for a new one at that time. If you buy an older 4-banger jap car, the thing will suck, but they generally run forever, and you'll probably get just as much out of it in a year as you pay for it now.

Afternoon Lodge.

Rough night last night. Woke with a splitting headache at 1:30 AM (nope, no alcohol involved unfortunately). Turned off the alarm and forgot about an appointment for 7:30 AM. :o

That is what we are thinking. I called up my cousin, who works at a big dealer ship chain here in the Twin Cities, to help us get a deal. We found one car, but it is a stick. Watching me try to drive it would be hilarious. I always skip 3rd gear from some reason.

Speaking of which, I have some peppered bacon at home to fry up tonight.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #155: Back to School

If bacon and math are discussed together in any way,any math talk is by default non-existant.

Good solid thought there. A little TLC and they can run for forever it seems.

heartbreaking news:

An overturned semi has spilled 40,000 tons of Bacon on I74 outside Peoria, IL.

Bacon!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

I call bull****. Semis can only be 80,000lbs without needed special permitting. 40,000 tons is 80,000,000lbs. :p

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. Maybe hockeyplayer could load that much on his boat, but not on a semi.


grrrrrrr..... got a long break here. Had my number one client on the schedule today at 4:15, but it looks like there was a mix up with the new front desk guy and she said that she wanted to reschedule it for later on this week. They didn't figure it out until about 4:30 here. :mad: Kicker is that if it wasn't for her on my schedule today, I would have been very tempted to call in yesterday, and see if I could have gotten somebody else to cover for me today, just to finish recovering from that bug that I had yesterday. Feeling a hell of a lot better now, no chills, just not as much energy today. At least the front desk here should be paying me for the little screw-up today. :D

Any professors reading this: consider teaching Differential Baconquations. Macrobaconomics would also be acceptable.

LwB, most recent American small cars are pretty reliable too, if you happen to find a Neon or Cavalier. Good luck either way though, sucky thing to have happen. I'll let you know if I see anything cheap!


Afternoon, Lodge. I must be the good boyfriend, because I spent a good portion of my day off helping my girlfriend clean her car. :p Oh well - she said she'd go in on a batch of the White House Honey Ale for my next batch of beer :D

Thanks!

I am just upset that I am asking people that I know to help us out, and Mr. wore Black is complaining about adding more debt. Do I see him making a few calls and talking to people? It is absolutely frustrating. I just don't know what to do. He says that we can function with 1 car. I work in Eagan, and he works in Hopkins, and we work way different hours. Public transportation is not in either one of our favors. I can't keep ask my co-workers for a ride home as it is out of their way. I am at the point of meltdown. [/rant]

The answer is simple. You tell him he is free to survive with the one car- You will drive him where ever it works out for you and he can get to work however and you can pick him up after he gets out..... I am with bb_dl- get a clunker or see if anyone in the family has a clunker that will last a little longer that you can take off their hands.
