That sounds about right Justin! Are you going to buy a new car? My car is about 5 miles away from dying on me.
I decided... its best to buy a car from the country that you're in. No ifs, ands or butts. Just too problematic to have to deal with it otherwise. Now, oriental cars are not necessarily the case here... there are so many places that work on them because there are so many they fit into the same group. So the only cars I'm really referring to are European, Ruskie, and ummm, any other podunk car producer that might be out there.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
Haha, pepper in the coolant huh? Yeah, its the same as leaking radiator fluid... though the VWs cooling system is slightly different. Either way, really inconvenient. I need to go pick up an old truck or something that'll last forever with a little TLC.
Well, I cant afford to buy a new car. I'd just have to sell the Passat to a dealership and then pick up an oldie.
you gonna pick one up in Kansas?

Ah, Moody... its a good school, still applies thoughKnew some kids in Chicago that were part of my "College and Career" group at church that went there. Good kids.
Probably cheaper in Kansas... but in the same way I probably couldnt get as much for my car here. So it'd even out. I dont know if my car can make it back to Chicago, if not then I'd just have to sell it here and get a rental. Once I get to Chicago we have plenty of cars to use. I'd still need to have one though... unless my family wanted to give me their old WindstarMight have to
Unless they already gave it away.
I'd push for the old Windstar!!![]()

I guess I'll find out what she's like when we meet. Haven't seen or spoken for 4 years

Yeah, and I could put that cash back into my mutuals. Problem is, the Windstar has a half steel half aluminum block, which causes trouble because expansion rates vary and over time it destroys the heads or something. I dont know cars, just remember my family narrowly missing the recall. Still it took 100k + miles to get nasty... might work if I'm really gentle with her.
My family gets here later today, guess I'll push for that. In which case, I should try and get my car back to Chicago because I'll get more cash for it there.
Mmmm...

Yeah, make sure and give your wife lots of hand holding, glances, and kisses when you can during the encounter. She'll appreciate it
I took Jenny to meet one of my ex's parents when she was here. Didnt mean to, and actually tried not too... but saw them at church and they invited us over.
for her mother

I'm trying to set it up so it's not Just Lisa, me and her. Invite some mutual friends to see them too. Be fun for me since I haven't seen them for years and hopefully be less ackward for Lisa and Trudy

It went pretty well... but it wasnt something that I'd wanted to do to either Jenny or the ex's parents. The Mom was having a hard time accepting the fact that I'd never be in their family. So in reality it might have helped her get over that.
Well I guess that's good. I miss Trudy's family, we went through a lot together. How long were you with that particular ex?

Jenny is the one I spend the most on. Priorities change. So my Mom gets the $20 giftWhen I was in the military I'd spend $100 or $150 on my siblings without breaking a sweat... now I'm in college.
yeah, this year we tried to keep it $50 all the way around. But when lisa goes out by herself for her mom, I know what's going to happen!![]()

I couldnt see spending that much on my Mom. I'd rather just buy her a couple small things because she is the one that does the stockings and the big gifts still (well, her and my dad) and keeps our Christmas going.
This year its kinda spread out though... my sister and her husband are goig to be in Maryland, my brothers in Baghdad, and we're all in Kansas with his wife and their brand new little baby!![]()
but I should also just get 30 more posts
