So I went to this car dealership to test drive a unique car they had that I liked. I drove it, loved it, and sat down with the salesman to buy it.

I took out my checkbook to write a check for it, while the salesman is taking out a loan application. I said I won't need a loan, I'm paying cash.

Now comes the crazy part. He says, I have to take out a loan with them, for me to buy the car, it's company policy. I said, no I don't have to take out a loan, keep you car, that's my policy, and walked out!

(Apparently, they wanted to make a ton of $$$$ on their high interest loan)

That's insane. In the old days they'd give you a better deal for cash.

We financed my last car only because the rate was so low, 0.1% or something, my financial manager husband said he could make more money on the dollars leaving them in our account as opposed to paying out the cash. It's not always better to pay cash.

If we tell you, you have to share with aussie. OTC strips/trays work (even the dissolving ones) but you have to be consistent with them (and they leave my teeth sensitive for a couple days). I wouldn't bother with any of those brush on, 5 minute power swab types...waste of time/money.

I've had my teeth professionally whitened twice. The last time was much better than the first. I only had to sit there for about 10 minutes (as opposed to a grueling 30-40 before) and they sent me home with a brush on solution/tray to maintain it (and whatever solution is in that doesn't leave my teeth sore). Still if you drink coffee and tea like I do, you're always going to have to do quite a bit of maintenance (and/or make a return trip to the dentist).

CostCo. sells some home tooth whitening/laser system (at least it did recently). I almost bought it but came home and read about it first. It sucks; don't bother.

Thanks Queenie, thats the kind of info I am looking for. I drink a lot of coffee and tea and have not been to the dentist in years, thankfully I have good healthy teeth, all of them.
But I think I need to whiten them, so the search is on..

I will say constructively that I don't recommend whitening toothpaste. From what I hear it's not good for teeth.

I just discovered that all 123 episodes of The Rockford Files are on Nettlix.

Boner!!

Where's the dirt lady? I'm getting worried.,

[Duchess]

She traveled all Summer and was experiencing some difficulty with her new tablet. The last I talked her was during an effort to get her signed back into Mock. I haven't heard from her since.

[ramseycat]

At the airport. Yawn...

Fuckin code enforcement. They won't give me a permit to operate unless I install a sprinkler system in the studio, because its attached to the house.

What's cheaper, detaching the studio, or installing the sprinklers?

[Maggot]

Depending on how big the room is you may only need one and DIY may only come to about 80.00.

DUCHESS...STOP HERE!!



















I had to shit in a bucket this morning then scoop it in to 3 little jars and take it to the lab for testing. My stomach has been fucked up for months. I'm hoping they find some bug or something so they can treat it. They asked me if I had traveled and I actually got sick right after returning from Hawaii...not exactly a 3^rd world country but I could have picked something up.

In the meantime, I'm supposed to be trying a Lactose free diet. Yeah right. Like that was going to happen over Thanksgiving. Still, I haven't had a big piece of extra sharp cheddar cheese in at least a week.

I hope the people who open those bottles have access to gas masks.

Wow..

There goes my Clare Dunphy fantasy. Right out the fucking window. Clare would never do that.

Am I an open book or what??? No shame whatsoever.

On the plus side (and miraculously), my blood tests all came back perfect. Healthy kidneys, liver and no sign of Celiac's (not quite sure what that is but I know I don't want it).

Maybe they'll find worms in my poop.

[sally]

Not to steal User's sucky life thunder, but my liver ultrasound came back perfect. Go figure.

Now all I have to worry about is my bladder, it might be infested with worms too.

[crash]

Ramsey....? You've hacked user and Sally's accounts, haven't you?
