Car shopping is sucidoodles. Just saying. :banghead:

Oh my, it is painful. At least you seem to know a lot about cars. (I'm useless when it comes to cars.) I went with hubby when we bought our new (used) car a year ago, February. He's really good at cutting through the "pitch" they give you, and he just goes and looks under the hood, takes it for a test drive, etc. The price negotiating part is nerve-wracking, at best, particularly when you're putting in for an auto loan. I hope you find something you really like, at a fair price. Fingers crossed for you, buddy! ;)

I feel sorry for me. I'm just 600 miles away and it has been in the 20's all day. That is not right, that is not right at all. I feel the need to complain to the Chamber of Commerce. This is not what they implied while promoting the State.

Hey, buck up!! :p Your tough guy, hard winter persona has been slipping, since you moved away from Vermont. Twenty is a heat wave, pal ! ;)

I agree on the food channel. Unfortunately I am mostly busy drooling than actually putting attention on how to prepare the dishes ;)

I concur. I don't think I've ever used any recipes or techniques from the Food Channel, and I know I should. But, similar to yourself, I think I like watching chefs create their masterpieces, because somehow it relaxes me to watch. So I don't watch those shows for a "how to cook" reason; I watch for entertainment. :)

Well you would love my wedding photos before the ceremony at my folks house. My Mom decorated in the 70s so it was still hanging around. Lawn green **** carpeting, the biggest comfy chair just shy of crayon orange and a beige and tan embroidered couch. The dining chairs were covered in black vinyl. The television was set into a wooden table-ish cabinet with doors that closed like a kitchen cabinet. Oh yeah, the chair and the couch had heavy custom made clear plastic covers on them that zipped shut. Fortunately those covers were gone before my wedding.

When my Little Sis graduated college almost all of it went. Woot! The big comfy chair still remains though it went to be reupholstered. The 70's dining table resides in the basement. My kids play table as they grew up visiting Gran.

EDIT: I guess I have to go find out what the other meaning that word for that type of 70s carpeting is that it got replaced with asterisks. :(

EDIT: :eek: Boy, I can't keep up with slang in the US let alone the UK. :facepalm:

Oh, I had to laugh over the plastic, custom covers for the sofa! I knew a family that had those, and thought they were odd and felt weird to sit on (especially in the summer with no A/C--you'd sweat on those). But it just struck me as pathetic that the mother would only take those ugly things off for the holidays, or a special party during the year when "company" would arrive, etc. So essentially, they bought this furniture that wasn't really meant for using, just looking at, for 90% of the year?! :rolleyes:

3:30 am is sometimes my bed time. :geek:

How have you not had a cold in years? Lucky. I seem to get them every other week when I'm in school.

If the medication contained Sudafed, you have to buy it behind the pharmacy counter. It's because they use Sudafed to create meth, so they monitor how much you purchase it and limit how much you can get at once. Really inconvenient, but sudafed works like a charm.

Anything with Sudafed is good. My doctor also recommends Mucinex. But for some reason, the kind with sudafed in it makes me really dizzy, so I just take the Mucinex-D, which has no sudafed. I also like Robitussin cough medicine. There was one day my freshman semester that I was in Public Speaking and felt really, really bad. It was either cough through someone's speech or go do something about the cough, so I got up and left. I went to the campus store (which was a two minute walk from my classroom...small school) and found Robitussin cough and cold. That stuff was so worth it. Worked like a charm. I stopped coughing, my body stopped aching, and my congestion cleared right up. I keep it on hand for when I feel really bad, and no one else is allowed near it.:cautious:

Guess I've just been lucky and really not caught any illnesses for quite some time. Rather remarkable, when you think about that, because I work in a large hospital! :p Anyway, thank you for the medicine tips. You and @Gabe1 are a wealth of information, when it comes to over-the-counter preparations for common family illnesses. :)

You watch the Food Channel to see him admit it!

Don't they look like brothers? Maybe long lost brothers but nonetheless.
