Never hurts to explore all options.

Just curious about the leasing thing. Here's a question, since you've been studying it. What if you get in a wreck -- don't you have to get the car repaired to exact factory specs?

In other words, let's say you buy a car and you get in a wreck. Even with insurance, you may or may not receive a completely "good as new" repair, but because it's your own car, you can sort of pick and choose how much more you want (or don't want) to spend. You have the option to just let a few (less noticeable) things go here and there, but with a leased vehicle, you may not have that option--and are responsible to shell out the money for perfection, so to speak.

So, what I'm trying to say above is that the monthly leasing rate might be reasonable, but just exactly, what happens if you need a repair on a leased vehicle, during the (let's say, 3-year) leasing term?

I always thought leasing was good if you own a business because then you can write it off in your taxes. I can see why you would want to lease because the monthly payments are cheaper. I would think though that if you own, then at least you would have trade in value, where leasing gets you nothing and you sort of threw away your money.

People are so helpful.

Me: Do you know why the vendor is taxing us on this invoice when this is a service?
Coworker: Nope.

Frying pan time

Insane, isn't it?! Back in the day for me, it cost more than 25 cents a string, but prices are always higher up here in the North. But it wasn't anything outrageous, and probably something like 75 cents a string, at the lowest point that I can recall. And yes, it always included the shoes as well.

Heck, my parents were in bowling leagues years ago in our town, and they probably spent $25.00 for an entire season (probably a package deal for league players). They played with 6 other couples, and had two lanes reserved for them every week. (They did have their own bowling shoes, because they went so often.)

Heck my older ds' doesn't cost much more than double that now

Every 6 months? Ridiculous. I can see once a year. They barely even played any games.

Oooh. I guessed the answer before scrolling down.

Me too, it must have something to do with living with kids

Totally wrong. They always have this joke in Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. Why is 6 afraid of 7?
Because 7 8 9. Seven Ate nine.

Yeah, but it's yoda. It's just missing a comma.

Why is Yoda afraid of 7?

Because six, seven ate (because it's yoda)

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

So in this joke 7 actually ate 6. I get it.

What am I missing? We understood all of her other jokes. T and I were both stumped here.
