The way a cars value goes down the minute you drive it off the lot (as they say), I would think that your car would be worth somethingmy car is not eligible for the cash for clunkers program. Surprisingly, neither is my dad's. I thought for sure his would be since it's an old piece of junk but I guess 1995 isn't old enough. I've had my eye on a few cars lately, one is something my friend recently got and after driving it I love it, so I started to do some pricing. With what my car would be worth to trade in I'd still have a pretty high payment. I actually would never trade in a car since you can get more by selling it on your own but even the amount I think I could get would still not be enough to get my monthly payment down to an amount I can afford...when I have a job of course. Still not thrilled with the offer from the other day at the little bakery......anyways I wasn't sure what the cash for clunkers program was other than my sister's boyfriend's brother already did his homework a few weeks ago to find out he qualified and picked out his new car that he's buying next week. So I decided to look tonight and I guess a 7 year old car isn't old enough. It's certainly old enough in my book! I need to win the lottery so I can buy a new car, travel to Europe, and find a cute little house in St Paul.
Tradition dictates that Mr. Favre will be unable to make up his mind until half the training camp is over or until it is over completely..............then he will just step in andthrow interceptions, play
N is running late ~ however, in the chat I asked her if she would like to stay for the night time airshow.............yes, Germanfest has their own mini airshow and fireworks Whole day at the lakefront
Yeah, it's not a good thing to get stuck with a too high car payment.
I know this from current experience
my car is paid off but it was $300 a month when I had payments My car before that was only $200 because I had a $3000 to put down but I leased that so I didn't have anything to trade in. So...I'll just have to save my pennies.
It's $351 for the Corolla now. The Neon was much cheaper, I don't remember how much. I kept that for 8 or 9 years but I was afraid it was going to go klabooey! one day, so I thought I'd better get a more reliable brand after the Neon's extended warranty was up. I've had the Corolla for about two years I think, so there's still a while to go before it's paid off
I have a job interview tomorrow morning. Who does interviews on Sunday mornings? This place is more my style so I hope it works out. I need to not work at that little bakery I'm supposed to go to in a week and a half.
Home and so buzzed from the air show yet so tired from all that fresh air.
Thunderbirds weren't able to put on whole show. One of the T-birds suffered from a malfunction and had to go back to the airport................the 5 came back but the sixth never did...........a seagull met a untimely death, apparently. The T-Birds have a spare plane so they are good to go for tomorrow. Glad I saw the missing man formation and the wedge yesterday at practice.
Would like to go tomorrow but no one wants to go. They keep saying it will be back next year
I took 657 pictures yesterday I have gotten it down to 45o-ish. I love trying to take pics of fast moving jets and the acrobatics of smaller planes. No more planes have flown overand officially the show is over for 2009.....I wonder when the T-birds and friends leave.
Monday into Tuesday the GIANT Air Bus 380 is at Mitchell Field on its way to Oshkosh for the big EAA show...........I would like to go to that someday
I Twitter....

Finally!
Maybe they'll continue on with that trend and play it for my 2 shows.
that's ALOT of pictures! Can you imagine if this were back in the day of actual film and the only way to see all 657 pics would be to pay to get them developed?!!? Well of course if you used film you probably wouldn't have been able to take that many but still....
Went to bed early last night so I could get up by 7ish today. Well that didn't happen since I woke up at 3:00 and was wiiiiide awake for a few hours. But I did get up at 9. I'm so nervous about tomorrow. Not because I have to bake for them but because I have to be up in the middle of the night and acting like I'm happy to be awake at that hour. I do not do well in the first few hours of the day, no matter what time I get up, but especially early in the morning even after 8 hours of sleep. I don't care though because I WANT this job!!!!!!!
my poor Papa.....well my poor mom too.....my grandpa calls nonstop for my mom during the day. He knows she works until 3:30 everyday and is home by 4. But he calls and calls and calls. He drives her nuts when she is home by calling all night long too. This just started since he moved into the nursing home. He used to call once or twice every night and that was that. But now it's constant. I'm ready to turn off the phones so I don't have to listen to them ring. If I were to answer and say she's not home (he can't hear so it's hard to have a conversation with him without screaming into the phone) he wouldn't hear half of what I said and would still call back in 5 minutes. He's worried about the house and his stuff and his finances which is all understandable but it's the same questions and conversations over and over and over again. We were there on Sun afternoon and he rambled on about 1 particular piece of furniture and then called my mom a few times last night to talk about it with her. It's tiring for all of us.
yeah, that sounds like a good ideaPosted by kdawson on Monday July 27, @07:34PM

"The Washington Post reports that Department of Homeland Security is relying on a rushed, flawed study to justify its decision to locate the $700 million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility for highly infectious pathogens in a tornado-prone section of Kansas. A GAO report says that it is not 'scientifically defensible' to conclude that lab can safely handle dangerous animal diseases in Kansas. Such research has been conducted up to now on a remote island on the northern tip of Long Island, NY. 'Drawing conclusions about relocating research with highly infectious exotic animal pathogens from questionable methodology could result in regrettable consequences,' the GAO warned in its draft report. Critics of moving the operation to the mainland argue that a release could lead to widespread contamination that could kill livestock, devastate a farm economy, and endanger humans. Along with the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease, NBAF researchers plan to study African swine fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, and other viruses in the Biosafety Level (BSL) 3 and BSL-4 livestock laboratory capable of developing countermeasures for foreign animal diseases. According to the article, DHS lobbied a Congressional committee to try and convince them that the GAO report was flawed, and to head off any hearings on the controversy. Despite this, the House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight and investigations subcommittee plans to hold a hearing Thursday on the risk analysis."
