No no no, no dying yet ...

going? i thought you were president of the crazy club?

 

[AlexandNessa]

What? I am half-awake trying to catch up ....

Just stay away from the Dunkin Donuts, k?

I used to work there in high school, and I've seen people ice donuts with their bare fingers, lick them, and ice them again. I avoid all frosted donuts now.

St. Lawrence, so sorry to hear about your aunt.

Where is Jodie???

Jodie, weren't you looking for a new car? Have you gotten one yet? If you have, what did you get? I just sold my Trailblazer and have decided to go with something that gets better gas mileage. I have just about decided to get a new Honda Accord. They have redesigned them and they are bigger than they used to be.

Does anyone here have an '08 Accord? If you do, tell me what you think about it. My parents own an older Accord and they say it's the best car they've ever owned.

Hi Alison! It took us 13 months to buy a bed! A bed, and that will was only about 10% of what a car costs.

Sorry, I do not have or know anyone with a 2008 Accord, but I dated a mechanic in the long, long ago, and I do remember him saying that they were the most popular car to be stolen, primarily for their parts. Make sure you check that out before buying to see if that's the case. I don't mean to sound negative ... all my friends who have had past models really, really like them.

Mike likes the GMC Acadia. I hate the GMC logo (it's a girl thing -- really, they couldn't find some cool logo .. they have to put those big, honkin G-M-C letters right on the front grill?). We also like the Nissan Murano, but that runs optimally on premium, which puts it a distant third to the Mazda CX-9. Too many baby happenings this year in my family and with my folks turning 60 and us taking them on vacation ... I'm sure we'll buy a new car in about 2012.

I love the GMC Acadia too, but I don't want to pay what they want for a new one..... The Saturn Outlook is the same as the GMC Acadia. Do you like the Saturn logo alright? We looked at an Outlook just last Saturday and I fell in love with it! Then, we went by the Honda dealer and DH looked at the Accord and really liked it. We both liked the 31 miles to the gallon!!!!! My sister is the finance manager for a GM dealer and I told her that if she could find me a GMC Acadia or a Saturn Outlook (used with low miles of course because we both know what those cost new!!!) with leather and a sunroof for $26,000, I would buy it. I don't think she's going to find it..... I just don't want to pay $500/month for a car!!!! You would think that my sis could get me a good deal on a vehicle, but....... I bought my last one from her and after I got it, I saw lots better deals out there. I thought I'd run that by her and if she comes up with one, I guess I'll be driving a pre-owned Acadia or Outlook, but I'm not holding my breath!

Jodie...I've heard the same thing. Speaking of donuts, we used to have a place back home called Spudnuts that blew away any donut I'd ever had...except glazed KrispyKreme...hey...you can't mess with perfection right?

Don't move to Florida, move here to Mississippi where the cost of living is low. We had 1/4 inch of snow this year. Unless you're building a condo complex on your not-yet-purchased Florida property for all of us.

By the way, my DS7 and I LOVED the little light saber fight you posted on one of your replies to me. I can't keep up with this board. But it's fun to pop in when I can.

my parents lived in biloxi when they started out together.

that place and gulfport really suffered tremendous loss with the last 2 catastrophes there.

it has really changed.


move a tad north of the gulf area and you will be safer homies......

I've had Spudnuts before too and they are good....where are you originally from Todd?

Alison, good luck with the car search! I hope your sis can find you one for what you want to pay. Let us know!

I know the Acadia and Outlook are virtually the same, but here's the thing ... my first new car was a Saturn, and it was a POS and I hated it. That was back in 1995/6, and I know Saturns have come a long way since then, but I just can't bring myself back to Saturn. How stupid is that?!

Anyway, Mike and I get a small discount at GM (even on the Saturns). If you PM me exactly what you want on the Outlook, I can price it for you, and share the discount with you if you're interested. I forget what the deal is on Saturns, but I'd be glad to do that and see if it makes it worth your while. They still might have some 2007 models; I can check (was the Outlook even available in '07?). The discount is good at any GM dealer ... just PM me what model/features you want, and if it's worth it to you, I'll send you all the info. It's pretty painless.

Thanks Jodie! I sent you a PM.

Hey ... No fighting over the donuts gang ... I brought more!!

Those are Krispy Kremes!!!


Amazing!

Not to belabor the point (I'm so behind on this thread now), but there has been a drastic change in the Disney Corp. since they booted Eisner out. The things my husband and I have observed about Disney are things we've seen all over the place in corporations and big industries. You get a bunch of people at the top who want all the control, without having any REAL involvement. They think the most important thing to do is cut costs and raise the profits in any way, shape, or form. The consumers and employees are just commodities, not human beings. So the bottom line is no longer creating an environment where everyone is happy and everyone benefits - it's just dollar signs. Profits will begin to dwindle if they keep going the direction they've been going for the last several years. Their profits would continue to grow if they focused on making Disney the happiest place on earth again. You know, happy employees who never have to question whether their employer values their contributions and trusts them to do their jobs, happy "guests" who really feel like distant family members, happy staff who are in love with the creative process, etc. As it is, their momentum is based solely on their past reputation. How long will that last before more people like me leave in disgust and warn others not to waste their money?

This Cinderella left the Wicked Stepmother and Ugly Step Sisters in Disney World. I found the Dream Ball in US/IOA. Thanks, Disney, for driving me away and opening my eyes to the other possibilities. We still need you around to serve as a bad example for Universal so they don't fall into the same hole.

oh, i thought you were only a disney gal with the tink screen name and all.
see, the dark side isn't as dark as once thought it was

i know the answer to this one.

one of our cars is a saturn, 2005 and runs well and cheap to operate.
now the sienna toyota and the Nissan SUV are another story

 

[macraven]

nevermind, i see you hate the saturns.



went out to red robin for a quick dinner with mr mac.
i didn't like it that much there.

i have heard how great they are but next time, i'll stick with the Blue Resturant

 

[Tinker-tude]

I had my cootie shot!

Chocolate covered cooties. Hmmmm. For some reason I'm picturing raisinettes...

Cooties aren't quite that big. When you say rainsinettes, I'm picturing rabbit poopies.

Sorry to hear about your aunt's passing and your family's distance.... I hope you're feeling better and getting plenty of rest.

Tamie (Macadamia)

lawrence, i must have skipped over the quote button when i read about your aunt's passing.
i am sorry to hear what is happening over that.

you should do what you think you can live with.
if you feel that you should attend the services, then go
if you are going to be concerned what others are going to think of you, stay home.
you are in my prayers

Yes, I never want to live that close to any coast. We are 3-4 hours north of the Gulf.
