Something About Nothing..........# 9

Good morning homies

 

[keishashadow]

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend ...

I'm busy doing last-minute checks on car rentals for our trip in 12 days (well actually 11 days, 14 hours )

... I honestly can't get over how low car rental prices are for our dates - haven't seen rental prices this low in a long time. For a mid-size through National EA, total with taxes, etc it's $135.10 for 11 days. Through Alamo, it's $124.81. We're still inclined to go with National as they may have a better selection of cars on the EA, plus no check in via desk or kiosk like Alamo.

even though they're sister companies Alamo's service pales in comparison to national's @ MCO. how we snuck thru & kept Executive this year is beyond me, but glad to have it. congrats on the great rates, hope they keep rolling along

Thankful to have my dogs and my house.

I left the broiler on for 5 1/2 hours--yes, the chicken was crispy.

the dogs are scared to even go in the kitchen..windows are on...the air smells like skunk...


Next week--washing the walls... Sigh
.

glad ur safe if not sound. I've had kids leave water in BR running when i wasn't home (twice), homeowners paid for restoration company, might want to check into that.

Sorry must have been rambling, Valhalla was the name of the episode on Criminal Minds. One of my favourite shows.
The new series of DR Who is in it`s 3rd week here and Tom who is a fanatic of the show is extremely disappointed in it. Doesn`t really seem like Dr Who anymore, they`ve kind of lost the plot and gone in a more Torchwood theme, not sure if you got that series over there. But heyho he`ll still watch.......it`s still sci-fi of a kind
Good luck with the insurance

for once we actually get the series the same time you do. we're big on torchwood too, have lots of episodes tivo'd i need to view. Also, had a remake of being human here this season...then i discovered it's a version of BBC one (which i promptly taped all the seasons). family's mad cause im hogging up all the space he he.

speaking of family, was taken out to breakfast by my 'babies' yesterday

 

[macraven]

you have beautiful 'babies'.........


good they treated you to the Empress that you are.

MONDAY.

I guess if it HAS to be monday posting on disboards is the best way to spend it. Hope all are having a great monday. I think I will go have some lasagna.

What a lovely picture.........and a lovely gesture for Mothers day

I`m never popular with what must be similar to tivo (we don`t have that name) Our virgin+ box records all the stuff. Last month I had it nearly full with Twin Peaks, I recorded the whole 2 series and hadn`t watched most of them.
I loved Kyle McLachlan.....Tom doesn`t believe me when I say that`s who I named our son after.....but it`s true


Well it`s finally DOUBLE DIGIT day.............. 99 days till Orlando Not that I`m counting

Strange day today.......... lovely all morning then........boiling hot, hailstones, lashing rain, thunder and lightning, sunshine now rain and cool again. We used to say in Scotland if you didn`t like the weather at the moment hang around for 15 minutes and it would change..........it really was like that today.

Nearly bedtime for me tonight, having early night as we did a load of heavy gardening this morning. Then cleaned all the windows this afternoon.......I`m all done in.

Youse yinz (real scottish saying) have a good day

 

[macraven]

one in my hh remembered yesterday was mother's day.

so, i spent time with my parental units and had a decent lunch with them at the old folks home.


looks like it is going to start pouring down rain soon.


and the concrete for the stoop, sidewalk and drive has not been poured yet.



still wondering if coach and tamie tu tude are okay.
they live in the south and might have been effected by the bad storms weeks past.

 

[tink1957]

attn ladies: Thor was mighty good, the dude is hot, hot, hot

I second that emotion...my kids took me to dinner & a movie (Thor) for Mother's Day and let me just say that the actor who plays Thor is just about the yummiest thing that I have seen since Brad Pitt.

Wishing everyone a belated Happy Mother's Day, hope everyone had a wonderful day. I had to work from 12 - 5 and the kids met me afterwards. I enjoyed a great dinner with a marvelous Watermelon Margarita at Longhorn...they bring it with it's own shaker so it's like having 3 drinks as you can refill it twice.

Carole, congrats on your double digits...your trip will be here before you know it.

I feel your pain on the insurance rates with 2 kids under 25, ouch. The good news is they do get older and hopefully, pay for themselves.

 

[keishashadow]

try having 4 teen sons on your car insurance policy....
it's something to drive you to drink.


what's this about the teens paying for their portion of the car insurance?
we still have 2 of them on our insurance and they are not teens now.


how did i go wrong in raising the boys.........

Hey hey hey watch it! I'm 20 and I'm still on my parents car and health insurance! Rules are as long as I am doing well in school, don't blow my money, and not go wild crazy they will keep me on their insurance til I graduate.

I have made Dean's List several semesters in a row with a 3.3 GPA, have decided to go into business with my parents, have never run out of money and come begging for more, and dislike the taste of alcohol, hate large obnoxious crowds, and stupid people (aka college parties). So I get rewarded for being myself

But for the five siblings before me... they got kicked off insurance a LONGGGG time ago.

 

[macraven]

hey homie tiny, i am on your side.

i paid for the boys insurance and their dates..........
yes, chump is written on my forehead.



3 of them have one of my credit cards and i still pay for the gas........


now i know why they don't want to move out of our house.

Do you have an extra room? Move over boys, you have a new sister!

so, you're 'the good one'

i vaguely remember insurance agent mentioning something to effect that i could designate youngest DS away @ college to save moneyit's fuzzy since i had just picked myself off the floor after being told how much my new payment was

.

have you considered bangs?my #2 has figured out how not to wear out his welcome, segues back & forth between parental homes when it gets tense, we're usually happy to see him.

i turned a lovely shade of red resulting from starting long process of opening pool the last 2 days (which still isn't done). Beautiful here this week in the 70's - maybe winter has finally departed.

i love that....

depending on your insurance company, you might have what i have..

i was able to put a couple of the sons on a special plan when they were away living at skool.
it had to be over 200 miles for them to qualify and a gpa.

it's not called a vacation hold but something along the lines of student, part time driver ....
it did cut the costs down for us.

they could drive whenever they came home from breaks, holidays and semesters. if they were home for some reason during the regular skool season but still enrolled and active full time, they were covered in that time period also.

it really helps with the budget.
nothing like the $1500 extra for having a son on your policy.
that is each son on the policy.....




good morning homies.
i hear it's gonna be a sunny warm day.
then the t-storms roll in this afternoon.

 

[tink20]

I'm glad my two are 8 years apart, I have time to recover as for car note, insurance, gas money and I am glad DS is a boy, my girl is sooooo expensive.

Haha I guess you could say Im the good one, but I have given my parents plenty of trouble. I have been "Ms. Independent" since I popped out and that didn't always swing well. I moved out within 2 months of graduating and ever since then things have been gravy.

As for insurance it is only $50 bucks a month for them to have me on their insurance. Girls are generally a lot cheaper and dad has the most expensive car, the corvette, registered in Florida... because you may know the kid has to be registered on the most expensive and risky car. I also get good student discount and good driver discount. Idk what it was when it started out but I know my brothers was upwards 150 bucks.

 

[RAPstar]

I just got my first solo auto policy! lol Geico took me off my mom's since I recently moved out, and they quoted me $170 a month But then I got a quote through AAA, and since I already had my renters insurance, and I work there, They got it down to $144. Not a huge savings, but still better.

Afternoon homies!
