No, not really. It's a great company that did the work ('Thrasher', how cool is that? ) and surprisingly affordable. I got it relatively easy, though, 'cuz I don't live near the massive flooding that has inundated the area around the river. Lots of those people lost everything they had.
For the most part, I'd agree. I really like good, funny banter in commentary tracks though (e.g. the ones the actors did for some Babylon 5 episodes). Also, the LOTR SEE content was pretty amazing. I've watched all of it.
Groceries and petrol. Petrol prices have come down a couple of pence, but filling up still cost about £73. Groceries were more reasonable though; with various coupons/discounts, it came to about £43, down from an initial £57. Also got the renewal quote for my car insurance in the mail; just under £600, which from memory is a little higher than last year's. Was expecting a small rise; apparently everyone's premiums have been going up this year, but I'll get round to comparing prices a bit later to doublecheck it's reasonable. Well, reasonable isn't the word I'd choose, but you know what I mean...
I changed my car insurance provider earlier this year and not only got myself a more feature-packed policy, but also saved a fair bit, too. Hope your insurance shopping goes well.
Thanks! I just ran my details through the usual combination of superconfused.commeerkats and got a price about 5% lower, so I just called up my existing insurer and with a bit of sweet-talking, managed to knock the premium even further down to just £540, about 10% off initial quote. Happy now.
I bought a Toshiba laptop with a wireless card at a yard sale last weekend for six dollars! Incredibly it works great and it even came with a nice carrying case.
Yeah there are always exceptions. I've listened to a lot of actor commentary tracks of my favourite shows (Farscape, Buffy, Angel...).
Starbucks white hot chocolate, tall, whole milk, dash of vanilla syrup, extra hot, cream on top. I miss coffee, but this comes a close second.
Yep, that's me, too. I switched purses almost as soon as I left the store. It made my day. And I've already gotten a lot of compliments on it.
Cute! ^ We hit Lowe's today---bought batteries, lightbulbs, & Ortho's Home Defense (preventative measure). We looked solar lights for the front walk but decided not to get any.
I don't ever go into Starbucks as a general rule, but that sounds rather delicious, so rule-breaking may be in the offing at some point. Sounds like I'd have to skip lunch that day, though, based on the likely calorie count of that drink! One thing I love about US products are the awesome names. I'd never have guessed this was basically bug poison without googling. Sounds like some kind of Pentagon-approved laser grid...
Yeah, had to go back to the bastards, 'cos they do the best white hot chocolate around - plus they accommodate a lot of customisation. That's a drink I request which isn't on the menu. Good luck trying to explain it to them, they usually end up getting it wrong somehow - either giving me a white cafe mocha, or making it skimmed, or forgetting the vanilla, etcetera. I normally have to say quite slowly and repeat a couple of times. I've been doing a lot of back-breaking physical labour recently, so I have excused myself from too much calorie counting. I just make sure I drink it first thing rather than last to ensure it gets used up. Back on topic, latest purchase was a waxed cotton fishing jacket. I don't know why, I seem to like some weird things lately. I have never fished a day in my life.
