theo - that's terrible.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Northeastnerners spend more on NYE than other Americans:
The annual "Shopping in America Holiday 2005" survey found that 75 percent of Americans plan to celebrate on New Year's Eve and each will spend an average of $172 on festivities.
But a regional breakdown of that spending pattern reveals that folks in the Northeast shell out the most — an average of $255.53 — on the big night, followed by Westerners with $169.32 and Southerners with $158.82.
Those in the Midwest spend the least, an average of just $119.45.
I wonder how much that's adjusted for cost-of-living differences, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
each will spend an average of $172 on festivities.
Jeez. I was thinking, maybe 20, 30 bucks.

God Theo, that's awful!
Nora, I sent something to the e-mail you sent me something on.
Got the estimate on my car: $2600+ (it would probably have been more in actuality). Too rich for my blood - that will be money better spent towards a newer one. I could almost justify anything up to 2K, as I think it was worth twice what I paid for it, but beyond that I just can't justify it. At least it's over (or will be when I get out to Eastie and payoff the expenses and retrieve my plates).
I think I will go carless for the foreseeable, though. There are a few people who may be selling in the not-too-distant future.

ita should take a day.
Theo, that is awful.
I just ran a meeting that I had virtually no info for. Now I am plotting lunch, cause I forgot to bring in the food I made last night.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Theo, let me add my ~ma to you and your friend.
Frank, sorry to hear the car was a loss. I hope the car-free life treats you well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wonder how much that's adjusted for cost-of-living differences, though.
Seriously. Also? People are nuts. Actually, I wonder how much the NE figures are affected by people who get a hotel room in NYC that night -- that would skew the numbers like woah.
I have done approx. 15 minutes of work so far today. Now I'm thinking about ordering in lunch, but I don't know where they keep the menus...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've never spent that much money on NYE-- how is it possible that that is average?
