Oh, this is awesome:
Newt Gingrich has been using "Eye of the Tiger" at his campaign events (has the man no sense of taste? Even Dean Winchester is aware it's ridiculous!), but without permission!
Love it.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
sara, I'm not going to be helpful because I see both sides of the situation. I'm seriously contemplating the same thing this summer (LWOP) because I don't know how many more times I will get to be with my entire family in the same place. It could be Italy or it could be France, but the important thing is that we'll be together. I won't get into the drama regarding this with my current place of employment.
You're conservative with money, which I TOTALLY get, but my inclination is to deal with a little less of a cushion temporarily for what could be the memories of a lifetime.
ita !, congrats! I'm so happy you found something you like that was in your price range. Yay for new car!

'suela, I love a good dose of schadenfreude. I'm thinking that's a violation of SOPA, but of course Newt is special and above that petty copyright nonsense.

I see both side too and that I'm sure is a large part of my ire: I can't wholly take a side and be fucking decisive! Instead, I'm just bent.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pleased with the purchase. I ended up putting $5K down on the card for the points, and financing the rest, with the understanding that I can pay it off in full when the first payment is due, with no penalty or accrued anything. So that was all board-informed, and shit. I did also let her sell me a warranty-lite, because I am a bit nervous about potential maintenance costs, but I feel okay with the idea that I can cancel that at any time.
Hey, is that Brady from SPN is on Alcatraz? He's so pretty. I full believe him and Sam had a thing.

I just need to fucking get over myself. To reiterate.

Ack. Why does my freezer sound like there is a frog in it? For the past several hours it's been making a weird croaking noise every few seconds. Driving me crazy, and making me worry it's going to break. I am all excited about FUN things I could do with my tax refund, not "buy new fridge" type things!

Fantastic news on the no-prepayment penalty. Warranty is not a bad thing, not when an OEM window motor costs $800.
sara, you don't need to do anything. It's not a done deal yet. There are a number of factors outside your control that could scuttle the whole mission. Be aggravated that your parents are tone-deaf right now, but get bent when there's actually something to get bent about. In the meantime, run all the scenarios (like I know you will) and figure out what you'd be comfortable doing.

meara, that sucks. I was going to do something frivolous with the money that ended up covering the bumper replacement on my company car. Being a grownup stinks sometimes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Didn't Reagan do that with "Born in the USA"?
I am tired and cranky. wahh! And I realize thanks to this conversation that I need a few new bras that actually fit. Somehow 4 of my old ones just went and got worn out all at once. I guess step one is getting a proper fitting as I have not a clue what size I am now, and I have Bs, Cs, and Ds in my lingerie drawer.
But on the good news tip, I just found a new beauty supply near my house, and what do I see inside but a huge display of Zoya polish!
