The second trimester. After the puke, but before the cannonball bursting apart your lower ribcage and bouncing on your bladder every time you move. Or breathe.

Renai Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think, in my 2nd pregnancy, the "Golden Trimester" is when I got the grand idea to climb the coyote fence to see something the neighbor was showing us, then got stuck because my balance was wonky and I couldn't figure out how to get down without falling and I had to call dh to come rescue me. Yep. True story. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hmpf. I've been practicing my tin whistle and doing a bang-up job of it thankyouverymuch, but dh said it gave him a headache and is now going to bed. Hair flip. He should try being around while the kids are practicing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Good Morning!!! I slept better last night. Yay! Ds20 is wanting to buy a truck. I think ds and dh are going to the bank today. It is an older truck 2002 Ford F250 4x4. I hope they do well. This is what he has been looking for. My niece's husband (nephew in law?) is selling it. So we know the truck.:D It has been well taken care of. And he is giving ds a really fair price. So there's that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkW Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So, yesterday afternoon I had another partial/psychic seizure while driving Izzy home from my MIL's. It doesn't actually impede my driving any more than the radio or the kids do, but it's still a little disturbing. This is the worst imaginable timing for this problem. Also "psychic seizure" makes it sound like I'm going to do a tarot reading while in a trance or something but what it means is a seizure that's all sensory (ie, your limbs don't contract, etc) and where you don't lose consciousness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Searching Google for "psychic seizure" brings up a distressing number of links, some of which are on "official" domains in the forum sections, from people who actually think that this is what it means. Ugh, no people, you are not psychic, your brain is exploding. That is all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Is 6.5% interest ok for a first time borrower on a used truck? I have no idea really, I was hoping 5%, 6% at the most, but I don't know. ETA: ds20 has no credit established. Dh is co-signing. Edited December 2, 2015 by Openhearted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) For a first time borrower on a used car, that seems reasonable to me. I think rates tend to be higher on used in general and with no credit history or co-signer it seems about right. I did just get 4% with mediocre credit on a new car, but I also had a trade that covered half the value, so... hard to compare. Edit for your edit: if your husband has good credit (FICO above 690) and is co-signing, then you can probably get a better rate than that. More importantly, can your son/daughter/whomever make higher than the minimum monthly payment and is that something they want to do? If that's the case then the rate is less relevant.

Openhearted Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Ok. Good. I believe he is borrowing $2,000 less than the blue book value. So, that's good.

I went to like your edit and unliked because I had already liked. So I reliked.:lol: Yep, I agree, he plans on paying off early. Nephew in law was not supposed to be ready to sell until spring. He had a change in plans, obviously. I told them to go ahead with the 6.5%. This will get him established, and hopefully he will buckle down and pay it off soon. Thank you.

JoJosMom Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Good morning, everyone. I think prairiewindmomma should return to her bed and sleep until the gremlin infesting her life has moved on to torture some other poor soul. I'm not sure that my idea is realistic, however. :grouphug: Text-speak makes my eyes bleed. To the extent that, when DD got her smart phone, I laid down the law: First time I see you use that poor excuse for communication is the last time you see the phone. , that's me. My child had precisely one tantrum as a toddler. So, I guess I can put a point in the "plus column" of having an only child. We had a wonderful dinner out last night to celebrate our NaNoWriMo Winner's Fabulous Achievement. I drove, however, so I had cioppino without a glass of red wine. Which just feels, I don't know, wrong somehow. But the short person was happy, so all is well. Now, I really should suit up and slay the Poo. Wish me luck, all. Oh, and have a fabulous and educational day! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FICO is a game banks play anyway, but yeah it doesn't hurt to have it when you need it. As long as you understand that the finance companies aren't your buddies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning she wanted to show me that she had "hiccuped" all over her bed. Uh, honey, not hiccups. Lots of laundry today. :grouphug: One time dd9 had a nosebleed in the middle of the night. I could tell by the smear on her face when I saw her in the morning. I asked her why she didn't wake me up so that I could help her. She said that she didn't want to wake me up ( :001_wub: ) so she used her bed comforter to stop the bleeding. ( :svengo: ) :) Prairie -- hope your days get better soon!

"Brain storms", as we used to call dd's seizures, are no fun. I can't figure that out. They hit me when I'm stressed out but I'm stressed out so often that that's not a good indicator. :) I also seem to sometimes have them when I'm thinking about or worrying about having them, but for all I know there's a subliminal cue going on there where I know it's coming before I feel it. It is a neuro thing after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So, I told my boss that I've been seizing all week including once while driving my daughter and she insisted on driving me home and told me to work from home for now.
