Slache Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Ok. Due to gas mileage we're looking at a new Corolla. It would be less monthly and last longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 OK. So, apparently Barbravan was in an accident shortly before we got her and after the 150,000 miles we put on her she was totaled. We were given the same information from 2 sources. So we were $4,500 in the negative and the only way to recoup that was by paying too much for a used car and being in the same boat in 3 years, or getting a new one and forfeiting the rebates. I think we did well with low payments, great gas mileage and free maintenance/oil for 85,000 miles. 42 minutes ago, Susan in TN said: Yay, Slache & Co.!! What's it's name? Adam.

The past few days have been crazy with my brother here but things should be back to normal for the rest of this week. Dh is going to visit his mom this weekend so I should be able to get lots of stuff done. I have to rearrange things at the science center again. I bought too many new things for classes this year and need to find places to put them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I've been doing some training walks with dd getting ready for my virtual 5k. Did a mile and a half yesterday after teaching all day and boy did my feet hurt this morning! They've been hurting lately. Not a ton when my PF is acting up but definitely more than usual and I was wondering if I needed new sneakers again. But I just bought these in March. They are Brooks and $$$. I might just need to try some slip in cushions or something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think if I did it on a day where I wasn't already on my feet all day at classes, I could just do the walk in one shot. But I like the idea of getting into the habit of walking most days. I'm on my feet all day but I don't get my heart rate up at all and I tend to just walk in a small area most of the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this happen in real life, or just on TV? Susan, a motion to suppress an admission or confession is routine. Nowadays, it's almost malpractice for a defense attorney not to at least try. Once filed, the motion may or may not succeed. Depending upon the circumstances, however, yes, it is possible that a suspect's entire confession may be suppressed. In that case, it cannot be used in evidence against him. Whether or not the case will proceed will then depend upon the quantity and quality of the remaining evidence against the defendant, if any. Conviction at trial, should there be one, will turn on the same, with the added wild card of the sanity of the members of the jury. Shoot me a PM or a text if you want specifics. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Our van is hanging in there, but we are expecting to need a replacement at some point next year. We'd prefer a "12-passenger something" for the 2-3 times a year we are driving a long way with everyone or camping/backpacking, but lower-priced used vehicles in this category are not always easy to come by. Squishing all 8 of us into an 8-passenger would be technically doable, but after 2 full days on the road, we may all lose our sanity. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Well, it's done. After a not-so-pleasant break-up with my former agent and agency a few weeks ago, I'm back on path to publication with a new agent and a new agency. I'm flat scared to death something terrible will go wrong, knock me down again, and kick me a couple of times for good measure. So much of traditional publishing seems to be getting knocked about, bloodied, and then staggering on in a forward direction. I'm happy with this new agent (she had previously offered on my story and is still enthusiastic about me and my work, and has always been supportive), but it's also nerve-wracking because I didn't expect to get thrown off course, tossed around, seasick, and then have to get right back in the boat so soon. Thought I'd be back on the docks for a while first. But here I am, and I'm hoping it all works out. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 So, at the dealership yesterday I told him I wanted a hybrid and they didn't tell us that they had hybrids. I found out last night that they do so we are on our way back to exchange it. I am so pissed. I explained that he drives 250 miles a day and gas mileage is our top priority. I asked for a hybrid and he said my only option was a Prius which only has two doors. This is going to save us another $100+ a month in gas. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
