The Plnk Ranther Strikes Again

[oohpartiv 484]

this thread is very very bad for my diet

i brought lunch today - wholemeal wrap with smoked salmon, lettuce, sliced cherry tomatoes and yoghurt dressing.

now i feel like tossing that and indulging in a pint of rocky road instead.

Blagh, you're telling me. I'm usually pretty good about sticking to my macros but lately ice cream has been calling my name. Haven't fallen yet, but feeling very tempted.

every year on Chinese New Year's eve. The Chinese family gets together for dinner, known as "The reunion dinner". Signifying the family's union. This year, I feel like telling Tiff to go eat with her sisters...

No.

Just general observation as it snows here every other freaking day and I have to drive in it because HELLO they of COURSE make me work from the office now and it keep going -40 with wind chill and it's halting my shipments and my car can BARELY start.

The engine turned over a good 7 or 8 times this morning before it makes this awful quick GRIND noise and starts.

Every. Morning.

Don't like Gucci. I am a DIY-er, would rather sew/bead/knit/make my own stuff than buy it for 1000 times the price retail.

Maybe J should make us a car...

I suggest, instead, a volvo 740 turbo sedan as yer first car in The Americas.

Why? insurance will be cheaper, is very safe if you get in a T-bone accident if you wear the seatbelt, and most other drivers not mess with older Volvos, knowing their car won't survive the wreck.

Then, after a year, go get something newish, you'll have a one year history of driving in the USA, rates will be cheaper for you with 1 year of history.

If you think you'll turn into a reclamation specialist for yer DIY activities, get the station wagon version, instead, as they can haul a lot of gear and kit.

Usually find a well-maintained volvo in the 1200 to 1700 range. Oh, and stay away from mitsubishi eclipse - you will become a stereotype (asian driving rice-burner car, will be challenged by other car club members to race and upgrade - is not nice here, they are very thuggish about it)

should the opportunity arise...yes. I am just throwing it out there and seeing what comes first. If I am willing to move to California, might as well look for a job in Edinburgh or Geneva.

chunky monkey is the best.

And I ran of of pop tarts.

Then bought more but forgot them at home.

Poptarts... poppers... close enough.

this is good info pour moi as well.

[Darnell 8,478]

is the benz considered a luxury car in the US?

sometimes. depends on year model and income and social strata and living area. Older ones usually bought not as luxury cars, but as safer cars for teenagers to drive.

I want a volvo 740....

but a station wagon is like a CT housewife's car.......

always over the same #######. She won't place this family over her sisters.....

Time to exchange. <EOM>
