Hubs keeps saying he only has 2 weeks of vacation time in a year.

No dear, you earn 3 hours of vacation every week (6 hours per pay period.) That equals 156 hours per year. He works 10 hour days so 15.6 working days per year. He only works 4 days a week, so that's 3.9 weeks. So in March he would only have to work 2 days the entire month if he kept all of his vacation time. I think I finally got it through to him that it's WAY more than 2 weeks a year. Sure it's 2 weeks, if you worked every friggin day in a week.

We argued about cars... No I don't want a truck, even a tacoma. I get that they're useful, but they have worse gas mileage than a car, obviously. Yes they're useful, but what can I do in a base tacoma (abiet one that is 4wd because I would never buy a 2wd one in Colorado) that I cannot do with our Jeep? It's a 4 door Jeep so you can put a double bed in the back with the seats down (which fold flat.) Granted then it's in a bed not the vehicle... but... tarps? whatever... sigh.

i say rig a trailer, instead,

and make the trailer multifunction, multi-use.

rigged one way for hauling stuff, rigged another way for camping support, rigged another way for gardening, etc etc.

That is what we will be doing if/when we trade in the truck. Even with an extended cab, the cab part of a pick up truck is impractically small and most people rarely use the bed.

Yes, but which ones? I judge them a little less for failing Chemistry/Physics than Algebra I or English, not that Physics isn't easy, but some people just aren't comfortable with it.

When was the last time you sat in a crew cab? It's huge.

Not extended cab, crew cab.

Recently, but it costs extra, and still doesn't have a trunk. Try taking a huge weekly shopping trip with 2 kids and 2 adults and it is like Tetris with the groceries, gosh forbid you want to buy anything else.

, it is a pain just going shopping with one person and a truck. Great for buying drywall, not so great for everyday use.

No dear, you earn Many hours of vacation every week (Many hours per pay period.) That equals Many hours per year. He works Many hour days so Many.Many working days per year. He only works Many days a week, so that's Many.Many weeks. So in March he would only have to work 2 days the entire month if he kept all of his vacation time. I think I finally got it through to him that it's WAY more than 2 weeks a year. Sure it's 2 weeks, if you worked every friggin day in a week.

Many > 2, undeniably. Impressive P-calculations, Niki-B. ma'am!

We have a Tacoma the cab is big but if you're over 6 feet not so comfy. Now Toyota has a big truck now and it's huge but would be hard on gas too It's actually good for shopping most cars don't have a big enough trunk for groceries and I have to fill up the back seat, the only thing I wish was that hubby had a cover for the tuck so we could stop at multiple stores and leave the stuff back there.

But I don't see the need for a truck when you already have a jeep.

Darnell I would of expected the tier 2 lady to know what she was doing better then the level 1 guy but he was the only one who figured out that there was a programming issue and he couldn't over ride it. That is why he transferred me, but I still don't think she did fix that.

My head is pounding so if the Tylenol takes it away I will call again, I don't think the tech guy is going to be any help and I hate waiting.

re: tech in cable company - if you want to get this fixed in future, always get the cell numbers of the technicians that visit your house - they can re-open tickets when they learn of serious problems, and it's best to focus on that one human, the tech in your area, until the problem is resolved. if'n you got his cell number now, well, call him back, text him also.

[Ontarkie 14,304]

Never had a tech out here, it was just the guy at the call centre!

Troph they have these baskets that you attach to the rear of the truck bed that serves as a trunk, some revolves, some slide out.....

Oh, forgot to tell you guys. So, Gump's brother uses my house for a mailing address.

When they got a green card (and Gump got left out), they opened credit card accounts. Process server dropped off subpoena this morning for Gump SIL, 9000 in default.
