Karma Pavement Plan II

So you know how I said in a previous post that I always seem to be on this even financial keel? Well, we just made gain share at work. That means employees get extra money and everyone rejoices...and then just when I think "oh, goodie, I actually have extra money" my car is once again the shop. No idea how much this'll cost, but I've got a hunch it'll be right around the dollar amount of the extra money. Am I blessed to have extra to pay for it, or is this karma just keeping me even? And if there's a way to somehow free myself from this cycle and actually have some extra will somebody please fill me in?

I was in the same cycle for quite a while and didn't break it until I got rid of the car!

ha! unfortunately the car is free and I have this policy to not pay for a new one...though it may turn out to be cheaper in the long run if the sable keeps breaking down...maybe i should go on a game show and win one

I STILL don't have a car. But I did get a girlfriend with one. ;-) Does the new beau have a car? Although living in Europe without a car is a million times easier and more practical than the US. :(

yes, he does have a car, an SUV, but he HATES driving. He says it's cuz it guzzles so much gas... so he makes me drive a lot.

Dearest Devon-I keep meaning to learn more about the power of the sub-concious mind. Maybe I'll have to check it out. This psychic once told me I actually had a very powerful mind to influence things if I really "put my mind to it". Yes, yes, psychic, mind power, the subconcious...nay-sayers nay say all you want, but maybe, just maybe there's something there...maybe

Well, that is his own fault for buying a terrorist supporting vehicle. Brilliant idea though, since he hates driving it, you can drive it all you want! Win-win-win. :)

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
