Cute car, but the only thing that spooks me is the acceleration. My first new car had zero acceleration, which made merging on the highway challenging.But, my father let me buy it, despite his misgivings about it being an MGB convertible.Nice to see the careful thought behind the purchase. My first car (used) was a $50 old Chevy Belair. I'm not telling you the year.
I'll see your Chevy Belair and raise you a '69 Olds Delta 88 Royale w/ a 455 engine and a 4 barrel carb. That sucker would pass anything but a gas station. Sometime after the untimely demise of the Olds, I had a Belair too. That one was a 9 passenger wagon. It was officially total lossed by the insurance on 3 different occasions and bought back as salvage each time. It was still kicking when I traded it in on a new car in '82. Through the magic of dealership number shuffling, I got more for it then than I originally paid for it.
They just got wise to this. Worked yesterday, today they want a log in. Pfft.

Interesting idea...Shipping Container houses
Oh, a minor update I suppose.I have decided to retire my mind. After mergers, stress, bad calls, and 30 yrs of living on the powderkeg of wondering if the media was going to crucify me for a call I have decided I don't even want to be a nurse anymore either. I just don't want to even *think* anymore. I am tired.I have enrolled in Massage school and will be done in a year. I can make a good living at it.In a totally strange twist of fate, I ended up dating the media. But I will let you read that story here. I haven't updated in a while, I have been busy.But first, I have known him for years. He has taken very good care of me, and been there when I needed him to be. We keep each others secrets. (stuff that shouldn't be leaked) Who'da thunk it?He took these pictures of a local girl who wants to swim in the para-olympics. He is the Chief Photographer for the county paper. I'm supposed to hate him, right? Scroll down for all the pictures of Breanna. http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2012/01/29/part-1-breanna-sprenger-the-extraordinary-ordinary-girl/ At first he said he felt pity for her, then he said he wanted to do her justice. He did. I told him when he first showed me pics (before anyone else saw them) that he was going to submit them for a Pulwitzer. Now, he is hearing that he should from others. He still doesn't believe in his worth. He is so humble. But he is going to submit it this year.And now Breanna is gaining nationwide attention!! :)The one picture of her he said reminded him of her in utero, where things went wrong...her in the pool, on her side....he is so deep. I just love listening to him talk about his pictures. I feel that carries over TO the pictures.He is also an accomplished wedding photographer.It is 25 min, I don't expect for you to watch it all. We did this one for our wedding expo.www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI-5upJ7PEAAnd our story. He won my heart over when he donated 1200.00 to my horse therapy riding for handicapped kids. I loved him before anyways. http://bbanddd.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/a-bird-and-a-fish-may-fall-in-love-but-where-shall-they-live/
A lecture on Hugh S Pyper on memes, selfish text, and the Bible:http://holtz.org/Library/Philosophy/Metaphysics/Theology/Christianity/The%20Selfish%20Text%20The%20Bible%20and%20Memetics.htm "If 'survival of the fittest' has any validity as a slogan, then the Bible seems a fair candidate for the accolade of the fittest of texts."
