My wife uses some kooky search engine where if you search 3.2 million times and watch elventy billion commercials they will send you a 10 dollar Amazon gift card. Great use of your time. Even she says that the results are nowhere near Google accurate, but she still plugs away, hoping to have 100 bucks for Amazon by Christmas.Anyway, she is wanting to find out how to do some kind of project last night and starts to type into the search bar "how to". The auto complete takes over and the VERY first result is "how to make a dog mount you". She was not amused by the result, less amused by my "sweet" comment after she told me. I love Internet.
:lmao:
Is that one of her love languages?

Those things are ####ing garbage. Just put on Sesame Street.
I've heard the same thing. They've done studies that show they don't help your kid at all. :shrug:
All we're doing is trying to hypnotize the kids so we can get some stuff done around the house. Baby Einstein works for this

I'm pretty pleased that not one of my friends on FB has posted any crap about this. :bowtie:

Two things I know little to nothing about, but feel like I should know more: Casey Anthony and the Women's World Cup.
Women that if you try hard enough you can talk yourself into believing they're attractive, getting more media coverage than they deserve. Now you're up to speed on both.
Casey Anthony trial = Chewbacca Defense without the laughs

Julie Clark is sneaky hot.
Very true. I remember watching those things in the middle of the night trying to get my son back to sleep, and making sure to look up at the right moment to see sweet, sweet Julie.

I guess I participated.
 
I'm a little, tiny bit drunk still this morning at work. What was the occasion last night you're asking? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I sat on the couch and watched TV with the wife while drinking way too much vodka.

I need to reevaluate my life.

Last gas crisis a few years ago, I bought a $45K Dodge Larmaie for 19.5K. So next spike in gas prices would a good time to negotiate on gas guzzzlers like a Suburban. THe internet is your friend. Find your best price anywhere in the country then use that to negotiate with dealers as physically close as possible. I found a comparably priced Dodge Ram in Lafayette La and got the local dealer to match. Do not go in and talk to a salesman. Negotiate your price before you go in the door. THat's their home court and they will abuse and defile you there. Everything they say is a lie. But if you have the cash or financing in line, you can control the transaction.Check out areas where local economy is severely depressed to find dealers more willing to negotiate.

Do not trade in your car. Sell it to Carmax or on Craigslist.

Decide what you want and what you will pay and do not settle for less.

You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you can.

On a new car you should have no problems flying out of town to buy one. Any dealership must honor the warranty. Before the Ram, the three previous cars I bought were in Denver, Santa Fe and and some backwater town in Tennessee.

I like road trips and it give you a chance to become intimate with your new ride.

I have four sisters and I just realized that I don't really like any of them. :cry:

I just wrote a short paragraph about why on each of them. Considered you nosy little notebookers and decided to keep it to myself, but

I could really vent right now!!

 
just got back from Home Depot. No hot dogs anywhere in sight.
The HD on North Avenue has a hot-dog stand, and the hot dogs are indeed delicious.I noticed that the Memphis HDs don't have hot dogs and lodged a complaint about this months ago. (My complaint was lodged with Mr. krista, so no corrective action has been taken.)

The basic principles of economics dictate that his failure to supply the wiener you're demanding result in a third party stepping in to fill the void. As one who believes in obeying these principles...

The only vehicles you can get 15% below invoice are those no one wants. If you get a popular mazda version like a 3 or 6, no way you'll get 15% below invoice. Sales guy was right, they will go out of business doing that. Sure there are dealer hold backs and manufacturer incentives, but these likely total below 10%. Also, I don't necessarily agree that not trading in your car is a good strategy.1-Dealer is there to make a purchase, you don't need to wait around for months on end waiting2-You can deduct the trade in value to the sales cost, thus lowering the sales tax on the vehicle3-Do your due dilligence before hand and trading in makes fine sense. Last car I traded in was a mazda 6. I searched online for similar types/condition and mileage. Search auto trader and edmunds, etc... I found the range of my car to be 6k low end, to 9k high end. I got 8k for my trade. No way would I have been able to sell my car for 8k within a day, week, or month at that price. Dealer mark up on a used vehicle is decent, people pay more to buy a certified pre-own, or a dealer warrantied used car. I would have been lucky to get 6k for my car to be honest, it needed some work. Dealer spends 200 bucks on parts, they already have the labor in house, and they turn around and sell the car for 9,500, that's a tidy profit for them. Win/Win/Win as far as I'm concerned.

How many hotdogs can I make out of 600 pounds of menapausal human females?

 
I have to give a 5-7 minute speech for Toastmasters tomorrow. I have no idea what topic to speak on. I always procrastinate on writing my speech, but this has been the worst.

Come on...you are dying to share your write-ups on your sisters. :popcorn:If it helps, I'll share why I don't much like my brother: he's a dickmitten.
 
Okay, taking sis #1 to the UCLA emergency room now that she has deliberately wrecked her ears to expedite her divorce and fixed her makeup just right, two hours in the process, and for the hot doctor 20 years younger than her she's been infatuated with for months. :rolleyes:

Any Los Angelinos want 25 pound increments of dead ripe heirloom tomatoes be at 3rd St. Promenade around 2 today when the market closes and look for the hand trucks loaded with 25 pound boxes of tomatoes. I'll tell them to give a box or four to anyone who says 'Chaos' if I am not there, but you have to wait for the market to close. I had them wholesaled for a grand, but I also have sisters so now I have a grand less and can fill a pool with marinara. :hot:

MAYBE TRUE FOR SOME CARS, BUT NOT NECESSARILY IN ALL MARKETS. YOU MUST REALLY LOOK AND SEARCH AROUND TO FIND OUT. TRUCKS SELL MUCH EASIER IN THE SOUTH THAN THEN NORTH. BUT SOUTHERN DEALERS ORDER MANY MORE THAN NORTHERN DEALERS AND MORE LIKELY TO HAVE EXCESS STOCK. MANY AREAS HAVE INVENTORY TAX THAT THE DEALER MUST PAY AT CERTAIN TIMES, INCENTIVIZING THEM TO LOSE MONEY (ON PAPER). WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS A CONFLUENCE OF FACTORS THAT CREATE A SITUATION MOST BENEFICIAL TO YOUR PURCHASE. THIS JUST INVOLVES A LOT OF LOOKING AND CALLING TO DEALERSHIPS. ALSO, MANY DEALERSHIPS WILL GIVE A SMOKING DEAL TO AN OUT OF TOWNER, WHOM THEY KNOW WILL NEVER DARKEN THEIR DOORWAY WITHOUT GREAT PRICING,

Also, I don't necessarily agree that not trading in your car is a good strategy.

1-Dealer is there to make a purchase, you don't need to wait around for months on end waiting

2-You can deduct the trade in value to the sales cost, thus lowering the sales tax on the vehicle

3-Do your due dilligence before hand and trading in makes fine sense. Last car I traded in was a mazda 6. I searched online for similar types/condition and mileage. Search auto trader and edmunds, etc... I found the range of my car to be 6k low end, to 9k high end. I got 8k for my trade.

IF THE DEALER IS GIVING YOU 8000 FOR YOUR CAR THAT WHOLESALES FOR 6000, HE MADE UP THAT MISSING 2000 IN WHAT HE CHARGED YOU FOR THE NEW CAR. WHY DO YOU BELIEVE THE DEALER WILL NOT "LOSE" 15% ON A NEW CAR TRANSACTION, BUT DO SO IN THE USED PART?
You make some vaild points- esp. for extremely popular cars, but my other comments are in CAPS above.

Here's my attempt at translation:His oldest sister has to go to the ER today because some sort of plastic surgery she did on her face went wrong. She also is either in or nearing the process of divorce and to make matters more complex, has a little crush on a physician who is much younger than her. Chaos hates all of these things, causing his eyes to roll around in annoyance.Chaos also sells fantastic heirloom tomatoes in 25 pound boxes in what I imagine is some sort of Farmers' Market. After the market shuts down around 2pm today, any FBG in the area who could use 25 to 100 pounds of tomatoes can get them ABSOLUTELY FREE if they just drop the word "Chaos" to the man on 3rd and Promenade. I'm guessing his sister's episode in conjuction with the action of his other sisters has caused him to miss out on a much larger transaction for tomatoes today, and thus, instead of unloading them all at once for a grand, he is stuck selling them piece-meal and will give them away to iFriends so they don't spoil. He is also contemplating filling a swimming pool with Marinara sauce, which would probably be the siren to lure Shuke down to LA.
 
I have never purchased a new car. I also suck at negotiating prices for used cars.
i've done pretty good there. Every car i've bought except one i bought a certified used from a dealer. Basically my approach was to take their sticker price and counter offer $10,000 while at the same time letting them know i have $5-10,000 cash in pocket and preapproved bank financing. They've all come down to at or near my offer, every single one of them except Honda. When in bought my wife a Honda Odyssey they laughed at me. They only came off like 2500 for that one.
