at the 3% ish it's getting, the $5k will be $16k by retirement. ;)
BUT if I can pay off my student loan with it instead, I can save all that interest. (8.5%).

haha Dmills.That's my thing too. I can't lie. Plus what if they ask where it happened? or if they then call said parking garage and ask for proof? Clearly these are all incredibly unreasonable worries, BUT WHAT IF?
I have an irrational fear of getting in trouble, I think.
I confess that whenever someone gives me a hard time about what I eat or drink, it only makes me want to eat or drink it more. I'd be pissed if H hounded me about a food choice all the time.
I judge the crap out of the newbies here. I don't know WTF their problem is. It's hard to explain but they just keep making mistakes that the veterans never made when we were new. I just spent a hell of a long time on a site that someone else already finished because she didn't lock it or status it to herself. Thanks for wasting my time, newb.
Hey! I have a shittastic '99 Acura, it might not be pretty but it's saving my butt over 200 a month on NOT having a car payment FTR, my car's paint is actually fairly decent and there is only 1 teeeeny dent from a cart maybe?
I have another one. I'm annoyed with my friends for not figuring out my baby shower. I wasn't really expecting one (I have half in WI and a few close friends here.) But two offered awhile ago, and it was a nice surprise. But I haven't heard anything since, and now I'm disappointed, because I'm guessing they'll just flake out.
Last year, my car got scratched by someone else's dog and their insurance came out to assess the damage. They gave me $750 (a check made out to me) to get it fixed. I definitely went and got a tiny bottle of car touch-up paint and kept the rest of the money for myself.

Me too Dmills. Mostly because you cant register your car without insurance here so they obviously took the insurance check and used it for something other than fixing the car.

Dmill - I was thinking the same thing. I was so confused I almost had to read it twice.
Adamar - It's actually not mine. It belongs to the family who has thrown all of the "group" couple's showers. Ours was actually a joint shower and since we're the couple not already married, I got all the fun stuff.

Omg, I can't believe I found this and I'm horrified that it exists but it's way too hysterical to not share. This is from a friend's bach party like... hmm... four years ago?
I have to go back and read a bunch of pages, but I confess that I am worried that I have run out of time for another baby. I am 39, and my cycles still haven't come back since the pregnancy. I already feel so old, and I am worried about having a baby after 40. I have 2 months to get knocked up mif I want another one before the big 4-0.
Also, I worry that I won't be a good enough mother to have two that close together. K has been such a good baby, but the odds are we won't be that lucky again. We have NO family nearby, so we have no backup. My parents have to come up from NYC next month because I have jury duty so H won't have to take time off to watch Kieran. My mom would move up here in a minute, but my dad is being a douchecanoe about it.
