I don't know or care what it might be, but I know I'll appreciate when the rent checks start rolling in :p

I would think one would be more on top on their business. I am sure the details would explain why you are on autopilot.

pfft, moms dealing with it not me because I'm too lazy. If it were up to me, it'd never get done. The less I know the better!

awesome, timewarped above the post I was replying to.

GPS unit for car if I get the job I'm interviewing for in a week-ish. Should be lots of driving, so I may even get my own beater.

I finally bought a car. Thought the dealers around here were never gonna realize price sells.

Same here. Bought a XD .45 compact last year and want to get out more (only 200 rounds through it) but ammo is hard to find and expensive. My friend got a steal at a local walmart when he bought 1000 .40 for $270 but so far nothing for .45...

Mine will be multiple small purchases next month.

Getting my laptop fixed, stereo/speakers installed, new center console. All of that should run me a few hundred easily.

That's my purchase for the rest of this year.

it'll probably be a sony powershot at some point this spring... my old P&S digital camera broke a couple months ago and my SLR is just too big to carry around.

We had one that went the other way. He just couldn't curb his enthusiasm, about the same price tag. Isn't he cute though?


Anyway bought the garbage disposal today so we're good on the expensive stuff for awhile though we're still waiting for a few more shoes to drop from a recent trip to the ER.

Nothing planned. Too scared right now.

<--- Works in automotive and have heard too many "plant closing rumors".
