RN I'm wondering whether there is a thread for car buyers? We're starting to shop looking to capitalize on the March tax sales, but would like some input on mid-sized hybrids.

RN don't think so Gal, but you could start one in the buyers banter area.

RN you're welcome. And good luck with the search! We're Honda fans (Darren's civic is 14 years old, gets 300 miles per tank, and after having everything possible rebuilt or replaced 2 years ago runs great.) Other than the clutch there wasn't anything wrong with it, but we figured do what we could to get as much out of it cuz it's a good little car. Wish I could help with the hybrid, before we bought my minivan I really really wanted one, but after looking at them realized there wasn't one that'd be big enough for our needs (carpools plus having the nieces/nephews on a pretty regular basis.) That was almost 4 years ago though and I think they're a bit bigger now, plus I think your nieces/nephews are a bit older than mine and you won't have to worry about how to squish 3 infant carriers/car seats into the back seat, lol.

RN nope not at all. No infant carriers, unfortunately. I love having babies around, at least for an hour or so at a time LOL.

RN babies are the best...when they go home, lol. My nieces spent the night the other night. The baby is 15 months old and I love her to pieces. Right around 4 am though I found myself near tears when she just wouldn't go to sleep! I really love my kidlets, and I really love babies, but you couldn't pay me enough to go through that again.

LOLOL!! RN have you ever noticed that the minute you get a baby around all efforts begin to get the baby to go to sleep? Because that's always how it happens with me, even if the babies are being fun and sweet.

Rn, which isn't exactly Rn, more like yesterday, I had the best surprise. My best friend moved to TN right after hurricane Katrina, she called me yesterday to chat. The thing is, she wasn't chatting from TN where I assumed she was, she was on my front porch. After we hung up she came walking through my front door!

RN I am still laughing after getting off the phone with my mom. She has a big cockatoo that says a lot of words, and when they sit down for dinner he always says "Hungry, huh?". Well over the weekend they were watching Jurassic Park, and the bird was sitting on the back of the couch during the movie. It got to the part where the dinosaur grabbed a guy by his legs and started shaking him and eating him. And my mom's bird looked at the tv and said "Hungry huh?"...LOL

Right now, awwww Biloxi! I love that. My best friend from junior high and high school just found me on Facebook and it has been like no time whatsoever has passed. Our lives took completely different paths after high school and we lost touch, but now it's been so great to have her back. We've been "talking" up a storm! Naja, funny!

RN my phone hasn't stopped ringing since this morning. Why won't people leave me alone??? None of it's even important or friends/family wanting to chat! Though one did crack me up, I got a collections call from Kota's school (last week it was Caleb's) cuz yesterday she didn't take money to put in her lunch account and she owes a whopping 85 cents!

Goddessatlaw, I see where the green car of the year is a DIESEL Jetta. We had a 2003 Diesel Jetta and loved it. We routinely got at least 51 MPG with 4 adults in it. Since 2004, in California you could not purchase a car diesel--only pickup trucks. The Diesel Jetta Sportwagen (thinking "en" with the Volkswagen spelling) is really a good looking car and gets phenomenal mileage. Honestly, who would have thought a "green" car would be a diesel? And now you can buy a diesel car in California again!! That's my next car. We have a 99 VW beetle that is a diesel and even with almost 150,000 miles on it, it's been a dream. Our 99 gas VW beetle only gets 28 mpg to the diesel's 51.

RN, I am watching the Senate vote on the California Budget Bills. I should be on way to work but can't stop watching. Since it is work related I don't feel to bad. Boy it has been a long weekend/week/months coming.

RN my friend Smoothie is in the middle of his surgery for his colon cancer and I'm hoping all's well.... It's a three hour procedure and it's about the halfway mark now.

RN, the plumber just left. Had to roto-root our sewer because we had poop coming up through the floor drain. Even though it's 25 degrees outside with really stong winds, the windows are open in the house to air out the stench.
