T - well, y'all are gonna have to get a room for Tuesday night, so I was just thinking you could get one more double for Wednesday night. Assuming it's around 3-4000 pstas.

Oh, and 13000 pstsas is a lot more than I thought it was when I made that reservation. Oh well.

1000 is approx. $5.

The reason I figured it out was a car rental was like 241 dollars and like 42,000 pstas. So it sort of works out. Cause like 1 dollar is like 200 pstas.

Did any of those jags email you? I just read the thread.

See, I dont' think Meg is a train wreck, in so much that it's just so BADly written and total bullshit that you have to read it.

-- Anonymous, March 01, 2001

I think that's what makes it a train wreck, though. And really, her grammar is more or less ok - it's just that she writes in that awful condescending tone, and with a style that's more appropriate for a 70- year-old. Plus, she writes about her lawn ornaments.

No one emailed me, as far as I can tell.

24, 23 - it's all the same thing. The CU offered me 14%! I was shocked. I mean, no way, Jose. What hurts, too, is that I tend to change jobs annually. And motherfucking Sprint.

Bank of America nas offered my 9% - that should be confirmed today. If they give me that, I'll take it - it's easy enough to refinance through the CU when they run one of their 7% specials in the spring, and, they absorb the refinancing costs.

Just a pain in the ass, is all. I don't need a cosigner, which is good, though.

I like Rob's journal.

I go back and forth on Dana. She speaks her mind, and that's fine, but I think there's a point where you can't justify being an asshole by saying "that's just my opinion ... deal with it!" I mean, I have negative opinions on people that I choose not to air in public because there's no benefit to doing so. She lacks that filter.

I think Michelle nailed the issue in the Advice thread on the squishy forum when she insinuated that there are some things people should keep to themselves.

Both of them seem more cantankerous on forums than they are in their journals. Rob and Beth used to get into it every now and then in the old Xeney forum. Those battles were always entertaining.

-- Anonymous, March 01, 2001
