    Yeah, that's never a good feeling when those talks start up. Have you ever been on strike?


    (in her best Bill Clinton voice) um... define "strike". Last year, about 3/4 of the teachers took a 'sick day' during contract negotiations. I hate all that, thought. You know, I just want to do my job and be able to have a decent life, be able to go on vacation or whatever once in awhile, not have to get a 'summer job' like a starving college student!

    Finding something nice? A new corvette?

    I'm fine. Just having a annoying little headache.

    Headache? Drink water. Have a little caffine. Pinch the fleshy area between your thumb and index finger (I swear it works sometimes!). Massage your temples...

    Haha....yes.

    I hate when people post their cars for sale and don't bother mentioning that it's a salvaged title. Come on, people! No one's buying that car!

    Is that when... wait, yeah, I have no idea what that is. Something to do with insurance?

    I usually work for me if I pinch a area right above my eyes. It hurts as hell but it's worth it. Usually. But not today

    My understanding is that it's a car that's been totaled in an accident, and then it gets "Salvaged" branded on the title. These people buy the salvaged cars for cheap, then fix them up, and hope and pray that the people buying them don't do a Carfax.

    I think the easiest way to describe it is "refurbished" Like an iPod, sorta...

    Makes sense!! Gotta love the internet!

    Where'd Nate go?

    Anyway, I have shirked responsibility long enough. School is going to start in 7 days whether I'm ready for it or not! So I'm off to get some work done. Good to see you all. Have a great day!

    Nate, I'm leaving, you can come out now!!

    edit: ^ There you are!
