POPCORN! Sorry I just had to throw that one in there. Tonight I am going to watch the new Wallace and Gromit feature "A Matter of Loaf or Death" tonight cause I just got it in the mail today from Amazon! It only took almost 10 months to get it here in the states (they showed it in England on Christmas Eve on BBC1 or something like that)!

Whuz happenin all? Amy, How's the new job going???
JJ, what'd the unemployment office say?? I was off for 2 1/2 months earlier this year. Took a job with a $10 an hour pay cut, but I'm working. Looks like the Solstice is up for sale. Just can't afford the payment any more. MAYBE we can break even with what I owe, but I doubt it. Just can't afford 4 vehicles and 2 car payments.
We're setting up a booth at a local store this weekend. Selling some old stuff. Antique kinda stuff, collectibles. Salt and pepper shakers and the such. NOT REALLY! LOL! Cleaning house. Biggest thing we have is an autographed Red Skelton painting. Probably won't sell it there, but we're gonna try. Got some things going to ebay, and maybe even a few Monte parts I'll put here. Got a NICE set of Pioneer 3-way 6x9's and a 12" JL Audio sub in a box sitting in the garage.
I think I'll go pop some popcorn.

That sux Wayne, you put so much into the Solstice. My job is going well (I too took a big paycut) and I think I will be getting health insurance, it is kinda expensive - about $350 a month but I need it and I have no idea when I will be getting married LOL! If I am in a money crunch my Dad is always there to help me which is very reassuring (I almost never need borrow money from him but it's good to know he's there). My car payments on Silver are also very manageable. If I kept the Mini I would have gone bankrupt.

Didi someone say Popcorn?



Wayne that really sux that you have to sell your Solstice. But hard times calls for hard measures. I have a feeling that when i go back to work, i'llbe taking a paycut, but i cant take one taht is too deep. Otherwise, we wont make it. Maybe i'll sell the Monte and see if that helps. But thats only as a last resort.

I know Lisa will kill me, but if worse comes to worse, i might sell my Fender guitar. Its from 1980 and spent most of its life in its case.

As far as unemployment, i would know anything for another 3-4 weeks. SHEESH!!

I LOVE WALLACE AND GROMIT! You need to make me a copy. :P I will be your bestest friend!

I hope everything goes well for everybody.. I hate hearing that my friends are going through tough financial times.

Wayne, PM me about those pioneers. I got a speaker in the back that's crackalackin. LOL. Dont know why it is, but at least it's not making that annoying whining noise anymore when I accelerate. And I might want the sub too... or the amp. I know ups will kill on shipping though.... and right now I gotta get my freakin front end looked at.
