got a call from the HR guy at hayward labs this morning (had a job interview with them a couple of weeks back). talked to him for a bit, the position he had originally interviewed me for had been filled but they had another open up, that is higher paying by roughly $2.00 an hour, much closer to the wage i was looking for. plus all the same company benifits, and it's 2nd shift (which is my preferred working hours). i'm excited to say the least, now i just gotta kick this dang cold!

Haha I didn't even catch that one... a 2 YEAR lease. Also considering a 3 year depending on expenses.

I think I'm leaning toward Black Granite Metallic or Cyber Gray Metallic for color, and leather interior.

Clue me in guys! Why would anyone ever lease a car? I have never figured that one out. Wouldn't want to be just throwing my money away with nothing to show for it. Maybe I am missing something.

Seems like a lot of us are sick. It is like synchronized coughing around here.

If you want a guaranteed different car every 2-3 years, it's cheaper to pay a low monthly rate for a lease, than a higher rate for an auto-loan.

Good afternoon everyone . Just rolled out of bed about 30 mins ago. I have one more nite at work. Then I'm off till MAY 2013 !. I didn't do that much last night. I think i' might do less tonight . It hasn't hit me yet as how close we are to leaving for a wammer climate in 7 days I'm sure we'll both start getting all excitied this weekend. Then were suppose to have everything layed out in the spare room. On what were taking with us. I swear I need a pick up truck for all we need.. maybe when we get back I'll look for one. Talk about leasing a car! I did that back when I worked at G.M. But I never had to put and ca$h down. And the salesman I was working with. Not sure how he was doing this. But about a dozen of us got cars from him for yrs. I had 2 New cars or trucks a yrs. There was a time i had 2 brand new Suburbans at once. NO $$$ down. Wife had the white one. I had a black one. Both were fully eq'ed leather every toy on it. $ 350 a month. But that was back in the mid 90's. Did that for close to 6 yrs. Theirs more to this story then I can say. But it was great for us that dealt with him. Good leases are ones with NO $$ down. Only thing that hurts is the miles you can put on them. If you keep leaseing then it might be Ok if your only putting $$ down once. Then i'd keep leaseing a car every 2 or 3 yrs. Also your insunace is higher on a lease car.Plus I think you can buy miles. Not sure on that. Ok almost dinner time. Good luck with the lease. C ya......

Evening all - went to Best Buy last night and got my phone - Galaxy S lll for $50 woo hoo. I was up till 1am setting it all up - much nicer than my Droid X.
Sapphire now has his snow shoes on - ready for the snow that's coming - don't know for sure how much we are going to get. I will try and take some pics the next time he is clean and it's nice out.
