Just in case anyone is curious, my baby is the cutest baby ever.

I do believe you're right, Okie.

Then why don't you post a picture of her, instead of that recycled Gerber's baby?

Mr. Hedge, thank you for your examples and the book recommendation.
It would be interesting to explore further. I have conflicted feelings about the rat race and my role in it. On one hand, I'd love the freedom of being a hobo with a pillowcase on a stick with everything I need in it. On the other hand, I'd miss my books, my dishes, the animals...
I wish I could find a nice 900-sq foot bungalow built in the 30's that is in a nice neighborhood. Some of my happiest times were in my grandparents small bungalow in west Los Angeles. Unfortunately, you can no longer go into the neighborhood even in the daylight.

Since I am posting links.... If anyone likes Springsteen, this looks incredibly cool:

Just a caution for everyone: if you buy something requiring a deposit on eBay, you are better off paying for the whole thing via Paypal then putting down a deposit using the eBay protection plan and then paying the balance through Paypal. Both the eBay protection plan and Paypal use Paypal, but only Paypal refunds the entire amount. If a problem develops and you ask for the deposit refund, they only refund 50%.
We bought a vehicle for the school using eBay's buyer protection plan. It's a joke. Had we paid the whole bill right away using Paypal, we'd have all our money back. As is, we're out $250. (It was a $500 deposit). When I pointed out that a clever seller can sell crap and even if he loses the big claim can continue to pocket $250, that's not a bad deal.
Gave the worse feedback I could, but I'm guessing he'll just change user names. Long story, longer than I've got here, but just beware the deposit/buyer protection plan gimmick. If something goes wrong, you still get stuck for $250.

What was the problem?

It wasn't in near the condition as described. It clearly stated, "new Cooper tires," and the tires on the vehicle you could see the air through what was left of the rubber. Several items listed as "new" clearly weren't, leading one to believe the items we couldn't see were bogus also. My driver sent to retrieve the vehicle in Ohio refused it, and I back his judgment.

Ohio! Are there no car dealerships in Illinois?

Springsteen is awful. Could he ever sing?

Just watched an old Miami Vice episode co-starring Bill Russell the Celtic. Man, was he a bad actor.
On that show, that's really saying something.

Hey, the flamingos were solid, man. And Elvis was excellent.

Curt is a bigot. What does it matter if Bill Russell was a Celtic, a Scot, an Irishman, a German, or an African-American?
Some things don't need to be mentioned.

He was an African-American-Celtic.
As opposed to Bill Russell the Dodger who was a Anglo-Saxon-Dodger.

I always get those two mixed up.
