My dad has been referring to it as the "BATV" or "Big-[chull]-TV". Congrats on the successful move, Kay! I hope you and James are happy in your new place of dwelling. Hawai'i! That sounds so fun! Heh. We actually moved a year and a half ago. There was a LOT of work that needed done on the old house before it was sellable, and much of it really couldn't be done while we were still living in it. (We ripped out all the carpets to get to the original hardwood floors of the place. Just try doing that with furniture in the house.) Yes! I am excited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I made it back to Utah without any disasters today! The plane left and arrived pretty much on time, my seatmates were pleasant, and the snow didn't cause any problems for my drive home from the airport. Thank the Stormfather! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird she/her Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I managed to save a lot of money on textbooks for the upcoming semester. A single book I was supposed to buy cost over $200 new, but I found a used copy of the previous edition for 36 cents on Amazon. (Plus $3.99 shipping, but that's nothing compared to $200!) There were several other annoyingly expensive books on the list, but I saved a lot by ordering used copies and, in one case, renting from B&N. Ended up spending ~$75 instead of like $350. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicely done! Now, when you're done, sell them again (I always used half.com) and get back a good portion of that $75, too. :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it possible for a book to cost so much o.O I didn't have to buy a single book during my studies at university... The American schooling system is weeeeird... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're so expensive for the same reason why tuition fees and loan interest rates are so high: because some supervillain enterprising financier looked at how many young people were getting degrees and said, "Heeeeyyyyyy, you know all those twentysomethings getting degrees even though they're having trouble affording ramen? Bet we could make even MORE money off of them." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briar King Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well I got a bit of ice on truck driving around. I've never driven in this before. It's noisy and dif from rain. Lots of tinges. Of course it's to much to ask for actual snow at 34. Man just 20 miles north it's snowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know the one and only time the snow was actually thick enuff to build a snowman was in 1987 when I was in 1st grade. It was epic. I've seen it falling 3 other times but it melted right away on landing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird she/her Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I received a dress in the mail. But it's not just any dress. It's a blue dress that I plan to do some alterations on in order to turn it into a Doctor Strange tunic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
