The new ones aren't too bad, but I still want the 65, 66, or 67! That was the real car (aka vehicle)!

My first car was a '65 hardtop. Metallic blue, dangerously close to carolina blue actually. :o

My first car was boring. '88 Camry, light blue, but not Carolina blue. It was a good college car though. My dad bought it new, then gave it to me in '93 when I went to college, so it was in really good shape. My second car, which I bought new as a graduation present to myself when I graduated from Duke in '97, is my british racing green with tan interior '97 BMW Z3, which I still have. It's got about 45K miles on it, and it's in pretty good shape. I love that car.

OK, I thought about this earlier. We need a "What was your first car?" thread. I'll start it momentarily!

A man true to his word...

Slow night. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was Friday night or something...

Or both!

And yet, here we are. I'm actually rather enjoying a quiet night at home. I got pretty rowdy last night, and my brother is out of town at a wedding, so the house, television, and La-Z-Boy are mine.

Well, ok...the La-Z-Boy is half Walter's at the moment. I'm pretty well certain that there is no more perfect person + dog chair in the world than this one.

I had a full day. I was in court for 2 hours this morning, and then went back at 1:30. We didn't get out until 7:30 tonight. I'm exhausted, and all I was doing was observing and listening to a case similar to one I'm handling.

Did/will it help your case any?

So get this. My cell rings this afternoon. I don't know the # but it's a 626 area code so I think maybe it's the new apartment complex, so I answer it. Turns out it's the woman who's a friend of a friend telling me the sale of her condo fell through and am I still interested in renting it... ugh.

I decided to stick with my original gut instinct and go with the one I posted earlier. I for once went with my gut, plus I'd be out $199 for the now non-refundable deposit if I'd changed my mind anyway. Also, she is looking to move back to LA County in a few years, so I don't want to have to go through this again if she winds up moving back.

(Honestly, if I could take the kitchen & bed & baths from the one I posted and the living & dining from her place, that would be awesome. LOL)

I am glad OZ picked up on that "1st Car" Opportunity, Wilson Nice play, Oz - you are so damn quick!

I have got my little man bathed and he is out and put my daughter to sleep also! Both out by 930pm! Tomorrow is a big day, cutting down and trimming trees, my girl is coming , planting squash and zucchini plants after I till up a little area I have allotted for them, my girl is coming , then some lunch, then meeting bjornolf to play at the playground and then some supper, then some swimming and hopefully the kids will be worn out by then...... and I think the adults will also be!

Even on this board, I self redacted my entire post in asking a question about the above post!

Hope y'all have fun!

YES! It was extremely helpful. I'm hoping that these people win their case, and then if I don't get my case settled, I plan on setting my case in front of this judge.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do if these people lose their case. I'll have to come up with some novel theory.

I meant to ask, Cathy, what type of lawyer are you and what kind of cases do you specialize in? Are you kind of a lone wolf, or do you work for a big firm? If so, are you a partner or close to it in said firm yet? I'm always fascinated by how all that stuff works. ;)

K68 and I are painting the ceiling the living room, then we'll paint the walls. Hopefully by tomorrow night, my living room will be done (painting, furniture arranging, and decorating).

Painting (house painting) sucks. I loathe it with a passion.

Maybe you should just use a smaller brush. ;)

I was out showing off the new wheels.

The auto salvage folks called my home number on Friday so I the outgoing wheels are sitting in the work parking lot. There is a bit of sadness in seeing it w/o plates ready to go off to the great parking lot in the sky. Maybe even a few . But then I'll get in the new wheels and be again.
