Did she have an advice column?

I hate being unoriginal.

miho9000 said:

Ooohhh.

Well, probably 'cause you're brother outted you as a non-relative, you won't get a call. Sorry. Otherwise, I was gonna say probably Tuesday. Tuesday is one of those good in-between days for returning calls and such.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

I didn't mean that!

I like the idea.

I have to buy a car but I don't want to, but I need to, but I can't afford it, but I can't afford not to.

What do I do?

HereToRockYourWorld said:

I geuss he ain't gonna call back then Its aight, thanks anyway!

2the9s said:

Thanks! Let me know if you need any advice.

Yeah, my price-range has dropped. I either need to buy a new car or something for under, like, $2000. And fast. It's gonna get cold enough within a few days that my car won't start. I'm gonna be on the bus very, very soon in the FREEZING cold.
I thought a car loan for a mid-range would be easy, but no one wants to finance anything (for a reasonable interest rate) but a new or close to new car.

I just have to get off my ass make a decision and do it. I'm just sooooo scared. If I go with a new car, it effectively changes my life as I know it. No more trips. I really won't be able to afford much of anything for a few years and I hate the idea of giving up the things I like most in life for something I could care less about. I hate cars.
But if I go the cheaper route, I could find myself back here again quite soon.

I hate money and cars! I hate making decisions! I hate being an adult!

ok, that's enough.

See, I really didn't want the advice. I just wanted to whine.

hahaha it must be hard being an old person like all you guys

Some of those were under 2k, actually.

I know, financing used cars is hard. It sucks.

Here's a thought. Do you think you still want to get back to school eventually? If so, I'd say get the old 2k car, know that it won't go forever, continue to travel and live it up for a while, and then commit to school (which isn't that hard to finance). Your cheap car might die while you're there, but you could probably be carless while you're in school.

If you've decided not to do school, take the leap and get yourself a really good new(ish) car. Your location and job make it damn hard to live without one. Eventually you'll be making more money, you'll pay it off, and you'll get back to your fabulous life. And you'll have a good car that you can maintain and keep going foreva.


Oh, wait, I just got to the end, you just wanted to whine. Sorry.


Money sucks, and cars suck extra hard. Sorry.

miho9000 said:

It is.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Thanks, but the school angle just brings a whole 'nother thing into it. I have such a horrible tnedency to drag my toes around things and I just don't make committments to be miserable in the short term for the long term goal. I have no discipline. I need to learn some.

And I saw that a few were cheap. And I think that's what I have to do. I just have to do it quick!! Hopefully by this time Saturday I'll be drivin' a new car!

CarrieMpls said:

I'm with you on the discipline thing, chickadee. Which is why I'm gonna be 40 by the time I have a real job.

Good luck! I hope you find something you love.

Oh I know, at this time I dont blame my mom for much at all...after all she isnt my Mom really ( you know what I mean ! ) she is the walking dis-ease.

It is sad and tough, though being a daily caregiver for her over the past 5 yrs i have learned much ...the alzhiemers support groups and association are a help

I am always thankful daily for each blessing that comes into my life

thank you for you words of support

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Thanx It is something I make effort towards daily

I feel kinda bad lately. Cuz I've been thinking...
well... ya see my school is split in 2, CBG (center-based gifted) and regular ed.
First off I feel like a nerd, not that that bothers me but, it's just a nugget of info since I'm in the CBG program...

The prob is, CBG generally cosists of, well, white people. And since I'm hispanic-asian I feel racist for not having any other friends of different races due to my environment...How should I solve this issue? Cuz I really due feel a bit guilty for having so many...white friends....

miho9000 said:

Do you mind for your own sake, or just because you're worried about what other people will think?

If it's just about other people, screw 'em. That's their issue.

But if you feel like you're missing something by not having more diverse friends, are there any sort of activities outside of school that you could participate in that would be more diverse?

I know how you feel. When I was young I had a pretty diverse group of friends. . .Korean, Vietnamese, black, hispanic. . . and then I moved to the sticks for high school and I felt guilty 'cause all of my friends. . . . . .yep, ALL of them where white. But that's 'cause you could count the non-white kids at my school on one hand. Wasn't my faut, and it was dumb to feel bad about it. Now, I'm an adult, and my friends are more diverse again, but I care a lot less. If you've got good friends and you're happy with them, be glad for them and don't worry about it.

I'm scared of the telephone. Make it so that I'm not scared please.

what should I do about this almost gone bottle of chandon and OJ

Oh, uh, you should drop it like it's hot.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Aaaah... I see. Hmm... never thought about it like that, Cuz I am kinda worried what others may think. Thanks!

miho9000 said:

No matter who your friends are, there will always be somebody to take issue with you, and them. Just make sure you have friends who are good to/for you. That's all that really counts.

I want to get married even though more than 50% of marriages, including my own parent's marriage, end in divorce AND everywhere I look I see horrible relationships.

Am I crazy? because this is really starting to bug me.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Does that still require talking to people though? I don't like the way phones ring and demand that you take action rather than walk away and pretend you don't hear it. Also, I don't really like people all that much. It's not that I hate them, I just don't see what all the fuss is about. Can't I just wave at the phone or something and carry on with what I'm doing?
