I would consider getting one of those massage chairs, but only from a furniture store ~4 hours away from one specific salesperson, if she was still working there, and she still didnā€™t have the dog she wanted. Might even pay for shipping, if she got a cut on that. ---

The el cheapo digital temperature/humidity gauges I have told me now for a few years that the humidity in the house is barely 25%, and I would supplement the 20-yr old whole house furnace humidifer with a humidifer in the basement. That one thought the humidity was less than 25, and its old and noisy so I replaced it with a bigger newer quieter model. I turn it on, and it says the humidity is 39. It occurs to me to turn on the dehumidifier in the next room and that reads 35. Suddenly I remember that I have a tiny analog humidifer and that is reading 33. So the problem isnā€™t as bad as I thought, though I might want the numbers a bit higher than that. ---

Itā€™s 4+ months later and my car should arrive within a week. The price of my new car is locked in and the official offer from CarMax is now $19,600 for my used car - $200 MORE than I paid for it. The dealer offered $17,500. Sounds like car prices are much higher in Florida and Alabama. ---

The sales guy told me he knew a friend with a second home in FL who put down a deposit to buy some sort of Ford electric SUV. He calls them up two months later wanting to verify the price for the car is now $18K more than he had been offered, and they said yes. He then offered them $10K to buy the car from him, so he made a sweet profit without ever taking possession of the car. Crazy. Iā€™d hang on to my car if I knew it would appreciate $500 per month, vehicles arenā€™t traditionally classified as ā€œappreciating assetsā€ though. > [@Mathman](#): > > Is this what youā€™d call, um, carbitrage? šŸ¤£ ---

Kind of weird that generally when you do medical tests and they come back negative, thatā€™s usually considered a positive thing. Normally when you get a negative result, like your driverā€™s test or an actuarial exam, you failed - but medical tests, you get a positive result and it usually means you failed something. Or is it that if you get a negative test, you failed but _you want to fail_ in which case, youā€™re always hoping to fail and youā€™re disappointed if you donā€™t? ---

Didnā€™t they go through this in some cheesy 80s movie with a pregnancy test? For Keeps, maybe? When the pregnancy test came back positive the (unwed, teenage, not wanting to have a baby) girl was like ā€œpositiveā€¦ thatā€™s good, right?ā€ Or something close to that. ---

My crazy aunt insists sheā€™s dating one of the Backstreet Boys. She lives in a trailer park with who knows how many mangy dogs and cats. Why doesnā€™t he get her out of that place? You canā€™t talk her out of this. Itā€™s sad, but also amusing. ---

Is there an AJ? Did I say Backstreet Boys? That was wrong. Itā€™s New Kids on the Block. At least they are closer to her age. ---

I ran track w Danny for a few years. I was like 11-14, he was a year older. Good dude. His younger brother too. He lived around the corner from my cousins. He appears to be in great shape and that life has been good to him. I have had no contact w him since 1986 or so. But if I see him, Iā€™ll put in a good word for your mom. ---
