HELP!

So, we need some help.  We are considering getting another car.  We need one coming up here and started browsing this past week.  Let me just say car salesmen are really not my favorite people.   They really are as MEH as they're rumored to be.  And Brandon and I must look like idiots... do they really think we don't know that they are struggling?  

-That "this" deal will be gone in March, but wait they'll check with the supervisor to make sure it really ends this month... hello imaginary person on the other line... "you sure they aren't extending the deal into March, ok I'll let them know"... psshhh ya right.  
-Or we could give you this ____ steal of a deal with 3.9 APR financing but only if we sign tonight.  3.9 APR financing, right now??  Really?  
-Or "wow, I've been working here for a while and I've never seen him offer that price, it must be cause it's late on Saturday but that's a steal... wow I've really never seen that"

We're young but not stupid.  

We've heard that if you are a Costco member that there are Costco deals at dealerships... which no one can seem to make appear on paper cause the deal they're offering is lower than the Costco deal would be.  Then why can't we see the Coscto paper work?

Anyway, the plan is to "practice" this whole routine at a few dealerships that we don't want to buy from, and then go from there. 

 We'd really really love some tips... on buying cars, on financing, on salesman... Can you help?  We're looking at a Corolla or Civic or maybe an Elantra.

Differences continued

Brandon just saw that last post and thinks Phoebe from Friends is pretty funny but didn't even chuckle once, as I laughed and laughed at the scene from Father of the Bride.

So funny to me... the clips and the situation.



Oh, and I'd also like to point out to the public (well, whoever might read this) and my other half (who this post is really meant for) that I am aware that a lot of my blog (and verbal) sentences start with "and" "so" "well" or "but" and that I use a lot of ... and ---'s and sound effects.

I'd also like to acknowledge that I know that sentences aren't supposed have those things in them, be run on sentences (or run on and on and on sentences in my case) or start with prepositions or filler words--- if you care anything about grammar.  Which I usually don't.   :)

I usually realize that I'm making mistakes.  Usually.  :)

We're all different in our own special ways (obviously I'm included in this statement)

So, I think that it's funny that everyone has different senses of humors... wait... sense of humors, senses of humor.... ???  OK, I think it's funny that we all have a different sense of humor. 

I'm glad that everyone is different, it makes things exciting and crazy and frustrating and unique.  I think it's so funny when only some people laugh at something and other people don't even offer up a little giggle.

So it may be a joke, or it may just be a situation that's funny, or a person, or even an item... sometimes I'll be watching a scene of a movie, or just watching people's faces and their expressions, or hear something random and I'll just bust up laughing out loud when it's obvious that no one else on the planet thinks whatever I'm laughing about is remotely funny.

I'm glad that we are all different.  

Well this clip is HiLaRiOuS!  At least to me.  I can't even explain it without bustin up.  And I know that can be annoying... So, I'm not going to tell you about it and lose it before I finish, I'll show you...

Sorry if this is not your cup of tea...  And I know that Friends isn't the most morally appropriate show sometimes, but there are a few scenes I've seen that just render me unable to speak or even breath and this is one...

  


So funny!


That reminded me of another one....this is another of my top ten almost-pee-my-pants-favorite-moments.  It's from Father Of The Bride 2.  You might have to watch the whole movie to really get the essence of Frank but this just cracks me right up.

Lucky catch editing... So I posted this other funny moment I just mentioned  but right after realized that someone who posted it on YouTube had named it something--- that I wouldn't have... Anyway, I found the same clip but this one is 10 min long instead of 2... If you want the funniest part with no background, just watch from 5 minutes to 6 minutes or click HERE for the short version on YouTube.

How many states can you name in 10 minutes?




So, it is after midnight.  I should be asleep.  I have to leave my house for work in less than 7 hours and what am I doing... testing my 5th grade knowledge.  Or is it 4th?  






Well, Brandon and I went to one of those sites...  and it times you as you name as many of the states that you can in ten minutes.  "Ten minutes is a long time" is what I'm sure you are all thinking- to name 50 little states.  Well, try it, you just think and think and can't remember that one or two (or 6 if your Brandon- love you hun!).  

I am happy, yet still frustrated to report that I only missed one...silly Oklahoma.  My victory in this little game earns me the treat of my choice at a store as long as it's under $3.  I'm so excited!!


It's kind of fun, if you want to try click here

Prepare to be inspired

I saw this on a friends blog and laughed and loved it.  I thought I would share.
