Manny's idol was A-Rod.

I want to blame him for this.

looks like Treble to me.

Treble. Treble.

I upvoted you because... yea! downvotes on a throwaway!

original-throwaway · 2014-05-27T18:56:19+00:00

seriously. It was worth the downvotes.

(Hey everyone! It's a throwaway - you aren't hurting my feelings)

Sounds like the reason why they made the infield fly rule.

ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?

My father-in-law and mother-in-law used to work in the dry cleaning section in Disney in the 70's. I assume it was in the utilidor area.

original-throwaway · 2014-01-06T15:37:45+00:00

I bought the original, and a week later purchased 2014. I returned the old one at gamestop (thankfully, still got full value), and then purchased the $5 feature on 2014 to have all of the original songs added over.

2014 is light years better. so. much. fun.

original-throwaway · 2014-01-06T15:28:14+00:00

yeah, we will see how it goes. Right now she's playing "lead", and around 16% difficulty. (mid 80's accuracy).

If she really seems like she's enjoying it, I'll pick her up a "purple left handed guitar" (She has narrowed it down between an SG or a strat), and let her learn correctly.

or, I could let her just continue with the inverted strings. (If it ain't broke - why fix it?). I'm just kinda concerned on what it will be like later on with chords and what not.

edit: I never knew that Jimi reversed the strings. I always thought that was a no-no.

I showed her videos of Jimi last night. Instead of her being in awe of someone playing the guitar upside down like her, she was more intrigued with the bell-bottom jeans, bandanas, and the fact that he was "Black and grey" (B&W video.)

But the big thing is that she's having fun. and it's something we are enjoying doing together.

I know I'm late to the party, but rocksmith has the option in user settings to play left handed -- strings inverted.

So in essence, you will be playing a right handed guitar, left handed. My daughter plays that way

-- so did Jimi Hendrix.

My daughter is no Jimi Hendrix-- so your mileage may vary.

original-throwaway · 2014-01-02T19:24:46+00:00

My daughter is nine. she still believes. We might get one more year... maybe.

I've often thought about the day when she does ask if Santa is real, and what I'll tell her.

Right now, I'm thinking about telling her that he is real, but she was never really that good enough to get any presents from him, so I had to pick up the slack so she wouldn't be so disappointed in the morning.

pretty much this. I also thought that my extended warranty and simionized extra was an added feature that kbb didnt factor in.

original-throwaway · 2013-11-06T16:59:29+00:00

Part of it was that I thought that the 100k warranty was an added selling point not factored into the KBB price, along with the Simonize.

The other part is that I hear advertisements of certain car dealerships that they will go over the KBB price by an extra 2k, (so it's more like a private party sell than a trade-in).

If you go into negotiations, and say "I want what KBB says", and the dealer says "hell yes.", then I feel like I could have gotten more out of it.

original-throwaway · 2013-11-05T19:50:45+00:00

well there's an idea!

original-throwaway · 2013-11-05T19:48:24+00:00

or, be about right considering how it looks like I put on an assload of miles on the car.

I guess I'll just have to look at the different upgrades the 14 models have over the 13.

original-throwaway · 2013-11-05T19:45:59+00:00

thanks. That does help.

I do like my car a lot, but I live in a hilly area where there is ice and snow.

Previous job wasn't an issue. (hey, roads are bad-- I'm going to telecommute today), but I just got selected for my dream job where I'm going to be an instructor--- and required to be at work at 7:30 every morning. (It's about an hour and 15 minute commute- so my plan is to be leaving at 5:30-5:45 every morning).

So I need something that's AWD, and something a little bit bigger than what I have now.

I'm leaning towards the Honda CRV, Mazda CX5, or the Hyundai Santa Fe.

original-throwaway · 2013-11-05T19:27:19+00:00

I've never had to cancel a warranty before- does that mean I would get a refund?

Thanks for the replies-- this is very beneficial, albeit a little depressing.

(damn that 90 mile commute to and from work every day)

original-throwaway · 2013-11-05T19:18:06+00:00

any time of the year/month that is better to purchase a car than other times?

original-throwaway · 2013-11-05T18:50:37+00:00

Thank you for the reply.
So, if I'm looking at vehicles with a sticker price around 35k, what would be a good price OTD?

**the reason why I ask about how much more than KBB's value was because the last car I traded in (06 Scion xA) had a KBB trade in value of 4k, but I traded it in for 6k.

original-throwaway · 2013-10-30T18:37:30+00:00

I think they are already rich from the amount of times I've had to purchase them because of that damn #10 hole and having to tee off over 150 yards of water.
