Juice's thread of randomness

csb time - the toll booth on route 66 used to not accept canadian coins, but it acted as if it did. It would register as 25 cents, but would spit it back out into the coin return. I used to shove one quarter in repeatedly until my toll was registered as paid, but i hadn't paid a cent.

I found a Canadian quarter in my coin jar (actually, it's not a jar but rather a silver-ish wine coaster we got as a wedding present).

Seriously, a wine coaster as a wedding present? For a couple who don't give a hoot for wine and anyway wouldn't use a friggin' coaster even if they did? I should melt that sucker down and see what comes out of it.

Anyway, I'm keeping the quarter because it makes me feel like I own a little piece of Canada.

Melt that sucker down and make yourself a Vampire Warz cross.

I own my own photography business and I specialize in senior photos. It was a crazy busy couple of months between business (I do 100% of the work myself) and my dad having a brain tumor and having to take him to the hospital, doctor's appointments, etc. I took a 2 day vacation over the weekend and wasn't in the door 5 minutes before the phone started ringing at 8:15pm with a panicked mother telling which photo to send in to her daughter's school for the yearbook and and repeating to me that it has to be in before Thanksgiving (thanks for waiting until now, lady). She also told me that before I send it in, I need to "fix" her daughter's white bra which shows through her black shirt and wanting me to "straighten" her daughter's crooked tooth. I wanted to tell her to go to the damn orthodontist and pick better clothes, but I didn't.

Yeah, "taking pictures" is lots of fun.

Back to office chairs...

I sit in one of these every day and it is amazing for a bad back.

Car inspection time :( anyone know if 180 is good for replacing front brakes and roders on a 04 Saturn ion?

[Hockeynut!]

Sounds like a great deal to me.

[FreeCandy44]

I called Flynn tires and they wanted 275 for brakes etc.

[mac5155]

Your car doesn't have roders Hehe.

[FreeCandy44]

Your car doesn't have roders Hehe.

Yeah yeah....I'm a mark I know. I just want a good deal. Rotors or roders none the less.

[mac5155]

If 180 includes parts that's about right.

[FreeCandy44]

If 180 includes parts that's about right.

Parts and labor yes. I just want to make sure I'm getting a good deal. I trust no mechanic.

I'd take them to a store and buy something for around $200 and pay for it with pennies, mac.

about 2 months ago, my buddy ticked me off real bad one night cause he wasn't answering his phone when I called but would answer my other buddy's texts. So, I put an ad on craigslist for 2 lower level justin beiber tickets for like $150. Judging from the other posts that was dirt cheap. I didnt put an email and just put his phone number, and to only text him. Needless to say he answers all my texts now.

Im here, but the parkway was eerily fast-paced today. I'm talking didn't even need brakes fast.

My boss (who lives in Baltimore) got called for jury duty today. She'll be sharing jury duties with one Michael Phelps.
