Sweet Mary in a manger, I love me some Jello pudding pops.  I really miss those Bill Cosby commercials… We just had a Piggly Wiggly open up here in town and I think I’ll be wigglin’ to the Pigglin’ tomorrow to get me some of that.

Altimas are awesome!  If that’s what you want and you can afford to buy now, Nissan is having their awesome model year end sale right now through the end of August.  If you wait until the last days of the month, they will probably make you a really sweet deal. I promise, I’m not a salesman - I bought a Pathfinder this way two years ago.  Good luck!

i miss pudding pops. :-( no piggly wiggly’s up north but i do remember them from when i lived in florida. the first time i saw one i was confused. i couldn’t figure out why the pigs were wiggling. lol

honestly, i’ve only had one new car in my life and that’s the cobalt we got in december. i’m happy with it but then again my last car was a 92 ford topaz. (yeah, that’s a 1992, not 2002) and that was one of the newer cars we’ve owned. lol

Shut My Mouth,

Thanks for the advice. It’s going to take every ounce of will power I have not to buy a car this weekend. I am committed to January. It’s my new year’s resolution!

Heather,

New cars are such a bad deal! Used is totally the way to go. However, these Altimas are too new to be used (what?), so if that’s what I want, I have to get it. I’m excited thinking that no one before me will have pooted up the car.

There’s a new anti-smoking pill out now called chantix. Your insurance may even pay for it, my co-worker’s did. Her husband is on it and is doing great, he is a two pack a day smoker! Nice choice on the altima, I’m looking for a new car too. Gonna give the 98 Honda to Morgan, she gets her permit in December. Good luck with holding out on buying!

The “Morgan” gave it away! I’m so glad you commented!

I’ve actually tried Chantix and it did work, but then I quit taking it and, well, I’m smoking right now. Thanks for the advice. I’ll try again sometime this Fall.

You are welcomed back any time. But keep Bam away from the computer, please. His comments usually point out flaws in my thinking!  How is that even possible?

By liz on 2007 08 18

personaly i agree with you re: new cars but j was so sick and tired of working on cars in a rush so that i had transportation to and from work that he insisted on a new car. the one good thing about it is what it’s done for our credit rating, which ~was~ in the toilet. we’re doing much better with that now.

as for bam thinking that there are ~any~ flaws in your thinking, yeah right! just because ~he~ doesn’t get it, doesn’t mean that ~your~ thinking is flawed. after all, you’re female, that automatically guaranties that your thinking is superior to his.

I made my last car payment on my car a few months ago and I’m sure it’s just going to fall apart on me now that it’s paid off.

Good luck shopping and giving up smoking.

Churlita, I know you’re going to hate this suggestion, but put that car payment into savings! Soon you will need repairs or, eventually, a new car. It really helps when you see that you have a savings account that grows so quickly!

Thanks for the well wishes.

There was a guy in Virginia that spilled a strawberry beer in hi walk in freezer and took a taste and decided to market the “beersicles” since it was a pansy ass flavored beer and tasted sweet. The licensing board shut him down within a week because it violated the VA liquor board rules. But there have definitely been people on your wavelength.
