:laugh: NO!!! I have NOT!

Thanks for the concern guys but I think its just I'm dealing with alot of personal stuff like moving, MCAT, parent in hospital, etc so its all just reached a head. Well I hope its that and nothing serious.

Have you ever taken an allergy pill like claritin, and forgot you took it? I've done it and you just feel like crap. That's me. Light headed and just feeling alot better when I lay down. Thank goodness for laptop else I wouldn't have gotten done the stuff I needed to today!

Yeah, that was me. I was only voicing what many have been thinking. At least I was nice about it.

The point of this thread was to originally be silly and NOT talk about mcat/class-related stuff (hence the name of the thread). I tend to skip over posts that are more than a few short paragraphs in this forum.

Sorry guys.

You would have never survived the hives I was on. I was taking 4-5 claritin at a time plus many other meds.

Maybe you need some time off?

I can't imagine being an advisor/mod there. I would seriously just lose track of all the BS that comes up daily.:laugh: Psychiatry is a pseudoscience?:idea:

Oh wow, my upstairs neighbor just came by and said someone broke into her car yesterday - it's right here in our backyard. Well, "yesterday" being between last night and an hour ago...😱 She's like "You should keep parking out front.." I'm like, "Woman, did you forget how last year I parked my old car out front and the first night a drunk driver rammed into it 3 times and I had to take it to the junkyard?" Doesn't matter where you park, some bastard will always get you no matter where you are.😡 👎

Sounds like a stroke of bad luck. Hopefully everything important is intact and present.

OK. Because you can buy a brand new Toyota Yaris for like $12 K. I got a 2007 Yaris myself...I don't like small cars, I'm really the Buick Park Avenue/Lexus type - I really like enormous sedans with leather seats, huge engines, etc. But my father was the one paying, so he put his foot down and said "nothing but a Toyota!" He used to have 2 BMWs, one 300 and another 700 series, and now he's driving 2 Toyotas and a Pajero...considering money is not an issue, the fact that he'd trade in a luxury German vehicle for a Toyota gives you an idea about Toyota's quality. I don't like their design, I think they are too plain, and for someone who likes big cars and drove a big car for a while, they are kind of small. But you can't argue with the quality! Every single person I spoke to told me to go buy either a Honda or a Toyota.

Of course, since I've only been driving this car for 6 months, it's hard to talk about maintenance at this point, as it is very new and I'm a pretty tame driver, but everybody else's experience with Toyota tells me that this car will last me 10 years without an issue.

I'm bringing it up mostly because it's such a good deal financially and in terms of quality...you would only have spent another 4 grand, but the car would've been completely new, the warranty longer, and you'd have a brand with a good history. If I were you, I'd consider the Yaris while you still have a window of time to return your Kia, unless you are absolutely in love with it - but it sounds like it was more of a money issue.


Also, the $12K is a 2007 Yaris, and I think they started making them in 2005-2006, so you might even be able to find a cheaper one on the dealer's lot.

OK, emergency dinner advice needed.....what would you choose?

1) order in some tuna and salmon sashimi (just rice, fish, and some lettuce/cabbage)

2) make angel hair pasta with mixed seafood (shrimp, octopus, squid, mussels, etc), parmesan, and parsley/garlic/butter

Choice 1 is probably a bit healthier, but choice 2 sounds yummier to me right now, so I'd have to go with choice 2. 😀

Where is choice #3: order pizza?

That's my vote. 😀

Haha, I'm not a big fan of pizza....for some reason I can't find the perfect match of crust, sauce, and toppings in this stupid town. I like really thin and crispy crust, but the place with the best sauce only has regular crust.😡

I like my pizza with chicken and tons of vegs....👍
