worth the purchase i'd say for sure. you spent a third of your life in it after all
and you're tall too right? back/neck pain is a bitch if you don't have good posture and a decent bed

I've passed on the last few comic-cons in my town because I kept going through the whole place/schedule and realizing that I was only interested in about 1% of it. Plus I get very anxious in a crowded place.
I really want to check out a gaming con, but that would involve airfare and hotel - too expensive.
Did you buy anything? Did you meet any celebs or listen to any of them speak?

Something crazy happened. My mother kicked out her roommate last weekend because she couldn't stand having him around any more. He's around 25 yo, quiet, awkward. The deal was he would move in and work 60 hours a week at the Radisson for a few months saving up money to get an apartment. She wouldn't see him very much because he'd be working all the time. Well right after he moved in, he quit the job and locked himself in his bedroom, emerging only to use the bathroom and raid the refrigerator. He was paying the rent, but my mom didn't like the fact that he was there all the time and argued with him. When she threw him out, he smashed her phone. I got angry when I heard about this, and concerned about her because she has no street smarts. She's 62 and has been married her whole life until 5 years ago. She's had a few roomies in the past few years and she didn't know any of them very well.
Well, a few days ago he was on the news robbing a bank. He's on the run right now, but the cops and the FBI have all of his info because people like my mom who knew him recognized his picture immediately. He just used a threatening note during the robbery, so I don't think he has a gun, but knowing he's out there and desperate scares me.

I kind of feel sorry for him. I think he needed help, but it was out of reach because it's so expensive. I think it sucks that our society won't pay to help someone like him, but we're willing to pay to imprison him when he does something that could have been prevented if he was able to get the help he needed.
My sweetie got a new car last week. The dealership was kind of shady. One day they told him to come look at the car, the next day when he came they said the car he wanted was stolen and tried to sell him another one. When he didn't want that one, they said the cops just recovered the stolen one so now it's back. I smelled BS. But he bought the car anyways.
Then yesterday they called him at work and said the bank had reneged on the financing and they needed the car back asap. The dealership is 70 miles away. They said he had to bring the car back now, then come back the next day to see what else they could sell him. He told them that if they wanted the damn car that they can drive their asses down here to get it themselves and bring back his $4K that he put down at the same time. They said they would come pick up the car and that they would hand deliver the $4K to him at work the next day. They came for the car, now we're just waiting to see if they're going to deliver the money. assholes.

... why would he give it back before getting his down payment back? that doesn't seem smart.
He tried that and they said that they need it back that very same day, and if he didn't let them take it then they would report it stolen because technically it wasn't his yet
i would just say, go for it. talk about an empty threat. it's obviously not stolen, assuming he has paperwork.
unless it was your boyfriend's bank that had the problem, in which case i question why you wouldn't finance the loan through the dealership's bank
