I got a kitten today.  :)

He's orange striped.  I named him Jim, but I don't think that name is going to stick.  Maybe I'll go with Percy, after Sir Percival Blakeney.  He put the PIMP in Pimpernel.

Cool.  Jim is a perfectly good name.  If it's good enough for Kirk, it's good enough for your kitty.

Cool. I've always had bad experience with cats. I had one when I was little, but it's last owner tortured it or something so it had anger management issues. I have 2 right now and one has a neurological disorder and the other is afraid of his shadow, he runs away from grasshoppers. I wish you better luck than I've had.  :lol:

I read somewhere that pets often take on the traits of their owners.

The only one he's developed so far is a pooping on my blanket fetish.  I know I've never done that, so he must have gotten it from the chick who gave him to me.

My last cat wore a spiked dog collar.  People thought it was cute... until he bit them.  Then they realized it was for a reason.  He was the best.

It's not very complete but scroll down On Here and find the Kitty link, it gives a 'baseline' spec read.

Hey, it's a truck.

Enjoy your $2,640 per year gasoline expense.  (based on 15K mi and $3/gal)

I'm spending $3750 based on 17.5K miles and $3/gal.  That puts my cost of ownership on my Hemi powered Ram 1500 at $725 per month.  That's $140 more per month than my mortgage, taxes and insurance on the house.

 I was looking at a Ram first, but I couldn't find one like I wanted so I was going to wait for the 2008s and
order one. My Camaro had other ideas, though, and died, so I had to find something quick.
The truck was almost empty when I left the dealership, and using their voucher for a free full tank; I filled it up - $70.00
Yeeouch. Thankfully, though, it's paid for in full, and I just paid the house off; so what I would've spent there
will be my new fuel budget I reckon.
 I'll have some good pictars soon; my mom has my camera at the moment, hence the dealership page. The photo
there is the actual truck, though.

I'm too young to die >.<
