$11,582 per Month Car Payment

You read the title right, you can own this car for a paltry $11,582.00 per month:

Or if you prefer Maybach’s, this one is ONLY $7,075.00 every 30 days:

That is double my mortgage payment. What the heck! But hey it’s all about being seen on the road. With the Mayback, I would have to hire someone to drive it... I mean find someone to pay ME to drive ME around. My brother’s would definitely do it.

If you read the post about the M3 game my bro’s and I play, http://yourfavoriteanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/03/oh-no.html
I got another text message just a little while ago from somewhere in the dairyland of Wisconsin and Chicago..but no picture was attached....so no points were awarded. R claimed it was zipping past him weaving in and out of traffic. If I know my brother, he would have been right behind him doing the exactly same thing, first because he enjoys that type of driving and second to snap a picture to send to us. I think he’s pulling our legs. I'll have see who has the gold, sliver and bronze (and also the coal) medal positions in our lil' game. I'll probably be the one wearing the lump of coal around my neck.

Hard life for Arab Americans

Wow, I knew things were tough, but not this tough. How these guys just don't pack up and head back home, I don't know. I could never do what they do, especially being that far from my family......masakeeen, indeed.

N.Y.C.

"......i'm getting pages out of new jersey from courtney b
tellin me about a party up in n y c
and can i make it damn right
i'll be on the next flight
payin cash first class sittin next to vanna white......" Ride with Me lyrics. Nelly.

I could never, ever live in NYC, but LOVE to visit. Will go to Times Square and maybe visit Lady Liberty. It rained the entire drive until it was time to cross over the Tappan Zee and the sun comes out to welcome me! The traffic was crazy....took 1.5 hours to move 1 mile. OUCH! Good thing NJ has cheap gas. I think it's 3.53 or so per gallon.

Traffic Deaths

Traffic deaths in Jordan, 9xx per year while in the US they are 41,xxx per year.

Number of cars in Jordan are probably <1,000,000> 100,000,000 and I would bet > 150M.

Help Give Free Mammograms

Hope none of you or you loved ones ever have to suffer from this horrible ailment. Over the past few years breast cancer has touched me too close to home....mothers and sisters of good friends and several women I work with have been diagnoised. They are lucky because it was discovered early on, but for many, the yearly mammograms are too cost prohibitive.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on ¡donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

http://www.thebreastcancersite.com How about bookmarking and clicking it everyday?

On behalf of the the many, thank you!

I found $1000!!

As I was walking into my office this moring, I saw an envelope on the ground that I picked up. Everyone who works in the office buildings where my office is located parks in the same parking structure (or multi-level car park for those of you that are Brits) and it's behind the secuity fence, so not just anyone can park there. I figured I would be able to find the rightful owner.

I glance down at the envelope and discover there's no name! Now what?!?!?! The envelope was already opened so I lift the flap and what do I find...two checks already endorsed. For a quick second I thought of laundering the checks and going shopping in New York City this weekend! New suit, a few tickets to a show, and a nice dinner....all on someone else's dime! Yeah, sounds fantastic!! But there are cameras all over the place and definitely at every turn in the structure. Quickly back to my senses...if they pull the security tapes they would see me picking up the envelope and my fingerprints are all over the checks. Scratch that idea.

I get to my office and search on the online address book and there are no matches. I read who the check was from and realized it's payable to someone from the housekeeping crew. And as those people don't make too much money to begin with (or what I thought, hell $1000 per month...that is a lot!!) and it being the beginning of the month, I am sure they had bills to pay THIS weekend. So I really needed to get these checks to them before noon as our company works 1/2 day on Friday. So I go around asking the other cleaning people if they know such and such a person. No such luck. After roaming the halls aimlessly for two hours and many of my colleagues giving me dirty looks, as if to say get your lazy @$$ to work, I can't locate the rightful owner anywhere. My mind wanders back to New York....it's daring me to go to the onsite credit union and cash them. Come on, you know you want too! New York, THIS WEEKEND! I am fighting the urge...fighting with all my will. I can't go through with it...I've see what the inside of a jail looks like. For $1000, no way. Not even for $100,000,000,000.00 Well for that much maybe, but no way in hell for a measly $1000.

So in the end, I resorted to giving the envelope to the security guards in hopes they could find the rightful owner. Hope the owner got his checks back. But I should have left my name wth the guards...there might have been a reward. Might have been at least enough to buy a coffee come Monday.
