Speaking of age (CP was)

CP · Lord of the Lair

Ruby: I remember as a kid watching TV. My father was furious at a commercial. It was a car commercial and the price was 2995. He said that over his dead body would he pay 3 grand for a car.

My first house I bought at a Bankruptcy sale. It was a 1000 sq foot condo and I paid 27,500. My hand shook as I signed the papers. Now my car cost more than that.

Once again I am giving away my age.

Date: Wed Oct 19 11:07 2005

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah
