I was going to say...

Whoever she is, I'd do her.

But I thought that might be crass.

Katherine Heigle aka Izzie, she is on Gray's and she is by far one of the hottest.

Didn't she used to have dark hair ?

I learned how fast a ferry could stop today when the ancors up and just dropped due to a fault that nobody could have guessed would happen sure woke some people up in a hurry.

I learned, upon receiving the title to the wife's new car yesterday, that somebody felt it necessary to include the death certificate of the previous owner.

Is that a bad sign?

That would make for a much better story, but no. Pancreatic cancer.

I just think it's weird that they would include it, in its entirety, for the consumer to see all the sensitive information (name, address, SSN, etc.) Seems like one heck of an oversight to me.

Car may have been a repo; that's when you see info like that.

Lease car, paid for, yada yada yada. I'm wondering if there was some sort of payoff or insurance payable on death kind of thing they needed it for or something like that.

The weird thing is, since it's a Lincoln, I'd been calling the car "Abe" for the past week or so. Which, as it turns out, just so happened to be this woman's father's first name. Creepy.

The car is now known as "Francine."

I learned that as I was working I didn't take any pics , but on the other hand they do drop ancor when berthed as part of the regular drill but maybe nut as deep, and if it were deeper and they tossed it in reverse because of the drop the props just could have connected with the chain, but in my eyes they did it proper like, which only set it's schedual off 1 hr.
I learned to live with it.

That my CC# was stolen by someone in GA They bought gas 4 times in 20 min at Circle K for a total of $400+ and then a $2,500 lawn mower from John Deer.

Luckily Citi Bank called to say "Huston we have a problem"

If you're going to spend $2500 of someone else's money, why the heck would you blow it on a lawn mower?

Glad they caught it!

I've had 2 different accounts get into the wrong hands this year. One bought $120 worth of calling cards overseas, and the other was about $50 in itunes transactions.
