    Wait a bit for spring, then you can fly out, drive home.

    Also a good option, as long as I choose the right flight. I'll be fine if I do choose the right flight. I do believe in warnings in dreams, I've already seen some.

    Sometimes they're a bit more subtle than just flashing a red sign saying "WARNING: DANGER. TURN BACK NOW." They pertain to what I think of and what happens during the day and sometimes what I haven't yet seen in waking life; E.G. I once saw someone in a dream who I hadn't seen for over three weeks but I didn't consciously know she was back in town until the following morning.

    Without getting too detailed in this reply, Once I haw a dream where I think I looked like Gollum. I was in a room by myself and the room was surrounded by dangerous characters in the building. The doorknob was metal and it was literally red-hot so if I were to have opened the door my hand would've been burned.

    Cemeteries have been recurring in my dreams over the years, since 2008 particularly. I haven't had any lately though outside of daydreaming. One dream that I had in 2008 wasn't as clear to me in 2008 so I couldn't call it a warning when I had it, but dreaming of being outside the living city in a graveyard (not buried, just out there) in the dead of night while zombies (all dead, keep in mind) roamed about wasn't fun at the time since I was paralyzed with so much fear I couldn't move. So, dream-wise for what it means the best I can say is; Stay in the living city inside its safe walls. And when I had it, I was rude and foul-mouthed if provoked; I played bloody video-games online with a bunch of people who had no courtesy to their fellow players. (Otherwise known as "Some of Xbox Live".)

    One other time I saw a bunch of airplanes high up in the sky above a city about to bomb it (I don't think this is meant to be taken quite literally but "bombing" is part of it) so I thought I'd take shelter. So I went in a skyscraper-sized refrigerator.

    And this one other time isn't mine, but Norman Vincent Peale (A Christian writer of books) wrote that three years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, he had a dream telling him to not go there. He listened and survived.

    On another subject, have you ever seen the R-rated movie "U-Turn"? (Released in 1997, I think) - When I see movies like that I think "The lead character had his opportunities to turn away from what happened before it happened!"

    I haven't gone to public school, I was always home-schooled. That doesn't explain why I think this way though.

    Still at just $3000 reserve met. With right at 18 hours left on eBay, this is shaping up to be a big GM clamshell wagon bargain, if the price holds and the sale actually happens. Not totally option loaded, but this Buick has power tailgate and 3rd seat and other desirable accessories. :thumbs2:

    From what we can see, I think that this is a reasonably good buy.

    Hey 101 volts, there are two types of people (as we all well know), one group is the half glass full type and the other is the half glass empty type. If you are always worried about that glass becoming completely empty, you will never be able to concentrate enough to fill it back up.

    For me I make the most of every opportunity I can manage and while I am prepared to learn from my mistakes, I do have exit strategies in place as well. This is ok when I am in charge of my actions, but hey, if I can't change things like being on the wrong aircraft at the wrong time, then I wont let that encroach into my professional or my personal life style choices either, otherwise I would not even bother getting out of bed.

    I can't speak for you personally I know, but the best cure for you is to just hop on to that plane without considering anything that could or even just might happen, and yep, also stay away from that virtual blood and guts, and go outside for a drive in your wagon instead!

    Well does it look like it's more out of Derby range at least?

    Ah. I posted this one in another thread. Didn't even think about it being the same car. Good catch! Any idea what shipping from CA to VA would have been?

    I would think somewhere in the ballpark of 1,500 to get it to VA. Tom

    It actually went to FL Miami and not VA. An even farther trip.
