We&#8217;re hoping and praying this is the beginning of the end of her headaches. I don&#8217;t want to write too much as I might jinx her.<\/p>\n<p>The boys had a great day at school and we picked them up at 4 as they had chess club after their day. Today I need to try to get them their snow board boots so we can try to get up to the hills at least a couple of times this year.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s 6:20 now as I slept in a little. I was up at 4 but forced myself to go back to sleep. We might get a new pickup today as they have 0% and $12,000 off. If you play the game right (which I do) you can actually drive a new truck every 3 years or so and make your payment continue to go down. I&#8217;ve been doing this for a few trucks now and it really does work. The trick is if you buy at 0%, and you buy a truck, the value holds at a higher rate than normal cars do (or deprecation) and if you wait for 0% and get the $10 to $12,000 rebates or discounts they give you when next years models are coming out, you can do really really well. Plus the sales manager is a good friend of mine which helps. Sure you do end up owing more overall but the amount is negligible, a few thousand dollars tacked on the back end of the loan but you own a brand new truck. We&#8217;ll see, I&#8217;ve walked from many a car lot as I know the game better than most of them. It&#8217;s actually fun for me, I enjoy the art of the deal. The misses keeps telling me I should buy cars for people for a living.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve pretty much been gluten free for a few weeks now and am sort of getting used to it. The few times I&#8217;ve had wheat, I felt real sluggish and bloated. Maybe there&#8217;s something to it. It&#8217;s tough to find good bread though, we tried some garbanzo flour bread yesterday that was horrible. It&#8217;s going back to the store.<\/p>\n<p>On the news right now they&#8217;re showing 3 suspects (all black, just saying) that killed 7 people in a bar and got away with a total of $170! Nice, real nice. Divide $170 by 7 and you get about $24 per human life, unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p>More snow tomorrow, yea, we need it bad. Time for me to run as it&#8217;s a gym day. Hope all&#8217;s well, take care, be safe and God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It turns out we&#8217;re going to Vail Monday am for the misses head (acupuncture) as she just didn&#8217;t feel like driving today (ski traffic and the car ride sometimes makes her head worse) and she&#8217;s, knock on wood, still feeling &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/?p=1299\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1299\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
