UNO takes down the Hawkeyes! (well, currently 94-84 with 45 seconds to go)

Wow. I knew Iowa sucked this year, but wow.

Also, I knew my spreadsheet project would be boring, but how many new levels of boring did I have to create.
At least I came across that poem where the slave mother kills her children to keep them from growing up like her again. I can always count on that one to liven up a day.

got us a new car. Tried the other Kia dealer in town...........well above the first one in their offering. Decided to stop back at the one on our side just before closing and see if offer was still valid. It had gone up by $500 cause the Black Friday cash had expired but after a while they found another incentive that could apply if we financed through them so we got the same price honored. Weren't planning to finance but we can put a big chunk down and then pay in full in 90 days. Think I calculated we'll pay like $9 in interest total. Always said we wouldn't buy a new vehicle yet here we are, ha. 2017 Kia Sorento be ours probably next Saturday.

Also, my credit score is apparently higher than DH's. That's a swap from house building times.

99% of the time there is a deal to be made by financing new cars through the dealer. A couple of years ago my uncle was buying a new car with cash. They kept trying to up sell their financing which he kept rejecting. That is until the smart sales guy said "Let me put it this way if you finance through us we can take $1k off the price of the car and you can pay it off on the first payment." Deal

So was it just a poem or a true story passed on as a poem? Sad if the second.
