senior...

i kinda have a dilemma... do i leave my baby at home when i go to college? do i make sure i spend a little extra $$ to get a larger dorm room, break it down, and have my parents send all the parts after i get settled in?

or do i forego college so i can stay home and play? :-)
mm....

If you're a senior now, then you've got a few months to (re)build a cocktail cabinet..
1. it can double as a coffee table as long as you build some cup holders on the side
2. you need a PC for school work anyway
3. heck of a lot more mobile- get some casters on it and you won't even have to lift/drag it around




Anyway I'm far from going broke because of my cabinet, I've been broke for a long time now :) I try to stay frugal, buying stuff in stages(first a stick, ipac, a few buttons, then another stick, then the spinner and opti, then some more sticks, etc) and re-using what I can. Yeah I wait a few weeks sometimes between "new" toys, but I really don't mind because I spend that time playing!

Same story as alot of ya- married, 30, no kids, too many cats. She calls me crazy less and less frequently, so thats a good thing.. When there's a box of goodies on the porch, she just shakes her head
It's all good

I don't need to start worrying about what to do with my cab when I go to school as I am a freshman.

thanks for the help guys, but i was kinda joking... (everyone is so helpful)  i might sell it to a friend of mine, or take it with me, or leave it at home, or whatever.... no biggie :-)
