I assume there's a movie about this with Fred Astaire in it. (blogs.smithsonianmag.com)

Which reminds me... I'm probably going to go out to some restaurant for dinner on Thanksgiving. The alternative... is not pleasant. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:44 11
- sauteed dustbunnies you collected from under the couch served over a bed of melancholy? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:53
- chinese on thanksgiving is great. a neat way to meet people, actually. everyone's alone. everyone has a story. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:51 9
  - There's a 24/7 dinner-type place here known for its pies. They're doing a Thanksgiving menu. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 11:00 2
    - I think that is kind of exactly the kind of place I would want to avoid on thanksgiving. I would want to be somewhere nonthanksgivingish. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 12:08 1
      - Alone in my living room is the kind of place I want to avoid on Thanksgiving. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 13:26
  - from a board awhile back -yes, if we refi Lil Pip's school loan, we will be needing your referral info. I will have her call them. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:53 5
    - oh, rock on. I got here super early this morning to do my application; I'm waiting to be accepted. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:56 4
      - heh - I'm curious to see how this process goes. I just want out from underneath Sallie Mae - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:58 3
        
        my loans are AES and VSAC, but I have always felt like something very fishy was happening. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 11:03 2
        
        I'm surprised your variable rate is so high - meaning - if you got that - I'm going to get less - Epiphany Nov 25, 11:12 1
        
        my rate was 6.8 to begin with because my loans were grad. yours are probs at 3.4% for the most part. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 11:50
