Is $139 for exactly the amount of paint that I need, or just the smallest size, so that I can improve my skill from horrifyingly atrocious to merely hideous?

Well, it cost my realtor a commission. I do not have any idea when I will be able to purchase a house, but I will probably choose another agent. I imagine the commission is a percentage, though, so the more that I pay, the more that he earns.

Well, there is an A0 hood for $75 1,089 miles away in Texas, except that I am prohibited from leaving the state. There are a total of five in Arizona, three that are the wrong color, and two of unspecified colors, one thirteen miles away in Phoenix for $75, and one for $150 184 miles away, in Yuma.
I will call those two places tomorrow, but I will call Phoenix first.
