Stephanie, if he's that nervous, can you offer to hire a doula? A professional non-doctor type support person might do him a world of good.
Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
{{Stephanie}} good commmunication ma~~ to you guys
and yes, I still watch VM
I am FURIOUS! I just saw the dog that attacked Toto last summer or fall...being walked by his owner WITHOUT A LEASH. The owner is a kid, so I didn't report him when the dog attacked Toto...just gave the kid a talking to. Now I wish I would have.
ETA: I did call and report what I saw today. Who knows if they'll catch up with him in time, but at least I tried.
Is it just me or does Laura's tag keep getting longer and longer?
Please don't make me keep track of the o's. Please.
Snerk. Not to worry Sunil, it is the same length.
Yeah, so the universe has not stopped fucking with me. I just got off the phone with the mechanic, and he says I also need a new starter, a new front left caliper on my breaks, and a new transmission.
There are no words for how deep this depression is that I'm sliding in to. I have no money and no fucking job, and without a fucking car in this town, it's really difficult to find and get to a new job.
He give you a price as to how much to fix everything?
{{{Sean}}} I'm truly sorry life is shitting all over you right now. I'll keep you in my thoughts and I'ma lambast the hell out of the universe for you.
I should be cleaning in anticipation of Nicole arrival. I'm not. I will. I might. I'll get there, sooner or later.
He give you a price as to how much to fix everything?
$85 to fix the brake caliper, $120 to fix the starter, I didn't even ask about the transmission since it's just so beyond conceivable that I can get that money right now. edit: but the transmission will probably be around $1,000 to fix.
{{Sean}} BTDT so many times. My ability to talk various institutions into lending me money over the years has kept me in transportation and food, although the price has been staggering. I could easily retire on what I have spent in interest and fees. Ugh. I wish I had actual advice, but all I can offer is something~please~go~right~ma.
eta: as far as car repairs go, I've heard more horrible numbers. Transmissions are never a reasonable number.
