Hmm. I'm insanely (and disproportionally) frustrated by an issue that I can't do much about. Do I go for a walk? I am afeared that I will drown my frustration (as well as my continued post-lunch hunger) in a not healthy snack (which is something I'm trying to avoid... have a vague plan to lose 15 lbs over the next few months.)
I'm tired, hungry, my back hurts, and I'm cranky.
WAH!
Anyway. In less whining thoughts, all my good thoughts are headed over to GC's GF and family. I may even get my head out of my ass and stop complaining so that I can free up as many good thoughts as possible.
Much ~ma to the GF's dad, GC.
but I can send you Personal Banker recommendations for your area.
I'd like that, juliana, thank you. I'm hesitant in trying to refinance my mortgage even though it would make the most sense. I got an awesome rate through my WI state VA loan program (5.35%) and I doubt anyone could find me a better rate right now. If there is a way to transfer the VA certificate to the new loan, though? I'm all over it.
AAA just left with my car. The guy thinks it is the fuel pump. Does anyone have any idea what that is going to cost me?
No idea, sj, but hopefully not too expensive for you right now.
GC, health~ma for GF's dad!!

I know ballpark from having one replaced in the past... but I think maybe you should just wait and see what the mechanic says. If someone tells you higher than what the mechanic quotes, you'll have been overly freaked for nothing. If someone tells you lower than what the mechanic quotes, it'll just be even more upsetting to hear the actual cost.
Car ~ma, hon.
God, did that sound extremely mother-ish?!?
Obviously I'm not wording things well today. If you really want to know, sj, I'd be happy to tell you. Or feel free to call me at work if you want to talk to someone.

Ick. If it's just the pump (and Mike's an honest sort) then it's somewhere between $100 and $350 for the part. I forget the make and model of your car, but I'd bet off the top of my head that it'll come in at $250 or so, after labor.

Not at all.

Mike seems like a nice guy; he's supposed to call me back soon, so hopefully he will have good news. It's a 98 Accord, fwiw.

If it's not something that frequently goes bad in Accords, you might be able to find one in a junkyard somewhere. But that might just be from my acquaintance with semi-pro mechanics who feel it's an admission of inadequacy to go to a professional shop.
Much ~ma to GF's dad and much strength to both of you, GC.
