They aren't replacing the trans - the trans work is just $400 and change. It's the engine work that's $823. I'm gonna see if he'll waive the charges for the air filter and oil change.
It's all non-warranty work so he'll make bank on the $1261.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The status is NOT quo.
Aimee, I'm sorry. Verily, that blows.
I'm sorry if I skimmed past other people's bad days...I'm emerging from two weeks of constant work and sheer exhaustion, so I've barely even had time to poke my head in here lately.
Tonight is the Miracleborn going away party (sniff), and then I have the weekend to get rested and packed up for the 9th grade camping trip I'm chaperoning next week. Monday through Friday up north of Sacramento on the American River--it should be great! I hope. Please God, don't let it rain the entire time. Especially not while we're whitewater rafting. I don't need another Muppet-on-heroin experience like last years 9th grade camping/canoeing debaucle.

Herding cats for fun
Do you have to drive through the mountains?
Just the Sierras and the Rockies. I've noticed that I use about a tank and a half less gas on the way back down than I do going over Donner Pass and up the Western Slope. (car~ma for your trip)
Now I have to call the vet and discover the price for grouchy Gracie's latest bout with her painful bladder. The vet wants to do $1,000 worth of work on her teeth, but no. Just no. She's elderly, she already has cancer, and frankly I don't like her well enough to want to wring every last day out of her life. In fact, I have been guiltily thinking that it would have been much, much better if it had been Gracie who died three weeks ago instead of Chloe, my best-beloved old cat.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, I am sorry KB. I didn't know you'd lost Chloe.
I discovered that pedis in Oregon get to use the razors. I am de-hoofed. And you buy a baggie with a file, square little buffy thing and toe separators - for $1! I has my own personal baggy of personal grooming implements.

There are mountains in Utah, right?
t looks out window Yes, they're still there, right were we left them.
If you come up I15 from LA, the biggest steep part is the Virgin River Gorge which is spectacular and about 10 miles long. Then there's a gradual up with some steepish sections till you hit either I70 or I80 to go east. Then it's the Rockies.

Does anyone here know anything about a short sale or have any experience with one?

Is that what's happenng with your place, sj? All I know is the definition - selling will bring in less money than what is owed on the property.

Yes, but that's not why I am asking. I'm asking because the house we wanted to rent is headed toward foreclosure and the option was mentioned to us. We probably can't afford to do it right now, but I'm curious.

Ah, that's a different kettle of fish. I don't know that it has any ramifications other than really motivating the seller. You certainly wouldn't want to take over the loans or any arrangement like that, but you could probably get a good price.
Your crazy, beth. I just put my fan in the window and I am exhausted. Also, my internal body teperature has gone up 3 degrees today, I don't know if I'm sick or just hot.
