And yay for new to you car! We're in the market, too, but we're hoping we can squeeze out another half year in our current one to give us time to scrounge up the jack.
For the last month I've been white knuckling it across the Bay Bridge with a car with a fucked up fuel pump that's leaking coolant, overheats readily and stalls when it's idling at a stop.
So those exciting days when I get to deal with bumper-to-bumper traffic in the rain at night on the Bay Bridge (which doesn't have a breakdown lane) have taken their toll on my blood pressure.
Glad to have a sturdy little faux Toyota.
I was reading the backlog of Natter earlier, and I had to go out in the rain for applesauce and sour cream because I was determined to make latkes for dinner. They were delicious. Which is good, because I'll be eating the rest for breakfast and lunch.

I'll trade you some prime rib for latkes. The prime rib is delicious but eating red meat every day is deleterious to me.

I'd push them through the interpipes if I could. I'm planning on making tilapia for dinner tomorrow just for a brief potato break.

Ayup. We replaced our fuel pump (and fuel filter and plugs & points and distributor cap and O2 sensors and catalytic converters) but it still stalls when it's idling at a stop. However a) I'm not driving across the Bay Bridge, so it's a lot less stressful when I stall out and have to start it back in neutral in the middle of the desert with no traffic within eight miles of me, and b) it doesn't do it as much with premium gas and at lower elevation. So we're going to try to live with it until we can work something else out.

For the food exchange I think we need more of a really, really big and complex lazy susan.
Maybe MM can put that together after he perfects the teleport... oh wait, we can probably use the teleport for foodstuffs.
My flight was almost 4 hour late, the cats knocked litter everywhere, Loki puked today so I need to vacuum AND carpet clean AND figure out why he puked, I've barely unpacked , it is 2:15AM and I'm not likely to sleep soon, but I'm home.
Um, sara, welcome home?
I skimmed (that's the residue from my b.org Friday morning Hanukkah miracle - the "mm"s inside that word, instead of "pp"s), to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is quester's birthday.
Happy birthday, quester! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Happy Birthday quester!
Nilly, hope you are staying safe with the news that Shir has been reporting.

That happened to me for a couple meals and I'm not sure I can look at a potato again for a very very long time.
