Has the Monday Gronkmonster tied all you up in her web?
Yes.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know we've talked about them before, but where do people stand on those vacuum food sealer thingies? Do they work, not work? Any recs?
Yes, they work, very well. We have a FoodSaver and it works great, but I haven't used any of the others so I can't compare.

Gronklies.
How does one dispose of a car that CAN be fixed, but is too EXPENSIVE to fix? My car's alternator died on Saturday, a replacement part for a 99 VW GTI is $700, and that's more money than I have (or will have, if I want to pay rent in 2 weeks) - so I can't drive it and I can't afford to make it drivable. I want to sell it or donate it or something. Get it OUT of my life, turn off my insurance, and walk everywhere from now on. (I can do that - I live on Capitol Hill.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A donation to a charity should work, right? They'll take it away for free, and then fix it and sell it.
eta: And you'll get a tax deduction!
Also, have you looked into buying a used alternator from a junkyard?

I fell into the Not Always Right rabbit hole and may never return.

OH, SH, you might want to advertise your car on Craigslist as a "mechanic's special", explaining what needs to be done to fix it.

I am actually doing work. Invoice detective work on an account that has not been paid since 10/2008. Vendor FAIL for not contact anyone sooner. They were sending invoices to an employee that was fired in October, never noticed the emailed were getting bounced.

That's a pretty nice car, your insurance may let you suspend coverage if you aren't driving it and that would give you time to sell it. If it's not running, you're not going to get a lot of money, but you can probably get something.
