You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's a start, anyway.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am so ready for a break from the heat - 10 day forecast, still no day under 100. That will be 4 days in the last 2 months under 100, and 3 of those 4 were officially 99.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

They'll provide me with a loaner for at least a week.

Well, now, isn't that promising? What's the time-frame on getting the part and getting it installed? Will your local dealer install it for you?

Always Anti-fascist!

Allyson, if you don't get anywhere call a consumer reporter and/or tweet your story to Ed Schultz or someone(Rachel Maddow?) I got negged a few times. Although I'm not sure if one counts, because I told the guy his profile looked like crap, and shouldn't he be trying to win people over with it?(Which might have looked like a neg in its own right, but honestly? I really am sick of people not putting effort into these things.) But what made it a neg was that he wrote back "Are you always this friendly?" which I believe was intended to make me abase myself with ladyguilt about not captivating a stranger.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Allyson, that is super cool!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

That's great news Allyson. Depending on how far you get with this person at GM, a friend of mine who saw your post on Facebook suggested tweeting your problem to @cartalk. NPR to the rescue!

Allyson, that's something, but I wish it actually solved the problem for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I feel like I've been hit in the stomach with a cricket bat. I'm winded and exhausted. And my pain meds prescription is on day #3 of not being refilled.
