And in mememe news, I was just in a car crash on my way home from errand running. My totally-paid-off-for-10-months Civic is, IMO, completely totalled--I see no way that they'll consider this fixable for anything under the Blue Book value. Only good thing is that it was completely the other guy's fault (he turned right in front of and I couldn't stop or swerve to avoid him due to traffic). Guess I'll be spending my Saturday car shopping.

Damnit. I wanted to be car payment free for the next ten years.

Yikes, Kathy! I'm glad you're okay, but that SUCKS. I'm so sorry.

I've been getting white hairs for a couple years now. Teppy, they must be yours.

Did my post just get et? Anyway, Kathy I'm glad you're all right!

Yikes Kathy! That's awful! I hope all the insurance wrangling goes ok.

Kathy! I'm glad you're okay. Totally sucky to lose the car.

Yikes, Kathy! What they all said.

Good grief, such news. I will keep my fingers crossed for only tiny dribbles of water in Maria's restaurant, and for a shiny new car that lasts 10 years paid for by someone else's insurance for Kathy.

And a question for the hivemind: is a yard/moving sale worth the hassle? Bear in mind I am cheap and like money.

It is actually dawning on mr. flea that he is moving to Ohio in less than 48 hours. Finally.

Glad you are ok, Kathy. Scary and sucky.

CJ didn't get to go up in one of the Life Flight helicopter. None of the probies did. He did learn that Life Flight can handle larger patients than Flight for Life.

is a yard/moving sale worth the hassle?

It can be as long as you advertise it well. Fliers everywhere, and a classified ad for the career garage-salers who will be there bright and early. Make sure it's the good stuff, priced really reasonably, and cleaned up.
