ugh, sj. My mother had the same thing happen to her a few weeks ago. She was captive audience to a guy cleaning the rug who was also an apparent anti-obamacare "expert". I wasn't there so I don't know what I would have done in that situation, but I feel for you.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oy, sj.
So remember that super busy weekend I had planned? It's probably going to look somewhat different. My car just died with no warning in downtown rush hour. I'm off to the side and my insurance covers towing, so that's good. Mostly likely clutch or transmission. Ugh.
D is with me, and immediately sent me around the the corner to get a bagel. He learned fast about my blood sugar crashes.
Ohno, smonster. So much easy/cheap fix-ma. I'm glad D's there in case you need to lean a bit.
Smonster omg no.
amyth OMG yes. I am shockingly calm. I'm going to save my freakout for when I find out the cost. Good things: we were headed to the burbs to see the Hobbit, so at least we weren't towing from there at midnight or something; I called my boss (thinking he might know something) and he has offered to help me pay for repairs (i have to have a car for work). Bad things: I'm supposed to drive to NC in a week.
smonster, tons of cheap-fix~ma headed your way. Also, good for D for realizing what you need at that moment.
We went out for Mexican tonight because the low fume paint was not so much low fume while it was drying, and I couldn't eat at home. I am now happily full and a little tipsy from a super yummy margarita. I was supposed to go out with a friend, but she blew me off. She's a teacher with a little boy, and I think she was more than a little freaked out by the events of the day.
Oops, I killed the thread.
Phfffft. I killed Natter.

A woman I went to high school with just posted on facebook that in light of today's events people should start rethinking wanting to remove "In God We Trust" from our currency. I just don't even know what to make of some people.
