[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.
Car won't go into gear, period. KR and her son and my landlady helped me push it the four blocks - I owe them beer! Not the son, he gets chips and a soda. The mechanic highly doubts insurance will cover the repair. I hope it's something simple like clutch fluid, or maybe a new cable. Car~ma, please!!!
Now to eat a quick lunch and go to work. God, I so don't want to go to work.
Man, food allergies suck. I am grateful my allergies are limited to sulfa drugs, stinging insects, and poison ivy.
Sounds like my car, smonster, which won't go into Reverse. It'll be at least $300. Plus we need to get a new tire because there was a slow leak in one that let the tire go flat as it's been sitting.
Car troubles SUCK. Much repair ~~ ma to y'all.

I so very badly want this blouse, or one just like this:

I could live with $300. Anything above $500 is going to be stressful. Over $1000, super stressful; over $2K, might be time to look at buying a used car.
As with Laura, I compensate by using more garlic, but obviously that's a different flavor and I can't add them in sufficient bulk to really build up a stock the way I used to.
Garlic will, frequently, wind up causing the same issues as onions eventually. As I know from sad and tragic personal experience. I'm playing GI roulette whenever I add garlic! (In my case, garlic started it, and onion's the one that brought up the rear flank in the GI attack.)
It's a different flavor profile, but you get a similar bulk and texture if you use fennel bulbs. (My brother-in-law has Laura-level issues with onions, so if we're cooking and they'll be there, we use the other aromatics.)

We've been trying this. We need $2K down before the "your credit is crappy" car dealership will talk to us.

If you guys are good at working on cars at all, if you can scrape together the cash, the Volvo 240s are a good option. They're apparently ridiculously easy to work on, parts are everywhere, and the engine will run forever. Maybe even fiveever.
Ours cost us a whopping $800.

Pretty blouse, Aims!
Car~ma to all who need it. Cars are such a ridiculous money suck.
I just tried to get in to see my doctor today (I have three meds I need adjusted/refilled) so I wouldn't have to go to work, but no dice. Wednesday mid-morning is the first available. I guess it's off to work I go. At least a short day? I'm feeling on the edge of a panic attack, and really just want to go fetal for the rest of the day, but I can't tell if going to work will make it better or worse.
