I'm not too upset. It would have been a lot more if I'd just ignored everything until all the oil ran out. And in the past I might have just done that.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

[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.

I had my car in the shop yesterday for an oil change and check up and was completely sure I'd get a call about additional work that was needed. But somehow the sun shone on me and it was just an oil change.
askye, I hope they get the work done quickly and don't discover anything new that needs immediate attention.

That's a bummer, askye. I'm glad you caught it before the oil ran out and your engine seized, though.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ChiKat, I am so sorry. Much peace and love to you, Mickey, and your family.
2012? You obviously weren't listening. I *told* you not to act like your big brother 2011. That's not a good example to follow. Knock it the hell off.
askye, what Calli said. Replacing the engine would have been a lot more than $400.

And *that's* what I forgot! Congratulations, Laura and family! Your new dog is adorable.

Congratulations, Laura and family.
{{{Maria}}} I'm sorry this year is already being difficult for you. Is there anything we could do?

sj, my 2012 comment was more in the general sense, because there seems to be a few buffistas that already find themselves giving the year the stinkeye. No difficulties for me just yet, though I still peek around the corners and tread very gently so as not to anger a year that's only 5 days old.
Thank you so much for the hugs, though. There's never a bad time to hug an Italian.

You're like the anti-Brits.
Beautiful doggy, Laura!
Oh, I'm so sick. Bit better than last night at least. The Girl's whole family has this stomach flu, suggesting that we caught it at the shiva. I do wish I believed in karma right now. I'm owed at least a week in a mansion with cleaning fairies and a heated pool and dozens of cats.

Nothing so funny as watching a Brit go rigid in recoil from a hug.
