Our deal with my son were that he only had to pay the first $2500 of a car and our price range was up to $4000. It just so happened the best car I found was $2,500.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds encouraging, msbelle. I'm glad he is communicating with your mother.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh did I not post here that he completed all he needed to graduate in the 1st day he went to the alternative school? He is a graduate. I am just trying to find out how to get his diploma.
That sounds super fair Gud. Mac had to save $1500 for the car we bought after he totaled my old Focus. Since I have no mechanical knowledge and neither does he, I am scared to buy anything with too much mileage.

Today my coworkers are learning how aggressive my passive aggressiveness can be. I just sent my 3rd "never mind, I did it myself" email in 2 days. My boss (and their boss) has told me to ask for help, so I am and I am doing it in email so it is documented and they are failing to help or respond and I am documenting that also.
I fully plan to throw them under the bus.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
msbelle, I'd say in general a Toyota with high mileage would be okay. I've been driving Toyotas since I was 23 (good god, that's literally 25 years HOW AM I SO OLD). We have 2 Toyotas right now -- one of them is a 2000 Echo with 170,000-ish miles on it, and it's fine for normal everyday stuff. With regular maintenance, they've all been fine (and I've driven all of them long distances -- Ohio to Vermont, Ohio to Florida, etc.).
I know that's just 1 person's experience, but that seems to be the general consensus among Toyota owners.

Scheduled mammo.Rheuma#1 is booked up six months. Rheuma#2 will review drs notes & call me back, won't know when I can get an appointment until then. Guess I'll call 3&4 if I need to after I talk to her.
Phone tree hell.

Meara, yep. Since alternative HS requires fewer credits, he only needed 1 class to complete. He did 2 sections, so a full year, of art 101 in one day on a computer and he was done.
A huge load off all around, but still no movement on a plan for what next. Working full time at the movie theater will not be enough to cover bills, much less rent in an apartment.

Sara, I think you need to treat yourself to Luchadores for all the adulting you are doing.

Maybe this weekend. I've got a few more things to take care of before I go into work in 3 hrs.
