And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This will be the SECOND car my sister has crashed in a way that damaged the undercarriage and maybe next time she asks to borrow it I will say no.

Our wings are not tired.

My poor car, which I loaned to my sister for her drive to Canada

I originally read this as your cat, and was quite concerned about the cat being hurt in an accident. Still sucks, but I am relieved for your imaginary kitty.

I think that is the correct answer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Jess! I agree that maybe your sister should not be driving your cars.

Yikes Jessica! Also, wow, that’s an accident prone sister! I assume she doesn’t have a car so maybe is less comfortable/used to driving?? Still though.

I’m waiting for the bank to confirm what exactly happened (the guy I talked to could basically only see that it was listed as in person withdrawal and what branch) so I know what exactly I need to report! It’s all online now.

Yeah, she's lived in NYC since college (20+ years) and has never owned a car.

(To be clear, the FIRST car she totaled wasn't mine, it was the family junk car that both of us learned to drive on. I used it for two years and then left for college, and she drove it into a tree. She has many talents. Driving isn't one of them.)

There is a reason I went from driving occasionally to driving never!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dang, Jess!

Thrive to spite them

There was only 48 posts for me to read but it was a roller coaster.

Lots of health~ma to sick/injured parental units.

Meara that really sucks that your bank doesn't seem to be as concerned as they should be. And that this happened.

Jessica your poor car.
