Yes indeed I told him! I also told him last night that I never minded him the way he was before but that I knew he was happier now.

He says people at work are all the time talking about it, now.

Hey, Jen...didn't you and I talk about AAA a while back? Did I tell you I got it a few months ago? Steve kinda scoffed at me about it.

He had a blowout last night on the way home from school!!! He tried to fix it but it was getting dark and he couldn't see. Someone stopped and let him use their cellphone, and he called AAA (from the number on the card that I gave him and he had just rolled his eyes...)and they came right out and fixed it!

He told the guy that came out to help him "I thought my wife was silly for getting this...turned out to not be such a bad idea!"

Ha! See, one little incident and it pays for itself!

My car has roadside assistance, not AAA but the same basic thing, and I'm so glad it does. As long as I carry my cell phone around, any problem I have they can handle.

There you go!!

I LOVE AAA! The last year we had our land yacht (1993 GMC Vandura High Top Conversion Van) I ended up calling them three or four times because of problems we had with the starter, battery, etc. I had to call them twice this year to change out a tire that was flat. I must have driven through some rough spots because in both instances there was some sort of trash in the tire and I ended up having to get new ones!

I've never learned how to change a tire; probably should. We're gonna have Clare's Girl Scout troop do their Car Sense badge this year and they'll learn how to change the oil, change a flat, do minor maintenance etc. I just laughed when the other leader suggested it, because I call AAA when there's an emergency, and go to the mechanic for the other stuff. There's things I'll do myself and things I'll let the professionals do; car stuff is in the latter category!
