I’m disgusted, now. I thought I’d found the part I need in Denver, but the place doesn’t have the right part number.
And the manager here kept my transfer application for a year before submitting it, and now I have to go through the entire song and dance again with a new doctor, but I’m no longer a patient of the doctor who signed the “reasonable request.” I can’t see the new doctor until September, so that means I’m stuck here.
This is getting monotonous.
I did have but I signed it and became independent.
Well, shoot. It ought to go without saying that moving away from smoke is reasonable.
Especially since NV has so many non-smoking laws and so many lawyers ready to sue for second-hand smoke.
I told her I didn’t appreciate her delay, so now she wants to “discuss” it with me.
Right. Today, too I’m ticked off to even THINK of talking to her face-to-face.
In other news, I found the part in Oklahoma City, for $128 including S&H, and it will go out today. With luck, I’ll have it put in on Saturday, (by moi) and will be back in bidness.

The postal bunneh is bringing you the price of the part, with enough left over for a Restorative.
I’m mopping the dining room and kitchen. Well, I was before I sat here ;-). They had sticky-ick. It’s raining outside. The exterminatorguy is here doing something, ant-wise. Ash is whining at the window because she wants to get in his truck.
Ohmystars!
*blush*
The Restorative is certainly well-earned!
I thought this had to be the worst morning of my recent life! And I have the money for the part, but of course, it will wipe me out for anything else, so thank you! And the postal bunneh. (Is he armed?)
Tell Ash it’s OK...I want to get in my truck, too!!
The horror stories I could tell you about my efforts to find the part locally! *sheesh*
“Sure we have it! Come and get it.”
“Um...I need the part so I can start my truck.”
“So what do you want ME to do about it?” -click-
“I can order the part as soon as you come in and pay for it,” he said, with an Indian accent.
Needless to say, when I got the email from the place in OK, I almost cried. (I’ve been doing a lot of that lately...)
We have a break in the monsoons...dryer (drier?) weather for the next week, then who knows what? I think it’s only 96 out there now, with a slight breeze.
Dryer weather is when it is so wet you need to use the dryer.
wekkum. *\;-)
One of “those” days! Fanks!
My head is beginning to ache again.
*HUG*
I used to go to auto parts houses for my friend, back in the day, but somehow, the new parts employees are not at all like the used parts employees. The latter (to me) fall into the “junkyard dog” category, and are probably toothless, tattooed, and have 20 years’ grease under their nails and in their hair.
The guy I talked to was VERY nice, which made the entire search worthwhile. I coulda hugged him!!
Actually, either online or on the phone, I must have contacted at least a dozen parts houses. All but the last one was like the two I mentioned.
One even told me I should be grateful that the part was available for $200; never mind the boast in the email about undercutting the price of competitors (we have the ignitor AND the coil); never mind the fact that they offered a discount for any purchase over $100 (that only applies to non-electronic parts.) I told him I wasn’t about to be taken for a ride by a company that reacted to a female voice on the phone. Been there. Done that. Never again.
It’s pouring here. Ash is sad.
Get yourself the Restorative (after the part). I’m back to Reducing.
After the dumping I got last week, I think I’m going to be losing a lot of weight. Things just go like that with me!
Always a silver lining.
Or a rainbow. Or both!
True.

And here's a steampunk baby, although not mine.
