LOL!! You'd think they'd have that figured out by now!
Oh, be still my heart...

I think I'm going to have to do some serious experimenting to confirm that report...
LOL!! I saw that and thought of ya!
I would do my best to avoid charging the repair against a credit card, 2J, unless you can pay it off the very first month, which is fine...because after that they charge 18% I think, it's easy to get way behind in debt on that kind of a loan.
I hate putting more money in a car than the car is worth, since that money is in a sense unrecoverable, but sometimes it could be the least expensive, and thus logical, way to go. Kind of like paying rent on housing.
That is soooo awesome.
Why couldn't they have figured this out when I was a kid?
Pray that it doesn't cost more than $300-500 to fix it...because that's all we can afford to pay out of pocket...and even that would make things unbearably tight for about a month. I won't even do that until after Christmas.
If it's $700 or so...there's no way we'll be able to pay for it. The car would just sit till Steve graduates and gets another job. Unless we charged it, which I really hate to do...
See why I'm feeling so lost?
Well, the general consensus here in the Hole is "Find out what's wrong". No sense worrying about anything else till after I know what I'm up against.
I mean, what if it was something minor and silly? It probably won't be, but there's a chance...
Any chance the auto place would let you pay in installments?
I doubt it. I'd be too embarrassed to ask. If he tells me it's $600, I'd just bring the car home and save up that much then take it back in when I had it.
Mmm... that's tough. I am so glad my warranty covers almost everything that could go wrong with my car. I'm terrified the engine will break or something and I'll have to get it fixed...
Hehe. See? Be positive... pray that it's a disconnected wire or something.
Now I just have to draw our little hats... and figure how to get the cat in there.... ;~D
This is a rather nice "dream effect" in Photoshop... This is now my desktop :~D
And I rather like this one of me leading all three horses out...
Congrats on getting everyone to sit still for the camera. ;) Is this going to be your Christmas card pic?
Yeah Christmas card pic - I am gonna draw our little hats on and ecurbh will play with it.
The first thing I thought of when I looked at the "dream effect" photo was coming back to reality when the dentitst takes the gas mask off my face.
Ack! It's a two-headed horse!
Nice pictures. That'll be great on cards.
Family Christmas portrait taken!
I suppose I should read the text. (I got distracted by the purty pictures...)
A little ~too~ dreamy ;~D
