When it rains it pours doesn't it?? Woke up this morning with a nice flat tire!  |
| |
|  YIPPPPEEE KAY AIE!!!!!
Nothing like waking up and getting ready to head out to the farm, and walk out to my car and find it has a nice flat tire, and I do mean FLAT DOWN TO THE RIM!!!! 
I feel like crap anyway started getting sickly yesterday afternoon, ( you know trotting to the bathroom a lot) chills, miserable cool rainy weather we've had;
and as I said I find this nice flat tire, @@##$%$#@!!!!!!!
So I call my insurance, they come out and take the flat tire off, put on the silly doughnut tire, which had to be aired up, GEEZZ!!
Asked My Father to follow me out to Walmart just in case I had more car trouble
I know he feels like crap too as he has been sick over a week now and he FINALLY
went to the doctor yesterday and had to spend over $150.00 on meds and yeah that's with his medicare insurance too...
Then today I had to go and "bug him" to follow me to Walmart and Guess what?
My poor old Tire could not be fixed there was a screw in the sidewall of the tire;
I had to buy a new tire and My Dad though he is crabby, and b!tching the whole time he usually does come through for me in a time of "need", so he buys two tires this morning for me, That's another $172.40 out of my hide I'll be paying for, plus the lectures, and "stuff" that comes when he has to help me out all the time...
Were it not for him though I would not have been able to buy a tire, I barely had enough to have paid for a tire flat fix, its terrible what stupid tires cost anymore even for my Saturn car; Its just crazy!!
So finally I get home, he got home safe and sound and I Hope he calms down enough to get a nap in this afternoon, as his body needs it, so does mine but I'm too wound up now to rest maybe in a hour or so I can zonk out for awhile;
I cannot believe the things that has had to be fixed, repaired, the last few weeks,
first I needed a new dryer vent hose piece (whatever the darn thing is called),
then I had to order a new washing machine drain hose, and now the most expensive
two new tires....MERCY ME when will it end???
I was needing new tires in fact I could use two more but that's gonna have to wait now til later this summer, gotta get these paid off first;
How's your day, week, Month, Year going??
Mine is a constant thing of worry & stress, & illness, Pain, and more stress and more stress;
I'm hoping This Easter Weekend passes quietly and we don't get into a big fight over this mess; I certainly didn't plan on all this stuff breaking and needing replaced and for sure didn't ask for a flat tire but to hear my Dad in one of his rants, you'd think I did plan it all I did not;
So Happy Easter to all, and I pray yours will be a good one;
Me?? I'm just gonna try to "get through it", and I hope he gets to feeling better and I hope I get to feeling better too;
It's miserable to be "sickly" and then have to plan on cooking, & baking the Easter Meal...(sigh)!!!

| |  lets see...my friend is going through issues with her friends in middle school (i am way older than she is) and now she is clinging to me which makes it hard. There are rumors going around the town about the ministers in my church (which includes me)The summer camp I volunteer at lost one of the major directors which means we need to find more workers when it was hard enough already. I lost my job and can't seem to find a new one.

| |  Sounds like you've got what I had over the past week. Not fun. Finally feeling right yesterday and today. Got more done in two days than in over a week.
As far as the tires go, my feeling is that since you care for him and you provide him transportation to and from doctors when he's really ill or injured, then HE'S providing those tires to keep you able to be available to him. Not that you're trying to depend on him, but he also depends on you, so why not help you to make sure you can? Don't feel guilty or overly beholden - pay him if and when you can, but you do a lot for him. Why not let him help you?

| | Also - get a can of fix-a-flat to keep in your car. Deb used one on her car back in January and the tire is still holding up, believe it or not!! Of course, that's only if the hole is small. You shouldn't expect it to last long, but she hasn't been driving the car at all. | | | |

| | Hey Jerz!! Happy Easter Sunday to you; I keep two cans of the fix-a-flat in my car plus I have a small air tank but I knew by the looks of my flat tire that neither was gonna work for me Friday and since I pay for roadside service on my car insurance I made good use of it and called them to just come fix it for me so I could get to Wally World in one piece I am in no condition to change a tire and the professional even had a hard time getting the tire off;
Yeah I know I do a lot for my Father and he does a lot for me too but you know my situation with him, no matter what I do or don't do, there are going to be lectures along with it...
So yeah I owe him "again" and again and again;
Tell Deb that fix a flat stuff is only a temporary "fix", she needs to get her tire either replaced or something;
HAPPY EASTER!!!! | | | |

| |  Let me tell you what is stressing me out! This a is only this weeks stress! Monday my car died! It was running rough and was going to take in to be looked at tuesday this week. The car couldn't wait and died on me monday! I find ou it needs a new transmission! I really can't afford it but they got a used transmission to put in! Right now it is being put in! Maybe before evening I'll have my car back! If not I'll be picked up and driven home from work like I have been since monday night! With no car I haven't been able to get to my part-time job at the stable wher I board my horse! SoI'm not happy abou that and can't wait to get back out there! Lastly on wednesday night I find two phone messages on my machine!One from my older brother and the one from his wife! Both were the same message! It seems my dad had to taken to the hospital that morning because he was acting weird! It turns out he had a very mild stroke! He'll be ok and have not heard anymore,yet! My dad is a widower and 85! I'm gratefulhis girlfriend checked up on him and got him to the hospital! That is how my week has been going! Take care!

| | Hi there blue65packer: Yikes!! You've got the same kind of luck I do, "rotten".
Sorry to hear you had to have a transmission put in your car, that sucks even a used one is costly enough, been there done that with past cars;
So was anyone else able to get out to your horse at the Stable, surely the people you board it from took care of it since you could not; Would love to see a photo
of your horse sometime, I love horses and I had them when I was growing up on the farm; I miss them !!
And then your Father was having mild strokes, good grief! My Father turns 82 in May,
and his health has been shi!!!TTTTTyyy since January, and well for the last 6 years++ that alone is very stressful isn't it???
I hope you had a good Easter Sunday today and I hope your Father improves;
you said your Dad has a girlfriend at his age?? How cute is that? I hope she Treats him well!!
You take care too and I hope things improve for you;

Easter Dinner went without a hitch, I fixed it all yesterday ( Saturday ) and took it all out to the farm today, just had to heat it all up in the oven and fix the
mashed potatoes, & gravy and lordy me it was soooo good oh yeah the rolls too!
we were stuffed, things went smoothly at the farm ( no lectures today) but now tomorrow is another day, I guess he was giving me a break today...LOL! Thank God!
Yeah when it rains it really does Pour for me in the crappy luck department!!
I'm feeling better but my Dad isn't he ate ok but not like his usual meals so I know he is not up to par yet!!
I'm sitting here laughing my crazy Cat Screamer is in the kitchen and she is trying to open up the cabinet doors which have child proof locks on them all
they drive me nuts but the last tenants here had them so my cat can't get inside
my cabinets in this new place...ROTFL! but I keep hearing the "bang, bang, bang"

| |  Hey Jan~ I'm so sorry for all that mess! I so know what you
mean! I have kind of the same relationship with my mom! It's
like I do stuff on purpose! It's my fault when something breaks
down and I can't afford to have it fixed! I hear ya loud and
clear! OMFG! It's like it never phucking ends! I can't tell
you how many times this stuff has happened to me! I can cry
with ya, but WTF! I do hope that you will be feeling better,
and your Dad will calm down and you will be able to somehow
enjoy your Easter? I am going to visit "mommie dearest" next
month in Florida! That should be a joy and a half! I will let
you know more as the time grows closer for my trip to hell!

| | Hey jan! Happy Easter! I'm so glad that you made it through
without anything serious happening! I am cooking my turkey
as I'm typing! It is taking forever, as they seem to do! I
have been having one hell of a time too! Got the work that
I can have SSI, but not SSDI so I am very upset! That amount
will only pay the friggin rent and nothing left! So I have to
find out if I can appeal! I worked over 30 phucking years and
that's all they want to give me! And I have some stupid firm
representing me! I got the letter yesterday so I have to wait
until tomorrow to find out if I can appeal! I had another fight
with "mommie dearest"! I can't deal with her! Ya wanna trade!
I can't talk to her! She is nuts! She's 79 and has a temper
that you just wouldn't believe! I am dreading this trip more
and more! | | | |

| | Some of these sickly spells just hang on and hang on. I took antibiotics for an upper respiratory thing but I still have a hefty cough to deal with. It does seem that if one thing in your life breaks a whole trail of other things do too, out of jealousy.I am still needing the extra sleep, so I will get it this evening, I hope. I keep trying to post here and it just loads so slowly. I can hardly stand it. Have a quiet and restful Easter, Jan. | | | | | | |

| | HI ya Gerty: Yeah some of those nasty respiratory things hang on forever and he also has emphysema, and his upper right lobe on his lung was removed about 5 years ago from lung cancer and now he has heart problems so health has really just gotten so bad in this past year; He has the shakes really bad too, I am always fearful of him dropping something now and him burning himself; its always something in my family or with my own crappy health and issues;
I hope you and your family are having a good Easter Sunday today; Hard to believe
its Easter already, its been chilly and dreary here all day, no rain as yet but a typical Missouri Easter...(G)!!

| |  I hope your dad is feeling better by now. He has an excuse to feel grumpy so do not be too hard on him, it is no fun being sick.
You are lucky in a way. I went to the drug store [long story] and when I came out the car would not start. Luckily I had CAA and they tried to start me but could not so they towed me to Canadian Tire. This was at 10 oclock at night so I was not in a good mood. So I end up spending 500 dollars for a starter [and I needed an oil change which I was going to get already] then they tell me my battery is no good [has not given me problems yet but I guess I better change it, I know it is at least 5 years old, but who knows] so tack on another 100 dollars. So 600 dollars later I get my car back.  Oh I forgot 20 dollars taxi ride to get back to the garage. Next month I have to go for Drive Clean which the car should pass, probably about 50 dollars, plus my new license plates, 75$. Plus my insurance is coming up another 500 dollars. I am pretty much broke by now, so I guess I had better start answering some myLot questions. Let's see, 1 cent a post it will take me to pay off the 1,250 dollars only 125,000 posts so I had better get busy.

| | OH Mariposaman: Wow! You Win you've got far worse car debt and problems than my tires...YIKES!!!
I'm sorry you are having to go through all of this, there's no way I could afford all of that, not on my disability that's for sure;
I've got to get my car tags this month too, I've already had the inspection;
Can you pay your car insurance there in Canada by the month? That's what I do as I just can't come up with like 3 months or 6 months at a time or a year of car insurance I've had to do it month by month ever since I went on Disability; it sucks but its easier to come up with that the 3 or 6 months or a years worth at a time you know?
I'm not sure all that posting in mylot will help you out that much (G)!!
I'd need a new set of fingers from all that typing to pay for my car bills or well any bills...
I hope your Easter is going smoothly for you and you are having a Happy one;
good luck to you and for your car, YIkes!!!

| |  There are many times we can relate with what you are going thru, as it does tend to sometimes feel like when it rains, it pours and things will never get any better. We had to put brand New tires on our Car back the end of November, and luckily my husband gets a Christmas Bonus from where he works that helped pay for this as well. But all I can tell you is do not give up hope. If you are a praying person keep your chin up, and Trust God things will improve and everything in time will be OK. Wishing you the Best.
