I’m so sorry for your loss, Starsaber.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
My car is being a pain in the ass. It’s anti-theft system is acting up and randomly deciding I’m trying to steal it, keeping me from starting the engine for 10 minutes.
Last time I got my oil changed, I asked the mechanics to take a look at it and they said it would cost about $800 to fix because it would involve replacing one of the computers. Since I figure I’m about 4 months from getting a new car, I didn’t think it was worth the cost, but now the problem’s happening more often. It’s just damn annoying.
Get a second opinion. I had the same problem a while back. In the end, it was the starter. Replaced that and the problem went away. I know it sounds strange, which is why it took so long for me to diagnose. Every so often the car wouldn’t start but the anti-theft was going crazy. I thot maybe I changed a setting or enabled something accidentally.
My car is a 2000 Taurus. Not sure if you have something newer and they use a different component to start cars now-a-days. Anywho, get a second opinion.
99 Oldsmobile Cutlass. This happened a few years ago and it was the ignition cylender then.
The really annoying thing is since I’m single, getting my car to a shop is really inconvenient.
Apropos of nothing: I hate grading.
Me too.
Also: silly snow! I couldn’t see the lunar eclipse last night
Three weeks ago, my aunt died of breast cancer after a 5 year battle. Today, my favorite uncle had a heart attack. He’s going in for a triple bypass either tonight or tomorrow.
Ouch. Hope you manage to have a merry Christmas despite everything.
So sorry to hear about your Aunt and I hope your Uncle’s surgery goes well.
So sorry to hear about both your aunt and uncle. Best wishes to you and your family and I hope the surgery goes smoothly.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and well wishes, it means a great deal to me and my family. We still don’t have any news about when my uncle with have surgery. The doctor told us that he’s having complications from his diabetes, which is shutting down his kidneys. He also has sleep apnea and they are trying to get his oxygen levels in his blood up before they go in for the triple bypass.
The mother of one of BrettAZ’s friends died yesterday after battling cancer (pancrias- sp?) for a year. She wasn’t someone I knew well at all, but a lovely, lovely woman and her daughter was Brett’s first real crush (she crushed on him right back). As a parent, a million things go through your head when stuff like this happens to someone else, but mostly I just feel sad for the family.
Aimee- I hope everything will be okay with your uncle.
So, it’s 9:30 on a Friday night and I’ve been in bed for an hour. My shoulder injury flared up again after I fell ice skating with my oldest on new year’s eve and it’s caused so much pain that I haven’t been able to sleep for about four or five days now except for an hour at a time or so (last night was the best, with a four or five hour stretch before the pain really turned it up and I had to get out of bed). I’ve return to physical therapy (they think it’s a slipped disk now aggravating the former pinched tendon) and got some nice drugs from my doctor today, and used Christmas money on a massage this afternoon, so I’m just laying back and nursing it (I fly off for 10 days in Europe a week from Monday and don’t really want to be in pain when I do that).
All this, of course, while The Mrs. is recovering from surgery and needing my help. Augh!
Life sucked this week because,My dad dies Wensday morning, he was 89, I received his ashes today.
I’m so sorry, Star Raven.
