  1. Having a car accident today. This is just not my week! Everything's fine except for the car though so I guess I should be happy...

    Any car accident you walk away from is a good car accident! Well, sort of. You know what I mean. Glad you are okay.

    I like how you listed the suspension components that might be damaged. I think most people could not identify them.

    Sad indeed about HMV, I have been a supporter.

    Happy birthday Fool In The Rain!

  2. Thanks, MINI.

    You know what started scaring me more? The thought of my baby being in the drivers seat instead of me ( in a few months).

    I am so not ready for this!!!

    My "baby" will be 16 in April, not looking forward to it either! I was a driving instructor for 16 years though so she will get thorough lessons from me. I also will enter her in some of the driving competitions that I compete in, I want her armed with as much knowledge, skill and experience as possible.

    Wow, I just realised 16 years of teaching and I've been out of it for 11 now. I really did start when I was two!

  3. My AAA membership!

    I was driving home after work today on a major highway at a moderate speed when my car DIED. Luckily I was able to get into the breakdown lane before anything bad happened.

    I immediately called 911 so the local police could send a car. All I could see were tractor trailers in my rear view mirror coming straight at me. Of course, they weren't, but my car was swaying!

    I was able to get a tow to the shop I usually go to and they had a rental car also! Sigh.

    If you don't have AAA, get it.

    :)

    Glad you're okay! Didn't sound like a fun experience. I have CAA, same thing, and if I never use it I'm okay with that but it sure is worth every penny when you do.

  4. Hmmmm...what made me happy today?

    Well first it IS Friday! Good start. At work we get jobs that are known as "Friday jobs", and to get a Friday job on a Friday is not as common as we would like. Today I got a Friday job!! Yee ha!

    Next, the wind has finally died down and the temperature has risen a bit. Wind chills in the minus 30's has been hitting us all week. And I work outside!

    My daughter and her mother are getting on a bit better this week, finally. And she (my daughter) will be with me for the weekend!

    I am happy I can say I have two "best" friends. The discussion here reminds me how fortunate I am to have those friends.

    Now, what colour will I paint my toena...um, tools! Ya, paint my tools, that's it! Enjoy your weekend everyone! :-)

  5. Second snow storm in a week happening here! Last one was Thursday evening/night. That one had wet heavy stuff, this one so far is lighter. I've been out to shovel off my front step already, there was a 2 foot drift, almost couldn't open my door!

    It's snowing now.

    Good thing I took my daughter out driving this morning!

    I think we are getting the same storm.

    You took your daughter out driving this morning...is she just learning to drive? My daughter will be 16 in just a couple of months, I'm not looking forward to her driving in these conditions.

  6. I have handled many things in my job, not many new things any more though. Tomorrow will be a new one for me, I'll be lifting an MRI unit out of one of our local hospitals. Apparently there is an opening in the roof that we can get it out. A good Friday job.

    Now to get those cards finished and ready to mail.

  7. Joe (Liverpool)

    Hope you are well, keep us posted.

    Sorry to hear what has happened. A co-worker witnessed 2 construction workers fall from a platform today. Both seriously injured. When he got back to work he was visibly distraught. Not pleasant for anyone.

    Planted

    Sorry to hear about such a loss. It does remind me though to be thankful of such people. My late uncle was at one time Canada's longest surviving kidney transplant survivor. He lived more than 25 years after his transplant.

  8. Looked out of the bedroom window this morning and a big fat Pheasant was pecking away under the plum tree in the garden where I have a bird feeder full of sunflower seeds. Not sure what sex it was but I will name it Dennis, for no apparent reason. :D

    We have Pheasants around here too, though not native to these parts. Here the male and female are easy to distinguish. Like ducks the male is very colorful and the female is quite plain.

    So unlike the human race...our females are the most beautiful.

  9. Hotel Transylvania!

    Hey, I needed something light on the head. And I needed to laugh, which I did. I took my sister, her kids, my daughter and my brothers son. Ages 9 to forty something. We all laughed. Out loud too.

    This had child humor as well as adult humor. Not X rated, just humor that an adult is likely to understand.
