O.K. ...I PICKED UP MY NEW CAR ON TUES. NIGHT...I NOTICED THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE BLACK TAPE ON THE DASHBOARD.....THEN I FOUND A GASKET IN A SECOND PLACE THAT WAS STICKING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD....THEN THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND THAT THE WHOLE DASHBOARD WAS MISALIGNED......BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN THIS MONDAY.....WELL TODAY A BUTTON ON THE HEAT/AIRCON...FELL OFF IN MY HANDS....THEN I WENT TO ADJUST THE TILT WHEEL...AND A LARGE PIECE OF THE DASH FELL OFF ... !! I CALLED MY BEST FRIEND...AND HE TOLD ME A FRIENDS WIFE WHO WAS TERMINALLY ILL DIED ON THANKSGIVING....WE ALL KNEW SHE WAS NOT WELL....BUT TO HAVE A LOVED ONE DIE ON A HOLIDAY.......SOO...I CALLED MY FAMILY TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE CAR (MY FATHER CAN ALWAY USE A GOOD LAUGH)....I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE CAR......AND THEN OUT OF THE BLUE HE SAYS...."YOU KNOW THEY FOUND A MASS IN YOUR MOTHERS STOMACH."...I HAD NO IDEA....AND THEN I ASKED ABOUT HOW BIG IT WAS....AND HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL.....AARRGG....OF COURSE I KNOW HOW BAD THAT IS.....WELL....I NOW DO NOT FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS SUCH A BIG DEAL...MY MOTHER HAS LIVED ON THE "CAN DIET" FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER IT CONSISTS OF Caffiene...Alcohol and Nicotene....WELL IT COULD BE A LONG WINTER. MY MOTHER ONLY WEIGHS 95 LBS......SO SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT AS IT IS........OH AND I HAVE BEEN EATING NONSTOP CRAP.....IS IT SPRING YET?
Sean - STEP AWAY FROM THE CRAP (food that is)!!!!
Take a deep breath and go spend some time with your mom!
PS: Don't take the new car - don't know what the hell else could fall off or break... you did say new car right?
The car caper may be god's way of making you smile in light of everything else that's going on in your families' life.
Sending big hugs and prayers your way!
