Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Oh my dear, Life just does not always get easier does it? Carole, if it were me, first I would be hurt because my feelings would be shot at that point ;0( Then I would take some anti-inflammatory if I had it & put a heating pad on my back and stay off my feet as long as possible for the weekend and then worry about the car to get you and Al around next, because as you say, you have to have one after all, even if it is a clunker and worry about making arrangements somehow for the rest with an assistance program if available later. My thoughts are with you dear. I'll send wings k? Lot's of luv, ouchie ouchie need prayrrs for strength Could use some prayers for us please. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Carole darling, I'm so sorry! Just when things were starting to look a little bit more in your favor too! OK, let's start with the ego thing. Forget about it, honey. I don't too many healthy people that can climb into one of those trucks. I have a sister that used to repo cars and once in a great while had to drive one of those trucks. She always told me she hoped no one would see her try to get into that monster, she would have to find a way to get her leg up, grab hold of the steering wheel and jump up. She used to fall to her knees getting out of the thing too. Needless to say, she sold her repo company and no longer does anything like that anymore. So, you're not alone. As for the car, have you tried bartering? It's a thought. My husband's cousin's wife (Yeah, I had to check that a few times before I typed it) used to work for a barter company in Hollywood. I'll have to find out the name of the place for you. They also had dentists on barter I believe. Here's another one. A girlfriend of mine has a website where she sells discount dental " insurance " . I'll send you the link privately if you'd like. I just wish I could do more for you. Let me know how you're doing when you have a chance and give Al a kiss and hug from me. Feel better honey. Take care and be well. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Prayers are coming your way... Hugs, -- ouchie ouchie need prayrrs for strength So, we went out garage saling early this morning and found a few treasures to resell on ebay. The car was acting upset. It's 16 years old with almost 200,000 miles and doesn't owe us a dime but it kept conking out every time we stopped and eventually wouldn't start at all. Ended up calling AAA and they picked it up to tow. I got into this giant truck with Al having to push my butt to get me into the seat (ouch for the ego) and when I got out at home, I really hit my neuropathy laden foot when I landed and it really hurts now along with the back. Obviously I didn't land right. I'm really worried about the car. Al's getting a tooth pulled Tuesday for $400 that we don't have, we're behind 6 weeks in rent and now this. I can't imagine what this will cost and even whether we should get it fixed. But we certainly can't afford another car, so I don't know what to do. It's always something, ain't it? So, I don't know which is hurt the worst, my ego cuz I couldn't get in/out of this huge tow truck, my leg/back cuz I landed wrong, or my pocketbook cuz we have so many money problems. Could use some prayers for us please. Thanks Carole in Hollywood FL **************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape. http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
