$2500 bucks, that's what it's going to cost to get the car fixed. ~sighs~ Seriously beginning to look like I won't be getting the book republished in Nov. Damn it.

TurtleStage5: Sheesh, for that you could look at buying a new used car. : (
Really bites.
|
|
July 24 at 3:27PM
|
|
| Arkine: Yep, but our thought was, what kinds of problems is the new used car going to have? At least with this one, we already know what's wrong.

TurtleStage5: Bad credit verse no credit. Probably best.
Back in the day, my mom really know how to work her barber chair. She would find a used car for a few thousand dollars that was ten years old but only had like 30,000 miles on it. Cars used to drive to Bingo and back...
I had a car that dropped a transmission though, my little tempo named Cleo. I had it fixed and it lasted me many more years, and then I gave it to my dad, who drove it for many more after that.

|
|
| Arkine: I'm hoping this one lasts us at least a couple of years after this repair job. If it does then it's worth it, if not ... well, you take your chances I guess.

| Alison Williams: Cars are a sinkhole! I remember having to pay that for a reconditioned engine in an old car I had, a few months later it got stolen and trashed, had to be written off. I have come to the conclusion that cars are a sinkhole, even new ones still cost money! Hugs.

And now the electric dryer that we've only had for 2 years is broke ... I wish they'd start making stuff to last again. That would be nice.
|
|
July 22 at 12:49AM
|
TurtleStage5: The days of not cheap crap are pretty much over. It's much more lucrative to make crap, so it will break, so you have to buy more crap.
|
|
July 22 at 8:07PM
|
|
| Arkine: Yep, this will probably cost us $200 ... almost could have bought a new dryer for that.

|
| TurtleStage5: my mom tried to sue me once.
|
|
July 18 at 12:58PM

|
| Arkine: Okay, my issue wasn't THAT bad at least. Though, I'm extremely curious about the story behind that.

Damn grasshoppers ate my new bushes!
|

shelley kaye: is this a euphormism (sp?) for something? lol
|
|
July 11 at 12:36PM
|
|
| Arkine: ~LOL~ No, it's literal, the stupid grasshoppers are bad this year. Though, they left the two pine trees alone.
|
|
July 11 at 2:20PM
|
|
| Jonez08: lol..In Florida grasshoppers aren't a problem, at least not at my house, but lizzards are(the one's that look like miniature dinosaurs) and of course those slithering snakes that I despise.

|

July 12 at 8:16PM

| Arkine: I'd take lizards over grasshoppers, and snakes--I shoot them. ~L~
|

|
| Jonez08: lol ... I guess I'm a wimp
|
|
July 13 at 2:04PM
|
|
| Arkine: ~L~ I doubt very much you're a wimp. I just grew up mainly with my dad and the other boys in the neighborhood as friends. ;)
|

| Jonez08: Well you've taught me something, just shoot them..lol

~bangs head against wall~ Everyone wants a chunk of my time. ~L~
|
|
July 8 at 1:07PM
|
| lpstribling: By that you 'mean everyone by lpstribling', right? I mean, I don't. I mean, if you want to donate some of your time to me, that's..that's fine. I'm just sayin' that, that I don't want a chunk. Okay, okay, maybe a bit, like a morsel, but nothing more. Well, okay, maybe more than a morsel..umm, maybe a dollop, but that's it, a dollop, max. Period. ... Okay, fine a chunk. But not nearly the size of chunks these other greedy beasts are ripping out of you!

July 8 at 11:40PM

I have less than a week to complete a stem wall under my house. Oh joy....
|
|
July 1 at 6:51PM
|
| another jim: I'd swing by your place to help with that stem wall, if I knew what one was...but I'm too damned lazy to google it! LOL!
|
|
July 2 at 10:42AM
|
|
| Arkine: ~LOL~ A small wall that goes under a mobile home, doesn't really support anything, just looks nice. But the appraiser is coming out next week so I gotta get it done!

Okay so apparently I'm now going for training. Most likely won't be on at all next week, though I'll try to beg/borrow a computer and internet access while I'm away. But, if you don't hear from me, that's why.
|
|
June 20 at 1:25PM
|
| TurtleStage5: Take care and hoping for a good week of training for you. And don't pet any raccoons. Not that I think your foolish enough to do so, but just in case.
|

Pet raccoons? *LOL*

Blah, nasty! Nasty hamburgers, and I cooked them! Word of advice, cough up the dough and buy the more expensive frozen hamburger patties, they're well worth the cost. These cheapos ... I'm not even sure it's actually meat.
|
|
June 18 at 4:11PM
|
TurtleStage5: Hmmm, that and peanut butter... don't skimp on peanut butter. Or ice cream!
Unless the icecream is for kids... I don't think they can tell. But they can tell on the peanut butter.
|
|
June 18 at 5:35PM
|
|
| Arkine: Actually, the cheapo ice cream at our local store isn't bad at all, but yeah, definitely name brand on the peanut butter.
|
|
June 18 at 7:37PM
|
|
| Arkine: I think I'll cook the patties ... and give them to the dogs, they'll be thrilled. Blah, nasty meat.

Arkine:
~grumbles~ Well, I think I finally figured out the problem with Book 1 ... the entire plot. ~wanders off to do a complete tear-down and rewrite~ Oh yes, if you're wondering another rejection arrived a few days ago. Maybe this time I'll get it right.
|
|
June 17 at 12:32AM
|
TurtleStage5: I'm sorry to hear that another rejection letter came. The very thought tends to leave me discombobulated. Will you be posting the rewrites?
|
|
June 17 at 12:57AM
|
|
| Arkine: I'm not sure. It is a different story, but some themes will remain the same. I posted it here before, the first time I rewrote it. But, I also want to get this done as quickly as possible so, I probably wouldn't be putting much of a reward on it. I already re-vamped the prologue and am working on Chapter 1. Maybe I should put it to a vote? ~L~
