I'm getting a little worried about this next week. Its going to be
the coldest week of the year so far. And I'm so hoping its going
to be the coldest of the year period. Its going to mean I'm
probably going to have to cancel Derrick's Medical alert on Thursday
ahead of time, because my car wont start that day, its to be
in the negatives Tuesday, Wednesday and THursday for sure.

Um, -10 to -30 I think so I know I wont be going anywhere.

I'll be lucky if I can keep warm. Its just life in my area of the
woods. I've even been thinking of taking off to somewhere
warmer, but heehee where.

Korni loaned her car to a friend of her's thankfully she has insurance
liability for sure. Haven't asked if more than that.

But he was visiting a friend, who is dying soon. For the last time,
He fell asleep at the wheel bringing her car back, less than two blocks
from her apartment, and totaled it. Hitting a brick house. I feel
so sorry for her. She now has to get a new car seat let alone, try
and buy a new car. He is pretty much homeless. Luckily someone
is letting him and his wife live in a place they own that they get
utilities I think from the place, I think its a place that they over see.
To make sure it doesn't get robbed, don't think owners are there.

I’m so glad you are going to stay in during that terrible cold snap, Donna. I hope you can stay toasty inside :hug::hug::hug:

Poor Kortni!!! I hope everything works out okay for her! :hug:

My son Dan came to her rescue yesterday. When he and my
husband Dale went to town last night. I was supposed to pick
her up a car seat. He did.

I'm so pleased with him. They also took Derrick's dog Doby home,
and the three of them went out to eat and to a couple places.
I wasn't feeling well but was asked to go. If I had felt better I
would have gone.

Bizi, Yes, they are, and I can say for sure they are getting this
mess too. There schools in the area were cancelled on Friday.
Nothing about tomorrow yet. But we all got snow last night and
yesterday and the low numbers and teens in lows today. Not
sure if the negatives with wind chill. I'm just glad I have a warm
house.

I'll do what I can to help Kortni, but it will have to wait on warmer
weather. I was going to go get them so they could visit with Dan
this mornign but my car door wouldn't open, for me or Dan.
He really tried.

I read on the weather channel site that the negatives were with the wind chills, but those low, low temps are bad enough. I feel so badly for everyone going through it :hug::hug::hug:

I'm glad to hear that Dan is doing well, Donna :hug:

I'm sorry about your car. What a PITA. I wish you could get a new one :hug:

The problem with my car is its a PT cruiser and I love it.

Its the one I had wanted for years. And I really don't want
a new one. And I'm getting my mom's as soon as my sister
gets back from there cruise if the title has come in.

But my husband has been looking for me a new car for a while
now. That is the problem, he likes to buy new vehicles but
other than asking what I like he then goes to buy it without me.
Most of the time anymore. I personally would rather be in
the looking too. But this kind of weather no thanks.

I just cancelled the one thing I was doing this week for sure thanks
to this weather. Its just to cold. But its okay, the medic alert
will be back scheduled after the guy is back from vacation.
And hopefully the weather is more co-operative

One day hubby called me and said I needed to get home before 5:00 p.m. to pick up a car that he bought for me.


=-=-

I was busy doing errands but he was insistent.

I went with him and drove the car home.
It saved me the B.S. of hearing a word
from the salesman.



I like the car and because hubby likes the car he takes it in for maintenance
and such.

Yes, my husband used to let me have a say this last one
I had been wanting an pt Cruiser for a long time. And he
knew it. I didn't realize he was looking for me one. We would
go to lots and I'd look at pt cruisers just to look. Because they
were always to high in price to him. So I was really surprised
when it was in my drive. But its probably the only car he has
not let me help pick out.

Which was really not true it was my dream car, other than he
always thinks we need red vehicles. So its red.
