I spoke to my mom on the phone this morning. She still sounds pretty weak but she will be ok. She just needs to stay put, listen to her doctor and stop fecking smoking!
She scared the shit out of me so now that the threat of losing her is going, I'm pretty angry. She chain smokes and that is why she got the lung infection in the first place. I just know that in a few days, she'll be feeling better and she'll light up again. Even though she promises me she wont.
I'm just grateful that for now, her life does not seem to be at risk anymore.
Thank you so much for your well wishes, they certainly help in times like these xxx |

My mom is pretty ill and I have no idea what is happening. I'm pretty stressed and everyone keeps telling me to stay put and not rush up there but I feel totally helpless and confused. I just hope she's going to be ok.
I only have one parent left and I don't handle things like this very well.
I hate that nobody will tell me what is really wrong. |

Dude, I was in Detroit! Ford city at the time. Not only did I drive to the dealerships but the freakin' factory!
Down the FORD expressway, mind you! LOL!!! Yeah, I CAN blame them.

| it's about TIME!!! the saxon CD I ordered from the music store on feb.18th finally arrived yesterday! back when i ordered it, i was told it would be there in 2 WEEKS! and it took over 1/2 a year! |

| All this talk about bulbs reminded me I need to change a tail light that can't seem to make up it's mind whether it's burnt out or still has some life left in it - lol Think I'll go ahead and change both. Fortunately, all I have to dismantle are the tail light covers nowhere near being attached to the fender! Thank the Jeep engineers ... simple minds think alike - lol That's why I love the old Jeeps ... not a lot of components and easy to fix! ; ) |

modern cars are put together with no regard for repair later, much less customization. the first Magnum we had on fleet a bird hit the headlight. had to remove the bumper and fender to install new light. 5 hour job. The good news is the worst new cars are still way more reliable than the best from the 80's (or older). still, the old cars were easy to work on compared to now. supose thats good cause you had too.
