OT-My week from Hell

Just for the heck of it, let me tell you the tale of woe about my crum-bum week.First I discovered that the headlight on the passenger side of my car is missing the plastic cover. Whether it just fell off, or someone needed the part (it's a 98 model) who knows, but it's going to cost over $100 to replace, and that's a bargain price.Second, one of my important items around the house isn't working correctly and giving me a big headache.Then the topper. I head a crunch when I went out of the garage this morning and didn't pay attention. When I came home I saw a black ring on the floor. Idiot that I am I picked it up to see what it was and immediately got grease all over my hands and the front of my pants. If that wasn't enough aggravation I noticed that it was one of the rollers that go into the track of the door. I called the repair people only to find out that because of the rotten economy they had to let a couple of their repair people go and one is on vacation next week and the other is swamped with business so they can't come until next Friday. The suggestion was that if possible I don't use the door at all so it doesn't get twisted if it comes off the track completely. Now I have to leave the car with the uncovered headlamp out in the storm Florida weather.Damned house!!!Lucille

Well, he's headed to Germany for a while, next summer, but that doesn't really count. I've thought about sending him to work on a Habitat for Humanity home a few times.

Nah- you'd jus be a way station to visit the relatives. A few months on the potato farm would be good for him. C

I've enjoyed doing both, but not for a living.

OMG, the light has gone on reading this conversation. When DS was in highschool, about 5 of his friends were here all the time. I (underline underline underline) was that place where all the other parents shipped the moody teenage boys!!!

Dawne PS Without exception, they grew up to be wonderful men, even the one (a friend of DD) who wore a housedress and army boots for a number of rather fraught months.
