Well how the hell things been going with you? Not so great for me, it's taken me a bit to calm down and gather myself enough to try and type a blog, I may not remember all that's happened.... and that may not be all bad.
Got the truck in the shop last Monday (8/5/13) and was given a rental car, a LITTLE rental car lol. 2012 Chevy Sonic (pic below) it really wasn't a bad car, just took figuring a few things out. But with a 25 mile a day limit, didn't really drive very much anyway. I let Matt drive it one night to pick up friend, but after I thought about it, didn't any more. Not so much because don't trust him as much as he simply just wasn't on the rental agreement. Already wondering how going to come up with deductible for truck, no way could pay for a whole repair out of pocket. On the not of deductibles, I remember a time where the shop could kinda "help you out" with the deductible and maybe you wouldn't have to pay all of it (or any of it) but I guess those days are over with everyone having access to the same info and such. I guess that may be why you don't have to get 2-3 estimates anymore, the insurance company pretty much knows the shop can't over charge them.

Work is pretty much work. Overall still a good place to be, but there are certain things that are just crappy. But complaining is almost like bitching didn't get chocolate syrup on ice cream, while knowing others didn't even get supper. But at the same time, if you were promised syrup or lead to believe there would be syrup, you do kind of want it.....right?
My youngest son has ADD (Not same as ADHD, except he isn't hyperactive) he is on medication for this. Ok to back track a bit, he had problems early in school, I thought it might be ADHD or the like, but at that time that diagnosis was easily given and meds quickly prescribed and I didn't want that unless he needed it. However they came a point something had to be done, so went through all the motions, he stated meds and thing were TREMENDOUSLY better. So kick myself in the butt for not doing it sooner. Since then doctors keep a check on him, I keep check with teachers at school and so on, so things, as far as that part goes, are good. The trouble is, I didn't know the med he is on was worth its weight in gold on the street. Growing up I never had to deal with such things or even as an adult and he was younger it wasn't a real issue. But as he got older apparently certain "friends" knew this. Like a FB post I made, that maybe you saw, when I was young my father taught me quick not to mess with other people's stuff. I would also have to say that apparently most of my friends' fathers had done the same. But I guess now a so-called friend will take your shit right out from under your nose. Because after a week of having a new prescription, he now has NONE. Now that is not to say my son is totally blameless, I still haven't figured out why his "friends" knew he was on medication, what it was or where it was. Also with out getting into it, there had been other issues in the past that he was directly more responsible for. Because of that no real reason to call the law and it would be a he said, he said thing anyway, I have no proof other than access. Even if I could get Dr to write new script, no way I could pay for it out of pocket, so guess this will just be a long month for him.
When dropped my truck off at shop, they said should be about 4 days to fix...so Friday evening or maybe Saturday, I was looking for a call....that never came. Sunday at a belated swimming birthday part for my grandson they called and said it was done, had meant to call Saturday and just got busy and forgot. But anyway, say I will come in first thing Monday morning to pick it up. I drive it to work Tuesday, notice it is pulling to the right....and something neither the shop or I noticed the first time a dent on underside of driver's door. Think the dent came from nerf bad getting kicked up into it, the bar was loose after the accident. Just in a hard place to see and not on impact side...so oh well. Go back to the shop when I got off Wed afternoon. Alignment is correct the say, had swapped tires and pulled to left with tires switched, so problem with tire...so there you are, I guess. I know I need a new set, but just another expense can' t handle at the moment. But they are going to fix dent. Bad thing is I'm without a vehicle again for a couple of days, no rental this time. I guess could have done that, but I was just too tired and upset to mess with it. Not I like I really need to go anywhere or would anyway I guess.
Seems like a few other things that have been pissing in my cheerios, but not recalling them at the moment. To continue on that idiom most of the things that have been going on would be just a small amount of piss in my cheerios, probably not even enough to notice, but when you have several things taking a whiz, it adds up. LOL....I really like how I explained that. Sometimes I think life is like that in general, people always pissing in your cheerios, it's just how many you have doing it, how much they do it and how fast you can eat them to try and stay ahead of the taste.
Ok, think I'll end on that semi-high note lol Be well and thank you for your time.
