About 5 days ago I started catching up on about 2 weeks of people’s posts. After a few days of not seeing many I realized I wasn’t signed in. Entertainment Weekly is fading away and I won’t renew when the free subscription ends. What used to sometimes top 200 pages is now down to about […]

So they were supposed to come at 8AM today to fix it before the counter installers come at 9AM because it’s supposed to be done before the counters. They […]
The VW was towed today by a car donation agency (a few hours later than the window they set up). It hadn’t been started in three weeks. We jump-started it and it was running rough, and if the jumper cables were removed it would die. Looks like the alternator died while it was sitting there. […]
