Yay PJ!!! Congrats!!!
Good morning everyone! Looks like it’s my daughters turn with what appears to be a stomach bug. Boo! I was hoping for some grilled pizza for lunch but it looks like it might be chicken soup instead.
Casey Casey Casey........I had to bust out the beatlejuice chant.
Have a great day everyone!

Casey, Casey, Casey -oi, oi , oi!
My technical skills do not allow me to download a pic..it is a Honda CRV 4X4. A cheapie, however I crawled all over it...and have so many junkers (about 20) I know what to look for. Like is there an oil patch on the street behind the car (sometimes owners will move it to hide oil leaks), Knocking in the top of the engine...the colour of the coolant (rust??) etc. No - the car is good. The first good car I bought years ago- was a 'luxury' Ford. This little zippy thing has more gadgets than something with lots of gadgets. The sound system has a remote. I may need to take a short couse on learning how to use it.
I do not thunk it has sunk in yet. It is more than a car- it is a symbol of my hard work (and it has been), being sober and responsible- and freedom. I bought my first car when I was 16...then promptly moved out of my parent's home.
So- thankyou all.
Keep posting everypersons.

no Dee- not the Kingswood- I just had the cigarette lighter chromed!
Mine is a humble '98 model..but in near new condition.
Here is one thing that happened to me just now...I was doing some shopping...and I always gage how much to buy- based on the size of my back pack (40L) and it's weight. I ran out of room and went to buy a plastic bag..when the thought struck me I do not have to do this anymore...there rediscovered...were TROLLEYS!
I just had ignored them b4...for the last 7 years in fact. Not a life changing moment, but good.

BBG- the hardest thing to understand is the sound system . The previous owners had a wizz bang one put in..but there is no book with it. So I have fallen back on the age old method, that men have known since prehistoric times. Use logic..then when that does not work..push all the buttons..faster and faster.... also shouting
