The Keeper Of Time Is Blind. And Dumb.

[darklinensuit]

Midnight Fri/Sat: I arrive at my building's garage with my car full of groceries, some frozen. I put the window down to swipe the access card for the garage gate, and I hear a thud, but don't see anything remarkable. I get to my parking space & my window won't go up. I struggle with it, knowing that even in a garage with a guard walking around, the car is not safe to leave overnight. I turn around to try to pull to the unloading area in the garage, which has room for only one car, & an SUV is parked there, now, of all times. Forgetting the window is down I let interesting words fly out of my mouth. The concierge hears me, I tell him my situation, he suggests that I leave the car in a nearby reserved spot that he can see on a video monitor when he gets back to the desk (I decide to do so temporarily - there is no WAY I'm leaving the car alone overnight with the window down), and I struggle to U-turn into the spot (the other car wouldn't move). I get upstairs with the cart after riding with my neighbor-from-hell. I decide to call friends to see if I can park my car in any of their house garages & if someone can drive me home afterwards. It's the weekend & everyone is out until I wake up my friend Risha. As I'm talking I'm unloading groceries, & the chocolate chip cookies explode all over the kitchen. Shattered cookies EVERYWHERE, more interesting words from my mouth. Not having eaten a damned thing all night, I vacuum the crap up (my friends tend to joke that my kitchen needs dusting, not scrubbing, since I don't cook - now it needs vacuuming), though I consider eating off the floor in desperation. I drive several minutes to Risha's beautiful house in a nice neighborhood, but I have to go through a rough part of town with my window down to get there. More than one person approaches my window as I sit at red lights, and what a waste, being that I really should plan to get myself a drug habit or sex addiction for such occasions. The whole time I am SURE it will start raining, but thank goodness it does not. Fast forward, I leave my car at Risha's, she & her teen son drive me back, but we have to stop for gas because her tank almost runs out. This morning I'm up calling dealers & garages - of course none of the good ones can do anything before Monday. Friday night is the worst time for car trouble (other than breaking down in rush hour), I imagine, in that you have to wait the longest.
My point: Do you have good or bad timing? :)

...being that I really should plan to get myself a drug habit or sex addiction for such occasions.

Drug habit and sex addiction? Isn't that just a regular Friday night for you? (see what coming back onto the board will get you?)

My timing is clearly horrendous...always. Last year, the whole car accident with the moron trying to make a k-turn from the shoulder of the road (and into the passenger side of my car). Then, thanks to him hitting my car, even after it was repaired (brand new doors), water would occassionally leak into my car so I had to buy a tarp. The one time I don't, New Jersey ends up flooded and so does my car. I drive home with an inch of water on my passenger side floor.

No, I think the important question would be, is your car under warranty? :laugh: That way the dealership can fix your window.
I've been working with a buyer who is purchasing a home in the Houston market and I am floored as to what type of home you can get for $150,000. :shocked:
But I digress. Sorry for your troubles.

My car is under warranty, but believe it or not, I might take it to a student's parent's garage anyway. It's much closer & quicker, I'm depending on Risha to drive me down, & I have an important appointment on Tuesday, so time & distance matter. Stupid, I know.

The housing market here is amazing. My mom is a realtor on the Main Line & she thinks I'm crazy for not buying when she compares the house market here to there. Of course, you still have to be careful for beautiful homes that are newly reodeled, which means Allyson flooded them badly.
Still, the deals are excellent. I haven't bought because I doubt I'll stay here long-term.

- Jake

[GardenStateGirlie]

Sorry for your troubles.

Don't be sorry for his troubles...be sorry that we won't have footage of him pissed off because he has to sweat his ass off with the window down in that warm Houston weather...and hope he has leather seats :nod:

Fellow Ledgies, can't we pool our funds to send this dear woman a box of Depends?

oops. um, sorry about your troubles, both of you. I probably have bad timing, but I think I may be used to it -

The dealer doesn't give you a loaner? Cheap bastards.
The house I'm talking about is 2500 sq. feet and new construction. I was a
amazed, to say the very least.
You really should buy, if not just for the tax write off alone.

[darklinensuit]

You're just aggravated whenever somebody refers to my troubles & omits your name. You're still #1. Or at least a #2.

No, I don't have leather seats. Everybody down here hates them when it gets hot.

It friggin' snowed here in Boulder today so I forget what warm weather is like now, with the exception of those two glorious days in Vegas... :laugh:

Fellow Ledgies, can't we pool together and send this man a blow up doll and a keg in hopes it'll keep him off of here?

My goal in life has been achieved. I'm a thorn in Jake's hairy ass.

I unfortunately have them and didn't want them. Black car, leather seats... it's like an oven. Tomorrow it's going to be in the 90s.

The dealer might, I don't know that I have the patience to schlep that far out. This city is pretty spread out. Plus dealers never fail to aggravate me. It's almost worth it to pay somebody who won't.

I am considering leaving sooner rather than later, so a house would not be a good investment right now.

If I could've thought of one, I would have typed it, trust me.

I thought we already did that? :confused:

Black leather seats are hell. Mine are tan now. Huge difference.

[GardenStateGirlie]

Shucks, he must have popped a hole in it. I guess we'd better buy him a new one :distress:

[darklinensuit]

Just as well that you don't dig out the armadilla prints from under all your cheetah thongs.

Speaking of TX perversions, have you ever read Molly Ivins where she references the phallic tous? Down here you're not allowed more than five phallic toys under the law or you're a felon. Really. (So I guess you're right, you won't be coming anywhere near here.)

My seats are grey. I really need to purchase seat covers but I think it takes away from the car (if that makes any sense at all).

I heard her talk about this on Air America. I think it was on Majority Report (seriously).
Why the f*ck can't you people manage to get rid of DeLay?

Are you typing in your assless chaps again? :distress:

No, i've not. And if any woman owned more than five (hell, make that one), I'm certain she wouldn't be heading anywhere near you :wavey:

[estranged4life]

My point: Do you have good or bad timing? :)

I have nothing but bad timing, When things get bad they easily go worse before EVER getting better (A prime example is my life since March 7th 2005)

Now you're dreaming. You know I don't type or wear assless clothes.

And I'm happy to "settle for" a woman with less than five, thank you very much.

Ahhh but no comment on the woman and her myriad of phallic toys....cause you know i'm right. Hey, nice to know that Viagra hasn't made you blind yet! Too bad you're taking it for nothing though! :cool:

I'm suddenly envisioning both of you getting waaaaay less sleep than you should...

things were going good until March. In February I found out I had not only 1 older sister but 2 older sisters (Chris & Lesa) but then I lose my Mother on March 21st after a major medical f**kup by an incompetent assclown of a doctor (My older sisters got robbed just less than 2 months after finding their birth Mother).

Add to it since March 21 my health has gone downhill, Been battling severe headaches...And they are still getting worse (Which explains why I am still awake at this moment cause my head is f**kin' killing me).

The only good thing happening is getting to talk to my older sister Lesa daily and Deb having continued cancer-free health.

Wow. You've had a year. I'm sorry about your mother's passing. The situation is terrible. Your sister is lucky to have you in her life.
I am so glad to hear Deb is okay. Is she still working as a nurse, or am I forgetting?

That sounds about right over on this side of the country, too. That's about what I'm sitting on...
