Happy Birthday to DS Rob

vixmom · « **Reply #182 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:03:55 PM »

the bad news was there was an almighty BANG!! under the bonnet of Vixdad's car - the car had a sudden hard shift . all the indicator lights came on and then all the dashboard lights went out. The headlamps began to dim and we were on a 6 lane highway

vixmom · « **Reply #183 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:04:17 PM »

the good news was that we were right near a shopping center and were able to turn into it

vixmom · « **Reply #184 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:05:00 PM »

the bad news is the car stopped dead and would not restart

vixmom · « **Reply #185 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:05:17 PM »

I'm suspecting there's a high terrorist threat, possibly 9/11 alarms, in NYC at the moment: lots of subway alerts about untended bags and an interview on tv this morning about Al Quaeda and twrrorsit activities.

So, no word on nonregional Blu-ray players?

I still can't remember if I can watch Blu-ray and non Blu-ray DVDs on a Blu-ray player, but I can or can't play Blu-ray on a regular DVD player. Is this correct?

the bad news is the cell phone connection was horrendous and we were having trouble getting through

vixmom · « **Reply #188 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:07:30 PM »

the good news is the big truck directly behind us when we broke down was the AAA flatbed town truck for that area

vixmom · « **Reply #189 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:08:12 PM »

the bad news is that the alternator is dead

TCB · « **Reply #190 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:08:20 PM »

Oh no!

vixmom · « **Reply #191 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:09:10 PM »

the good news is that we have a mechanical breakdown policy on that car so we would "only" have to pay the $250 deductible

DR TD it is good you have Miss Molly to get you moving tomorrow morning.

vixmom · « **Reply #194 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:10:22 PM »

the really crappy news is the mechanic found an additional $1000 worth of repairs that needed doing that are not included under the warranty

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #195 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:10:38 PM »

Intermission!

TCB, you CAN play DVDs and Blu-ray discs on a Blu-ray player. You CANNOT play Blu-ray discs on a DVD player.

At the beginning of the story I thought the bad news was going to have something to do with the Chinese food

Vixmom I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner FIRST.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #207 on:** September 07, 2011, 06:14:20 PM »

I am hoping someone outbids me for an alto saxophone on eBay. I've been trying to buy one for a week or two and kept getting sniped or whatever they call it, so I bid on two of them and got the first one and am still winning the second....I hope someone wants it, lol...if not I'll be selling one of them
