Quote from: bk on November 03, 2021, 03:59:28 PMUnbelievable BS today. Car battery dead - completely drained. Couldn't even open the front door and so had to use the key that's within the fob. Great. But my charger was in the trunk. No key, and I thought you could pop the trunk from inside the car, just as you can pop the hood. But noooo - that's electrical, unlike the hood. So, had to pay ninety bucks (up from the last time) to get it charged. I now know I have to just keep this thing in the house or just bring it with me in the front seat whenever I drive somewhere. I'm so tired of dealing with this crap I can't tell you. But here's the idiocy: the AAA had JUST removed ninety bucks from my account to renew. But even though they took the dough, the renewal actually doesn't begin for another seven days - and they wouldn't do the battery thing for free even though the new period is just seven days away. So, as soon as I finished booking the guy, I told them to refund my money and that I was done with them. So, the refund will pay for the guy coming out today. Who needs this? Certainly not I.Were you late renewing causing the delay? I can't think of any other reason the renewal wasn't continuous.

News Flash:The "$3.00 Bundle" at McDonald's is now $3.50.
I had the O'Charley's famous cheeseburger & fries. And since it was free pie day, I brought home a slice of pecan pie.And we had a very good server who was pleasant from beginning to end...... Carol had endless soup (potato cheese) and salad - the bill was only $24.90 not including the tip.....
The bad news: I just learned that my grade school best friend, John Hawkins, has died. He and his brother Tom lived down the street from us on Park Drive. We were friends until we lost touch when his family moved, and DR Ginny's husband Richard became my best friend from Junior High through high school. About twenty-five years ago, John called me out of the blue and we reconnected. About five years ago, I told him he should come and visit me in NYC. He didn't take me up on my offer, aqnd just this morning, before I got the email about his death, I was thinking about him, and thinking, if he came to New York now to visit, I'd be a poor guide on that damned walker.
For lunch I had a Cadbury fruit & nut bar, and for dinner I had frozen brussel sprouts and a fried egg sandwich. Are my stars in collision?
