In 2011 my friend's father went missing.  She had to call and pester news stations to finally get them to report his story.  I helped by calling homeless shelters in the area to see if a nameless man fitting his description was there.  Finally her father was found where his car went off the road.  It was not a happing ending but the family no longer had to worry and wonder where he was.

He was found because another car went off the road in the exact same embankment about a week later.  Fortunately that man survived and was able to call for help.

Rodzinski I am sorry about your garage door.  Vibes the fix is easy.

And Mrs R is not happy with me.

I get that.  I would not be happy to have to leave the cars out when it is cold.

I got into the habit of not starting my car until my garage door is completely open.  I think I have an irrational fear of suffocating from the exhaust fumes, even though I know that that can't happen in such a short amount of time. ::)

I am with you on that.  I may not sufficate but the fumes make me sick.

Will return one day when my mood is more positive.

I do try to keep up with the notes and posts.

It is good to see you posting even if nothing has improved.  I do hope you are getting closer to your goal of moving.

Garage door vibes for DR Rodzinski. And some driving vibes.

Ditto!

I'm about to head out for my event. I hope 1) people show up and 2) people eat these muffins.

I hope so.

Thanks for all garage door vibes and stories. George actually triggered for me why it happened. I was getting kids and presents and stuff in car and had not opened the garage door. I got in and reflexively started the car and was like, yikes I don’t want to be in a closed garage with car running, and as I’m thinking that, I started backing up but I went faster than the door was opening and [cue ugly sound from behind me].

My hope is I can just order the bottom panel that I f’d up. Then I gotta get someone to install it. Otherwise I have to have someone out twice. Companies like to charge 3-400 bucks just to come up here. I’d like to not involve insurance but if whole door needs replacing, might have to.

Good luck it works out the way you want it to, with a shorter time frame.

I thought it was a great word until I read the full definition.  To my shock it was the twat portion of the word that I find unacceptable.

Somehow simply calling someone a waffle doesn't sound as good ;D

Too late for DR Laura's event today, I found this idea.

You can coat pretzel sticks in white chocolate and make a fake spent ashtray.        :P

WTH??  I had actually typed "Live..." but my automatic spelling corrector changed it to "Lice"! :o

That's pretty...inventive.  But what's the "ash" made of??

The ash is probably silver/gray sugar crystals.  I do love it.
