Up from a nap.

I just spent the last hour rebuilding the three CDs of Babes in Toyland. About 2/3 was there, but the missing third was a bitch to locate all thew pieces.

DR JohnG, last night I watched Hundred of Beavers. What drugs were they on? I did laugh a lot, but by the end I just wanted it over.

DR JANE I don't plan on having ANY more contact with the place.....of any kind.

I'm up, I'm up - eight and a half hours of sleep.

I was up at eleven.

And this certainly isn't MY idea of a damn ME day.

Awoke to a text from the insurance company saying the cost of the repairs after they did the teardown on the car was too much compared to the valuation of the car. I was - upset.

And I have spent the last three HOURS dealing with it.

Is that where you also had your eyes checked?

I'm sorry. I thought they had approved it before you left your car.

What they're willing to pay me isn't unreasonable, and I actually found a car I'd be happy with - similar mileage, a year younger than mine, a four door instead of two-door, and more goodies that mine didn't have. Photos show the car to be in very good condition, I can keep my license plates if I want to, but don't know how that works exactly, but with tax and all the little fees, I have to put out a little cash on top of what they're paying. I have no choice in that, as every other car that's equivalent to mine, albeit with MUCH lower mileage, is many thousands more.

Dealing with the company who has the car, because they're in Buena Park. He said he'd figure out how to get the car here for me to test drive, so that's good.

So, I've released the car to the insurance company, and they'll pick it up and issue the first of two payments to my account. Then when they receive the title, which will be on Friday, they do the second half.

Whew! So glad this seems to be working out OK!

Oh, wow. I'm glad the insurance thing is working out. But what a shame to have to total the car!

Getting a new car is always fun. But not this way.

Have a mechanic you trust inspect it first. Don't ever believe what the salesman tells you.

This is very good news.

I don’t know the drugs, but I would have cut 10 minutes. As funny as much of it was, I too was glad when it was over.

True, if you have one.

A friend who used to sell used cars said he always recommended taking out an extended warranty as you never know. The car could look great and a day later something goes wrong.

John G. · « **Reply #114 on:** December 17, 2024, 03:03:42 PM »

Sounds like an insurance company these days, BK. They declare too many cars totaled.

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** December 17, 2024, 03:06:36 PM »

It’s 78 degrees outside. Odd for December.

Roses are blooming in other people’s yards. Not mine.

But my bougainvillea and plumbago are blooming nicely.

Tomorrow’s high is supposed to be only 69.
