Poor 'Ting.

Here are more photos (my hubby censored out the license plates as I told him I was putting them online and I also posted it on my Facebook)of our poor car in the ditch after the accident and in the autobody shop being assessed. Da poor 'ting. It's a write-off; the underside is all damaged and it also has internal damage and the frame is twisted. They said all it's good for now is being squished down into a small flat compact piece of tin and we have to get a new car. I feel badly for it. It was a good and faithful car that served us well for 8 years or so and it didn't deserve to die this way. We never even had to bring it into the shop once for repairs(just for check-ups, oil change, snow t ires,etc.)and that's why my hubby says he always buys Toyota. I asked if our new car can be a Mustang and he just gave me this weird look and said no; he said Ford sucks(and stands for Found  On Road Dead) and is always in the shop for repairs. He's having a really hard time finding another car,too; apparantly there's even a car shortage now,too, both new and used and they're in short supply and to get a Corolla like we had there's even a 5 month waiting list  which is no help as we need a car right now! He said the best chance is to find one online and they said the tow truck driver was also surprised how calm and "chill" they were after the accident too, just sitting there in the ditch playing chess; most people are shaken up and freaking out. My hubby said his watch even showed his heart-rate never even went up or changed during it,either!

Yesterday I also got an e-mail about my abdomenal ultrasound from my doctor's office(since the automated phonecall didn't work) but it was encrypted or something and took alot of steps to uncover and get to so my hubby had to figure it out for me and I finally got it( it's next Monday and I can't eat or drink for 6 hours before so I'll be starving!) and I'd never be able to figure it out on my own, and I don't know why they just can't have a person phone and leave a message like normal like they used to, and yesterday the 25 YR old got a Lego set for his birthday and when I asked what kind( like Star Wars or soemthing) my hubby wouldn't say; he just said it was something bad; or at least something I would think is bad so I wonder if it's some sort of Lego porn or something as what else would I think was "bad", and the 28 YR old went into town and was hanging out with some homeless people and bought them a pizza and he surprises me; for someone who can be so callously cold and manipulative he can also do acts of such compassion and kindness;people are so complex.

I also heard the tickets for the SuperBowl (some football game) start at 8K and they couldn't even pay me that much to watch it, and my mother( who turns 82 in July) also impressed me by not only recognizing but also liking a Queen  song and by knowing that Sammy Hagar was once with Van Halen (way to Rock, old lady!) and Friday I listen to a Heavy Metal show on the radio and on Saturday I have a Flashback to the 60's, 70's, and 80's show on and Sunday I have my Reggae Day where I jam out to mi Reggae all day,too so I always have a musical weekend. The plumber also comes today as my hubby fixed it so we now have cold water on the main floor but no hot; you have to go upstairs to get hot water and the dishwasher still doesn't work as it only uses hot water but I can still do laundry as I always use cold water anyway as it costs less.It's obviously a frozen pipe that burst given the force of the gushing water that pumped out like a fire hydrant and my hubby refused to believe me because the 15 YR old thought it was the hose to the dishwasher but he's not always right and I'm not always wrong.

I also saw small brown round what looked like dog kibbles out on the back porch I think looked like rabbit turds  and Buddy has been extra interested in going out there sniffing and marking his spot and telling me something's out there and sure enough last night I saw a rabbit hopping across the frozen pool, and my hubby's nephew is now in the Dominican Republic and I figure that "alot" of kids is always 3 more  kids than you actually have yourself  and I think the height of nerve too is that Chinese spy balloon ("weather balloon" yeah....my ass!) going into another country's airspace and then getting mad at them for shooting it down! I'm sure that they would do the exact same thing if it was reversed and it happened to them! That's just like shitting on someone's doorstep and then ringing their doorbell and asking if they have toilet paper!
