If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another - Yes, I'd like some cheese with that whine.→[More:]As mentioned previously - my Jeep, she is broke. It broke down on the way to the Bellingham airport. And the mechanic has yet to call with an update.

Now? Due to two airplane crashes (see here), the mister's flight from Seattle to Bellingham is canceled. While I appreciate the fact that they're worried about passenger safety, this is really aggravating on top of everything else.

Piss damn hell fuck!

PS: The mister won a Wii at the conference he was at. So, I suppose, that makes up for some of the irritants of the last week.

He's actually holed up in a hotel room, playing Wii games! Call him and tell him you're on to him! :)

Seriously, though, the cancellations and the car trouble SUCK. Ugh. Here's hoping everything works out very soon. *hug*

Boo jeep, boo airlines.(Glad he wasn't on one of those planes.)

I had a run-in with Horizon early this summer that has soured me on them, although this grounding of the planes, on the recommendation of the maker of the planes is not their fault, I suppose.

*hands Deborah some wine to go with the cheese*

I'm not sure which sucks more: the airlines, or the Jeep.

Maybe you should call them? I've had garages swear blind they would call me with updates and not follow through. On one memorable occasion I was told my car had been ready for three days.

(((deborah))) I hope your husband is home soon. I feel your pain about being without a vehicle. I'm without my car this weekend (long, boring story).

The mister is home! I rented a car yesterday and picked him up at the Bellingham airport, which is where the bus left him.

He's called the mechanic and the mechanic is still working on it. He replaced a fuse and the Jeep started, but they're trying to find the underlying cause. The mister is going to pick it up on Monday.

LoriFLA: I'm normally at home without a car. The mister sold his old truck a couple months back. We're looking at getting another vehicle but haven't yet. Hope you get your car back soon. :)
