Well, Mags, you did a great thing, helped the mother and her kids in one fell swoop. Very awesome. :) My ex GF...sigh...i was close to telling her i didn’t want to eat in public with her...not as if she was a pig, or was rude to waitstaff, no where near that... but she has a bit of OCD when it came to food. Rebuilding…

Fecking parents, am I right? soryy this happened to you :(

I’m sorry. Be better. Hugs. :)

This is unsane. I have developed an allergy over yers to bug bites. Would I be in your place, I would be dead. Sorry. :(

...at least she *only* puked? (trying to see the positive here) :)

Still in contact with that roomie? Would love to see her side of it. Sorry for your kidney stone. I’m guessing the issue was handled. Sorry your fun got ruined. :(

Great read! i LOL’d thru it all...sorry your exerpeince sucked. :)

Poor Mom. I commend you for the trial of getting your Mom back to civilization, as well as all of you for getting through that experience together...that’s some team building family cohesion stuff right there. Well written, also. If we had a vote, this trial would be my winner. :)

The Old Saw: “The problem you have is the badging: Says ‘Ford’...hell, they even painted it blue!”

I’m sorry...i had to check the veracity of this, “Shelby Charger” thing you spoke of...didn’t know Shelby touched Dodge...and damn, that thing is so fugly. Thanks for educating me! :)

Makes me laugh to see snorkels that are higher than the driver’s head.

If you are asking for identification of the vehicle...that’s a ‘71 or ‘72 3/4 ton Chevy Suburban. Strange beast: access to rear seating is through the ONE rear passenger-side door.

Wow, Page 8. I’m sorry. I too have stood by and watched someone ruin their child. Only I couldn’t say anything at all because the child is a FRIEND’S child, not a relative.

I used to work at a Chil...Very Hot Pepper’s in Texas. They made us claim our tips because taxes. I figured that “The Man” could figure out i was lying if i didn’t at least claim the Credit Card tips, so I only claimed those. Because of that, I encourage people I am with to tip with cash.

Wait...there's a Green Locktite? I know of red and blue, and Blue is True...but Green?!?

Yah dude, just a half-inch off the ground and it would have been safe. Your crew may have had no warning a bent linkage. Glad no one was injured! Wow!

Yeh...Because you can't. The Siren song of your Syclone is gone baby gone. Way to Man Up, though. Sell my ponies for a wedding? Think again, honey.

"...my mechanic he pulled the oil filter in front of me and it literally disintegrated in front of him."

My condolences. *Hat over heart, looking downward

Damn, man, that's like The Odyssey of engine repairs. How's it running, though? I don't even know of anyone who will work/have knowledge of a Wankle engine.
