Our cars are broken. It will cost more to fix them then they are worth. Right now we are renting a car and waiting to hear back to see if we got approved to buy a new car (if we're going to throw away $500 a month then it should be on something we get to keep). We've been waiting for more then a week for the car place and the bank to tell us whether or not we have been approved. I called the car place today and he said that he had heard something, but he's busy right now and could I wait thirty minutes for him to call me back. Sure, I've only been waiting and dying to know. Not to mention they are holding our money ransom until we find something out. We gave $300 as a down payment (to reserve the car) and if we don't get the loan we get that money back. If we do get the loan then we get to turn in the rental and get about the same amount back. We've been living on only $300 for the past two weeks and would like the rest of our money back NOW thank you very much. After thirty minutes I called back and he said to give him five more minutes because he was with a customer. Could you at least tell me yes or no!!!! I'll be really POed if we were declined because he could have taken the 5 seconds to let me know that so I could drive up there and get my money back (and no it's not a scam..... this is a military business that we're buying a car through so it works a little differently then a car dealership out in town and is the cheapest option we have for a car at this point..... we got a lot of rebates and saved a load of money then if we bought out in town). Okay it's been five minutes. Please call me back already!!!
Anyways, so of all the places that you could get pneumonia, do you think that Guam would be the most likely..... where it's 86 degrees everyday? No? Well we have our cold and flu season too and germs are not picky as to the temperature outside as long as they can take residence in your body (ie being cold does not give you a cold and catching a chill does not make you get sick). My dear son got pneumonia and spent the weekend in the hospital. He was so pitiful. His poor little four year old self sat still both times they gave him an IV (his first one fell out). He cried and asked if they were done yet. He's better now and more animated then ever (thanks to his steroid).
Okay. We were declined. You couldn't have told me that earlier!!!! And I'm even more pissed because now he's saying that it'll take a few days to get our money back because we paid cash because they don't keep money in the office. Next time I'll be careful and ask very detailed questions before giving money. He made it out like would only take a day or two to hear back on whether or not we were approved and then he could get us our money back almost immediately. No turkey for Thanksgiving. Thank you.... thank you all. I so want to cry right now. And on top of everything else I have tendonitis in both of my shoulders as well as a strained muscle in my chest (which provokes a stabbing pain when I move a certain way) and cubital tunnel syndrome.... all from knitting so I've been told I can't knit for a few months. I have a Christmas deadline people. Joy to the freakin' world!!!!!!!!!
