My stuff keeps breaking
it all started about a week or so before Christmas, 2 of my toes were broken by another person, that person had to pay for a rental car for me because we have 2 cars with stick shifts, after about a week i can drive my own car again and then that broke. Moving on, take beloved beetle to vw dealer, turns out it's the alternator which would also explain the rash of odd electrical problems i've had in my car, vw dealer gives me a loaner since my car is only 1 1/2 years old, after 3 days that dies, got another loaner that one was fine. I picked my car up a few days later, working fine now and then this morning i'm leaving my house, garage door opener, you guessed it, dead and then when i got back home my security system for my house, also dead.

Don't leave your stuff at my house unless you want it dead.

1. Okay. I'll be there shortly with a bag of squirrels.
j/k -- I don't really want them dead. They're cute if annoying goobers.


Hope the breaking streak ends soon.

5. Have you been talking to my neighbor?
he's about 80 something, staunch goper, total crank but i drive him and his wife to the polls, when i had the Honda he said Tojo must be proud and then i got the Hitlermobile, "Oh i bet Hitler's in hell smiling up at you!" Get in and shut the door Ed.

7. It's not really true any more.
Once they put the engine up front, it became a different car altogether.
