The sacrifices we make for our kids. My sons drivers side door window dropped down inside Monday. The dealership wanted $600 (Ithink that's what he said) to fix it. A local shop here would do it for $200 but not until tomorrow. So guess who's been stuck at home all week. You guessed it. He has our Suburban. Now we are not without a vehicle, just have one here that doesn't run properly. It coughs and sputters and chokes out. Hard to keep going so Jack is the only one to drive it and not very far. So any thought of shopping etc. is out of the question until after tomorrow. Can you say cabin fever?
I finished the book The Help. Very good book. Now to watch the movie and see how good that is. I was going to mention this before, but old timers you know. Now to decide which of the 70+ on the Kindle to read next. Maybe Janet Evanovich. Of course I could finish the paperback one I started. Decisions, decisions.
I can't believe people. I read this article this morning online where this guy in Chicago punted, yes I said punted, his kitten 15 to 18 feet and then signaled field goal. He laughed as the police arrested him for cruely and said "It's only a cat". What is wrong with people? It made me so mad I wish they could punt him. The cat was treated for injury (non-life threatening) and will be adopted to a better (I hope) family. I could just imagine the reaction of the many friends out here that have furry friends.
You all have a good evening.
Now I have to figure out my dvd player and comcast again so that I can watch The Help.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing happen to the back window on the driver side of my car last year. I took it to the dealer and it was several hundred dollars to get it fixed. I am sure I posted about it because I was so aggravated. I hope you all get your cars back soon,
I think we parents do everything we can possibly do for our kids even when it means what you're going through. :-)))

Animal cruelty is a HOT buttom for most of us. Even of the criminal is apprehended, they never serve enough time. I'd like to do to them what they did to the animal. It's only fair afterall. I never will understand how people can be that sick either.
ReplyDeleteMy window on my Jeep Liberty dropped and we used duct tape to hold it back up until we could rustle up $300 to get the motor for the window replaced a SECOND time. It seems the 2006 Liberty had trouble with the motor on the driver's side rear window, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI would hate to find out what the young man would do with a child if he says, "it's only a kitten"...would he say, "it's only a baby?" Cruelty is never excusable in my book.
I know cabin fever can be awful. I know that I often feel so much better once I get out and have a walk as the weather allows. Animal cruelty is beyond me especially such willfully awful acts as you mention above. They should throw the book at that moron.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mindless fool! I'm glad he was arrested. I have several books to read but can't get the motivation. By the time I get ready to read my eyes get heavy and I have to go to sleep for work looms quickly.
