• Hello again.  I'd say I've returned from the land of the dead but I'm feeling pretty dead at the moment.  I've got a cold & something happened last night so I didn't get the sleep I needed so the cold is kicking MY butt for a change.

  
  

  Just so you all know...Don't ever piss me off.  Here's why....My car, my beloved 2002 Stratus died on my way to work Monday.  That was a whole fiasco in & of itself.  So, I get the car towed to a local dealersahip b/c I have a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty on the motor.  The guy calls Tuesday (yesterday) saying it's ready.  I pick up the car earlier today, shell out a nice hunk o' change & Bobby goes to work & I'm on my merry way to run a couple of quick errands.  I wasn't even out for an hour.  I'm on Broad Street which is a main road here, it's very busy.  Car dies as I'm trying to go onto Broad.  I was able to roll it to the beginning of a turning lane so I was out of the way.  Mind you, it did EXACTLY what it did on Monday.  A cop happened to be driving on Broad & he stopped to stay with me.  Bobby came a second later & the the local volunteer motorist assistance division of the county police came & called a tow truck for me.  Got the car towed BACK to the dealership.  I let them have it, and they had the nerve to NOT apologize or give me my check back or anything.  Oh yeah, I'm pissed.  See, what these folks don't know is, You don't EVER mess with a Kane.  I have already contacted the BBB & I have the address for the US Corporate HQ for Daimler Chrysler.  After I'm done here, I'm writing a letter which will get mailed to that HQ tomorrow.  Oh yeah, I don't mess around.  I go straight to the top.  I am also going to tell them I've contacted a lawyer & if they push, I'm calling my grandfather's lawyer.  I am NOT taking this lying down.  (Insert multiple, VERY colorful obscenities here).

  
  

  Quickly, going back to my last post.  We are not officially engaged.  Bobby gave me a commitment ring that he made, before the move (this was before we decided he'd move with me).  He is going to ask my family's permission & I am asking Andre's permission & there will be an official proposal.  We're just trying to give ourselves a time frame here b/c we have a few goals that we want to reach BEFORE the wedding, so this way, we're giving ourselves something to work for.

  
  

  Anyhoo, I'm gonna head out for now.  I hope all is well with each of you.Take good care, I will hopefully catch up on all your sites later.  Much love & many blessings to you all!
