I wouldn't go back to that mechanic again.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424395613173716383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-58230111384516829242012-10-12T07:38:29.588-04:002012-10-12T07:38:29.588-04:00:( (((Mysti))) I hope you feel better (closure?) a...:( (((Mysti))) I hope you feel better (closure?) after this visit...I really feel for you! ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-71872267600563335212012-10-12T07:38:29.180-04:002012-10-12T07:38:29.180-04:00Yeah, I sputtered a little when I heard the price....Yeah, I sputtered a little when I heard the price.

I have never stopped the kids from calling, writing, etc. I have send pictures of special events, or ones that are just cute. <br /><br />But this isn't about the kids, this is about my relationship with them...and that they overlook that piece. This is why I am going to say goodbye. Because I am not going to be abused any further.<br /><br />If I don't go....I will still feel the wrath. Better to go and get it over with.<br /><br />As for travel costs....there will be strings if they help out.

You are not responsible for their actions, only your own. I would let the kids call, write letters, send photos, etc... If your parents TRULY want to see them, let them travel or offer to help out with the travel costs. ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-12420176738066183072012-10-11T11:55:00.154-04:002012-10-11T11:55:00.154-04:00Well at least he told you before you paid for it r...Well at least he told you before you paid for it right? <br /><br />As for your parents you are by no means using your children as pawns. If my sister/brother cant make it down here for us to see my angels then we pack up the car and go see them. The road goes both ways.<br /><br />Good luck j udyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03899060198377746353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-76956309917639336722012-10-11T11:14:15.224-04:002012-10-11T11:14:15.224-04:00Wow... $550 for O2 sensors?

That sucks you wont be able to get the gas tap done for this winter, but it definitely gives you some breathing room to plan it for the summer; and hopefully some better deals when the time comes.
