tiamatladywaiting for laundry.
waiting for car.
Watching a tape of Buffy (not even an OLD ep, the one from the other night)
I hate getting talked into things. I let the guy at Firestone talk me into some sort of package, but I think I came out on top. I could have an alignment (which I needed ) for $70, or I could get the Lifetime Alignment for $99. That means if I need an alignment, and I bought that, I bring it to them, they align it and I drive away no money involved. Unless I need a part. that sounded WAY to good to be true. But, I went for it, because I can't tell you how many times I've put off an alignment for the simple $$ issue. We'll see how it goes. Plus I had said the "Gee, maybe except I have just enough for x and y." So then he starts knocking money off. 15% on the four tires, plus $10 for filling out a credit app, which will be declined, but it was getting me to apply that got the $10. so I'm paying about $50 for the alignment, and it's the lifetime. I'm not sure how they stay in business that way. but I'm sure the tires have about $2 worth of rubber *grin* They are also different tires. I had been sticking with the tires that came with the car, the Firestone Affinity Touring tires, but I'm switching to a Bridgestone BT version, with a much greater warranty, and came recommended by the Firestone guy. He said he'd put them on a friend's Saturn coupe and she loved them. They also were the cheapest of the alternatives, about $5 more a tire than my previous Affinities. Hopefully this will fix most of the bumpety bump problems I've had. Thay are also going to let me keep any tire on the car that will do for a spare. I'll stick it in the storage unit.
Along with Marc's stuff. He's having MAJOR gf/roommate issues. If anyone in the Boston area has a couch up for grabs for a night or two, and is willing to let a cute blonde sleep on it let me know.
Unrelated topic - apparently That One knows about it. AND he's determined to deal with it in his usual manner, ignore, and pull back. *sigh* It's not necessary, and I'm a bit hurt he feels he has to. *shrug* I'll get over it. Faster than the Ghost fiasco, that's for DAMN sure. That sucked!
Ok, get laundry, go and catch *shudder* bus.
