Wow.

State Farm told me that they use the actual cash TRADE-IN value of the vehicle according to NADA to determine how much we would get back for Josh's car.  The woman, who was very nice, insinuated that is PA law. The value happens to be $3475.  We panicked.  That would mean we are royally screwed, unless we can get something in court.

Well, I just ( Read more... )

Is this strictly necessary?  Really?

Now my car won't start (which, to be honest, I kind of saw coming), so I need to figure out how to get to work tomorrow if it does in fact need to go to the mechanic.  Josh doesn't get home until around 9:30 am, so that won't work.  I can get there by a combinatioin of bus and train, but one of the connections ( Read more... )

Yay! They fixed my car this morning!

Update: as expected, the problem is worse than the cam sensor, so they have no idea how long it will take to find and fix the problem. Thus, I'm getting on the bus tomorrow and going to Virginia. I have finals to study for and products to ship.

I think I'm just about done with the month of February. Seriously, there is nothing else left to go wrongWhere am I right now? Is it Josh's house? Nope. My parents' house? Nope. My apartment? Yup! Why, you ask, am I still in Virginia when I'm clearly supposed to be in the state of Pennsylvania this weekend ( Read more... )

EDIT: BUY BOOKS FOR KIDS. Sorry Chels, I've had this link sitting around forever, but I've been in another world for the last couple weeks. I'll try to get on it soon ( Read more... )
