Commuting on the island of Oahu is a nightmare during morning and afternoon 'rush hour' where you're not rushing anywhere. My incidents were pretty easily handled, though. But then I have this calm 'what are you gonna do now?' demeanor that comes from good Samaritans stopping for me. <br /><br />I'm a long standing member of Triple A because I've always owned at least one junker. It's come in handy, too. <br /><br />I do relate to that feeling of 'oh no, no, no! I'm not going to break down on the freeway!!!' feeling. Triple A or not. <br /><br />Glad to hear you're all right. I know my biggest fear is being hit by someone who isn't paying attention. It happened to me once when I broke down in town in Battle Creek. Someone came around a corner too fast and didn't see my emergency lights or something and slammed into the back of my car. Fortunately it was only at about 15 mph as opposed to the 35 which would have been the speed limit if they hadn't been in the process of braking to take the corner.<br /><br />As to cell phones, my husband has a crackberry and I have a LG Lotus. I just want a phone, not a portable computer. The Lotus is not quite a year old but sometimes he doesn't get my calls right away either. It's intermittent. Do you have Sprint for your service provider? I'm not sure if it's the crackberry or our service. My stepson had one and didn't have problems but he was with Alltel at the time. <br /><br />Ah well, I actually need to work today at some point. Just feeling a little lazy. lol<br /><br />Hope your week is going better!Music Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004584461266777776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-27974956811342883962010-03-14T16:56:38.954-04:002010-03-14T16:56:38.954-04:00Glad to hear you got it sorted, and that you are s...Glad to hear you got it sorted, and that you are safe. The first time I bought a brand new car, two hoses came adrift in the first week, but luckily no lasting harm was done.<br /><br />As for main dealers, I once had a list from them of at least half-a-dozen things that needed doing to my car, but as they couldn't get in touch with me, they couldn't get my agreement. (One of the things was needing a new brake master cylinder!) When my friendly local mechanic got back from holiday, I gave the car and the list to him. NOTHING needed doing. He replaced the fanbelt just to make the labout charge feel a bit better (£24 in total instead of £300+)<br /><br />Don't get me going on the police, either. My parents used to live on a main road, with my bedroom overlooking it, and pedestrian crossing lights outside. There were always accidents holding up the traffic, and I could see the police cars coming up the nearby side road and turn the other way rather than stop and help direct the traffic round the accident. Once there was even a split petrol tank, and a guy stuck in his car because the doors were kinked, and still they disappeared and left the people waiting for the fire brigade.valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784717652044574470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30172845.post-52081296144067449142010-03-14T13:36:11.399-04:002010-03-14T13:36:11.399-04:00I tried to make myself believe I was more bored th...I tried to make myself believe I was more bored than 'nervous'.

It was 8pm. At midnight, someone showed up, but explained it was the end of his shift, and he couldn't get my car going anyway, so I'd have to wait for the tow truck. Off he goes, leaving me sitting in the dark, in a 'dead' car, on a country road, on my own. The truck showed up at 2am. How happy I was that as 'a woman alone' I was a 'priority call-out' or I'd probably still be waiting ;0)<br /> <br />Sympathies Jojo, let's hope that's the end of any car traumas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
