My husband is taking political science, and the name of the book is literally Am Gov. Uhm, I am thinking a class that picks a book with that name can't be very hard.

lol! Good thing it wasn't for an English class!

School starts here the 25th too, but my first classes are the 26th. I'm not looking forward to 10 hours on campus, but at least it limits my driving up there to 2 days a week. Most of my classes are 4 credits, so 2 hour lectures 2x a week. I'm thinking I'll enjoy most of them though. I have Intro to Counseling, Family Counseling, Personality, Social Psychology, and Behavior and Cognitive Change. Lots of work, but stuff I'm very interested in. I'm finally getting into the real coursework for my major.

I'm trying not to stress over the car thing, even though I am. I have no idea what this could end up costing me

There must be an appeal process about the car thing, Karlie.

quote:

They would have to prove it was your fault. They can't just accuse you and demand money. Something is very weird about the whole situation. Is it a nationwide car rental place?

It's Enterprise. I have rented from them several times with no trouble at all. I know somewhere in the fine print is that I am responsible for any and all damage incurred while I have the car, so I can't imagine it would really work fighting it too hard. The car was under warranty, but the dealership negated it because it was considered intentional damage and not anything wrong with the workmanship of the car. It makes sense that the car rental company will be looking at someone to cover their expense of having it fixed. Unfortunately, the car was in my name during that time, and that makes that someone me. I just thought they would investigate it further and check into the place I bought the last tank of gas from. But apparently, that's not their job...that's for the insurance companies to fight out. I'm just hoping my insurance will cover it, or the rental coverage on my credit card. We'll see. There is no way I can take it to court anyway...it would cost more in lawyer fees than just paying the damages.

quote:

One guy took photos before he got in the car, and when they did that to him, he took the photos in to show them the condition of what it was like before and after to prove he didn't do it.

The problem here is, all the damage is internal. There is no visible damage to the car at all...it still looks brand new. It's all in the fueling system which can't be seen. My insurance company is looking into it now.

Britt lost another kitten Tuesday night. She was actually there when this one died. I felt so terrible for her. She came down to check on them in the middle of the night(they all had vet appointments for Wednesday morning) and said it was having a hard time breathing and seemed congested, so she took him to the bathroom and ran steam in there. She said it helped at first and he started moving around more. She took him to the emergency vet right after that, but he didn't make it. The rest of them(and mom) went to the vet the next morning and two of the remaining five kittens have colds that has turned into bacterial infection. He said he thinks they caught it soon enough in the others, so they are on antibiotics twice a day. She said they are definitely active and she thinks will be fine. They are all starting to toddle around now and not stay so close to the mom. She said they start toddling over to her when she comes into the room.

We moved Kristen into her apartment last night. It's really a nice little place. Much nicer than my first apartment! Her bedroom is the only room(other than her roommate's bedroom) that is fully furnished at this point, but it's enough for now and look really great. it was a little sad last night to come in and see her very empty room. The only thing left in there is her old bed, but that's it. It seems very quiet today too. I know I'll get used to it, but it sure seemed to come fast.

I sure hope the other ones come through ok, and Britt too.

Is a little shoe therapy in order?

Even that doesn't sound fun With being gone for 2 weeks, and all the shopping we had to do for her apartment and the moving, I am not leaving my house unless I have to for the next few days!

A couple / few pairs of Birkenstocks outta fix you right up.

Either that or do me in completely

Yea, it's been a very yo-yo week in a lot of ways. The girls, this stupid car situation, other things I'm trying to resolve. I know God has it all in control but I feel a little overwhelmed at the moment.

Thanks James

Karlie, I don't know what I can say to encourage you with the car situation except I'll pray. Did they tell you yet how much they consider the damage to cost?
