I know how you feel, Rockygirl. I had to replace two tyres this week!
Run flats, too, which are just a little more expensive! My car has got to go back in to have the wheel bearings replaced as well, so a very expensive week for me.

Our basement has a few inches of rain in it, thankfully nothing is in there but our washer and dryer but I'm worried about those!

Sorry MLE. That sucks.
For me its the constant ringing in my ears that has been plaguing me for a good week now. Its keeping me up. I am not amused.

My sympathies to you and your friend's family, MLE. How awful.
On a more mundane note, our front door seems to have swollein due to the cold, and the only way to open it, is to go out from the back door, put the key in the lock - and give the bottom of the door a hefty kick. Not much good for the door, but quite a good stress-buster.

Sorry for you too, Nefret. That kind of situation sucks.

Even worse... it used to be returned. Long ago.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!
