Will the insurance cover the cost of replacing your car?

I beleive how it works is that they send you a check for the depreciated value of the vehilce. This one was a 2000 so its fully depreciated at this point. and then the fact that its a wreck...I think the check will about cover my new increased insurance rates...not lol.
I've been saving for a newer car. I'll just shop around while I'm in town next week. I'm thinking I want a newer subaru baja.
 
I hate cars. I've got bad juju when it comes to cars for sure. I was driving my work car last night and it started chugging and slowing down. The fuel pump went out. figures.
On a better note I actually got asked out on a date. No, not by the hottie I was sending psychic messages to. A teacher at the school, no, not the hottie special ed teacher. The, um, okay a little hottie short older science teacher...lol. Although I don't know when I'll find the time to go on a date, I don't have a day off till the day I fly out next thursday and my family has begun its mass exodus from town for october (don't ask, its an annual tradition...we all just leave...like a migration pattern or something...we come back in the end of the month) so no free babysitters. Oh, wait, I forgot, ex's mom is here in town till then...hmmm...this could work...
My former mother in law came to town. I was more then prepared to let her stay at my house but she decided to stay at the hotel instead. Maybe she thinks I'll kill her in her sleep. Not to far off on that one. She came over last night and cooked for us. One reason why I had almost 1600 cals yesterday. bad bad bad.
Oh, and she's crazy. She gets battier every year. She went through my house like a hawk trying to find one thing wrong with it to hound me about. And then she like, examined my kitchen like she's with the health board or something. I should ask her for my score to post for other visitors. Good thing it was clean for once...lol! Geeze, she went on and on and on about my ex's new wife and baby like I should be jealous or something. I've seen the wife and baby...there is nothing to be jealous of. His new wife is like white trash barbi and I tried to explain this to his mother, but she doens't understand white trash...she thinks all americans are trash.
Oh, and her hair has gotton so big since the last time I saw her. I don't know what it is with women her age (60's), its just obnoxious. And on her skinny frame, her hair seems like its bigger than she is. The sad thing is, I can really see a resemblance between her and my son, sans big hair. He has her eyes, forehead, chin. I must have weak genes....lol.
Speaking of jeans, my 18's are loose out of the dryer. When I'm in town I'm going try on a 16. I'm not commiting to buying a 16, but I'm going to try them on.
 
Ooohhh! I love trying on smaller sizes and finding that they FIT! I used to hate shopping!

Good for you for holding it together while your exMIL was ransacking your house - I think I would have clubbed her ;)
 
Wow mother N law sounds wacky to me congrats on "NOT" killing her lol!
Congrats on getting asked out on a date from the semi hottie teacher!
Love that name "white trash" lol I know 1 of those can't stand her!!!
Well hope your having a better day today, Tammy

lol! And don't hurt the MIL.. much.

Oooo on the jeans, hope the 16s fit!
 
lemme tell you a trick you should do... I have an aquaintance who's a snooper... especially a medicine chest snooper- something i find incredbily rude... well a little sabotage never killed anyone but it sure does embarass them... :D

Place some metal marbles in the medicine chest... right near the end of the shelf -- so that when the door opens... they go crashing to the sink with a very very loud- kaboom! Then you can run to the door and ask what happened :D

In kitchen cabinets- try some mousetraps.. :D
 
LOL! you two crack me up!
really, I've got nothing to hide from her. If she wants to snoop in my med cab though she better stay the heck away from my tylenol pm! And my toothbrush *shudders*

Right now I must get back to work. I have an interview with a psycho here in a few minutes and I need a moment to prepare myself. I hate psycho...and she's a REAL psycho. not just one that I think is nuts.

snoopers should be taught a lesson that it's bad to snoop :)

Disclaimer: I was NOT the person in the story, it really was a friend...
I had af riend'smother get tired of her children snooping in her purse... or rather taking stuff out of her pursewithout permission.. like pens, candies, stuff like that.. so the momma devised a plan... she put a mouse trap in her purse.. next kid who came along.. well.. might experience some pain...

next day, my friend had to explain how they broke their finger.. :D :D

OOOoooooOOOOOHHHH, I so want my ex mil to leave now. She's insanely stupid. Last night I fantasized about her drowning in her hotel bathtub. My son told me his mama told him that he didn't have to live with me. he could live with his dad if he wanted to and I'm not the boss of him. I called her in her hotel room and told her she might as well get on a plane today and leave town because she's not seeing my son again this trip and if I see her she's going to one sorry bitch. Oh, I hate her so.

I hope she has a good time at her son's in anchorage, his trashy ghetto apartment with his trashy dirty wife and kids. I can't believe she would turn her nose up at me when obviously I'm the one who has it together and he soooo doesn't. I hope she has a good time babysitting his brats while him and the wife go out and smoke crack and oxy and beat eachother up with their ghetto soap opera drama bullcrud. WHATEVER!

I'm glad I left that jerk when I saw him changing into the monster that he is now. If I thought I had it bad his new family has it 100 times worse. And to think next week my son has to spend the night at that crap hole. At least he'll have a good comparison for who does a better job parenting him when he grows up to appreciate those kinds of things. I hate being a parent, well, I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything, but really, there is so much heart ache associated with it. You can't help but feel guilty for everything you have not control over.

Good diet day so far, its a quarter to noon and I've managed 136 cals...mmmm, gotta love the 12 oz single shot skinny sugarfree hazelnut latte (although its a mouthful to order at the coffee shop). No excersize yet today, I don't think I'll actually have time for cardio at the gym till I get back from town (anchorage). I just don't have time during the day. I wake up at 5am as it is to get ready for work, get the kid ready for the day and by the time we're out the door at 6:30 am I'm already running to get to the office on time for shift changes and briefings. I'm working late everynight because I'm trying to get the end of the quarter stats reporting stuff out of the way before I leave so I don't have to worry about it when I get back. I wish I wasn't a single parent because then I could go to cardio after the kid went to bed, but I can't just leave a four year old sleeping in a house alone and go to the gym for an hour. thats just not kosher.
 
Wow the mil is a moron! Sounds like my brother-in-laws ex and family. The ex wifey has some of the same problems you mention but she's also a great manipulator, she always made herself out to be the 'good parent' while my sister and her hub are the controling a-holes. Unfortunatly, the bil didn't stand his ground with them and things went down the crapper as they went into their teens. The nephew (now 18) likes the pot and the niece is sarting to go that way too. You're right - it is heart breaking sometimes... and I just have to watch from the outside.

Hang in there - you sound like a good mommy who doesn't take any sh!t.

Great job on the cals. so far... you should get a good cardio tape and do it in the livingroom while the munchkin is sleeping.
