Frustrations!

The Boring One is very frustrated right now. Her mode of transportation seems to be needing more repairs than it doesn't. On her way back from a trip over Labor Day weekend, the brakes went out and needed to be replaced. She is very annoyed because she has replaced several things, which though not expensive, did delve into her already starved pocket book. The past few weeks, she has been noticing that the engine to this vehicle has been revving very high. Tonight, she discovered that her car is not shifting out of third gear. This is very disconcerting to The Boring One, as she is afraid that her transmission is going out, and she cannot afford to spend money to replace a transmission. She wishes that she had borrowed the money to get a better car. She has decided that she officially hates her car and wishes that she could smash it with a baseball bat and just replace it with a new one that does not need to be fixed so often.

Sorry to be a downer - I feel slightly better now that I've vented. Thanks for listening!

How about John to the rescue? Could he find the needed parts and install them - and you pay him perhaps in installments? I know how frustrating needs without means can be. That is how many get caught in the credit crunch. We will add this specific need to our prayers.
