I woke up to find I have a flat tire
Naturally I had to be somewhere at 9 this morning...

And the next person who tells me that "God doesn't give us more than we can handle" is going to get punched in the face.

:argh:

3. I wouldn't tell you that
However, I would point out that whenever god closes a door, he opens a window. :hide:

I wish I could do more than offer long distance support. You've been through way too much.

So, uh, who did you piss off in a former life? :pals:

11. I've had three or four people tell me that in the past week
In the past year, I've lost track. In fact, I think I even got a *card* with that on it last year.

9. fixaflat
got several cans in my car and don't let anyone tell you that you can't drive on it for long - I've gone for months on a fixaflat treated tire.

22. Better proverb (can't remember where I heard it):
God pisses down the back of your neck every day, but he only drowns you once.

25. my father made me change a tire, among other things, before
he would let me drive. I can change tires, batteries, belts, brakes,oil, radiators, you name it. I'm really glad Dad did that, because now, as a 45 year old woman, i can take care of it myself. (dad's plan was for me not to need a man.)
