Anyhoo, if the blown water pump was not somehow related to the dinging (ya never know...), have your hubby see if he can find which fuse controls it. We had the same problem with one of our cars (the "door open" chime would go on and on) and just yanked it right out of the fuse panel. Now it's just cold air and road noise that lets me know my door is ajar, no more idiot chime... ;)SusieQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472123869920926206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-63936668272807537622011-01-31T08:41:58.072-08:002011-01-31T08:41:58.072-08:00Yep, you gotta love vee-hickles!

A couple of minutes later, the low fuel dinger went off, and the gauge said an eighth. So I was sweating bullets trying to get to a gas station. Something is seriously wrong with that gas gauge!<br />You're so cute to start a fan club for your equally cute Dad!

I always dread long trips I take by myself because I worry about car issues. But, I do believe you just had the all time road trip to hell and back. Bless you, Hon. On another note, I love the oil lamp! Those are so cool. I remember seeing one for the first time, and of course, I would be me if I didn't reach out and touch the thing. Yuck. Anyway, take care and drive safely.

Was wondering how you wre doing and there you were commenting away on my post today like nobody's business!<br />what a weekend you had....one straight from hell I'd say. That should be it for you for a while at least....wouldn't you say.<br />Now to the Jesus paintings you have! I 'painted' the one on the left when I was a kid. My Dad still has it! JC has a lamb in his arms, right?<br />That lamp is very interesting.....fits right in that corner.<br />Good to have you back kiddo.<br />Would your Dad think it weird to get 'mail' from a guy? If so, I totally understand, remember my Dad is still alive too.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-25067211600798436462011-01-27T09:52:35.838-08:002011-01-27T09:52:35.838-08:00Wowee!!

I think the way to deal with stress is to look for the comedy in a situation. That being said, my life is pretty damn funny! <br /><br />Those lamps of yours are invoking some serious lamp envy in me!! I have always loved those oil lamps. I'm so stoked yours works! <br /><br />Tell your papa that he's in for an avalanche of fan mail!

Sorry about the truck troubles but it did make for a very entertaining post....see, there's always a bright side. I love the room with all the jesus stuff and killer clock and that lamp, wow! Are your walls wood? Do you have my email address? I'll send it to you just in case.jamie@midcenturymaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240486435547349956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-8417426684171573962011-01-27T04:11:51.300-08:002011-01-27T04:11:51.300-08:00Yow!

It's better to just get in a crash and let the insurance company deal with it. (did I say that out loud?)

It's actually my mental illness that caused my hand to freeze and I convinced the doctors that I willed my hand to break and manifest a tumor. So take that!! Ohm, ohm, ohm......I'm better now.<br /><br />As I sit here convulsing with laughter over your plight (welcome to MY world, baby) I literally lost it when you said "I have aliens in my head and I can't get them out and it hurts like a muhfuh and ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!" because that's how crap works in my life. Aliens must take over because sh*t literally falls from the sky during those times.<br /><br />At LEAST you have a HUSBAND who knows how to fix that stuff. I'd still be standing at the gas station whoring myself out trying to get it fixed!!<br /><br />Shoot me your dads address honey, I got loads of cards to send. Does he want pictures (or what we SAY are pictures of us) too?<br /><br />Oh, and that lamp is weird, but it so fits you!!<br /><br />I'm hoping to throw a box in the mail to you tomorrow of silly crap.

I cried because it was all the money I had saved from working a crap job I hated.<br /><br />I swear I've spent more on car repairs than cars I have owned!<br /><br />Sorry you had such a sucky weekend!!<br /><br />Love the lamp! Didn't Disneyland have a BIG oil lamp type deal at the end of one of those old rides, like the Ride Through Inner Space, after you got off the moving cars or whatever? Semms to me.... I remember one. I remember staring at it, sure it was there!1950s Atomic Ranch Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460669868967006928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-38066545637994550792011-01-26T13:26:27.946-08:002011-01-26T13:26:27.946-08:00I am so sorry about your truck troubles.

I have had one of those "I've never seen that before" moments, too, in the past with my mail-delivery car - so I can relate with you on that one. <br />On a different note - I was so tickled to see your lamp, because I had that same lamp (in the last picture) in turquoise when I was a teenager! I think my grandma gave it to me, and I kept it for a long time - and I really don't know what ever happened to it, but I wish I still had it. I'm not big on getting rid of stuff, so I can't imagine how I lost track of it.Heidi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666588441951832108noreply@blogger.com
