The Neon may be no more...
by Anyone who's met me knows that I loathe the little black Neon that I drive. So I have to wonder if I subcontiously WANTED to crash it yesterday. Yes, it's crashed. Anyone who's in the area of my town can drive by my office and see it all banged up in the parking lot.
I was pulling out of the lot into the street and I completely didn't see a huge Ford pickup truck. He struck me on my driver's side front quarter panel, totally pulling off my front bumper and fascia, exposing my radiator and crupling my hood and two front quarter panels. The man that hit me was a retired cop from my town. The cop on the scene gave me a ticket for careless driving, because he said it was "blatently my fault", which I have to agree with. I felt monumentally stupid, and still feel that way. My parents are letting me use an old minivan to go back and forth to work, which is great. An adjuster is coming to my office today to estimate the damage and see if I get to keep my car. There's a body shop across the street from my office and the owner came out when he heard the crash; he said 2 more feet and I would've been killed. He told me he thought the damage may be between $3,500-$4,000. The blue book value of my car is $3,000. It sucks that there's still about $1,500 left on the loan for it. Who knows if it'll be totalled.
My boyfriend said he'd loan me his convertible Rabbit (Yeah! Such a cool car!). And he mentioned that his brother might sell me one of his cars, so I'll be taken care of.
It's ironic: I was talking to delliot101 on Saturday about how Satan seems to do anything to keep you from serving Jehovah, especially when you're trying to pioneer. David was completely right. So the real question is: Who in the ezabel community wants to support a soon-to-be pioneer? I'll be accepting monetary donations in check, money order, credit card, and of course, cash.

hey di!!! if i had money i would give it to you, me and you can drive in my saturn!!! WOOHOOOOO
i wonder what katie might say about that.
That's sweet. :) I don't know if I could handle the power of the Saturn.
aw man, sorry to hear about the neon! i'm glad you're ok, di...
seems like eZabel has become the place to beg for cash! ME TOO!!!!
good to hear you're okay hon! my car was hit this year and i only got enough money to fix like cosmetic damages...having a car is more trouble than it's worth sometimes. keep the faith-and let Jehovah be your rock!
yeah i could definitely use some money ya'll.
I stopped by on my way from work this morning to check the damage. That's a horrible road to come onto and I can see how you didn't see the truck. The main thing is that you're not harmed. Cars can be replaced, but I sure wouldn't want to wait til the new system to see you again!
Just hang in ther little sis... like I told you over the weekend, I'm always here for you (and if I HAD the money, I'd fork some over...)
;-)
nothin for nothin,but lately everyone on ezabel has been askin for money or handouts,Whats the deal! I think there has been atleast 3 journals in the past couple of weeks on people needen money
yada yada yada blah blah blah
yo seriously it's getting as bad as snowboarding
I think it was more of a joke then anything...
Oh I know that, but still im sick of seein it!
and we met...and then...yada yada yada...wait! you cannot YADA YADA YADA that!
glad you are ok! when andrew hits it big, we will be more than happy to share a little. :) haha.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Thanks!
aww, di! I'm so glad to hear you are okay. I'll be here for you, you know it! Let me know what I can do along the way. Play a bugle (that song you play when things die), pick you up for service, jumprope....y'know these sorts of things.
I think the best thing about this accident is that my boss bought me truffles from Godiva to make me feel better. Chocolate really is the remedy for anything and everything in life.
it's not the remedy for trying to look slim and trim for summer, i have discovered through past experience. i am quite sure.
Who cares about looking slim? I'm comfortable with who I am.
Got anymore truffles, sis?
Wild, I just said nearly the same thing in waxing poetic, and i hadn't even read this comment. It is so true though & godiva is the best. esp godiva ice cream. that is good stuff right there.
i still think it's fattening. give me a choclate protein bar anyday. i guess. for thai to poop on.
who cares, live a little. protein bars are not that good and universes away from being nearly as good as godiva. and if you got your fat butt on a treadmill every once in a while, a little godiva wouldn't hurt anything. :)
yo beachbum i see me and you having a physical fitness contest pretty soon, followed by a scrabble contest, followed by a tony hawk tournament (just b/c it's fun.) BRING IT!!
You know you only need to name the time and place and i'm there. see if you can fit me into your busy car-toiletpapering schedule sometime next year. Man, now i have a good reason to go practice up on tony hawk, it's been a while.
next year..ugh..i'm busy in all of 2003. this weekend, or it's never gonna happen.
I knew you were scared. You say only this weekend b/c you know i am going to be in quebec. YOU TALK BIG TRASH! hahahahahaha
quebec...yeah go run and hide across the border. that's what i would do if i was you, too.
oh right, i broke God's laws and whipped out my psychic powers months ago to find out when you would challenge me and then i planned a trip accordingly so i would have a good excuse not to show up. You're really good, you caught me on that one.
i think you are cranky b/c you have low-self esteem due to being horrible at board games. pick a weekend and let's do this right. hardcore style.
Are you for real this time or am I going to pick a weekend and you're like "Oh, I'm washing my hair that weekend-alllll weekend."
yo that's so wrong. my hair is like 1/8 of a cm long. takes me like 2 secs to wash. why don't you get some hot, single, spiritual massage therapist friends and show up.
Maybe i will. She's really smart so i'm sure she'll be glad to wreck you, too.
WOAH! You know one!?!? is she 23???? this may be my...fortunate (!) day!!!
no, she's 21. I believe we had this discussion a couple weeks ago-you know, the girl w/ the big black bf that magnum thinks you should go for anyway.
oh yeah. bring her. not the BF. Magnum, thanks for the vote of confidence!!
OK, and the 2 of us will wonder around Mahwah aimlessly until we find you. Why don't you just set up the board on a main street so we can publically humiliate you.
Hey Mike, is shari going to VT w/ you guys? If so, why don't you give her the heads up on Dan :)
yeah seriously come on mike put in a good word. i live halfway between rt. 208 and rt. 17. you will not get lost. i will email you directions when you send me a date and time.
1/12/03 6:30pm-tenatively. I'll ask shari if that's good for her. As long as it's good for you tough guy.
Why do you need a partner? shari won't be mine. we'll play individually but we're just both gonna beat you.
yeah. i don't believe that for a second. you will try to gang up on me so you can make out with me. typical.
oh no! you caught me again. i wasn't going to bring my husband for that very reason, but now you ruined our surprise for you.
im soo stumbled..... get a ROOM!
no. we are going to be lewd right here on ezabel. beachbum, just so you know, i have no actual idea who you are at all.
i just read this for the first time today, i'm glad you're okay di.
