Oh was cold on market yesterday , cold like a hell but was -8 celsius
Hey everyone..
I'm still here and wanted to just say hello. Thinking about you guys. A bit worse for the wear but here regardless. Going through a lot, I guess.
Hi Sal good you left the note, I was wondering about you. I have now an awful anxiety cause on March 2 I had to board airplane (8 house in the air) With my frigging fear of flying ............eh
I'm glad that I don't have a fear of flying. I'm sorry to those who do.
Mike have you fly many times? I had 5 and each time left me in panicky state, I know statistics, More chance that I will have automobile accident than airplane
Still
Dahila, the last time I flew was way back in 2004.
However, I've flown a number of different times back in the 90's as well as in the early 2000s.
it was my last time too, but I must fly this time ;)
It is going to be my 7 fly if it was a bit shorter but is over 8 hours in the air
I have to get my car's oil changed by my mechanic tomorrow afternoon. I'm also going to have him look over my car to make sure their are no new repairs needed.
Wish me luck.
I wish you luck, I am blessed with my hubby he is master of all trades but mainly cars, Not only every year I have a different car but now he is looking for a Rava SUV for me. For the last 15 years I had not worry about cars, Before that it was tragic . eh
I hope you go with full syntetic, It lasts 10 km and engine likes that a lot .
I did go with full synthetic oil, Dahila.
Unfortunately for me, I will have to see my mechanic a little over a week from now once again because my car needs some work done to it. Luckily it's not going to cost a great deal of money, however.
I keep my fingers crossed that is not going be too much
It's great to be able to see a local mechanic who is competent at auto repair work and who is honest. He's been my mechanic for many years.
If he is honest keep him. I had a guy, Canadian guy who was fixing my car, even my English at this time was not so good. He was fantastic one, no problem to understand me and I trusted him completely. Mike was his name is a great , honest person
I have kept him as my mechanic for a long time, and I'll continue to do so.
I stopped going to my honest Mike when my hubby moved in, He had a huge business, autobody shop :))
I told him that we do not need two cars. but he is so scared of taking me shopping that he keeps rebuilding new cars for me
I have flown probably over 100 times and I take a half of a Valium before I fly because sometimes I get a bit dizzy from the motion and the pill helps me quite a bit. I am not afraid of the plane crashing even though I have been involved with a few instances while flying which I will not go into unless I am requested to do so. I once sat near a Southwest Airlines pilot who told me how safe flying really is and that helped me quite a bit.
I will tell one story that is not bad. My wife and I were flying out of BWI airport here in Baltimore in January 2019, on a direct non-stop flight to Phoenix Arizona. There was a snow storm the day before which continued into the morning of our flight. We were worried the plane would not take off. We boarded the plane on time and since there was ice, the plane had to be de-iced. After the deicing, the pilot came out in the isle and looked out the windows on each side and said he wanted to make sure the wings looked OK before takeoff and he said all looks good. We took off right into the snow storm and all was fine. The takeoff was a bit bumpy, but we were all OK and you will be too. I would not worry.
I have a 2017 Honda Ridgeline and I always take it to the dealer I bought it from as I have an extended warranty and so far I have been treated very fairly by them and have not been charged a few times when I had some minor issues. Many dealers however, I have found to be too expensive and a rip off, so I stay away from them if possible.
I've never owned a brand new vehicle before. I've always owned pre-owned vehicles (which is a fancy word for used vehicles).
yep honda ridegeline is an awesome truck , My cars are preowned too :) but he gets them pretty early and with very low mileage. Usually they are still on dealers guarantee, Honestly I do not like changing the cars so often. I like the routine :)
Dealers are blood succers
When I bought the truck new, my wife sort of gave me a hard time and said it was too expensive. I told her that I was 60 years old (I am now 63) and I work very hard and I should be able to buy something I really like and she did not say too much after that.
Today the weather here in Maine was nice, as it got into the upper 40's F. It was also very sunny.
As a result, I took advantage of the nice weather by going out for a long walk around my neighborhood.
I'm glad I did.
The weather is pretty nice here in Baltimore today. It may get into the 50's. Even though I have to work, it is good that there are no issues with the weather.
I'm glad that spring will be here in less than a month.
Miserable today snowing but only -1 Celsius
I've gotten all my errands done today because I'll likely be stuck inside the house all day tomorrow, as we're supposed to get perhaps a foot of wet and heavy snow were I live.
I hope I don't lose my electricity tomorrow. It won't be a huge deal if I do. But I'd rather not have it go off.
I hate snow. When I was young I didn't care, but now that I am older, I hate large amounts of snow immensely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm also looking forward to it, Mike. Walking outside in the heat for some reason is uplifting to my mood. I usually enjoy bringing my mp3 player along with me.Quote:

I don't have the insight lately to create a new thread.
I think I live in the past too much and I'm stuck in a time warp of when I was in my 30's (I'm 47) and I can't get those years back. I've degraded much since then, even though I was hardly doing well then by all accounts. I've become more withdrawn from society and the little social interaction increases the problem but trying to force becoming friendly is not natural for me. I don't react the same to typical social cues as others do and I silently study people and see my weaknesses and shortcomings. I'm very timid and shy. Far Too nice and kind and wear my heart of my sleeve. Sorry just complaining and babbling, I think. Thank you for putting up with it.
Sorry for the constant edits. Just struggling to stay coherent and make sense.
feeling of guilt, I am there too, Our past is never leaving us. I know it is not possible to change but I do struggle like you Sal and it is already for over 30 years. nothing helps, the past always catch me in most unexpected ways. yes social interaction, the pretending to be friendly and happy is difficult. My social interaction are only on market once a week and they are limited to 2 or 3 hours of talking to customers. They ask questions I answer. Many people come to my booth to give me a hug and talk , it is so difficult. I am the happiest when left alone. I am so worry about going on coming Monday to Europe and the time in airplane when people will not leave me alone. It is my sunny completion :)
Everyone wants to talk to me, it is kind of difficult to shot myself out. Then 3 weeks in Poland, with family, how will I survive all the talking??????? Keep your fingers cross Sall for me.
It is really scary , The only consolation is I am not planing to go there again in this life.
I talk to my bro every two weeks on Skype and I am exhausted after all
I probably do understand what you are going through Sal
Thanks, Dahila. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, I know you will get through it.
I hope so, ;) thanksQuote:

Having a good day.
Dahila, have a safe trip and a good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right now I'm just chilling out sitting in the sun in the living room waiting for two XFL football games on TV which will take place later on today.
Thank you Kirk, I probably will look here tomorrow morning, My plane is at 10:45 pm, We leave at 4 pm it is 2 hours drive to airport . Kind os scary so many hours :) Thank you
I enjoyed watching XFL games over the weekend on TV. I don't have a favorite team, or at least not yet. But I'm enjoying watching the games nonetheless.
I am back , it was not good vacation. after a week everything shot down in Poland, so my family kept me inside . Eh the awful time there. I got early flight back. Now I am kind of worry ,
I'm doing well coping with the coronavirus problems our world is facing. I'm being careful but not being paranoid either.
I am trying not to but with my Diabetes, High blood pressure and COPD I am in the group of highest risk
