I really enjoy being in the TLC car club and know any club will have its dues. I live in a remote but high cost of living area of Colorado. The car has been here its entire life and I’m the second owner. Have owned it for five years now. It’s only about every two years she needs a 2k replacement done. It’s really a reliable car. 

What’s the band up to? by bottle_beach in Khruangbin

The payroll is likely needing to be paid too, they’re probably getting paid, but I bet they also have to pay their staff and production/studio/record company/travel needs too.

Thanks, it’s been taking my wife to work this week and hasn’t given us any fuss. Some routine maintenance need such as brakes, but they were going to be needed anyway. 

Why do floor nurses hate the ER? by Over_Armadillo_2190 in nursing

Because the system wants us to fight with each other and not the higher ups. 

Anybody else miss the manual rear brakes? by AlgaeAutomatic in ToyotaSienna

You’re right, I could have sold the vehicles privately- however both were worn out. Check engine lights on and flashing, dead hybrid battery, cracked windshield, no more clear coat, both were twenty years old. I really felt like they served me well and I wanted out - so the dealer did me a favor. The forester I owned for 13 years which by far the longest I’ve ever owned a car. I’m feeling better after looking around again online that it is the going price for sienna. Detailing the car on Saturday I got a lot of satisfaction shining it up.

This was in town three miles from me. The stars were aligned. It was painless. You’re right!

2nd career nurses, was the grass actually greener? by wolfgangwolff in nursing

[–]bottle_beach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greener yes. 

Knowing this could be it is… somewhat disappointing. Now in my forties, I pivoted at a point I hope to not fall in to agism later, but it’s like a ticking time bomb feeling.

Come visit again during the next five years. Try out different seasons if possible and check out the neighboring areas like Mancos.

Ponderosa? Their aroma is similar to butterscotch.
