Stuff

I've been trying something I read in Family Circle about dry skin. It said to use hair conditioner (Suave is best) rub it all over in the shower and rinse off, then dab dry. I have found out it doesn't work very well for me, I just need a lot more moistureizer. My skin is so dry it looks like sand paper if I don't do something about it (comes from living in dry Arizona). I have found that Bath and Body lotion creams work best for me, even the baby oil doesn't do it.
Why does it take so long to get your car serviced? I spent 3 and 1/4 hours in the service department today! Man, was my back hurting by the time I got out of there! But, I was so blessed that I took the car in today, the battery died when they tried to start it to take it back into the service dept., I knew it was about time for it to go, it's been 2 years and batteries just don't last longer than that in this heat of AZ. I'm sure glad it happened there and not out somewhere when I was all alone. I should have know what was happening because I've had strange messages on my note board and I should have know it was the battery dying.
Someone is out tearing up the street in front of my house today, I don't know who, either the city, SRP, or the sewer company. Anyway they have been making a mess and a lot of loud noise, of course I missed most of it because I was spending the day in the dealership! Lovely!

Great Stuff, Grandma! (pun intended!)

I like your comment about "strange messages" on the dash board. I'm just really curios about what these strange messages were saying?

Thank goodness the battery died there!

I don't know why you're complaining Grandma. I love strange messages on my dashboard. It makes me feel a little less strange.

And 3 hours at a dealership??? That's so lucky! I love sitting in the dealership...smelling tires and oil...

I have a theory that they leave you sitting there for so long because they want you to think about the fact that if you had a new car...you wouldn't need to get it serviced this much...and you wouldn't be waiting around...before long, you're looking at a new car and then BLAMO! They got you. You buy a new car.

Don't fall for it. And when you do fall for it, get a pretty pink car.

Bryan $ Lisa, some of the messages were things like "Passenger Air Bag Service Required" (even with no passenger there) and "Check Oil Level", I think those things are strange especially when I knew the oil level was fine. I do think it was just being cranky!
And Yesh, Lisa, the first person I saw when I went inside tried to sell me a new car! But I didn't fall for it , there were no pink ones available.
Yes, Kimber, I sure felt blessed that the battery died there not some weird place like the grocery store or Jordan and Betts house.
