$600 Later, My Car Runs Again

By Mrs. Accountability on June 11th, 2009

Sheesh!! So it ended up that the coolant temperature sensor that was broken by a previous mechanic, that Mr. A replaced (instead of complaining to the mechanic) was defective.

When your coolant temperature sensor is defective, it will cause your car to have a “hard start” which apparently also will cause it to die [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

I Gave Away My Walgreens $25 Gift Card

By Mrs. Accountability on June 10th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, I saw something very disturbing. A young woman, probably in her early to mid-twenties was at a fast food restaurant where one of my coworkers and I had gone for lunch.

June Garden Harvest

By Mrs. Accountability on June 8th, 2009

This weekend I had a great harvest from the garden. 12 pounds of produce! My poor harvesting basket was creaking and swaying for the weight. I didn’t dare carry it by the handle, I had to hold it right up close to my chest.

$100 at the Dentist

By Mrs. Accountability on June 2nd, 2009

I finally got to the dentist last Thursday. I had already cancelled three times, and I couldn’t cancel again, so I forced myself to go.

My boss told me the story of why she got all her teeth pulled when she was 24 years old. She says her bottom teeth were beautiful, all straight, [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

My Car Is Sick

By Mrs. Accountability on June 1st, 2009

It’s been doing this thing where it starts up just fine in the morning, then after I get to work if I have to go anywhere within an hour of arriving, it won’t start.
