Today while waiting in line at Wal-Mart this announcement came over the speaker: Would the lady looking for the Wizard of Oz please come back to electronics….AGAIN would the lady looking for the Wizard of Oz, please come back to electronics.

I looked at the customer next to me and said that the lady that was looking for the Wizard of Oz should have just followed the yellow brick road!

It’s just time to say ENOUGH to “that” friend who is nothing but a fucking pain in my ass.

No matter what I say to her, it’s wrong and I’m some how judging her. She does nothing but whine about how horrible she feels (HYPOCHONDRIAC) but if I ask about her health then I’m judging her. WTF?! I’m just so over it, sick of it, whatever.

She brings nothing but fucking aggravation to my life and really, what’s the point?!

NOTHING!

I’m so done.

I have been in a good mood lately (I know right–shocker). It’s been this way for about 3 weeks. Unfortunately, I know that means there is a big CRASH coming and I can tell it won’t be long. The crash happens when tiny things start to bother me and my mood drastically changes from UP to down down down. I suppose it’s like coming off a drug high. The big crash hurts when it happens and makes me more pissy than usual.

I wish I knew a way to stop it from coming but I don’t. It will happen sooner rather than later.

I am done truck shopping!

Believe it or not, I found an honest dealership that didn’t want to rip me off and they gave me what I asked for in trade for my car sight unseen. In the end, I only had to go 100 miles to get the truck I wanted! I ended up gaining 3 years compared to my car and losing 30,000 miles off the odometer too!

Woot! There are still some honest people left out there!

I just wanted to add to this a little bit. When I looked at this particular ad on the internet for the truck, I didn’t notice that it said that truck had new tires but my sister did. My husband had pointed out to me that the truck needed tires and then my sister said it’s suppose to have new tires. I called the dealership back about it and mentioned the tires and the salesman said that the employees were worried he’d sold the truck because the new tires were sitting there for it and that he had intended to tell me right away that it had slipped by him that they were not put on. I thought that was really cool. He has also let me bring the truck home for my husband to look at and just bring it back the next day. When we had the tire discussion, he said they would need it for 2 or 3 hours to do the tires and detail it and that I could take my car and do whatever I needed to do. All in all this was a great experience! They were super nice people who seemed very genuine.

Really? OMG I didn’t know that!

So we’re still in the process of trying to buy a truck and we have looked at a lot of them but there’s been too many issues with them so we haven’t bought anything yet.

The other day, we looked at a truck which I was really pushed into going to see by the salesman though I didn’t think the truck would work for me. After driving it, I commented to the salesman that the truck needed tires and his reply was yeah–Wal-Mart sells tires. I said so do you, maybe you should put some on it.

I just cannot believe these crooked fuckers in the car business. There was more to that whole story but we won’t even go there.

It’s important to remember though–Wal-Mart sells tires.

Yes, it is possible; however unlikely, to make me utterly gobsmacked. I’m very pissed off (yet) and will probably stay that way until Monday when I call this place and bitch them out.

Here’s what happened.

I stopped at a used car place today to look at a truck. I went in and told the guy I wanted to know a little more about the truck and told him I wanted to look at it. He sat there like a bump then went and got the folder for it and said it’s a 2000, has x many miles and I said ok. He just stood there–didn’t offer the keys or anything and I said yeah I need a truck. He then says why do you need a truck. I was taken totally aback by that and said WHY NOT and he says well some people need a truck and some don’t. I was flabbergasted and it takes a lot to do that with me. I just got up and walked out.

Apparently the stupid old bastard didn’t like the way I looked or something. Either that or he simply has no interest in selling vehicles.

Do car salesman not know that in the internet age they really can’t bullshit people about car values the way they use to be able to?

The last 2 days have been filled with car salesmen who are just plain rotten and dirty lying rip off artists!

Yesterday I looked at a truck for $7900 that had the service engine light on and ran pretty crappy. When the salesman asked me what I thought of the truck I said I think it’s a piece of shit. He wasn’t very happy about that and asked why and I said well for one thing, the service engine light is on. He told me that could be any one of a hundred things and I said yeah and I’m not dealing with them. What the fuck? How stupid do they think I am?

Today I looked at a truck and I knew the value of the truck based on my research at nadaguides.com kbb.com and edmunds.com. I also know full well the trade-in value of my car which is $3885. These fucking morons offered my $1350 in trade for my car! No bullshit, over $2000 less than what it’s worth! I told the guy that was a plain out insult and he asked me how much I expected and I said no less than $4000. He said they would give me $3000 if they marked the truck up to the “actual” value of it which they think is $9900 LOL. I didn’t ask him but sure wanted to know if he thought I fell off the turnip truck.

I then switched gears and decided to see what my husband’s car would be worth in trade so I again did my research and looked it up. Trade in for his car should be $3500 and that’s in “good” (not excellent) condition. I called about a different truck that we had looked at yesterday and the guy told me my husbands car was worth $2000 in trade. Again–there went that turnip truck but I sure didn’t fall off the fucker!

My god these people are shysters!

Ever since the whole dryer debacle, my life has gone down hill.

today I realized why–it’s karma biting me in the ass for not giving my dryer to that “friend”. I know that shit isn’t going to improve until I break down and give her the fucking dryer.

Karma bites!

My new kitty is working out really well. He’s super friendly and loving. He is definitely a cuddler and has a loud purr and lots of personality too which is great.

He’s become my buddy in these few short days and he has even learned his name already! He’s had his vet check-up and he’s a nice healthy guy.

On another kitty-related note, I was vacuuming my carpet Saturday and discovered that the cat I got rid of has obviously peed much more than I knew because I found a spot that SMELLS really bad and needs to be shampooed. I would have done that already but I can’t get to the shampooer and hubby’s back is out so he cant’ get it for me. Needless to say–after finding this I wasn’t missing the old kitty nearly as much.

I fear I am going to find more and more spots he had peed though my house doesn’t smell so I sure hope not. If I find more then I will hire someone to come in and shampoo EVERYTHING!

So as of Wednesday I said I asked for the peeing kitty back. Well I changed my mind at least 3000 times that day and had a really awful day as a whole.

I was having a really bad anxiety problem Wednesday presumably brought on by my kitty misery.

In the end, I did not take the peeing kitty back in part because they couldn’t catch him out on the farm he went to and in part because I realized I shouldn’t deal with a peeing kitty no matter what.

That brought on my anxiety issue with feeling like a horrible parent that would just abandon their child at the first sign of trouble and it seemed and seems yet so wrong to me.

I realized that I have some very deep rooted abandonment issues because of my childhood situation but we won’t go there.

Probably the most illogical thing I did Wednesday other than asking for the peeing kitty back was going to the humane society and adopting a new cat to try to aleviate my sadness over missing the other one

The new cat is very nice and thus far hasn’t peed on me or my furniture which is a major bonus.

We’ll see if it will end up being a mistake too though I’m not expecting it to be.
