If you don't do it now you will be forever plagued with scrimping and saving for that next chrome goodie only to find that at the last minute the kid needs to go to the doctor, or its time to pay for swimming lessons, gymnastics, boy scout camping trips or some other activity that miraculously equals the exact amount that you've been scrimping and saving.

The days of happily wandering the aisles of the parts store and picking up the new set of wrenches is over. No more can you spend a lazy afternoon picking through rusty junk at the pull-a-part yard looking for treasures. Now you must rush to the stores at oddball hours to pick up huge packages of daipers, baby aspirin, humidifiers, and that funky blue colored miniature turkey baster looking bulb thingie that is supposed to suck snot out of any orifice. And if you do get some free time the first thing on your mind will probably be a nap........

.........but I digress...

Congrats on the new addition to your family!

Geez.... Bobby my friend...... did you forget to take your meds today ?

We called it the "booger-machine" incidently...... Some of my favorite memories when Dad was alive was scrounging around wrecking yards looking for that precious metal.

Congratulations ! and God Bless your "Family"

Dawg,

I've had a frosty beverage or two.....I'm better now

Just for a little background. I posted after getting back from the tire store where I had to fork over $160 to get a matching tire to the set that I had just picked up on the cheap for my Suburban. My teenager hit something in the road and then drove on the flat long enough to ruin the tire..... My good deal on tires had just went down the drain.
On the bright side, I just got his grades for the semester...Woohooo (Makes up for the tire)

Bobby
