I have had some problems over the last week.  My hubby took my car to help some "friends" with a paper route, and the key broke off in the ignition.  These "friends" told us that they would call the newspaper office (where the car broke down) and let them know that the car would be there for a few days, just over the weekend.  These people told us that the paper office was ok with that.  The "friends" told us that they would buy and replace the ignition switch and the door lock that they broke and that they would have it done the next day.  After almost two weeks, we get a call from the people we are buying the car from saying that they were taking the car back from us because it had been towed off from the paper office and placed in impound.  Apparently the car was towed at 8 AM, but we didn't know until about 5 or 6 PM.  The "friends" had lied to us about calling the paper office.  Anyway, it turns out that they had lied to us about everything. They told us they had ordered the part.  They told us the part had come in, then that it hadn't come in yet, and so on.  Turns out they hadn't ever ordered the stupid thing.  What a bunch of "friends" huh?  Good news is we may still be able to work something out on the car with the owners.  Hopefully we will have the car back soon, with the ignition and door fixed.  The other things that have made this week stressful are: Donny's truck breaking down the day after the car breaks down, and our dog got really sick for a few days.  Our dog Casper is getting better, slowly but surely.  So that stress is lifting too.  Oh well.  Can't make diamonds with out pressure and stress.
