Well my mom is still in the hospital (she went in yesterday for a blood transfusion) and my Jeep broke down yesterday (the vehicle security module went out) but at least the wife is coming home.

There is something for which to give thanks. I hope y'all have a good day today.

Yay Congrats Draug. Hopefully the other things won't be to troublesome.

half of my prayer is answered! Krellin, are you running a fever?

I won't ask exactly what the half that was answered was for. :-)

@Draug, he prayed that your wife's illness would be transferred to krellin.

Congratulations for you and your wife.

Santaclaus - I'm actually a nice guy at heart, despite appearances to the contrary...and Draug in particular is one of the few truly compassionate, understanding souls around here and I care for his well being.

I would explain further...but I won't.

You misunderstood me. I wished Draug's wife's disease on you. I'm glad his wife is better, Part 1. I'm just hoping you are getting sick, Pat 2.

I fear for the illness that dares to trifle with the kind of woman that can put up with Draug. Poor thing never stood a chance!

Glad things are looking up :)

I'm very happy for you and your wife, Draugnar, and wish you many more good years together !

Plus one Octavious. :-)

Ah, Santa, the kind-hearted, compassionate Liberate...always wishing ill and evil upon your enemies. Another fine example of what raging hypocrites you are in reality. No surprise...the truth generally evades you, and that principle is evident in both your words and your actions (which are usually in stark contrast to one another...)

Only one enemy. The lowest piece of slime I've had the misfortune of knowing on the internet, and that i saying something.

With a good liberal such as yourself, there is *always* a ready excuse as for why you violate your principles. Note, you didn't deny that you violate what you cliam to believe...you simply make excuses as to why. *That* is why you are so despicable.

It's a pleasure to be so judged by you...if you viewed me with any favorability, I would have to question my existence. Know that I stand for most things you despise means I am *solidly* on the correct path.

Santa, I don't generally like Krellin much either, but Draugnar created this thread specifically to give us some good news about his wife's illness. This isn't really the right place for you to pick a fight with Krellin.

She is home and we had tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner.

Huzzah!

I shall toast a teacake in her honour :)

Something like that?

Something along those lines, but mine look rather better ;)

Yum, toasted teacakes. I want one now. But it's 00:25 and the shops are all closed. OH well.

And my mom came home today too. Now to get the Jeep back from the shop.

Glad to hear your wife is doing better!

Great to hear, Draug! I'm glad they're both feeling better.

(Now if you just get your Jeep back, your weekend will have been the opposite of a country song).

Here's hoping they figure it out and have the part(s) to fix it tomorrow.

Draug - what sort of Jeep? We've got a 2002 Liberty, 4WD with the V6....amazingly fun to drive...*worst* fuel economy *ever*. If it weren't for the financial hit every time I drive it, I would be literally thrilled as the "green house" gases it exudes upon unsuspecting liberals who think it such a cute little ride...mwaa ha ha!

08 Liberty (newer body style - more manly) with the same 3.7 V6. 4x4 with black-powDer coated side tube rails added (Jeep doesn't make them for the Liberty). Yeah, not the most fuel efficient (used to have an 07 Liberty Limited as well for the wife) but it is nearly as capable off road as a Wrangler but with the comforts of the Grand Cherokee. I have been considering trading.ot for.a MB C350

Stupid phone...

Considering the trade for the Mercedes because my mother in law has a hard time.getting in and out. And the C350 can be gotten in 4WD.

I'm surprised to hear that you'd be replacing the Jeep for that reason. My 85yo grandmother much prefers her Grand Cherokee to sedans.

The Liberty is hard to get in and out of the backseat and my mother in law has a hard time stepping up even for the front especially as the 08-12 Liberty has side airbags so no hand hold on the pillar. But I may just buy the Mercedes and keep the Liberty for the snow and ice and for some off roading fun. I used to have an 05 Grand Cherokee and it was easier to get in and out as it actually had less ground clearance than the Liberty and was old enough it still had hand rails on the pillar. I would still have it if I hadn't totalled it in a bad ice storm.
