My car it seems had an aftermath from the crash in the form of some electrical circuit that drains the battery even if the car is off. So now is on the repair shop again, a complet drag for me since I have to take mom's car which leaves her without mobilization. And the days she needs it on the mornings I have to take her first and then go to work in the middle of rush hour, whohc of course increases your stress. 
Sorry for the long rant but I needed to take it off my system.

yep, a car mostly suffers some smaller damages after a crash...
My wive drove through a pretty big hole in the road a while ago...The front wheel was damaged and replaced. But I had a feeling the car wasn't driving very well any more after that. Just untill last week we replaced the tires and saw the rear wheel was hit too. Now it drives like an angel again :-)
I luckely allways have some spare oldtimers for when the daily drivers need repairs. Cars can be a drag indeed, but you just can't miss them.

Indeed.
Oh I already spent nearly $US150 to repair the front axles covers and a bushing on the rear wheel support, plus a tire (with two nails in it).
It seems my mechanic nailed the electrical problem and he will return most probably (NOT) the car tomorrow.
A drag...
P.S. After $468 now the car is fixed on the electrical system and the engine has been cleaned complete, now I have to go to check-up on Tuesday, wish me luck. My mean machine is back!

We had a 5.2 earthquake around 5:30 this morning and another smaller 4.something at 11:14am. About 5 aftershocks, so far. I hope there is no more!

We are accustomed to quakes in here, I guess it was quite shocking for you.

We almost never get quakes here, there was one about 15 years or so ago, in the middle of the night, that was pretty scary, and probably nothing compared to this... Hope there's no damage Delize !!
Our youngest daughter and some of her friends were hassled by an exhibitionist today. He drove next to them and masturbated in front her and two other 12-year old girls. Unfortunatly she was afraid to tell us at first (from the shock I guess), otherwise the guy would probably have witnessed a castration from close by if I could get my hands on him. Sick minds, too much of them is this world...Hopefully police still can catch him, chanses are small I'm afraid. These guys don't understand these kids will remember this for their whole further lives...sick, sick ,sick ...

I had just got up and I was fixing a cup of tea. I heard what I thought was a gust of very strong wind. It felt like the house was going to rip apart. My furnace and hot water vent pipes were making a weird noise. Again in those few seconds I thought it was the wind blowing so hard it was blowing down into the pipes. I finally realized the pipes were vibrating. I knew then it was an earthquake. It didn't scare me, but the second smaller quake did.
