However, I have decided not to worry about it. I have to go to NYC to the dentist on Monday. Other than that, I will be fine. Because it's a stick shift, if I park it on a hill or get someone to push me in 2nd gear, it will start and get me to Craig's.

I have driven cars that have been in a cloud of smoke, had zero gears left, I ran out of gas in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, and did I ever tell you guys about the time I backed up on the Triborough Bridge because I passed my exit? Boy, did I get called every name in the book by all the people behind me! When I ran out of gas in the tunnel, the cop and I just started laughing when I told him why I was just standing still at the very end of the tunnel. A lot of horns were honking that day! I also gave a crack addict $5.00 to go get me gas when I got towed out. He came back with the gas too. I knew he would, and he gave me some of his candy that he had been eating.

The hot water heater Steve said he will fix when I asked him who to call. He's an electrician, and it's an electric heater.

When is another story. I was po'ed when I went over yesterday and he was doing yard work. The day before, they went out to lunch. I have to keep my mouth shut for the most part though. I also have to remember that he is not drinking now, and is out of work. Before, he would have just been drinking. in other words, his coping skills are not great, but he isn't drinking,
I'm not getting pushy when he is accomplishing this! I also have to remember that this is not personal.

Thank goodness I do not have to be quiet about how annoying they both are here!!!
