I think you will enjoy the movie. The animation is darling and the dialogue is clever.

Oh! Silly me. I just realized you were talking about the sequel.

I've only seen the first one, but I'll have to try to catch the sequel some day, since I found the first movie to be so entertaining.

You could sell it to help finance much needed car repairs, or you could keep it, watch blue ray videos and game. Your choice, be a gamer or survive.

I doubt that would work for your destroyed tires.

Is the tyre you are taking about "sliming" the one with the inside edge worn down so that the steel wires are showing??

My bad - it is one of your older tyres, so is it the "emergency spare"?

Oh, great - I'll load a few into my case at £250, hop over to your side of the pond and flog 'em for $500....
Not often prices work that way round - normally we are paying £1=$1 on the price tag.

Don't even think about it - If the wires are showing and it's leaking air at that rate then then inner rubber is shot to bits and slime will only make a horrid mess all over the place and not stop the air getting out. Also the structure of the tyre has been compromised, there is a fair chance that the tread may split away from the sidewall :-(

(Beside that, tyre fitter hate slime with a passion beyond belief - it makes a real mess on the inside of the rim that has to be scraped off before it can be scrubbed off before they can fit the new tyre - in the worst case they may write the rim off, which is most certainly not what you or I want to happen)

A thought - does the tyre fitter place work Saturday morning, in which case why not get your friend to give lift there with the various bits and get the new tyre mounted on the new rim.....

Well the $38.91 rim or wheel is not "completeable", the seller said that, this is because the rim/wheel is for a 2001 Hyundai Elantra(not in the ad, just afterwards), and not for a 1999 Ford Escort zx2 sport Hot Coupe, so they want to cancel the sale and refund the money back to My paypal account.

I found that 15x5.5" Ford made Escort zx2 rim again, it's the same type as I use now, it's $60.00 w/FREE shipping, and the rim comes with no center cap, so there goes another $9.44 when I have enough for that, plus $46 for the tire, and $6.00 for mounting and balancing, just so I can have a spare tire for My car, otherwise My car will shred a tire again.

Then I still need to replace 3 more Nankang 185/60x15 tires, which other people have said have given them trouble, as in going flat with no real warning.


The above was from your mid Sept. post. You knew you had issues with you cars tires back then.
And what did you do? You wanted a an Xbox and went on a Diet MD and Chip binge. You poured how many bottles down the drain and threw in the trash how many bags of chips after you won the xbox? Why did you not donate the left over spoils to one of your home community centers? Surely there must be some one in your community who would have loved to have some extras.
I'm still waiting on how the trash TV from E-bay will turn out.
Enjoy escaping from reality with your Xbox.

Hi Vic! I'm glad your gaming system arrived and I hope you have fun with it.

Eric likes gaming too. After dinner some nights, Eric has been playing this alternate history war game. It is a great form of stress relief for him. Eric has been playing this game for several months now, on and off. I keep asking him if he has won, but apparently that's not really the point with this game. I hear the most amusing music coming out of his den. If an armada is sailing, there is a certain tune that happens. If people are riding elephants, there is another tune that happens. If he pauses the game, there's another tune that will play and play and play until I ask him to cut the sound.

I don't really "get it", but if Eric enjoys playing it, that is good enough for me! I can think of worse hobbies he could have...

Vic, I'm sorry so many things are going wrong right now. I had car trouble this week too - a flat tire and a dead battery. I noticed both on Sunday, but didn't have enough free time to get anything repaired until Wednesday. Thank goodness for Uber!

The pain in My body is going down, I took 2 650mg Tylenol 8hr caplets, My arms were hurting too.

Dinner was good, home made spaghetti, and I have enough for Saturday from what I cooked, I didn't have enough spaghetti sauce, I had 4 cans, and 4 cans of tomato sauce, I used 2 of each, it worked, barely. I have enough ingredients for Sunday and Monday, after that it's back to fish fillets and mixed veggies, I think all the way until February 2nd.

Sounds like you should have sold those extra bottles of Diet MD and Chips on E-bay for some extra cash to buy food.

Two cans of tomatoe plus two cans of sauce = barely enough?
That is between four and sixteen "normal" portions, not one. Little wonder you have guts ache and weigh over 400 pounds...
Just how much pasta did you boil up??
A "standard" portion is about 3 to 4 ounces, on the scant evidence you've provided I'd guess betwee 8 and 16 ounces.
Get a set of working kitchen scales and use them for every meal and snack you eat.
