things i remember about this show -
gil gerard. was gonna marry him. oh yes. *grin*
erin grey. i loved her hair (still do!).
twiggy. tweety? tweegy? idk how you spell it! *laugh* (maybe twikki?)
the guy who would later play carlo hesser on OLTL as hawk man. i remember the make up being beautfully done. we'll see if it holds up after 20 years... : )
things i don't remember about this show -
that during his 500 years frozen in space, buck was apparently having some ... happy dreams of beautiful women. as per the opening credits of the first episode. LOL
i don't think i'm going to be able to watch the whole episode right now, since i have to take chloe in to get her oil changed, tho! first observations, tho, are that gil gerard is still very attractive unto mine eye, and that i'm gonna enjoy this! : )
had an interesting dream - turned the boss into a teacher and work into a classroom. my helper bee was there, and she was herself, but also my cousin brenna at the same time. she was making protest signs - not sure about what. then the boss turned into giles from buffy, and he was inspecting lockers. i remember thinking, wondering, why we were acting like high schoolers. at some point we ended up, my whole work team & the call center, in the sanctuary of the church i grew up in. *laugh* one of the guys was running around w/ streamers... not sure what that was about at all. but it was funny!
well, time to make the donuts! oh. wait. time to head to the car place. i shall read while i wait, hopefully not TOO long. heh. then mom & i are gonna go to sam's. finally! i hope there are some good food samples... heh.
ttfn!
***********
back from outing #1... i had a nice time in the waiting room, listening to the sounds coming from the TV - my hubby's show! hooray! : ) i read a chapter or two, and then the lady came back to tell me what's what. $40 for the oil change, look-over and fluids. it seems excessive to me, but then i know there are the places, the quick lubes, which charge 1/2 that. am i really getting more? hmmm. something to think about, i guess. mostly i like that they know my car - altho today for some reason they had all my OLD phone information - which hasn't been my info for over 5 years! *boggle* that was weird.
anyway, they said that my car was in really great shape, but that the brakes were at 4 out of 9? and to rotate them or fix them, it will be $300. does this seem right? anyone out there know about cars? then, for preventative maintenance, to extend the life of the engine, they suggest a fuel induction & coolant flush, which would be $400 more. it just seems like such a lot of money for things that don't sound that hard to do?
mom was going to pick me up at noon, but she had some things to do, i guess, so she said she'd pick me up at 2:30. so, until then, i'm reading blogs & watching Buck. : ) i also thought i would share my mail call. a postcrossing, new cards from the little fox to share w/ some peeps, and amy's card from the other day. love!
i'm not entirely sure why darcy & elizabeth are fighting cauliflower eating vampires... ? any ideas?
ttfn again! til tonight. heh.
Hello. I'm new to your blog. I just asked my husband about your car questions and he said that the price for the brake repair seemed high...is this for all four brakes? And as far as the other repairs...he thinks that is extremely high as well. The fuel induction is just adding a cleaner to your fuel lines and the radiator flush is just changing your radiator fluid...neither of these need to cost so much. I hope this helps. Maybe a 2nd opinion from a difference shop...
ReplyDeletehi brooke! thank you so much for the advice, and thanks to your husband as well! i definitely think i'm going to do a little more checking around before i pay their suggested prices. i appreciate your time! : )
