Thanks Joanne, I think it's like Mac said, the number of true friends you have you can count on your hands.
Anyway, Mic fun about the car. It sounds like a strip down car, but as long as it gets him to and from work, it's a good thing to have. I hate being in car dealerships too. It takes forever to sign all that paperwork.

Good morning..........
Yes, it is a small Mazda truck, bright red (you know, so he can attract the ladies... 
), and the only extra's that came with it are air and it does have a bed liner. But it should last him the rest of our day's, and for just a basic truck, it isn't bad looking and it will suit its purpose. We drove several used trucks and also another new model, the used were OK, but $$ wise with the higher interest, it was paying the same payments as the new, and they weren't exactly what we wanted. I just hate when you get in these places and they start with the "we are doing this for you, other places would charge you for this, we are here to make this easy"...blah blah blah....don't patronize me, I know you are here to make money off selling me this...and I don't for a minute think you are not!! So, long story short, I finally got to sleep, was restless all night and now have a headache, but like Momma said, this to will pass.... 
We financed it thru Mazda to get the rebates, but now I'm in the process of trying to secure the money thru our credit union....less % and for 12 months less on the terms, we will save some $$. So hope that works ok........all this financial talk makes me spin.......... 
I might drive the red beauty to work on Monday.............hot grandma in her red pick-up...... 
hang in there.............and have I said lately
but to just have people to share with and get it all out....cheaper than therapy.........LOL 
yesterday while dh and I were out...my son said he and his buddy went on a frantic search....ds said he was more worried about ME and what I would do to him if he hadn't found my little guy, than where the dog was......... 
It turned into a nice evening for them. For my baseball buddies, did you see the guy slug the CWS player in the jaw? Not very sportsmanlike, but it did look funny..........
OT, but our Ford stock is @ $7, don't ask what we bought it @ - just can't bring myself to sell. Personally, I like haggling w/dealers - always embarras my DH who unleashes me on the salesperson & walks away (caution, bulldog @ work grrrrrrr).
Yeah, I was getting antsy in the place yesterday and my not so nice side surfaced...in fact, dh who is usually very placid about the whole thing, got up out of the chair in the finance office and said he was "done, I'm leaving"...he had to crawl over me though and couldn't get out...LOL...it was dumb...with Mazda, on a joint application, EACH person has to fill one out...so it ended up on the 4 personal references (and by the way, why do they need 4 people?) we had 2 the same, oh NO that won't do, so I had to change some of mine, which gave us a total of 8 people....what ticked me off was the dumb stump salesgirl is the one who said "oh, it doesn't matter who you put down" 
So I then proceeded to tell the finance man that no offense, but they better start training their salespeople on how forms are to be filled out...no one wants to be filling them out twice!! 
But I totally agree on buying American......we tried and nothing was in what we could spend right now. 
i'll be sending that link off all day! Revenge of long dong duc. They're probaby matriculating @ MIT, check out the kid in the background - @ 1st I thought he was trying to study but, he's probably surfing porn sites.LOL If you stick it out 'till the end, notice that muffin on the left has a cast on his left arm - karoke injury.
