winterbadger: (pint in the hand)
Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] peatsmoke, [livejournal.com profile] ticktockmary, Kirstin, and everyone else who helped out with advice or information. I can now type "newly knighted newts are a nuisance" at speed. Not nice to be N-less; now not necessary to noodle out a reword. Instead of several weeks and $50+ through the useless ATSI, I am now re-N-ed for less than $10, included insured and registered mail.

One small victory!

ouch!

winterbadger: (bugger!)
With the news of my new raise, what do I blow my money on this week? A present for my aging parents? An electronic toy for myself? New scratchy boards for the cats? A tempestuous but beautiful Armenian mistress?

No, a new starter motor. $300, ow! But nothing says "Oh, bugger"* like sitting int he parking lot turning the key and getting nothing, as I did for ten minutes last night before it finally caught, so I guess it's worth it.

Can you still get those cranks that people used to start their cars with if the ignition didn't work? No? Oh, well...





* My mother has suddenly started commenting on how often I say this. Hmmm. Didn't think it was *that* rude.
