Tbank you for your positive thoughts - but in 20 years' time, I hope I'll be retired!

We loved our little Jeep Wrangler for the same reason. That little car could go anywhere! Seattle is so hilly (and so lacking in snowplows) that even a tiny bit of snow makes the roads impassable - unless you have 4-wheel drive! The problem is that the weather usually changes to rain, so the snow melts and then freezes. People mock us for our inability to drive in snow here, but, well, they don't live here. I think "Reddy" was about 18 years old, and "he" really was in good condition. Dewey takes really good car of his cars, and he is the kind of guy who records every oil change, etc., on the underside of the hood (bonnet, right?). The guy who came to take him away (the Jeep, not Dewey) was very impressed.
The Duster looks nice!
Oh, and Dewey thought he'd be retired now too, but now he WANTS to work another five or ten years, because he loves what he's doing so much. Just sayin'. :-)

Yup, they said it was uneconomic to repair. Unfortunately, it was a 12 year old Mini and although I'm sure she had many fine years in her, she was deemed a write-off.
We've thinking about a 4-wheel drive for ages because if it snows here, we can't even get down the drive or out of our road so we've been looking at a Dacia Duster. We were very impressed by it.

No, no one was hurt. However, I've a few occasions where I've had to go to the doctor because my blood pressure has suddenly plummeted. I had that today, where I could hardly stand up and my blood pressure had dropped to 15/59.

Oh, dear -- Gachnar (Still concerned), 18:14:11 07/31/14 Thu (70-58-84-59.tukw.qwest.net/70.58.84.59)
Please tell me you mean 115/49. If this happens often, you probably should not be driving. I don't want to scare you, but you really need to have this checked out. This accident could have been much, much worse.

Yes, you're correct - 115/49. However, now just sprained my ankle and can hardly walk. Perhaps I should just stay in bed! How are you, my dear?

115/49 is low enough!
So sorry about the ankle! Take it easy; unless it's completely healed you run the risk of spraining it over and over again (from one who knows).
I'm just fine, thanks. Garden is looking really good - roses and dahlias everywhere!

Wish mine did. I'm raising a fine crop of nettles at the moment!
