Okay, not sure if this is appropriate or not, but I’m just looking for a fender bender. We’ve got a few inches of snow and I’m just wanting someone to tag me in the backend. See, here’s the deal. I’m currently in a leased vehicle (which I highly don’t recommend). Problem #1, we’re already over on mileage and have about 7 more months to go. Problem #2, my wife tried to back out of the garage before the garage door was all the way up and there’s nice dent and paint damage on the back roof and hatch door. Problem #3, a guy backed into me in the Taco Ball drive-thru, well, come to find out every bit of information I got from him, from phone #, to address, to insurance was invalid.

Now any of you who are in a lease know anything more than “normal-wear-and-tear” is going to cost a chunk of change to fix if you let them fix it. And mileage is charged at $0.15/mile over. So here’s my wish, someday when I’m in the car by myself, I want someone to slam into me from behind, hopefully at that point I’ll be prepared for it and be able to direct my out of control forward movement into a post or something. BAM! Both damages covered by the repairs for this wreck. PLUS! the car will be out of service for a few weeks not collecting mileage. PERFECT IDEA RIGHT? NO?

Okay, let me know. Anyone else willing to go to this length in my situation?

Well, it’s been a lovely day in my household. Been fighting the stomach flu that last couple of nights with both kids. This morning, my wife and I both joined the fun. It may have been a blessing in disguise though, have gotten quite a bit of computer work done today. It’s nice that my “office” is in the bedroom which is only a couple of steps from the bathroom.

I was IM’d out of the blue this evening by someone wanting an unbiased opinion to a problem they were working through in their church. I’m not going to go into detail about that, but discovered that in another church he had worshipped in there was another problem he got thrown into the middle of the fray. Seems there were people in the church that had a problem with their being African-American kids in the church!!! SAY WHAT! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but it’s just irritating to be blatantly confronted with less than Christ-like attitudes and beliefs in the church. Guess the church got rid of the previous four pastors that were open to ministering to ALL the world and yearning to save ANY lost soul, not just the white ones.
