Death Trap

My car was a rolling death trap.

I knew the front brakes were probably due.

What I didn't know...

The rear brakes were toast too.
It needed new brake fluid.
The front struts were shot.
This also needed a new link kit.
The rear strust were shot.
Again, rear link kit.
The timing belt....oi.
The battery was gone.
New wipers, new air filter, ka-ching, inspection costs, ka-ching ka-ching!

Wowza.

WRT to your soother/drink question for Chance, if you don't nip it in the but now, he will keep doing it. Maybe it is time to take away his soother cold turkey?? When he wakes up, just let him cry, he can't be hungry as this is a game now for him to see how many times mom/dad comes in to see him. i read somewhere that when you go in, don't even talk to him as that is what he wants. If you don't want to take away his soother yet, get one of those pacifier clips, we use it for Payton at night and she does fine with it.
