I need a warm shoulder

I'm finally feeling better and recovering from bronchial pneumonia so I
decided that I would give my car a break and go to the market for a few
small items. Well, guess what--I have the deadest battery in this town and
it's too late to get a new one today, and I have a prior appointment for
tomorrow so I can't take care of it and guess what I'll be doing on Monday.

Boo Hoo !!

to say about I need a warm shoulder:

Lucille,

That really bites! I'm so sorry! I know how much pneumonia takes out of you,
and how hard it probably was for you to get the energy for the trip out.

Mechanical beings can be so evil!

Oh, bless your heart. I have had pneumonia myself. Now here's your little
lectu please take extra-good care of yourself. I had the hardest time
understanding that pneumonia takes a long time to recover from. It was
two years before I stopped getting bronchitis again and again. So stay
inside and work on your health.

Damn cars, mostly designed by men who love to fiddle with them. Wish
we had more (I know there are a few) females designing cars building
in reliability and long lasting parts!

How is it you buy a new car and by three years later you generally
have to buy a new muffler. Now when you get the new muffler put on,
it comes with a life of the car guarantee! Why not at the outset of
the car's life?

Could a friend give you a jump start, then you could drive around for
a little while ?

Hugs anyway

Sometimes, the battery will just stop holding a charge. Get the alternator
checked too if you can!
Cheryl

I called AAA and they did give me a jump start. My friend took the car for
a ride around the block and then we let it run for another 35 minutes but
guess what? The battery is so very dead that when I tried to turn it over a
half hour later it was dead again.

I'm going to wait for Monday morning, call triple A again to start me up,
and drive it directly to the mechanic. Then I'll probably go out and have a
bagel and coffee in the shop that I can walk to. then again maybe I should
go to the local bar and have an Irish Whiskey??

Thanks everyone for your good thoughts. It really does help to know people
care. Of course it's also a good reminder that these things don't only
happen to you and you shouldn't feel so sorry for yourself LOL

Just to make sure you see this - get your alternator checked too! It could
be that the battery isn't recharging!
