Hey War, the grocery stores I go to all say they have security cameras stationed around the parking lot. I'd give them a call and see if they had a camera in the area you were parked. I'd hurry up and call though, cause who knows how long they keep tapes on file before recording over them. Wouldn't it be splendid if they could catch the person who did it on tape?

Pamy--I had what I thought was a pretty deep scratch on my new black car, and I took it to the car wash and talked to the detail guy, and they buffed it out. Can't even tell. I would definitely try it!!

LOL, Pamy, now that's kinda funny! The first thing Darren did when he saw it was grab the kids scooters and bikes. He went out and checked each of them against it (the handlebars on all four were too short/tall to cause the damage.) Those scratches should buff out nicely though. Little adopted sis had a problem last year with her new car. Three seperate times while taking her mom to chemo they'd come out and find key marks down both sides of her car from front bumper to rear. They had them buffed out and you never could tell afterwards the scratches had even been there. The way I understand the insurance is that we have a $500 deductible and if the repairs don't cost that much we end up paying it. I'm not even sure I want to claim something like a minor dent (ok to me it looks like this huge problem but objectively speaking it's really not that big) on my insurance. Doesn't stuff like that raise your insurance rates? Other than the fact that it just makes me mad everytime I hop in the car to see that dent, I keep looking at it thinking we have got to get it repaired cuz it's a rust spot waiting to happen.

Yes, any claim on your insurance will raise your rates, I've had insurance people say not to file a claim unless it's significantly higher than your deductible. Also, auto insurance deductibles do not work the way medical deductibles do. Medical deductibles are once per calendar year, but auto insurance deductibles are per incident. So if you have a $500 deductible and have 3 accidents in a year, you'll be out $1500.

Raising my rates is not something I want to do, lol! Neither one of us have ever had an accident or made any kind of claim, heck the only ticket I've had was a parking ticket cuz I parked the car to walk my 5 year old to class on street sweeping day (the whole neighborhood around the school has the same day for street sweeping so there's really no choice.)

It is very, very wise NOT to file a car insurance claim unless it is totally necessary. You are penalized up the wazoo for minor claims.

Lol, Texannie! My dds all appreciated everything I had done for them all their lives when they were out on their own and had to do it all for themselves! DH doesn't complain and frequently offers to help (now that the kids are all grown and gone, go figure), but man oh man does he look for the high praise for each little thing he does. Most of the time, it's humorous to me. Of course, I do have a weird sense of humor.

He has now done all of HIS laundry. Had to totally weed my stuff completely out to get to him. AND he thinks he is helping!!! A bigger help to me would be to do ONLY MY laundry!!!!!!

Holy shit, that would whiz me off Tex. Maybe he figures you like your laundry done just so and he'd better not try washing it himself? Who cares, he could have discussed it with you.

LOL Annie, you got my blood boiling over here! I adore my husband and when I was working he did as much cleaning, cooking and child rearing as I did. Once I quit work things changed (other than the fact that he still does most the cooking,) but I was fine with that since I was home. Ever so often though I need a bit of help. Few weeks ago, I found a box of plates in the garage his mom had sent over when she moved last year. It's a matching set for 8 of plates, saucers, and I dunno, smaller saucers I call them. Same day I had him bring them into the kitchen so I could wash them, he brought home a bunch of new plastic bowls and cups that also had to be washed. I'm in the kitchen with all these new dishes to wash and it's a few minutes til dinner time. I asked him to run to the store to grab some garlic bread, which he did, while I started washing. At the same time I throw on the spaghetti sauce and started to boil water for the noodles. He comes home, tosses the box on the counter while I'm up to my elbows in hot soapy water and the sauce is boiling. I really paid no attention to him other than he was in the kitchen for a few minutes. Anyways, I get the last of the dishes washed, serve up plates of spaghetti and turn to see the box of frozen garlic bread sitting on the counter. I am so not proud of it but I completely lost my temper. You see me standing there busy, didn't even bother to turn the stove on. You can't turn the stove on and toss the bread in the oven? You know what he said? "You didn't ask." At that moment, I could have whacked him upside his fool head with a skillet I was so mad, LOL.

LOL War!! Mine gets a big gulp everyday on his way home from work. He comes in the back door, WALKS RIGHT PAST THE TRASH CAN and puts the almost empty cup on the kitchen counter......for 22 years!!!!! still boggles my mind! LOL He will go to the grocery store for me and then comes in and puts all the bags just on the counter kind of like how a cat brings you that dead lizard for you to admire! Part of the problem is I have not worked outside of the home for almost our whole married life. (yes, even before kids). He's never really had to 'pitch in'. but he did do the kids laundry too yesterday. Men!! Can't live with them......can't kick 'em to the curb! LOL

LOL Annie, that's why I can't complain too much, cuz when I worked he really did do his full share and sometimes more just because he was home in the morning and afternoon and could get some things done I wouldn't have had a chance to during the late afternoon. Most of the time I just have to giggle about it cuz I honestly think we just see things differently. I feel a little sigh of frustration escape me everyday when he comes home and sets his lunchbox on the table instead of walking five feet to set it on the kitchen counter. I've got it pretty good cuz he does help out some, more than some husbands I know do, but ever so often I want to whack him upside the head with something, LOL.

Early on we sort of established our chores by default..I hate cooking, he likes it, I had more clothes, he'd run out, so he'd end up doing a load our two, mostly just his stuff. The outside work fell square on my shoulders, not because I love it, just because. Well, the day he decided he didn't like cooking and accused me of not carrying my "share", I simply said, "do we, or don't we need mixed gas for the hedge trimmer?" He hadn't a clue, has never trimmed the hedge...took the wind out of those sails fast. If ya want to compromise on something, I'm open to it...but you don't get to blame and accuse and expect me to hop to it.

Is it just the job that makes you want to cry? or just life in general?
