Rn, Just..yes pics are a must for stuff in storage, we have some but not of all. They dont know cause of fire, they think vandals were trying to break in with blow torch type thing on the lock and possibly caused fire and then maybe stuff inside units exploded.

Rn Pamy, shit that just sucks. Plain and simple. So glad no one was hurt, but if they catch the people who did it, I hope they throw the book at 'em. Bummer all around. BTW- not sure if she has chimed in yet, but it was Ginger that had the apartment fire a few years back, no? She might have some suggestions for recouping losses and how to list items/values... maybe??

RN: Hermi, get a second opinion and start pricing around different auto shops. Do you have a friend who could fix it for you if you bought the clutch? I wish I could send you out my DH, he is a mechanic as are both our neighbors on either side of us.

RN: Hermi, definitely second opinion. And find out what your car is worth. It may be time to do a Vacanick and get a new car! :-)

RN: Here I am...dd has an absyss (sp?)...she is in a bit of pain and is very swollen. It's so deep that they couldn't see it until they did the panoramic x-ray. She is taking penicillian and will have the procedure tomorrow afternoon.

Right now ... oh poor dd Scoot. My son has had the panoramic x-ray, no big deal. They probably want a closer look at which teeth the abscess is affecting. I'm sorry she's in pain.

Right now, I did check around. So far, I have gotten one quote that is around $1200 for labor and parts, one that is around $1500 - $1700 for labor and parts, and another that is around $2,000 for labor and parts. You gotta wonder why the discrepancy....

Scoot, so sorry about your daughter. Not fun! Give her a hug!

RN Hermi, I just checked this site and found out that if I needed a clutch for my car (well, they don't carry them for mine because it's too new), but for a couple of year old car of the same make and model as mine, the entire clutch kit would be about $270.00. I think you should check Craigslist or find out from friends who is a reliable back-yard mechanic. Using your lowest estimate of $1200.00, less the cost of a clutch kit (my car's model), and using an average of $80.00/hour that mechanics can command...they're saying basically that it will take 11 hours to replace your clutch. Uh, I don't think so. Don't let them take advantage of you!

I found all kinds of car repair sites and people were saying about $500.00, and it should take around 4 hours to complete.

Labor rates are going to vary from region to region. What may be $80 in one area could be $120 in another. Hermi's quotes should include the hourly rate, and she'll be able to average her region's labor rates that way.

Also, if she's received three estimates that are all within the same general price ($1500 average), I'd say she's got a pretty good idea of what it'll cost for an auto repair shop to replace her clutch.

RN, it was just announced that the 2011 Super Bowl will be right here in Dallas. Well, actually, it will be in Arlington, but that's a spit away between Dallas and Ft. Worth.

RN, wouldn't that be fun to go to a Super Bowl? My favorite sister lives in Ft.Worth, so chances are...who am I kidding, the price to go to a Super Bowl is more than I would want to pay.

Right now, thanks everyone! I think I got a good deal with the place I am going to use. No new car just yet. I'm hoping this one lasts at least 4 more years and I am hoping Hybrids become less expensive.

RN, you may be glad it's a spit away NT. When we've had Super Bowls here, the entire city is a zoo. And it's not like we don't have enough tourist types here anyways!

And RN, wondering exactly how many miles a "spit away" is??? :-)

RN, That's why they call it "work" and not "play". :-)

(((Eris)))

P.S. I don't mean to be smart. I had an extremely draining day at work today, also.
