Great Pics, Ross...your little girl looks to have as much hair as most of mine did....how-ever...our latest one (Audrey) was born with more hair than I EVER had...lol...in this pic she is 4 months old... and as a contrast, this is a pic of my brothers first granddaughter (Loveda), born just a couple months ago...well..she has more than I remember, but still not anywhere near as thick as Audrey...lol

missed this... Welcome back Mike.. I see you were logged in this morning (12/27) so i assume you are still moving forward....well done! I found it did help my quit by being involved in the conversations around here, but we all approach our quits different, so whatever works for you, just keep on doing it! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and anything else you may be celebrating , and at this time next year we can add a 1 year celebration to the list of parties to attend.. :)

Sorry I'm late.. (As usual)... But.. CONGRATS!! The first year really gives you a sense of accomplishment...and gets you prepared for the second one!. Way to go Evelyn!

I am leaning towards the F-150... I would most likely go for the extended cab.... Your right that I don't really need a lot of (large) tools, so most of what I take with me on a regular basis would fit in the "back seat" and any time I need to drag along the larger stuff, it can go in the bed....before the Jeep got wrecked, I was already pretty serious about a new (to me) truck....but the prices!...there is a huge price gap...anything less than $15,000 has had the wheels run off it already...usually 150,000+ miles...jump up to something with good miles, and you start going well north of $20 to $25,000..... Decisions .... Decisions....

Merry Christmas everyone.....

Thanks everyone. It could not have happened at a worse time.... Also the other guys insurance adjuster is being a total pain in the @ss.... It's been 3 days, and I have only heard from them once, and that was after I initiated he contact.... I can't even get them to authorize a rental.... But...that's what dealing with insurance is..... It works similar... How-ever, if I want to keep the jeep and do the repairs myself, AND NOT end up with a salvage title, the settlement I'll receive will be considerable less, which would then involve too much out of pocket money to make good sense.... Another Jeep is a possibility... A Mustang would be great, but too impractical for a daily drive (all year) in Ohio...I am leaning ta wards a work van for now. Since I retired from my real job, I have gone back to my old business on a much scaled back schedule, and a van would be more practical now.(I am an electrician).... I don't know though....there is no hurry, so I think it will wait until after the new year to decide......

First, I want to say, that there were no injuries.... Everyone is fine... A guy runs a red light and I attempt to avoid him, but clipped the rear quarter panel of his car....not a lot of damage, but since my Jeep is old (1997) , the insurance company is going to total it... Which kinda pisses me off, because we bought it new in the fall of '96 and my wife drove it almost 10 years before we replaced it....it is/was the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. After the wife got her new car, my daughter used the jeep as transportation while she was in college.After she graduated and got her "big girl job" I re-acquired the Jeep andhavebeen driving it as a DD ever since... Since we bought it new, I am fully aware of how it was taken care of...it ran perfect, with no issues on the body...paint was shiney with no rust and the interior was perfect.....but...it IS over 15 years old with 225000 miles on it, so the insurance company doesn't want to give me much for it.....so...I guess I am going to be car shopping in the ear future..... My youngest daughter says that maybe it was a good thing, otherwise I might not have EVER got rid of the old Jeep..( the girls nicknamed it "Tank")... She may be right, but I liked that old Jeep....lol...
