I hope the adjuster gives you a fair deal and you can get some fancy new wheels soon. Maybe something like this. Thanks Jordan, that's my kinda car for sure xoxo
March 2, 20197 yr Jillar I'm glad you're ok - well not ok but ok. Hope you get back on the road soon. Now is definitely the time to treat yourself to a little massage or some retail therapy X x x
March 2, 20197 yr Thanks @Whispers, I'm feeling less sore today. Thank goodness I had that big old Acadia. I really think that's why I wasn't dinged up worse! @Lilly, that's a great idea but I have no way to get to either lol. Holding off on getting a rental car to see if insurance is going to fix or total my car. If it gets totaled than we'll just be buying a new car next week ? Hopefully they won't total it though!!!
March 7, 20197 yr Got the call while I was busy sopping up water from under the sink because our disposal bottom rusted out. Insurance totaled my car ? The guy was super sympathetic and hated that he had to do that on a car that was still pretty much brand new. But because it was 12 years old and the extent of damage he had no choice ??? The only good out of this is that he did give me the highest amount possible because of it. It still smelled like a new car, I'm so sad.....
March 7, 20197 yr Done the flooded house and the totaled car, but never at the same time. That sucks...my sympathies and I hope it turns out to be not too bad in the end. So sorry about your car!!!
March 7, 20197 yr That sucks Jillar but I'm not surprised. Insurers tend to jump pretty quickly to the "write-off" option.
March 7, 20197 yr It does not take much to total a car anymore. I see more cars on the road with duct tape because people can't afford to fix them. I hope you find a nice new car to replace it with. There is nothing like that new car smell. Your luck has to change now.
March 7, 20197 yr Ok...so I always wanted to know, cos we don't have em here an ya see em on US shows....but where the fruck does the stuff go that ya put in the disposal? After its mushed??
March 7, 20197 yr Gosh I sure hope my luck changes. DH and I are still arguing about it, he can't get it through his head that there was nothing I could do to avoid her t boning me ?

We are grateful you are okay. Husband's and their priorities?
March 7, 20197 yr For real? On both counts... 1. Does hubby think you parked in the middle of the road and waited for her to hit you??? Frickin dumb arse men. 2. So does the disposal fully liquify it? How are your drains (sewers?) not clogged up with solid matter?
March 7, 20197 yr If your truck took a good shot its better off in the long run as the truck wont drive the same..

So does the disposal fully liquify it? How are your drains (sewers?) not clogged up with solid matter? It grinds it up, and then it goes down the sewer to the water filtration plant, which treats and filters the water before it goes back into Lake Erie. When I was younger, the lake was really polluted. My parents said we would be swimming with cigar fish. They have cleaned it up now.
March 7, 20197 yr No jo the disposal doesn't liquify it. It just acts as a shredder for larger pieces of food that go down the drain. My plumber friends say never to put food down the disposal so we don't but sometimes little pieces drop down and we can turn the disposal on and it crunches it up into tiny pieces Edited March 7, 20197 yr by jillar
March 7, 20197 yr We just get a sink... And the old shit going down our drains is anything you flush (which should just be paper an shit...and hair if it doesn't get caught in the grill things... Do you guys have compost heaps?
March 7, 20197 yr I should say that disposals are only installed on kitchen sinks. All our other plumbing is like yours probably. And yes lots of people have compost piled here. I don't but I don't have a garden which is what people use them for
March 7, 20197 yr Our dunnies are different too I think. Ours only have a tiny bit of water in the bottom, the water doesn't go round the wrong way and they all have to have a half flush button, it's the law now.

I think we need pictures Jo. We bought one of those super flushers with little water and I hated it. We finally replaced it because it always left streaks! What is the idea of the half flush? Hey, we could do a poll on the courtesy flush question.
March 7, 20197 yr We have that toilet. Linda half flush is for number 1 and full flush for number 2 lol. Edited March 7, 20197 yr by Lilly
March 7, 20197 yr G,day Still go to visit friends who live in the bush that have a “long drop” in the back yard. A big hole in the ground with a little out house on the top. Of Cause they have a flushing toilet in the house but it uses a good percentage of thier water a day if they let it. The flushing one in the house has a little sign just to remind you to save water. If it’s yellow let it mellow If it’s brown flush it down C
March 7, 20197 yr @jillar nooo! And @husband, nooo! One question though, whats your secret with the smell, after 12 years?
