Were still here in Lawton.

Lisa just put up our bikes on craigslist. maybe it will sell soon. That money is going to come in handy when we start looking for a new place to live. OKC is one place, but were going to kep our options open.

Not really sure. I used to work at a paint store. I will try to get unemployment to retrain me. Maybe a skill i can take anywhere i go.

In the past, i have been a custodian and working in a sound shop (That was ages ago). but i know that everything has changed and my skills there are outdated.

Use the retraining to pick up the skills you need to move forward. The thing that sucks is how many people are looking for work. This has to be an opportunity for positive change that will allow you to try something new.

Dr howard, Dr fine, Dr howard... LOL

So I went ahead and spent the 500 bucks, that included labor of course to do my struts all around, i wound up having to purchase the ones in the rear, i had the ones for the fronts because my dad ordered them for his car and didn't need them...(hey dad you don't need these right? SWIPE!) So they did cut me a break on labor in that area, they did the fronts free since they had the car all torn to hell anyway.

I couldn't get the bearing plates for the back can't find them anywhere so there's a kindof a clunk there... couldn't find the things for the front either so it's better than it was, the shimmy isnt COMPLETELY GONE and here's why. Two Words. BENT. SWAYBAR. How it happened DON'T ask me, I only drive over railroad tracks every day... and the car was sideswiped when i bought it....And then my swaylinks are bent.... how that happened don't ask me. I think **** just bent because the car'd been setting forever with a blown tranny. At LEAST it's not an axle!!!

They heated the swaybar and bent it back straight it was out like an inch, and not it's not banging against my frame. Got a good look at the underside of my car today... NO RUST. Anywhere.
