So the hub and I went out looking for cars today. We drove to Glendale row where all the dealerships display their shiny new cars. It must have been a hard year cause we discovered that the GM lot we went to was closed and so was the Chrystler/Jeep lot. Both replaced by used car lots. Then we went to the Chevy Dealership and all they had were a lot full of $40,000 Camero's and $30,000 Traverse's and oh yeah a ton of SUV's that get 12 miles to the gallon. I was really disappointed. The Chevy website advertises a ton of cars from the $10K spectrum to the $90K spectrum and I only saw three cars on this lot. Ummm how yah suppose to sell cars?? We were very disappointed we couldn't even look at the cars we were interested in. I also forgot how annoying car salesmen can be. I absolutely hate it when you go in a store and a salesperson buzzes around you. So imagine my disgust when car salesmen started to approach us. The hub decided to take a reverse approach "buyer approach" with the salesmen and tried to be the salesman to the salesman. He did a pretty impressive job with the Toyota salesman who wins the award for wearing his pajamas to work. I seriously couldn't even think about buying a car from"Dwayne" with his big purple striped ballooned pants and even bigger tie. Perhaps he was a clown in his last job or sold mattresses. Cause that was Dwayne a cross between a mattress salesman and a clown. Even at Toyota we were disappointed we couldn't test drive the #3 Prius Model. They only had one #2 and plenty of #4's. The 4's of course were like $33-$40K ea. Haven't these car places heard there is a bad economy out there? I am not paying $30-40 thousand dollars for a friggin car. And I am not buying a super expensive 12 mile per gallon SUV. Hey Stupids why don't you stock the cars you advertise on your websites? It's a novel idea. Anyhoo, after a wasted hour and a half in the blistering sun trying to ward off stupid pajama wearing Dwayne and his greasy smile we went to get some Thrifty ice cream and came home. I was super tired from all my cleaning and landscaping earlier in the day so I stayed home and took a nice two hour nap while the hub went out once more to a new area to search for a car. He isn't home yet. I told him to call me if he even thinks about signing papers for a new car. I have to protect him from stupid Volkswagen Salesmen! hehehe
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
