[QUOTE]I did not even want to come on this thread because I know writing about these things will just make me more upset! But I need to vent: I went to pick up my dress yesterday from the seamstress (it's early because she's going to Portugal for the rest of May, June and July- kindof got pressured into using her by FMIL). Parked my car and the brake felt weird but thought it must be me. I tried to leave and had no brakes. It was pouring and I was in a sketchy part of Hartford-called my Dad he said to try pumping them and drive home. It was terrifying! The brakes kindof worked, as in, I was able to stop when I pushed with all my strength, but whenever I turned I could not control the car. I went to my parents' later for dinner, my Mom yelled at me becasue I was late. I didn't even know there was a set time for dinner, but I was "late" because I was baking her favorite kind of cookies to bring over and trying to fix my phone because it wouldn't send messages (at least the phone is working now). Apparently my parents were going out after dinner so they had reason to be upset I wasn't there earlier, but honestly, how am I supposed to remember they have dance class on Tuesdays? My Dad moved my car out of the driveway, said it wasunsafe for me to have driven it to their house, but then said I could use their car to drive to work today and he'd take mine to the shop. <strong>Soo nice of him, but it's going to cost $1000.</strong> How am I supposed to budget for the wedding with a $1000 expense? WTF! FI and I are paying for a third of it and I don't want it to fall on him to cover part of my contribution. Basically the past two and a half weeks have been miserable because I've barely seen FI. He's been working like 10am-2 am every day, M-F, plus last Saturday. He's a reporter and covering the legislative session. I need him to be around to keep me sane! I was moderately dealing with it, but after yesterday and this car stuff I feel like such a mess. Oh and after I drove home from my parents with their car I tried on the dress, and the top is still a little too big. The seamstress is leaving Saturday for Portugal, and today after work we have meetings and then I'm tutoring until after the shop closes. Plus I'm somehow supposed to get my car from the shop, which also closes at 6. I want to take a personal day tomorrow to deal with this crap but I went to a workshop last week that the principal wanted me to go to and feel like I can't take another day. And making sub plans is so annoying! Ugh.

</div><div> I completely sympathize with you! I took my car in this morning b/c it was making strange sounds... I need to replace the front and back brakes for $1000, too!! I absolutely hate car stuff. And my car is only a year and half old. Grr...

Bmore - You're probably not reading this thread anymore, but I did want to tell you that I heard back from the Four Seasons and they added more rooms to my block. She even said she'd rebook my friend's room with the correct rate herself and she apologized for the inconvenience. So, I'm not mad at them anymore

And I know! I have to email them for updates, which I've done a few times (I'm super annoying, aren't I?).

I witnessed an Operation today..

Not because of the gore..but because I had to breathe all effed up to keep my glasses from fogging up with the stupid face mask on..

I am glad I'm not alone. Well, actually I take that back, I don't want anyone else to have car trouble either!
