This guy? I just looked at his property description and it says "fingersmiley". OOPS!! All this time I thought it was some Godfather-ish guy waving his hand up in the air with a "you wanna piece of this" kinda attitude. THAT's FUNNY!! My apologies to anyone that may have been offended.

I need to by this series and print them for the wall!

Hi RJ, Ola and x and everyone else!!! You guys made me laugh out loud on the smilies, Ola glad there back. RJ loving the dancing smiley... Ola that dog face gives me chills - funny but too real!!!

ok so this morning I woke up extra early because my "boss" was going to leave the office at 8:00 and i wanted the pleasure of telling her face to face not just in a letter. So got there as she was walking out and stop her and said, "I just wanted to say this is my official 2 week notice and a letter to follow".
She came back with a snotty attitude saying "I could see that coming" I said well (staying professional) I will help you with the interview process and training and so your not stuck after I leave and then she said, "I handled it before you got here I will survive after you leave!" I said great have a day and walked into my office smiling.

about an hour later the owners and dog walk in and I know my boss called them immediatly because I got the cold shoulder all day from both the owners, not a single person even said good morning. Except for the dog walking into my office checking things out!
So they were angry all day and I was smiling all day. I had someone in my office at the end of the day talking HR stuff to them, the wife owner walked into my office and pretended she needed something when I turned to her she walked out. I think she wanted to hear what i was telling them. I didn't tell anyone else i was leaving wanted to give them the oppertunity to digest the news first. Tomorrow the fun starts. My boss is back in the office and i'm sure I won't make the 2 week thing thinking they are going to ask me to leave sooner! FINE BY ME!!!!
I'm so excited to get out. Oh and this morning when i first woke up i was dancing around the room singing "i'm going to work today". my hubby was laughing so hard. this was the first time i was happy about going into this place.
Oh and customers came in today and guess what dog attack again! when will they learn?
Thanks guys for listening, more later, pass the popcorn....

Oh and the reason I'm late logging on tonight is my very best friend in the world (next to my freebies) got engaged tonight so we went to see the ring and take champagne to celebrate.
She surprised me by a 4 layer chocolate cake to celebrate with also... that was always our thing, we have know each other 20+ years and through the years when ever something happy or sad we would meet for chocolate layer cake! yes she is as bad as I am!

I'm going to be her matron of honor!!!

going to bed now, really tired and tomorrow night is school night so will catch up in a couple day if not really late tomorrow!

EXCELLENT!! Sounds like you had an awesome day! So your boss is different from the owners? I guess I didn't know that. That dog is out of control! Didn't I just say that the other day too?

I'm thinking you might get a mini vacation as well. In between jobs... if the boss was already expecting you to leave then I doubt you will be kept for two more weeks. That would be nice.

I think the only bad part is that someone is probably going to be greatly injured by that dog. I hope someone goes after those owners.

Hey Miniola, it's a '68. I found it in Asheville, NC... My only advice is keep looking, and it never hurts to ask!! I worked this deal for about a month, then it all fell together.
In regards to your curve incident, you're talking a bunch 'o' lingo foreign to me(whatever those acronyms were you were spitting out)... All my cars require drivers input to make things happen, not a computer! (not that that's bad. ..)
Can't help you with why a locked up brake would cause a misfire code.
