Okay, well the mechanic came and went. I actually remember him from going up there so many times to. It has been some time and many customers for him though so obviously he wouldn’t remember me. Either way it did not take him long to tell me the fuel pumps gone.

I did a quick search online and that is $200.00 + just for the parts. This gets worse and worse. He’s gonna look up some prices and get back with me because he wanted to know if I wanted a GM part with warranty or the after market part and I said whatevers the cheapest obviously that will get me going. But with his discount the GM part might be the price of the after market version but with a warranty which would be stupid not to get. Then I still have to pay for the labor and get the effin car towed to McElveen now as well as losing 3/4 tank of gas because he has to drain it put in a new one, damnit it all to hell.

Unfortunately, I could not get the Dirt Devil Holiday Gift Guide to open properly due to some errors but I really did not need it. At the time I had bought my current upright vacuum I thought it had been in the higher end of quality but it is on its way out now. I could not even tell you how old it is at this point but it does not work right unless you have the hose attached to it using the extra features. Obviously with 2 dogs and the fir they shed, this will not work for me. Because of the holiday Dirt Devil has slashed their prices with online specials of up to 40% off. It is a shame we can’t do online layaway.

My next vacuum is going to be a Dirt Devil bagless. I look forward to not having to dump half of the dirt out of the bags from them being so hard to take out. Dirt Devil has a section just for the pet owners. The hand vacs for the car would be good for the guys. Ladies, that may be the incentive for them to clean your cars out too. Once the holiday gift guide is up though it will offer information on free shipping as well as over 300 ways to save with online shipping.

So I get home from work today and go to talk with my neighbor as she knows a mechanic too. One who happens to actually work at the dealership I bought the car from to begin with. What are the odds people? He might even remember working on mine as it has had a slew of warranty work on it lol. Of course I only did this because the other guy didn’t call me back and I need my car fixed.

So here I sit waiting for him to get off of work and come over in the dark to check out the car. I know, doesn’t make any sense to me either but if he can listen to it he could better pin point what is wrong with it than me. After talking with my boss this morning he mentioned the timing belt which made sense because I have had one break before in another vehicle and it is doing the exact same thing so I popped the hood when I got home but the belt was on properly. And that is if the one I was looking at was the timing belt lol We’ll know soon enough I guess eh?

So recently I have been getting into this whole twitter thing mainly to keep up with some local news as well as some other news that I find interesting. But as things go wrong I like to make quick snippets and sometimes show pictures of things I’m doing around town. Now granted I haven’t gotten to be famous like all the celebrities but I’m having fun. Heck, I wouldn’t even consider myself popular enough to be a local celebrity either.

As with every other known way to possibly get people behind a movement, charity, contests, etc, you can even make money by tweeting. Now when I went to sign up for sponsored tweets and was filling in my information I noticed that I am going to have to work on getting more followers because I won’t even be visible in the directory without having at least 200 followers as well as being online for at least 4 months which I have not achieved either. I’m behind the times, I know, but in my defense I actually had the gumption to think that it was asinine just like facebook and myspace. Either way, it was easy to sign up and search the directory. I liked the celebrity list, they even had them separated into tv star, rock star, author, etc.

If you are a power tweeter, better sign up so you can have the opportunity to be listed so others might sponsor your tweets and earn some money in the process.
