So...the dealer accepted my offer!!!

Now onto the financing portion. Fun fun...

In other news, it looks like my mom is also getting a new car. She's getting a Buick Enclave. She took hers in, and it's got over $3,000 worth of repairs. They're looking at trading it in and getting one of the leftover 2017 models.

My mom has it right now in our garage.

It's been a big week for us in the car world.

I am guessing there are high traffic counts on that road at rush hour in both directions. Starbucks isn't stupid when it comes to placing their stores.

There's a location in the city where I work, that there is a Dunks on one side of the street, and exactly on the opposite side of the street, is a Starbucks! (I've been known to buy a donut at Dunks and go across the street to Starbucks for coffee!) :joyfull:

Currently 66 here and gloomy. We may hit 75 tomorrow.

64 isn't cold compare to Yesterday where I live. It was 59 degrees outside as a high and raining. Door County was much warmer at the time I left it with it being in the mid to high 60s.

I LOVE those temperatures--nice and cool. Wish summer was always like that! :happy:

Hey everyone, I know it's been a long time, although I swear I thought I had posted earlier this year, but apparently it's been since November?!?! And I can't remember if I actually posted an update like I said I would, so hopefully I'm not repeating myself. The bad news is I AM STILL NOT DIVORCED!!! The good news is since August 2017 I have had 50/50 custody of our daughter and an alternating week schedule, so I now get free time every other weekend (only took 2 years and 2 months :rolleyes:). We were just in court the last week of May to clarify our custody stipulation and the judge basically told my ex that when it's my custody time, he can't dictate who takes care of our daughter, and the judge would not penalize a working parent for utilizing child care. Not that I use child care, but my mom helps out a couple afternoons during my custodial weeks, which my ex tried to tell the judge should not be happening. He even told the judge that he believes that only him and myself should be the ones to care for her! The judge was like, um no, that is not how she's going to rule. Him and his inept lawyer kept trying to argue over and over, but the judge stood firm in her decision. And while it was a huge relief to hear the judge say everything I hoped she would say, I knew that it would not change my ex's negative behavior toward me. We are supposed to see a co-parenting counselor, but my ex thinks the judge ordered classes, which are useless. We need someone who will hold him accountable for acting like a jerk. So we may need to go back to court if my ex doesn't agree to counseling. Although we aren't even sure if he plans to represent himself now, which just further demonstrates his craziness. The only thing left to settle is spousal/child support, which should be easy, but as I've already witnessed, nothing about this divorce has been easy. My lawyer and I think the reason why my ex is dragging out the divorce now is because he needs surgery to replace both his knees and a hip (since he is still on my insurance). :facepalm: But my ex has other beliefs, which he posted online, although I was able to have his Yelp and Avvo reviews removed, woohoo! However, Google is still up, and y'all can see some of the craziness I have been dealing with for over 3 years now (and longer, if you include our marriage): https://goo.gl/maps/uZabKECbQEn. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know I'm doing OK and I hope you all are doing well, too. Oh, and I'm also still seeing the same guy, it's been over 2 years and going really well. :cat:

Good to hear from our other resident crazy cat lady. So sorry you're not divorced from Mr. Donkey yet.

Same old here.

Catmom46!! Welcome back here! Gosh it's been a long time since you stopped by. Glad to hear from you, but sorry about the ongoing saga. Hang in there.

(P.S.: Happy to hear you're still going out with the same guy for 2 years now--you need someone nice in your life.) Oh, by the way, how are the dogs? My dog is doing just fine--he's close to 9 years old now, and just as crazy and rambunctious as ever!

Thank you! I'm hanging as best I can, and hopefully at least closer to finalizing.

I have 3 cats, my ex took the 2 dogs, although one died last year. :( I'm glad to hear yours is doing well, though! I know you always have funny stories about him. :joyfull:

Oh sorry about one of the dogs passing away. Glad the cats are doing well, though. (I think you should get another dog--to keep the cats and you company, of course! :) )

Well, yeah, except she already had a Buick, so they're trading in a Buick for a Buick.

What he's getting is the oldest car in the house.:hilarious:

The financing portion is still making me nervous. I filled out the application., and the dealer will call me tomorrow.

If all else fails, I can buy the car outright, but I really don't want to do that...
