After trying a new kidney, lung, and and triple bipass heart surgery, it’s now official.  My soon-t0-be-ex Volvo is in dire need of a engine valve replacement. As of noon yesterday EST, I had to pull the plug BEFORE I could get it in to a dealer trade-in lot.  Consider it DOuA a/k/a Dead on UnArrival. 

 A moment of silence, please, as I mop up my tears and lay hands on my half-full wallet. 

God grant me the serenity to accept the things, I can not change; the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.  Amen. 

Back to the earthly realm, shouldn’t I be able to sell my 1999 Volvo for parts and get enuf $$$$ to buy a used car and still not have a car note?  I got a kick out of not having a car note; which is why I didn’t go for the now extinct Cash For Clunkers program.  Anybody got a clue as to what a sistah can do? Keep in mind I’m recently laid off.  Say what?  That’s a big fat “yepper.”
