Finally the payment came through and I will probably go hunting for a car for the next few days. I will have to change the license plates over to the next one. And the camera is still being decided upon so I don't have a high expectation there. The old camera shall do for now. Speaking of acceptance. I do have a quote of my own along with several others that is founded within some of the writings that I have done over the years. Ironically someone took it the wrong way and thought I was an alcoholic. I am not sure about you but I gave up drinking almost all together some time ago not that it was a problem I was just at a point within my life that I made a choice with health. So I went the route of training as a vice. I literally don't drink - I will have the odd social drink when with a friend but I have seen all to many that have ended up sitting on a couch at a certain age with a pot belly watching television and how they came to grow so old by the time they were well into there early 30's. At that time I made a choice. Mind you to each their own. My choice at a certain time was to keep on with the foundation of training for good health. I guess that may be something to consider with all of recent but it's all a matter of mind and body. As well, within the soul. So tomorrow is another day to be honest with you it feels like a Friday here. Yet it's only Wednesday eve. I shall head out and go car looking - Again. And all things are working out as planned. I am not doing a cover my behind. I wrote in my previous blog what I wished to write. It certainly is not anti anything it was more thinking with regards to what can happen to enrich a government. That all said it's been another day. Rather busy while at the same time having that free time interlinking with these areas that I do need to get finished. We do live within a very global world now.
More so now I find.

Congratulations on your windfall, although I don't know the details. But having money always seems to beat the alternative.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I hope you're not considering a Toyota. (You've probably heard about the recall.)
Happy for you Jack....It's been a long day and the weekend is so close but yet so far.....(smile)
ReplyDeleteI had a car accident on the 18th....so I got paid out and am now working things out. Yes I have looked at the recall and I am not going to buy a band new car
ReplyDeletebut something that is reliable.
Lucky you, free time is precious, enjoy while you have some. Yeap, drinking has such bad effects not only on the drinker but on others around them, so the less is the best. Funny, I see your posts coming up as I write. Hi there! Keep on the training... certainly a healtier choice!
ReplyDeleteYeah I know literally it's been a day...I am tending to things so much and it really does feel like a Friday. But the insurance now is done
ReplyDeleteand it's all good.
Danielle I am not one to sit idle as much as this. I started my own walking this morning and then I had the discussions with the adjuster and then went to the nearby company and went and got the cheque so this is good. I will be back in the gym but not within a week or two. But Monday I start my physical therapy and that will be swell :)
ReplyDeleteI never took to drinking when cancer entered my family as you know. I embarked on cross training coupled with Aikido.
..Enjoy your new Car jack:)..goodnight here now:)
ReplyDeleteShall but I am going to take my time and hopefully by Friday I am driving again. Thanks there and say Ireland Caroline.
ReplyDeleteKeep going. What matters is the present and the future that will constitute what ever wronged in the past ... :)
ReplyDeleteVery true Maritess..
ReplyDeletehugs tight :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a car you enjoy and a camera you love...good luck!
ReplyDeletebest of luck finding a car!
ReplyDeleteYeah....what a winter to say the least. And never in the largest stretches of my imagination did I think I would have to get another but that is life.
ReplyDeleteThe camera I am not sure is covered but for now that is fine with me - thanks Danette.
Thanks Arielle...right now there is someone on here that knows me and is laughing as she probably thinks I am a man in a bubble :)
ReplyDeleteLOL as seinfeld visions of bubble boy comes to mind!
ReplyDeleteROLF! :)
ReplyDeletehmmm ... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd peaceful friendship hugs back at ya Maritess.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Ah feels like tomorrow is friday to me 2. Enjoy your eve xx
ReplyDeleteYou as well Cinn...I walked for an hour today!
ReplyDeleteso now you use the lens ----your eyes amigo---and then you print with words----si?----a photograph is seen through the eyes of the artist and simply reproduced through the camera------just as easily shown with words and feelings ----
ReplyDeleteI'll drink to that -
ReplyDeleteHave fun finding that new car. With any luck you may get a new camera, but insurance companies can be a bit fussy over things like that.
ReplyDeleteI recently asked a question, & now it's answered! (Insurance.)
ReplyDeleteIf the camera was damaged due to the accident...they should be able to determine that...then they must pay, but only the depreciated value.
Someone totaled my beautiful little Dodge turbo, only two years old with little mileage on it, & the guy's ins. wanted to give me an old poky thing. Legally the one at fault should have paid for the rental car, but my ins. company paid & it when it ran out, I was very impulsive. I bought the first car I looked at! A four door with a trunk too small for my paintings. AAA did virtually nothing to help me.
That's blood under the bridge now, & I call it The Great Green Toad.
Good luck with finding exactly what you want. It's a good idea to have it totally tested before you buy it.
As for drinking, moderation is the operative word. Alcoholics can't have just one; they don't stop. I "had" a friend who injured me severely. She pretended to be drinking tea from a tea cup, but had a bottle of brandy in her purse in the kitchen. She was stumbling around, weaving toward a glass case where I keep my Spanish galleon, & I automatically reached out to keep her from splitting her head on the corner of the glass. She flung me on the floor. My ribs were fractured, contusions & bad sprains. I had to go to the ER. I know alcoholism is a disease, but it doesn't hurt any less. She'd had three DUIs & drove without a license.The last time I spoke with her on the phone, I told her she's a danger to herself & others. She doesn't care.
You're lucky you weren't killed! Do you know what happened to the "kid"...is he in jail, or what?
Yes I shall be going "shopping" today for a car in the afternoon. As far as the camera I have been humbled < sigh > .....
ReplyDeleteLuci, we did discuss this yesterday and because they never had it when they took it in it seems that they will not pay for one. Ironically if the camera was within the car after the accident as it was towed away and I was taken away by ambulance back then - if it was within the car when they towed it to there inspection site I would have it paid for unfortunately I it's not the case. But so be it. Here we have this system called "no fault insurance". So I could go after the one that hit me to put it mildly. However I opt not too as I really would rather just be on with things than get things all held up in a court process - which would be within small claims court. Smiling as I don't wish to be impulsive but I didn't realize how much I would need a car as I thought this would be staycation if you will. But Taxi's are really expensive to say the least. So today I might buy a car or I may not. It's maybe just time to browse around. I am just moving from one side under the bridge to the other....hopefully I shall be on land within short order. Jaja.
ReplyDeleteRegarding drinking with this kid whom was around 23yrs of age.....never drink and drive. He had his licence completely suspended I am not sure what the law is when carrying open liquor here, but you do have your licence automatically taken away for at least six month to two years. Some people do think they can get away with things - its within their nature but you are right I was lucky as this was a serious roll over into the ditch off the highway and it definitely could have been really bad. I don't think about it much nor do I remember most of it. Ironically I had someone hit my other car within a neighbourhood setting that was in November and well if it was summer maybe a bike would do fine! No he is not in jail, he lost his licence and probably for a year as well as a major fine in addition to some other penalties by way of the insurance company and as well the city police here.
So it's shall be a fun day this afternoon and we shall see what happens :)
Having a morning java here :)
ReplyDeleteif there is one person I don't know yet I have known since years ago by way of blogging it's you. Literally you are something in the manner that you write. With a nickname of "Iamnothing", you are something. I am grinning here as you seem to have that certain perspective - and the answer is always yes to the wise one. Mind you lets see where this goes as I have really gotten into photography....yet words are really the main essence within the thoughts of a person.
ReplyDeletehappy hunting, and your blog is your space.write what you want. I get feedback at times ( a lot of times) that does not agree with me. I like that, it means I am not the only one thinking.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people think that they can drink and drive, safely and responsibly. I guess they think "it's not going to happen to them." But, it's not so much about them and their obvious disregard for others; it's about the reckless endangerment of (innocent) lives. My niece was struck down by a drunk driver at the age of 3 while walking to McDonald's with her mom. and she is now a quadriplegic. The driver of the car left the scene of the accident.....leaving this little child behind on the pavement, crippled and bleeding profusely. The impact was so brutal, that her little teeth were literally scattered all over the street. When the authorities caught up to this sorry excuse of a man, he was so drunk he couldn't stand up. And, this was not his first DUI! Understandably, I have zero tolerance for those who drink and drive. Enough said!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your (political) blog, and thought it not only expressed concern, but written from a very optimistic viewpoint! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you Tee! I got it - the car that is :)
ReplyDeleteI am well over now what has happened as I chalk it up to something that just happened and that is basically it. I am more geared within moving forward. As today I bought a car finally. So I am elated yet it's been a long day but things happen within life that sometimes you can never expect. So you render the best within the days. I really do mean that as I would rather aspire than go over and over the things that have happened especially during this last year. When it was just around Christmas I had all things within a plan and then this happened. My mindset now is to continue with that plan that I had made.
ReplyDeleteKids these days are different I might be getting old but if you ask me parents give their kids all too much. And they don't have to work for it on there own. Not all but to a large extent. Some think it's withing an economical status but I find that values are starting to be lost equally with all. Especially the fortunate - the kids are not really raised they are given moneys and there are no values that are brought about.
Driving and drinking, the meth and all these drugs now that some are on....it's going to catch up.
This is were I find that values literally the foundation within our youth. I don't have any children but I would be raising them not with a stick - but with some solid values combined with some flexibility. I could very well be old school on this one but it's how I see it.
I don't write much on politics, yet it's not really political.
I don't push my thoughts but I write them.
I don't regress as life is a progression.
Yet just like you I am human as we all are...
I'm actually part baboon.
ReplyDeletesmiling - I forget when I was "hatched" :)
