Just about reached the end of my rope.

Forgot to add, I used to break our wild bought horses, can't be any harder than an abused horse to break and ride.
Just need to show them who is boss before they stomp you.

Big horses require big girl panties.

She is not able to get the oil drain plug out, causing a delay.

Hi - I'm in Inagh, between Ennis and Miltown, Clare.

I've heard a person once call it the 710 cap. Asking if that was the type of oil needed.

Said, no ma'am. That is the word OIL upside down. Boy did she turn red faced at the auto store.

Cross-post..

water in oil can be fixed IF it didn't freeze the motor or snap a camshaft.

No matter how bad ya got it,someone else has got it worse. No matter how good ya got it, someone else has it better.

And even if you did have it the worst, someone else will come to fill that place eventually.

And if you've had it the best, it will only be for alittle while, and someone else will come along & take that too.

Some may ask "Why?" I say would you rather have not existed at all?

And I know of those that'd say "Just kill me now then!"

I say the door is right there, it's not like anyone is holding a gun against your head forcing you to exist.

If you want out, you know where the door is.

All I can honestly say is I don't know whats behind that door but we are all going to hafta walk thru it at some point.

So suck it up & press forward or fall to the wayside.

These things & more could all be arranged I'm sure, but alas I am but a mere observer.

No answers from me, just more questions..

In the Southwest (United States) they have massive rain storms and the water flows into low places called dips. Some people are dumb enough to try to drive through the dips and the water is as high as the top of the hood.

Tess. do you have a crowd funding account or another way that I could help you out?

This drives me NUTS! Wish I was there to help.

Someone here put me in touch with one. I'm waiting to hear back from them. First time I've heard of them. Thanks for caring.

Hard to imagine there is a place in the world without uber or lyft. That said, best of luck getting into a new ride. I'd start baking and taking goodies to the neighbors just in case

Lately things have been going to shit here too. We lost a lot in a natural disaster and since then ive been losing my mind. My wife is a shopaholic so Black Friday is always a stressful time anyway, but im not 100% healthy so ive been selling all of my valuables so my family can have a Christmas this year.

I do all this plus make sure they all have food to eat and people fight with me all day its damn crazy!

Hope things get better Tess!

Can you ride a horse to town? That would be pretty cool.

they say karma is a bitch

been there too, first when you get to the end of your rope tie some more on and keep on keeping on....this too will pass and as hard as it is you will come out the other side, just stay determined. sit down and feel sorry and be mad if you must, but get back up and be determined. ask the neighbors for help, so they didn't like your ex, apparently you didn't either or wouldn't be an ex, maybe they will see that and understand. I have deep negative feelings for my neighbor, however I still help them.

for all those offering fix ideals, has it been considered that water freezes, seems it is cold there. that engine is also likely a interference engine so that may complicate the problem depending on what has already been damaged.

for those that feel negative about helping fund.....I would rather help and let any wrong doing, if that was the case, be on the conscious of the other than myself. I don't want to ever have it said you could and wouldn't to me.

How can I help you,

From a fellow GLP here ,

Help on the way,

Appears to be some taxi services in the area:

Sounds like one bad millennial.

look for a new replace motor!!,let someone built it in

bill your nieces insurance
oterwise parents, husband
I had to pay too for my stupidities
and you Tess would have too
so
your niece cant be stupid without nothing in return

Tess, you're one of the valuable members of GLP. I'm happy to help you when you get your fundraising account. Ignore the negative comments of the assholes. If it was one of these other worthless stains of shit that have infested this site and asking for money, I'd send them an invoice.

Keep your chin up, Love. There are plenty here willing to help you out.

Good thing you have us then. Id see about getting the motor fixed.

Wouldn't it be covered on the insurance?

I,m in cork and I have wheels ,

You know you don't mean that...yes, you do

I hope you will get your account approved soon
Talked to hubby, and a friend of his living closest to you comes from Quilty. He can ask him if he knows someone who has a good quality car for a low price for sale.

hang in there, end of your rope, look for a ladder.

Get the car to the top of a hill, roll down and stuff it into a tree or ditch.

Use insurance $$$$ to get into a different car.

Goodies for sure. Christmas is coming up, perfect excuse to take a tin of cookies to get acquainted.

With harder times in store soon for all of us, I think, it's necessary to NOT be going it alone.

Especially imperative for you, if you are there alone in rural conditions, not prepared with the gear you need for rural living, and a lot of hungry dependents.

Take care, dear. Prayers are with you. Let us know as soon as you get approval for crowd funding.
