About 3 hours before the ceremony, we went to get a bite to eat but when we got to the restaurant my ignition wouldn't shut off. We could not turn the key no matter how hard we tried. We called a tow truck and they had to tow it while it was still running. The closest Saturn dealer is in Wilmington, NC, 70 MILES AWAY. The insurance company would only give us a rental in Wilmington, like that would do us any good while we were stranded in Myrtle Beach. We had to rent a car and drive to Wilmington, get my car, then drive back to Myrtle Beach to return the car, it would have been an extra $150 to return it in Wilmington. Luckily my car is still under warranty so the repairs were free, but we still paid over $100 for a rental car that we had for less than 4 hours and two extra nights in a hotel. I can think of worse places to be stranded though.Mrs. Carlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-50547541263393560662010-02-23T12:45:49.012-05:002010-02-23T12:45:49.012-05:00Powdergirl is right.

I am also still trying to figure out how you manage to survive with doing the supermarket only once a week. I am there every few days since I started cooking every night. I don't trust fish or meat to hang out in my fridge for more than a day or so, so I end up visiting to market or the butcher a few times all the time.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14978375225313974459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-63511643894637919242010-02-22T15:00:27.495-05:002010-02-22T15:00:27.495-05:00Hitting the steering wheel with my shoe and cursin...Hitting the steering wheel with my shoe and cursing really loud usually works for me.
