~~~~ Today we went to our friends, Marty and Melinda’s, house for dinner and then Dawnell went to a function with them at their daughters high school. I brought the boys home and now get to fight with them to get them both ready for bed. Oh what fun! ~~~~ CAPTURED A pedophile suspect who became the subject of an international manhunt this week after an appeal from Interpol has been detained in the United States. Wayne Nelson Corliss, 58, was arrested at his apartment in Union City, New... Read Full Story

The little one has gotten over his bout of Fifth disease. He was back in school today. It doesn’t seem to last very long. Shane has received an offer to cut someone’s grass after they move. I told him he had to prove to me he could do it by cutting our grass first. That was yesterday, today, I cut the grass. All the dogs seem to be getting along again. No fighting which is good since I really can’t afford more Vet bills. ~~~~ WANTED INTERPOL is asking for the public’s help in identifying... Read Full Story

~~~~ The weekend was busy… On Saturday I took the boys to the SAC museum for a while. I think Shane is only interested in the gift store. We never get to really walk around as he always wants to hurry up and head to the store. Most times I hate going to places like that with him because it is the same thing all the time. Yesterday we had to take the youngest to the Urgent Care because of a fever, they said he had “fifth disease”. OK, whatever… But when I looked it up it was real. The... Read Full Story

~~~~ We had some storms move through last night, nothing big but it woke me up once. We can always use rain in the spring. Our dogs had another fight this morning, Shane was playing with Emma and they Emma and Stella got into a fight and Anika jumped in on Emma’s side. So Stella has a hole in her leg and another on her neck, Anika has a gash in her leg and Emma’s nose got chewed up. Oh, and when Dawnell tried to break it up and pull Anika off of Stella, she attempted to pry Anika’s mouth... Read Full Story

~~~~ 5 Years ago, we saw this: ~~~~ Dawnell and I took the van out last night and she drove while I sat and listened, no squeaks that I could hear and I hear pretty good. So I guess Todd Archer Hyundai got it fixed finally using one of their “Squeak repair kits”. It would have been nice they had squeak reapir kits 11 months ago. Working days has been going pretty good. I am home when the boys get off the bus and I usually have dinner ready to go by the time Dawnell gets home. Might have... Read Full Story

~~~~ The other day I received a phone call from Hyundai USA and was told to take my van back to the dealer so they could look at it one more time as a “good will jester”. The service manager was very nice and worked with us and we believe they may have actually fixed the Entourage this time. Time will tell if it will start squeaking again like a old bedspring but I am hoping it doesn’t. I am still not happy with the way Hyundai USA handled the situation and how Todd Archer’s management... Read Full Story

~~~~ Well, still nothing from Todd Archer Hyundai in Bellevue NE. It is getting really frustrating when you leave messages and no one calls you back. I am so fed up that I am seriously thinking about taking the van to a Dodge dealer and trading up to one of their vans except for what I owe on the Entourage. Heck even a Suzuki would be better that what I have now. I was also informed last week by Hyundai USA that my extended “bumper to bumper” warranty didn’t cover that and that the warranty...

~~~~ Last night was my last night shift for 4 months! I start working days on Monday for two months. I am very happy, now I can get to know my family again. Both boys let me sleep for a few hours yesterday before they started to nit pick at each other and wake me up for stupid things. I guess I will try to stay up this morning and sleep tonight in order to get on a normal schedule again. I still have not heard anything from Todd Archer Hyundai but I did receive a call from Hyundai USA... Read Full Story

After a couple days of warm spring like weather yesterday felt like winter again. Cold, damp and windy. I had to turn the heat back on. But it made for good sleeping. I got up when the boys got home from school, took them to eat some dinner since Dawnell works late on Friday’s and I didn’t want to cook. Before I left for work, I watched Battlestar Galactica on SciFi. It was good but I am a little lost as to what is going on this season. Tonight is my last night shift. I can’t wait until...

~~~~ Yesterday I really expected to get a woke up with a phone call from Todd Archer Hyundai after all that went on the day before in promise that they would contact me on Thursday. No phone call, no nothing. I am sure the next time I call the dealer I will have to start all over again. Hyundai makes a nice car but their customer service sucks. I only have 3 more nights of work before I start working days. The bad thing is I only have one day of transition between nights and days. So I will... Read Full Story
