Great

My mom called me today while I was at work and left me a voicemail. She told me that someone from the car shop called her and gave her the total for the replacement of the radiator and the diagnostic for the AC. Well, I thought it was only going to be about $350 at most (around $375 after adding the diagnostic on), but the grand total came out to be about $415. And they found that the AC compressor is what's broken, and that's going to be around $800-$1000 to replace. So, basically the most expensive part on the AC system is the one that decided to crap out...and now I have to play a bloody fortune if I want to fix it..and I do. So, I'm hoping that maybe things will be on my side and it'll only be $800-ish (and not $1000). Either way, it looks like I'm not going to be spending money on myself, buying things I don't "need" for a pretty long while. That's pretty much going to wipe out what I've got in the bank right now, so I'm going to need to start saving up so that I'm not broke after all of this is said and done. Yay...I might have to get 2 jobs over the summer.

In other news. I've only got about 3 more days before I can have soda again! I'm so craving some Big Red right now! And I was at Marathon last night and saw that they have 2 liters of Big Red for 99 cents, so I can get one of those and it might last me the day. :)

That's the very reason I had 0 AC in my van forever, b/c its just not worth it. Especially in my van which was thinking about crapping out at any second.

The Zip Code rule is when your significant other (or other person in question) does not live in the same zip code (or area code as the rule may be) as you thus making it a long distance relationship.
A theory in Men is that if you are in this situation where you do not live in the same zip and/or area code as your female counterpart you may get-it-on with whomever you want in the current zip and/or area code b/c your significant other in the other area would never know, that that's just a theory some people have.
