I learned a long time ago (the hard way) to never loan a vehicle. EVER.
I can't stand borrowers anyway. I took after my Grandfather in that sense. He used to say of his neighbor, "He ain't got nuffin to do nuffin wiff and it bovers me". A so called friend asked me once to use my computer, and I reluctantly agreed. Then I found out he wanted to design and print a goddam gazillion yard sale fliers. What a shmeezle.

Ya, family... can't let her down. I told them they could but listed reasons why they shouldn't and gave alternative ideas. Makes more sense to rent a mini van.... hopefully they'll go for that.

our tv shit the bed last night. and we just sold two working tvs at the yard sale this spring. I'm asking the guys at work if they have an extra laying around. I've only ever paid money for one tv in my life. You can't even buy a tube tv anymore, already. wtf?

we have one hanging around doing nothing -beest just replaced it with a flat-screen thingy that drives me nuts. I'm guessing the shipping'd be a killer, though

Offer to trade one week's rental of your vehicle for their best television set. Maybe, in this way, they can put two and two together.

After my most resent lightning strike, I priced a flat screen 26" at $400.00. Bought a tube type 27" for $188.00. Digital. Stereo.
Thanks, Wally.

I let them have it. Family is more important than stuff and all that other karma hippie shit... ah, fuck it.
I hope if we get a new tv it fits in the little piece of crap sitting in my driveway.
