  you can't make up this kind of religious nut-job fanaticism:.

  although in retrospect, it's no more extreme than those jws who die refusing blood.... adam.

  I'm wondering if the fellow is gay or bi. I have a transgender sibling, who once was a baptis minister. He/she believes that it's sinful to be gay. Now a she, she thinks it's not wrong to have surgery, take hormones, to become what you've always felt you were on the inside. I don't think so either. She feels it's wrong to couple up with a same sex partner though. I love my sister to the ends of the earth. I'm not sure how she twists her mind around this one. I hope she will ease up on her feelings about gay relationships.

  if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?

  top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.

  not too expensive to maintain.

  That's an important issue, how much does the car cost to repair. I'm raising a grandson and don't have tons of extra cash for repairs.

  One suggestion was a 2001 Volvo. Can't remember which model.

  Thanks, Simon. The last car I drove, which I sold to the mechanic yesterday for $200, was a nightmare. I had the ball joints break twice. I had the timing belt break once and had to have the engine rebuilt. I've had a tie rod pop loose. The car jumped time and destroyed the engine. I give up. I've never had a car with such problems before. It's been dangerous. I may have more money to spend, but I'm going to see what's available in the $5,000 range. I have a friend who can get corporate, fairly low mileage Chevy Impalas, 2010, for $10,000, but another friend is discouraging that idea. HOpe to have the money this month. Meanwhile, I'll be asking for rides to work, something very hard to do.

Top concerns: good MPG; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc. Not too expensive to maintain. Comfortable, roomy enough to cart 6ft plus teenagers around in. Not rusting, etc. Where to buy.

  Please discuss.

  Viola, she used to type letters to me. She would correct them with ink pen. She sent me a subscription to a girls magazine called Ingenue. She would put little things in her letter like a silver book mark, monogrammed with an F for the family name, which I still have.
