Got Tires at Walmart!!!!

[AMISLANDER]

And the tire dilema is totally over! Went to Walmart yesterday morning at 9 am (had the day off) and by 12:30 p.m., I had 4 new tires on my 4Runner I have never been in Walmart for so long!!!Sarasota for an art walk with my sons later in the day, Pink Panther & bed!

Walmart was certainly reasonable ($333.41) and you can certainly feel the difference...I don't remember ever seen tread so THICK!!!!

Everyone have a great weekend!

WTG!! Amis!!

Doesn't it feel like a whole new ride??!!

Amazing how great new shoes on Lizzy can make you feel!!

What kind did you wind up getting??!!

We're looking at having to do the same thing on 2 cars. Both are sliding around a lot when the pavement is really hot and when it rains. The tires look decent enough, but we realized they must be at least 6 years old on each car. Guess age and wear and tear, throw in a bit of dry rot. Must be getting to them as far as performance goes.

With old beaters, you hate to sink a minor fortune into them. But at the same time, you want decent quality to last a while too.

Fantastic, Amislander! No more worries about finding yourself on the side of the road with a flat (or worse). So glad you were able to enjoy the rest of the day with your son along with a dependable, cushy road ride to boot! WTG!

GJ, now all you have to worry about is gas, lol

[DisneyGirl]

Jenny, we are all entitled to our opinions, but I do not feel that your expression of yours was appropriate here and in the manner you chose to do so.

[lrprn]

Jenny (or whoever you really are) -
Edgar W. Howe said it well..."Don't abuse your friends and expect them to consider it criticism."

I heard once that criticism is the disapproval of people, not for having faults, but having faults different from your own. Look inward, Jenny - there's plenty of work to be done on your own faults before you start pointing your finger at anyone else's. Think what good you could accomplish in the world if you turned that considerable energy of yours to something more productive than flaming strangers on a public board so you can feel morally superior.

I don't care if I get flamed for this,

I don't care if you think this is harsh, and you can call me any names you want. So can anyone else.

According to Amis' posts, the Divorce was over 5 years ago. That means the kids were with the Ex long before Amis' financial problems arose. Amis makes next to nothing compared to her Ex yet Amis still pays child support. Ex has controlled the situation regarding their children since the Divorce.

What goes around, comes around. You should walk a mile in Amis' shoes before you go throwing stones. I do hope you live in a glass house so someone can shatter it for you.

Amis,...........

We love you and support you. So you've made mistakes in the past. So what. None of the rest of us live in ivory towers like Jenny does.

We know you love your kids and would move heaven and earth for them.

If Jenny had kids, that "person" would know that too.

I don't care if you think this is harsh, and you can call me any names you want. So can anyone else.

I am just totally floored that someone could say something meant to be so hurtful and hateful to another person. Have you no compassion? We are all here to lend support to each other. If you have nothing constructive to say, keep it to yourself. I for one admire her for TRYING. She could have just thrown up her hands and sunk into the dark side forever when she wasn't granted primary custody, but no! She is actually getting her life straightened out and taking responsibility for her past actions. It happens one step at a time, not all at once.

I normally try to be a forgiving and tolerant person, but you, Jenny, take the cake. With attitude like that, I bet you lead a very lonely life with friendships being few and far between and not significant. And I feel sorry for you for that.


Amis, keep up you chin and know that a big portion of us disagree with Jenny. I admire you for being on the journey of setting your life straight, and not giving up when things were the lowest they could be.

Jenny or whoever you are:

You are completely out of line and I hope you will be banned! While I may not agree 100% with what someone else does, that does NOT mean that I have any right to judge him/her!!

I am a mom myself and have made PLENTY of mistakes, but I love my children and would willingly lay down my life them in a heartbeat! Being a parent is the toughest job I've ever had and there is no training for it! I am a highly educated woman who graduated at the top of her graduate school class, but it in NO WAY prepared me for parenting!!! (You probably ask, if I'm so smart, why did I have to file BK? OK, I made mistakes there, too, but have had seven surgeries and three job losses!)

I will pray for you; seriously I will. I will also pray for my attitude toward you will change, because right now it is less than charitable.

You owe AMIS an apology.

Jenny has now crossed the same line that Queerguy crossed when he suggested to a poster that maybe they should end their life to get out from under their problems, that was what finally got him permanently banned.

That was when he went from being crass, annoying, and somewhat unconventional to downright hurtful and inhumane, and that, Jenny, is where you are right now.

You have offered little if any help to anyone, and have usually just succeeded in insulting and belittling. Its like its your job to patrol these board for opportunities to make others feel small and yourself "feel" superior. It's not wanted here, and it's very tiresome. I think it's time for you to move along.

AMIS, we aren't there, we only get snippets. I haven't read your whole story or every word of every post. I don't know what is going on in your life. All I can say is glad you got new tires, and i hope your kids enjoy the visit. I really haven't read Jenny to much so maybe I just don't get it. Anyway, hope the kids enjoy.

BTW, my buddy just got back from Tennessee. As he entered Florida he saw the big Billboard on 75, picture of a gun and a bullet exiting the barrel with the words "Beware, Florida residents are permitted to use deadly force". Thank God for the "Castle Doctrine", still alot of things i like about this State. It's an anti gun Billboard but like they say "Teddy K's car has killed more people than my gun" (and as it turns out, disabled more also). Like old Thomas J. said "an armed man is better able to defend himself and an honest armed man is no threat to society" not verbatim.

Under the new law, Floridians may use deadly force against an attacker, even if they could have gotten away. It also requires prosecutors to presume that someone acted in self-defense.

This is a BK forum. Every single person I have met in my entire life has problems. You may judge or voice your opinions on the topics of this forum; anything else is not only off topic but out of line. Other problems that people may or may not have, can be addressed at the appropriate forum or other resource.

Amislander,

Glad to hear you got some new threads to travel on..... better safe than sorry down the road......

As far as some of the rude comments others have made........ their stupidity outweighs their level of intelligence......

Most of us on this forum are proud to know you, proud that you have accepted your "problems" and are taking resposibility for "your actions" in the past......

We don't walk in each others shoes, or travel the miles that others do, so we have no right to be criticle of their lives. We may not agree with them, or we may feel that they have made a mess of their lives..... but it's not our place and this forum is not the place to pass judgement on them.....

This forum is made of different races, different sexes, different incomes, different lifestyles, different personalities, etc.

What is different about each of us makes each one of us "special" in our own way......

Some of us struggle thru life, some breeze thru it. Some are very caring individuals, sympathic, compassionate, etc. There's some that dont' really give a dam one way or the other......

We decided what kind of "person" we want to be in life and some of make some bad choices...... and its not someone elses place to "judge" us because they don't approve......

If we clean out our "own closets" I'm sure there's enough skeletons and cobwebs there to keep us busy for a long time....... so who are we to judge someone else......???

Me, personally, I'm too busy trying to get my own closet organized, without messing with someone elses......

PS......."verbal abuse towards another member will be dealt with".....read my lips, I don't mumble!!!

My thoughts on the rudeness...............

[jane taylor]

Minny--

You go, girl!!! Jenny got on my last nerve--NOT a good idea!

Going to recoup some of my lost nerves---
