(See the beginning of my transmission problem here)
I am happy to report that American Honda has agreed to pay for the part for a new transmission, providing I pay for the labor.
I am satisfied with this arrangement. I think that’s fair. Though the labor is a little expensive (the dealer said it would be about $800), it’s better than paying $3000 for the entire thing.
Our pastor mentioned this book in one of his sermons, so I requested it at our local library (I love the library!).
Salzman is a great story teller. He transforms his simple experiences into anecdotes that paints for us a picture of life in China on a local level. He shares his experiences with the people he meets in Changsha as an English teacher in 1982-84.
A caller to Stand To Reason said that the only pro-life advocates she has heard are men.
She insisted that since men cannot understand what it’s like to experience an unwanted pregnancy, it would be better if there were more women pro-life advocates.
First, this caller needs to open her eyes. A simple Google search…
I was listening to the late Adrian Rogers’ sermon in my car yesterday:
“God did not give us spiritual gifts for our enjoyment. He gave them to us for our employment.”
I’ve always known that our spiritual gifts for not for ourselves, but to serve others.
But this time, it struck me how we don’t put it into practice.
Since my last post, here is an update:
I called Honda on Friday, Aug 29 about 4pm. They said someone will call me back within 2 business days.
I was very impressed that Wayne from Honda called me back the same day, even though I registered my complaint late in the day on Friday. Unfortunately, I missed his call.
Who would ever want to run for public office??
Palin’s children may be straight A students, or doing hours of volunteer work, but will the media write a front page story about that?
If you advocate abstinence, and if some people do not follow your advice, does it mean your stand on abstinece is wrong or unworkable?
Read more of “Is it an issue that Sarah Palin’s daughter is pregnant?”
I found this site’s analysis very interesting. it gave me a little more confidence in McCain’s choice for running mate.
Here are some excerpts from Adam Brickley’s posts :
Sarah Palin is an anomaly in American politics. It’s not because she’s a woman, not because of her blue-collar background, and not because of her ability…
I am documenting this for reference.
I have a 1999 Honda Odyssey, bought brand new from the dealer, Rock Honda it was. I was on a waiting list and waited a couple of months to get this van. It was purported to be the best van, efficient engine, and we trusted Honda as a maker of reliable cars.
I don’t get out much.
The only time we go places is to meet up with friends and relatives.
My cousin was here from Hong Kong, and I ate out more last week with my cousin than the last 6 months combined.
We had crepes at the Farmer’s Market, sushi in Claremont, pasta at Cheesecake…
*Waking up at 6:20AM instead of lazying around in bed till 10AM.
*Packing ham and cheese sandwiches that my daughter doesn’t eat.
*So happy to have my daughter home at 2:15pm. I loved the summer when she is home with me all day!
*The little boy who waits in front of our house for the school bus grew several inches over the summer.
