Blog slacker

Yeah I know, I've been slacking on the blog, but honestly anything I would have posted in the last 2 weeks probably would have involved discussing the finer points of when it is appropriate to use a incidence rate ratio or an odds ratio....i.e. epidemiology blather that you probably don't care about and don't want to waste your time reading. So anyway, I actually did something non-school related this weekend, which was that we finally got around to replacing the starter in my truck (better known as MissBetty). I was so sure that after we replaced it the truck would run again that when all I heard was dead silence when we tried to crank it I wanted to cry... Stupid truck, why do I keep putting myself through this agony with you? I swear she must be cursed, after the blown motor,being crushed by a tree, and now she is dead again... (Giving MissBetty a new motor last summer)


So I have come to the point now where I have to ask myself, it is time to give up and just sell the damn thing? Now that I'm in grad school I really can't afford to keep sinking $ into it... what do I do??? I have to admit that the thought of not seeing her turned into the mud truck of my dreams just kills me...hmmm....maybe I need to write in to one of those "trick my truck" shows and tell them my sob story, because that may be the only option I have left :(

OH NO!!! You can't sell Miss Betty. You have dreamed so long of having your own muddin' truck! I vote on the 'trick my truck' option :)

You can always wait until you can fix it.
