cars

The people who bought car we sold keep calling us to help them. Not just with the car we sold them, but another one they have also. The first time we figured we owed them because they let us borrow back our car the day after we sold it to them(something was wrong with the van). That was very nice of them. But then they called again after the man said it wouldn't start. So Tom went and looked at it and found a crack on the engine. Which wasn't there when we sold it to them. We were feeling bad about that until we heard the real story-someone told the man that he should put oil in the car so he poured in two quarts, and that would be what cracked the engine. His neighbor said he could fix it, but apparently couldn't get to it fast enough. So now they're calling Tom again asking him to come look at it to see if he can fix it. He told the son that he knew someone selling a car for $400 and the son hinted that Tom should give him a ride to see it. Tom purposely ignored the hint, so then he outright asked. They've called a few times for advice with their other car, and Tom looked at that one too. But he said (to me) he's not going to look at their car or try to fix it anymore. I'm glad he's finally putting his foot down now-he has so little time with us or to relax. He does way too many free or low price projects for people. I feel bad saying that, but he has a family to support too.

So Tom calls me from work yesterday, "hey, do we have an extra hundred or so?" "Why?" "Well, the cars on the highway decided to go slow all the sudden and I had a plank in the van, and now..............the windsheild is cracked." Did you ever have a feeling that you will just never get caught up?
