3. .........

:hug: I'm so sorry, my dear Ptah......

I have only a small idea of how much this must hurt you, sweetie....

:hug:

4. Neighbors like you help me.

How's your wheels?

Still happy with it?

5. I am so glad I help you, my dear Ptah.....

My wheels are good.....

However.....I just filled the tank the other day for the first time, and...

The mileage was nowhere nearly as good as I'd hoped it would be! :cry:

Instead of the 38/40 advertised (which I knew would NOT happen, BTW), I got a measly 28 MPG!

But my husband tells me that new engines often are not very efficient until they get broken in, and therefore it might be awhile before the mileage gets better...

I hope he's right! :shrug:

6. I think you should do what I did three years ago.

I think everyone should do what I did.

I sold my car.

If I can't get there by bus or walking, it can't be that important.

That's just me.

7. That just would not work here......

I'm glad it does for you, though.....:hug:

8. I had some cousins we used to visit. They would take us to

Huntington Beach.

Is that close to where you take those
magnificent photographs?

:hug:

9. Huntington Beach is south a fair number of miles .....

from my town, Manhattan Beach.....

I am up right next door to LAX.....

And my beach is where I take my pictures, the vast majority of them!

I thank you for your kind words, my dear Ptah! :hug:
