I thought I'd be much more excited about getting married in a few months and much less anxious and stressed out about it. I mean, holy crap! The more it sinks in the more ZOMG I get! I'm going to need to borrow some of Chloe's anxiety meds before this is over. Lol

USPS, I hate you. I hate that you said my package was expected to arrive today. Did it arrive? No. But it is in a city 30 minutes away. WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE IT TODAY.

I cannot for the life of my find any DexCool within a reasonable distance from my house. Granted it's because Autozone is closed right now, but COME ON! I need coolant for my leaky-ass car!

That's what I'm going to have to do until tomorrow afternoon, but I exploded my hoses that way before.
In the summer? Water will split your hoses in the winter, obviously, but you shouldn't need coolant in the summer. I just hate watching my $20 bottle of G12 continually streaming out of the car. Not so sad when it's $1 jug of water. :p

Yup, in the summer, and fairly recently at that. Water expands when it freezes, but it also expands when it turns to steam. My leak isn't terrible (maybe a gallon over 2-4 weeks) so I get the $12 generic undiluted one and mix it to a 25% solution, making it $3/gallon ;)

Guy on another forum keeps insisting "if women wear low cut tops it's because they want you to look at their boobs" and "low-cut tops are an invitation to look." The words "they're asking for it" came out of his posts.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

The funniest part - this guy was all up in another thread going on and on about how he's a super strict Christian.

Puke.

I have an actual vent but it's too long and I'm still too mad to type it out.

Weird. Coolant doesn't raise the boiling point of the solution that drastically. Straight water in the system won't boil until 250, which would be at the point that the car is overheating. You could burst a line if you don't bleed the system. Who knows if that's what happened. Kind of odd. The G12 from the dealer is undiluted as well, but that's as cheap as it gets. Non-OEM is terrible for the car.

Someone tells me to write in a LiveJournal because it can be a private place where you can write down random thoughts or writings, poetry or coding and it can be great for venting out your more angsty feelings or dramatics. And it's all just for me, so I don't have to worry about anyone else's reaction or misunderstandings.

Said person then goes through my LiveJournal where I have done such things, takes everything to the most literal context, twists it, decides I'm planning to kill them, then copies and pastes everything and emails it to other people that I don't know. Then lies to me about doing such things. I get angry, obviously, for the betrayal of trust and psycho-logic.

They get angry and indignant, argument being that "nothing on the internet is private" and if I said things I didn't mean, or was being metaphorical about, then I shouldn't have put it on there.

I quit people.

I love being married, but I hated getting married. If I could have skipped the wedding without hurting peoples' feelings, I so would have. It was stressful (especially for someone who doesn't like being the center of attention).

I'm sure the hose was weakened already from overheating however many times (I'm sure it overheated many times before I ever bought it), so that probably was a factor too. I'm just not willing to risk it. And sadly, non-OEM coolant is the least of my car's problems :( So, there's an extension of my vent...can I just please have a car that works properly?
