Also, two commericals on the radio bother me lately.

While they may have meant worldwide, they simply said 350 million suffered from depression, which equals the population of the United States, so basically everyone in this nation is depressed.

Another said we could experience excitement of the Rio Games in a Kia Rio. Seriously, they said that.

Blessed Assurance

Thank you to all our friends and family for their support, prayers, thoughts, and kind words. The following describes the memorial service for my sister Kimberly.

Pastor Ellsworth begin the service with a prayer. Jacob and Ruth Larkin sang an original composition featuring words from Psalms 23 and Psalms 91.

Pastor read the obituary for my sister, and Linda and Rachel spoke first, and the microphone was opened to anyone who wished to speak.

The proprietor and a coworker from the rental agency where my sister worked described her demeanor and dedication. The sixth grade teacher, which all three of we children had, was there and spoke.

My father spoke, and then I made a few remarks. Pastor spoke more about how Kimberly was like Jesus, and let us in a call to salvation an invocation.

I knew my sister Pamela had something in mind to honor Kimberly's request to have a funeral, and Pamela through three pages of eight-point font painted the most beautiful picture of my sister that words could ever express.

The service closed with “Blessed Assurance.”

My darlin’ Darlin’ FREEZE!

Zwei Jahre sind seit meinem Unfall vergangen, at which time my mother encouraged to me to see myself in a car like the rented Dodge Charger, so Impact Blue has in some ways become realization of that dream. Be not deceived, because I have had nicknames for each previous car of my driving pleasure.

Dodge Diplomat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“The Dodge Diplomat is an American mid-size car made from 1977 to 1989. It is essentially identical to the Chrysler- and Plymouth-branded versions of Chrysler’s M-body cars, including the Chrysler LeBaron and New Yorker Fifth Avenue and the Plymouth Gran Fury in the U.S. market and the Plymouth …”

My family bought a 1982 Diplomat in December, 1996. He was called Old Blue. I next drove a 1984 Buick Skyhawk, and called her Cinnamon, which played off Cadillac Cimarron, another gilded Chevrolet Cavalier of the time.

My two-tone tan 1984 Buick Skyhawk sedan. Purchased in January 2000, the car had working A/C in the summer of 2003, and a CD player installed the day after Thanksgiving, 2003. The dent in the front fender was worked out before it was accepted as a $2000 trade by Van Chevrolet in June, 2005. Gone to parts unknown, literally and figuratively.

Finally, I am brought to my darling darling, 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. Because she is titled with my father, I neither could, nor did, trade her for Impact Blue, yet I continue to need to sell her by next Tuesday. I drove her today to the Target in Mission, Kansas.

At Superior Chevrolet, I left off my car this morning. My rental is a Dodge Avenger.

I have accomplished a goal!

In thinking about my next blog entry, last night I realized that I have accomplished a goal!

Yeah, I set aside money from my tax refund with the purpose of having the timing chain and serpentine belt replaced on my car at McCarthy Chevrolet!

This is, sure, a small goal, but I accomplished a goal. The rental process was a little more of a pleasure, this time without first having severe body damage done to my car.

In March, 2006, my sister Kim and I were leaving Johnson County Community College through the second level of the Parking Garage at Galileo's Garden and struck a cylindrical barrier, doing $3000 worth of damage to the right side of the car. While my car was in the Collision Center at Superior Chevrolet, I drove my father's 1989 F-150 for a week and a half, and fueling the vehicle became expensive. When the repair was further delayed, Superior Chevrolet kindly paid for a rental car, a white, 2006 Kia Spectra sedan.

In July, 2008, my car was parked and someone took off the front bumper. The other party's insurance paid for rental car, a white, 2007 Chevy Cobalt sedan, and the repairs at Superior Chevrolet.

I less recently completed another Associate degree in Information Technology at ITT Technical Institute in November, 2009, and I have not yet officially received the degree.

I have some other goals, which I may complete someday, and I will take a sense of accomplishment whenever I can, like your girlfriend.
