ok this tire problem is getting old/return to tire shop


I am really being tested. I am not understanding what the lesson is. I go the spare tire , mounted, & balanced this afternoon with the help of a dear freind/ neighbor giving me a ride. Then struggling about half and hour just to get the lugs off. I thought the tire looked low on air but it was too close to closing time to run to the store & fill it with more air. It is 1am. I had to go outside & thought the truck looked low on that side. Got the flashlight out and yup. we are not leaving the driveway no way. It is almost completely flat. My A is finally home & has had to have her bottle of wine after 10 days soberity not by choice but housesitting. She is all like it is ok we will be alright. Ok I have one more pill left for my high blood pressure left. the pharmacy is closed on sat & sun so what now? I am so tired of being the responsible one. I also have to be at work at 8pm. So I am turning this over to my HP and going to bed. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


ok I got up around 8 thought clock was set for 6:30pm , when I am exhausted a train could not wake me.  I made a few calls no one was home or answered the phone. I went next door to our new neighbor, we have only talked to them once. Turns out we both know a person from Atlanta, She went to school with him. we were a neighbor & good friend. They let us borrow an air compressier that plugs into the cigeratte lighter. My A, I had asked for help I said I did not know what to do & I was out of blood pressure meds. She changes the tire from the flat tire to the one with the messed up rubber. We rode to the local store & filled up that new spare used tire. It leaks around the rim. Lol, A young fellow noticed my truck at the gas pump and says something is wrong with the tire on my truck I thought that was hilarious & we shared a laugh. Seems everyone has been in a simular situation. We put the new used spare on the truck & head to the repair tire store. I had noticed when I went to put the tire on yesterday that it was uneven feeling around the tire tread. Tina , My A noticed it too. We tried to tell him. He went on about how bad the tire I brought in was. WHAT? we thought? what does that have to do with him selling us a messed up tire. He tells us how to clean the rim so it will not go flat again. I see now why I lost his business card. If he was a legit business person he would not have done that. We are not going back there unles in dire straits. no wonder everyone calls him dirty dan the gypsy man. they have used dvds for $12.95  & higher. over priced on everything. I hate being lied to an ripped off. We are heading to town now. I have a headache & have to go to work by 8pm. I told my A I am needing her to pack the truck for tommorrows sale. She says she can do it. I have to let go & let god take control. I want to do everything so it is done right. but................................


Still I am not in a pissy bad mood in spite of the events lately so maybe I am getting this program. It does feel good. Have a great weekend ya'll.

I am sorry for your struggles.  I hope today is a better day than yesterday when you posted.  Some days I just pray and pray, the calmness doesn't come right away sometimes but then it does eventually.


My prayers are with you...
