Jenni what kind of doctor do you work for?

I've only seen a few. I don't touch our cars anymore with all the computers that are in them now. Still can diagnose by sound and performance though.

Congrats Jenni.

Becky, you wouldn't want to come give a stab at my jeep would you? hehe

Hi Cyndi.
Becky we don't have any kids either. I only have 4 nephews - 2 who live in France (12 & 8), & 2 who live in Sydney (8 & 5). My sis had her children when she was around 40 years old, so that's why they are so young

I had to try to Topp because I need to stay number 4 on the list. Can't let that Gail or that Brenda catch up (they are closing in fast.

Cyndi, the boss is a cosmetic physician .....

What's it doing Cyndi.

Do you get 'strange' looks from people when you tell them you don't have kids? Sometimes I get a look that makes me feel kind of guilty.

Yes, Becky, strange looks of all varieties. Also weird & sometimes rude & inappropriate questions because people always make assumptions about why no kids, & usually they're wrong.

When I taught I found a good response. When the kids(teanagers) would ask me why, I'd just say, 'We can't.' No explanations.

Interesting work--I'm sure you have some interesting patiients. I did billing, insurance and collections for a pulmonary doctor for 23 years before I retired a year and a half ago. Becky, it has always had a noise in the rear end. The rear end has been replaced twice and it's still there. I don't hear the noise, but it really annoys hubby.

How are you feeling tonight Cyndi?

I'm doing okay, thank you, Becky. Great response--bet you didn't get much further discussion!

Saw that Jenni just watch yourself. My TOPPs mean so much to me, sorta like a chatterbox's badge of honour

Cyndi, Chrysler's are known for rear end noise. It might be normal. If it's still under warranty, take it to a different dealer and ask them to diagnose. Had a Charger that had so many different sounds it about drove me nuts. Haven't bought one since.

I've never liked noises in my rear end. Embarrassing

You're back Gail. Just couldn't leave us, could you?

Cyndi, it's a different sort of medical office to most, & a lot of stuff done that I would not have imagined before I worked here.
Becky, I once had someone say to me 'well you've still got time'. I was about 42 years old at the time & because I thought she was being really nosy I came back with a very curt 'we can't' type of retort. She didn't speak again, & I guess I was probably a bit rude, but it does get very annoying.

Do you know whats worse than not hearing the noise a car makes. When your H cant hear the noise the car DOES make!

That was a quick school pickup Gail - or did you leave them to get back on their own?

Hello, for the third time.

Cyndi, glad to hear.

Hubby wasn't too thrilled when I told him. I told him a rude question deserves that type of answer.

Glad to see you back, Gail.
He only drives it to church and the grocery store, drives his beamer or truck most of the time. I don't think he'll buy another jeep, but it's been mostly my car anyway and that's why we bought it, and like I say, I don't hear it.

Hi Ruby.

Hi Ruby

I've had three cars in my life that wouldn't misbehave in front of a mechanic.

My second eldest sister ,she's 13-14 years older, always said she didnt want kids, she worked for the gov and was fairly 'high up'. Anyhoo her 1st marriage broke up for prospective husband #2 and the same year H and I had our first she up and started having babies! In hindsight she really should have stuck to the decision she had held till she was 35.

Hi, Ruby.

Hi, Jenni, Becky and Cindi. Rain and clouds today. Pleasant temp, too.

My car at the moment keeps flashing a 'check engine' light at me. The instruction manual says that this is serious & should be seen by a mechanic. But of course it never comes on when hubby is driving, so he just thinks it's got something to do with the way I drive it!! And since I leave it to him to take the car to the mechanic I don't think it will ever get seen to.

I like most kids. The ones across the street from us call me Miss Becky.

Jenni, are you the one who puts the gas in?

Well, it's 2:00 am and son wants to go to bed, but can't until I do, soo guess I'm going to bed.
Goodight ladies, it's been nice chatting. Hope too catch you again.

Gail, not having kids does has some advantages - Becky do you agree?
Ruby, send some rain here - we still haven't had any, despite all the floods north of Sydney

Night Cyndi, sleep tight.

Everyone is right chatty tonight.

Oh Ruby, don't you just hate THAT look mechanics give you. That 'Hey lady its just a loose wingflangenut, nuthin to worry about. Have it fixed in a jiffy' look. Then they turn away rolling their eyes muttering 'neurotic women' under their breath. on top off that it takes all day to 'fix' they charge you a fortune and when you drive away, THE SOUND IS STILL THERE!...or is that just me.

Becky, yes it's normally me that puts the petrol (gas) in.
Night Cyndi, sleep well

Gail, THAT look is why I always let hubby take the car, even I am good friends with our mechanics

Nighty night dont let the bedbugs bite. Isnt that just the craziest thing to say to a child last thing before they go to sleep!
