Default A little inspiration please

Well we have a whining crying thread...how about something positive
Let us know about the good things that happen to you or people you know or share any inspiring stories you have or maybe a happy saying that gives you strength.

I accidently allowed a "virus" to take download onto my computer when I was trying to listen to Mariah Carey's song Obssesed...grrrrr I called the shop that built my computer and my wonderful friend John (the service manager) came and picked up my computer, ran some tests, cleaned it up and brought it back to me the same day...and said "no charge". When I tried to use the computer it started to do the same thing. The next day he called to check on the how the computer was working, I told him it was still acting up...he came right over to the house and went through a round of installs and uninstalls of various programs...did a temporary fix to get me through the next few weeks of my rental season and is going to do a complete restore of my computer when I can leave it with him for a couple of days. ALL FOR NO CHARGE! That was so nice! I guess I will be baking cookies next week

He knows you will buy another from him some day and he wants to get your business next time. Those are the sorts of vendors that survive and even thrive during tough times.

The recession will end, and I will still have an RCSB with a 5.7.

Something positive?

Hmm.

I was reading some threads on mileage, many of which refer to 60/40 for highway vs city driving. I recently bought a Magellan GPS, which includes a handy average speed calculator, so I now can track average speed when calculating mileage.

I think that's a good news story.

I drove home from work Friday, I averaged 40mph with a mixture of highway and city driving...which sucks.

I suppose you have to take the good with the bad.

I am trying to read between the lines here. Given that no Chev Cobalt with Ecotec engine appears in your sig below, this would imply the GPS is already broken and requires repair?
