Having a really difficult time right now....
@Deb, first of all, thank you for that story. It really helped me, a lot. Another thing, i'm sorry to say that my boyfriend and I don't live in Canada, I haven't the slightest idea how to change that. He and I actually live in Virginia, one of the worst states for health care, but, i can say something good about this state. He's part of a free clinic that offers basic stuff to patients and they're performing the surgery for free.
Also, the last 2 cars i have purchased were off of craigslist, the 1st one, the motor seized up in it, and the 2nd one, it took 4 months after buying it for it to stop running. There was nothing mechanically wrong with that car i just didn't have the money to fix it. I'm going into this search with more open eyes then i did the last 2 times. My boyfriends mother bought his cousin a car, a 1991 mustang i might add, and she's thinking about letting us use it until we can find something because right now that car is just sitting in his cousins driveway with a flat tire. We have the money to replace that tire, it's just a matter of convincing his mom that we need the car.
But, again, thank you for all the support. You remind me of my mom, quick to give advice and quick to give warmth and love, thank you.
