Picture Me

I've been tagged. I was asked to do one of these memes again so here goes. I'm not really sure what this one is supposed to be but anyway...

If my dad knew I'd posted I don't know what he would say. What wouldn't a dad do to keep his daughter happy?

Our car (the Subaru Outback that we bought two years ago and have already had to take to the shop twice for massive repairs) started overheating two weeks ago. Well to make a long story short we did everything that we could think on our on to save money, but then after repeated overheating we finally took the car to Houska's.

They decided to do what we had already done for free and charge us $100.00 for it. We had a little tiff at the shop because we were upset that they were charging us to do something that we knew wouldn't fix the problem, but they convinced us that they had. The car overheated FIFTEEN MINUTES after we left their shop. (Don't take your car to Houska's)

I called the Subaru Specialist and it turns out we have a blown head gasket...that's a $2,000.00 repair if you were wondering. On my $0.00 a month wages we don't really have the money to be shelling out for that. Anyway, I called my dad and after talking me out of a meltdown he told me that he thinks it will take a while, but he might just be able to help Jesse do the repair. We are talking a very time and labor intensive job here and he doesn't even give helping out a second thought. That's my dad for you. Needless to say this is just one example of many where he has been happy to go out of his way to keep his daughter happy.
