He now manages using the bus system (with help from friends and family). Not an ideal system, but less stressful than being afraid to answer the telephone. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully the only major damage was to property and not people. My prayers and good thoughts are with each of you as you navigate the paperwork and recover from this shocker.Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-13339429574255371732007-11-09T12:22:00.000-05:002007-11-09T12:22:00.000-05:00Oooh, I remember when we got that call from Karen!...Oooh, I remember when we got that call from Karen!

All have been fine but it sure seems to be something the young boys need to do - and it is a very big lesson. My nephew totalled his car within the first two hours of getting it on the road.

Mine was on wet leaves, I spun round in the road ending up against the verge with nothing coming in the opposite directions (Thank you God!) The girl driving the other car in my previous partners fatal accident was seriously injured and has terrible scarring to remind her every time she looks in the mirror. It's a horrible lesson to learn and fortunately Jeff came out of it relatively unscathed.
