woke up to -35 C temperature...didn't plug car in cos couldn't find plug (just moved), car wouldn't start of course, then noticed huge black oil puddle under car. Called cab cos had Doc appt. Cab didn't show. Contractor working on house drove me. (sweetie) Late for Doc's appt..brand new Doc, new town. He was darling! He was 12,(Doogie Houser-ish), and just out of school, but absolutely darling. Sometimes I think they are more thorough than docs that have been treating you for years. Now, I'm no mechanic, but this can't be good. Tow truck came and took my Pearl away to dealership. Awaiting diagnosis. (of Pearl, my car) Rest of day went ok...still not smoking, and handled stressful morning well. Is there some sort of ribbon ya get for 10 days smoke free, along with not rippin off anyone's head, or impaling them with the remote? lol  Cheers, Steph

You are a SAINT! I grant you the ability to impale one person with your remote (that cab driver comes to mind). You may NOT smoke, though. If the dealership gives you a hard time, you may impale them, too.
In case your new doctor is a good one, you may not impale him.
If I woke up and it was -35 C (or F), there is really nothing that can make it 'otherwise ok'. Just shoot me. Brrrrr [*bleep*]. I will never live where cars must be plugged in at night.

Noelene, find your nearest meat packing plant and go stand in their freezer for about an hour. It won't be -35C, but it will give you an idea of what it's like. I'm not serious about that suggestion...just so's you know. It's really darned cold! Warm hugs,
Kat

YIKES! too cold even for me! Congrats on the smoking thing! I quite about 3 years ago. Something to look forward to: You've been free of cigarettes for 1304 days, 3 hours, 50 minutes & 12 seconds You have not smoked 39,124 cigarettes since then, and you have saved a total of $17,606.16. (this is mine obviously) http://darrenfauth.com/calculators/money-saved-by-quitting-smoking
