Good news - The car is fixed. We took it to a place recommended by some ward members and they had it fixed in a day and a half. The engine control module needed replacing - which is basically the computer for the car. Shocker! A car that old has a computer. Now it is running wonderfully again and I have to admit that after all these miles together we have grown rather fond of the chrysler.
As the title of this post suggests - "Another" thing has been on our "to do" list for several weeks now. True to her habit of putting things down holes they don't belong in, Curly 'watched' a baby washcloth go down the tub drain a few weeks ago before exclaiming "Mom! Lou's washcloth went down the drain!" The tub has been backed up and out of service since then. We have tried many things to get the washcloth out, but have not yet succeeded. Fisher decided to take apart the p-trap on the sink to see if he could get a better angle with the drain snake. But, at the slightest touch the p-trap cracked! So now the tub and sink are unusable (Thankfully this is a two bathroom house). Feeling that he may be losing his MacGyver touch, we decided to call a plumber... until we found out how much that would cost! So, now we are trying to replace the p-trap and remove the washcloth on our own. We will keep you posted.

You guys! Is this the "Disaster Blog" now or are you just having a lot of stressful bad luck? I'm so sorry, but I'm glad the car is fixed. Sending good vibs your way. Hopefully they'll do some good.
