Definitely I would replace the car. Something is just fishy with a car with that many issues and only 88K - I'd be nervous to drive it for fear it would strand me somewhere! My Toyota Corolla has 273K, but it's still going strong and I'd trust it to take me anywhere.
Like others have suggested, you could consider getting a less expensive, but still reliable, economical car to save funds for the kitchen.

I like potlucks as well. I wouldn't find it tacky at all. However, I'm probably not the best indicator as I also find potluck weddings perfectly acceptable: the family is very sanely solving the food issue instead of trying to foot a bill they really couldn't afford for an expensive catered dinner. Plus, I like the more casual atmosphere. But that's me. Your mileage may vary.

Usually I just say "we homeschool" but once in a while it is someone with an attitude. Next time its the latter I'm going to say "we don't have time for school. There's just so much good TV to watch."

Oh, Ali in OR is so much nicer than me!
I'd probably say something like, "Let me get this straight. I asked for play dates three times over the winter and you made an excuse every time. But now that my pool's open you want to be friends?"
And see what they say. Either they'll be horribly embarrassed and apologize, or they'll get defensive. But I'm terrible about beating around the bush with people who are supposed to be friends. Frenemies, maybe, but not friends.
I'd be EXTREMELY tempted to respond like this were I in your situation! :rolleyes:

I would plan on $100/day for the first two days/nights, then estimate pay for the third partial day based on your normal hourly wage. So if your hourly wage is $10, the "day" starts at 8:00 am (arbitrary time,) and you plan to return around 3:00pm, I'd pay $270, which I'd probably bump up to at least $275 just to make the numbers neat.

Prayers for you and your family. May Steven's memory be eternal!

I am new here, but I wanted to let you know that I will pray for you all. May God give you strength.
when a kid wants "equal footing"

Adult status comes with responsibility.
Tell her that if she wants "adult" status or "equal footing" with you and your DH, she would need to start paying for her insurance, food, share of water, gas, and electric bills, ect. ect.
She doesn't have and is not capable of taking on adult responsibilities yet. Thus, she doesn't get to treat adults as equals: she should respect and honor you, your DH, and other adults for the responsibilities and sacrifices you take on to ensure her welfare and to provide for her.
