For the past few days I've been living on the edge. Mercilessly flirting with the "E" on my car's gas guage. Today we took the flirtatious relationship to the next level.
I was on my way home from work when the car suddenly lost power and instead of going 65, I was coasting. I tried to quickly and safely cross the four lanes of traffic to get to the side of the road all while losing speed. Yikes.
But I made it.
A few minutes later my visiting teacher and her husband rescued me with a few gallons of gas.
My silly flirtation with the "E" is over. "E" is dumped. I like "F" much better.

"Silly flirtations" can be troublesome. Great that your visiting teacher and her husband were there to the rescue. Watch out for those "E"s. I, too, am wishing I were one of the attendees at your family reunion. Take good care of yourself, and Marty. LuvYa,

I am laughing, Dr. Peanut!!! I can't tell you how many times E let me down RIGHT IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY when I still lived in Benton, and always as I was leaving for work. My mom would have to rescue me and she always chastised me. Silly me. Not only that, though, but I was also flirting with E's brother on the side. You know, the one known as "Locked Out," as in, "I have locked myself out of the house." What was bad was when those two showed up on the SAME MORNING (yes, it did happen. Silly, silly me).
Glad you were rescued. Know that you are not alone in your flirtations.
Thank goodness you didn't play this game with your diesel. I did that once -- not good. :)
Miss you!
Flirting with 1/2 is a much better game. Panic time occurs at 1/4, but there is still time to plan the purchase.
You’re a great learner – keep it up.
You are funny. I'm glad your relationship with E is over. Sammy, however, asks that you don't remove it from the alphabet entirely. It's still one of his favorite letters.
You guys are so funny. Perusing the Henrichsen Clan blogs has become quite an adventure.
LOL, LOL!!! Is Mr Peanut ok with you flirting with "F" now?!? Obviously "silly flirtations" can be very troublesome! Bum,bum, bum!!
My husband seems alarmed when I have less than 1/4 tank, and I often wonder, what's the worry? I feel like at least it's not like getting to the dot on the gas guage of the big grey van!! However, his paradigm has influenced mine, and now I usually don't flirt with E.
