UPDATE

So I just wanted to update on my last two posts:

The body of Jennifer Hampton was found on Saturday in a nearby lake :( about a week after she disappeared. They have arrested two employees of the hotel where she was staying. They have not really revealed many details of what happend. I can't imagine what must have been running through her mind. This just goes to show that no one is safe. Horrible things happen to good people everyday. And it is so scary to think that something like this can happen in my community. Brandon passes the lake where she was found EVERYDAY on his way to work, that will just give you an idea of how CLOSE to home this has hit for me. Quite honestly when I first moved to TN I thought it was going to be ... wholesome. When I think of the South I think of people knowing their neighbors and southern hospitality and although there are people who are nice and friendly, there are always bad people out there and we can't forget that.

And as far as NTB... A day after I sent them the nasty email, the manager from the other Knoxville store called and asked if he could take a look at my car for me. He was very understanding and wanted to help. So I agreed to take my car to him on Sunday. Well I am happy to report that my car is fixed FINALLY! It turns out the strut plate was loose! (whatever that is) The funny thing is that the other location said that is what they thought it was but they said it looked fine to them. Go figure!
Now for a bit of a survey: Brandon thought that I should have given this guy a "tip" for helping me out. His argument, "He didn't have to call you and arrange to fix this but he did and that deserves a tip."
My argument: "Heck-no I already paid them $700. If anything they should tip me for the inconvenience."
My hubby tends to be overly nice an generous when it comes to things like this.
Who do you agree with?

Sorry to hear about jennifer.
I say he could take out his tip from the $700 that you already paid.
