    Minor injuries, sore as hell, and her husband is an axehole. I blew my cool a little about it setting us back, just as we were going to actually have our own place again.

    Good that it was only minor injuries. It will hurt for a while, then it gets better.

    Yea I was really scared because I got a call from an unknown #, and then about 5 minutes later from her mom. I don't care about the loss of the truck that much, but it does hurt because we are on the verge of recovery from the economy tanking. We have seen each other 8 days in the last 5ish months, and I was really excited that we were past this point.

    I used my new thermos today. Now there are questions.

    Questions on thermos etiquette.

    1) When filling with coffee, does the coffee go in separate from the cream and sweetener, then get shaken, not stirred,
    OR
    Does it all get mixed in separate container then poured in at once?

    2) When drinking coffee, this applies to driving condition, do you pour in a TA style cup?
    It seems the no lid cup provided with thermos was designed by someone who is out of touch with the conditions of our highways at present?

    Coffee was still pretty warm like 12 hours after fill.
