"Reacher" is a Prime miniseries reboot of Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher, based on Lee Child's novels, except the original was another case of choosing a short actor to portray a big guy:
The sister-in-law let me in and said "A little communication would be nice."
Ah, being passive aggressive?
No, she went full aggressive. She kept yelling and cursing at my friend, saying that she was happy to make breakfast for them--"
- She didn't act happy.
- As far as I know, she didn't ask if they wanted breakfast.
My friend kept apologizing and the sister-in-law kept yelling the same things over and over and then kept telling her to stay at her dad's place.
The dad has a trailer in a 55+ community half an hour outside of town and she wasn't sure they had fixed the septic system.
I told my friend "Let's get breakfast and then deal with this" and kept guiding her out the door and to the vehicle.
Her sister-in-law yelled and cursed the same things repeatedly, expecting a different result, until we got in the vehicle, so now the whole complex knows the sister-in-law is a raging lunatic.
I told her that she kept saying that, lay off, and she started yelling and cursing at me.
Imagine how much that meant to me.
They decided they wanted Jack in the Box, so I had my phone take us there, and apparently Google chose the eighth-closest one, almost 6 miles away, and then my friend randomly turned, saying "You didn't tell me where to turn."
"We weren't there yet."
It was fine, just weird, and then I needed to ask her to turn left 3 times.
They got breakfast. I had eaten a cup of oatmeal in my room.
Apparently my stomach shrank when I prepped for my procedure.
I seem to have lost 8 pounds since.
My friend wanted to bring her daughters back with me to Show Low, but said that her bags wouldn't fit in my trunk. A friend insisted that it absolutely wasn't true that you needed a credit card to rent a car, so I asked and started to post here asking if Dave Ramsey actually told the truth about something.
I wanted to write "the whole truth," but clearly that wouldn't be the case.
Dave says that you don't need a good credit score to get a mortgage, you just need to find someone willing to do the work.
That sounds like far more work than using a credit card for gas and paying it off every night. Ramsey and his followers insist that if you have credit cards you will get in over your head in credit card debt, but when I called my bank to see if there was anywhere in town I could get a card made the same day the system announced that I had over $200 in credit card debt.
I had around $2,000 in my pocket, plus thousands each in 2 accounts.
I'm not doing great, but I am not in actual debt.
Anyway, I have never heard Baby Stepper mention any difficulties renting a car without a credit card, but that friend told me the last time she tried they wouldn't let her.
The telebanker told me she didn't think that there was anywhere in Phoenix I could have a card made the same day, but I could rent a car from Avail.com with cash.
I cannot rent a car from Avail.com with cash.
Of course, Google says you cannot rent a car without a credit card.
We were across the street from a Uhaul and so we went in and asked if I could rent a car with debit or cash.
Yes.
I said that I wasn't hauling anything, I just needed to get my friends and their bags to Show Low.
The F150s and 10-foot trucks can only be used in-town. He said that the 15-foot trucks were unavailable for one-way trips--and so were the 20-foot trucks.
He sent us to a location in another town.
I rode my bike there and rented an F150 to get to Easter dinner in 2014 when I cut myself badly trying to fix my Civic.
Then my sister tried to lecture me and I left.
She inherited dad's controlling nature and anger issues, but he just seemed happy to be there, and then he tried to follow me when I left, but I was too fast for him.
That is pretty much my last memory of him.
Anyway, I called Uhaul because their site didn't show the change to my reservation and they found me a closer location, but their machine didn't like my debit card--the only machine to get picky during my entire trip--and they couldn't accept cash.
I called Enterprise and asked for the nearest official location. That was a business that also rented out Uhauls.
They sent me back to the place across from Jack in the Box and the guy asked "You wanted a 15-footer?!"
They accepted cash and we were on our way, except I had just wanted to guarantee that I could get a vehicle first.
We still needed to drop off her father's vehicle, and I am unconvinced that my friend remembered how to get there.
We dropped off the key and she cleared out her Alaskan bank account.
I guess she will open one up here--unlike me!
We finally picked up the moving truck. I had wanted her to drive the newer vehicle, while I watched all of the gauges on the one that broke down 2 months ago, but I forgot to mention it while we did the paperwork, and I drove the box truck into the setting sun and towards a snowstorm with only 9 bags to weigh it down.
I wouldn't recommend it, but we made it!
I ran inside for one of my other credit cards and realized that my bank did replace my debit card--a year ago.
I couldn't find either, so my then-girlfriend told me lie and say my cards were damaged so that they didn't cancel my cards, but sent new ones anyway.
However, I found my debit card, and kept using it.
The girls kept saying they wanted to go swimming, but hadn't gone yet, so I got them a room for 2 nights at Super 8, which has an indoor poor. Unfortunately, it is closed indefinitely.
They make a big deal out of their breakfast, but it sounds lame.
It was cheaper than the seedy motel where I stayed and Mom gave them a bag of milk, cereal, snacks, bowls, and plastic utensils.
She really can be nice.
The entire contents of the moving truck fit in one trolley. I had my brother come with us and help them with their luggage.
I bid them goodnight, took him home, ran his bath, took him for a walk, and slept in my own bed.
She found a mobile home available now. Hopefully it is decent. Rent doesn't seem too bad, especially with current trends.
Mom says that I adopted some orphans.
