Where's a good street market on a Saturday? That kind of thing is my favorite stuff to do in NY. Is there one at union square? I remember going to a few years ago but I'm sketchy about where they were.
We found two on Saturday last year. One was in Greenwich Village over toward the East Village side of Greenwich. It was more of an artist market---hand crafted jewlery, etc. It wasn't big but there was great stuff there. It was closer to Washington Square than Union Square---sort of inbetween. The road was closed and the booths were in the middle of the street.
A more fake label, flea market, fell off a truck, type market was in Tribeca. It was packed. Very crowded. Watch your purse and pockets. Someone pick-pocketed my city map from my pocket. I guess they thought it was cash. LOL This one was along the sidewalks for many blocks.
I feel so LOST. My car started making a weird noise the other day, its a brand new car. It was a knocking noise, and it didn't do it for long and it quit but my mom's car made it and then her car died and the engine went out and it freaks me out.
I have no one to go with me to the dealership to get this looked at, I have no one to help me through this all, I shouldn't be just thrown into the dark when it comes to something as important as the maintenance of my car.
My mom won't help me, she won't even drive over to the dealership with me tomorrow so I don't have to walk back home from Arapahoe road to where I live because I have to go in tomorrow at 9am and leave it for the day. Postponing my trip yet another day.
My mom and I got into another fight, she told me she wishes I was dead and just how much she hates me.
I'm taking it in tomorrow at 9am, I don't know how to deal with all this or really what to say or whatever, and then the dude wants me to leave my car the whole day so now I have to walk home , there's no one to help me out.
I just wanna cry.
I want to be at my grandmothers already, I hate it here.
OHHH and my mom was yelling at calling me a bish, telling me she hated me, told me she wished I was dead and hopes I never come back (my grandmother heard it all) and then when I yelled back she called her dad (without me knowing) SAID NOTHING and just let him listen to me yell. So its taking it all out of context. Its low.

This is how you learn about car maintenance. Nobody holds your hand. You take your car to the dealership or a mechanic and you deal with it. If what they say doesn't make sense, you get a second opinion. Call people on the phone and ask them if what the mechanic is saying makes sense. Google it and research it. I've diagnosed my own car problems on the internet many times.
Honey, if this is a new car, it has a warranty. Be glad for that. It's not like they are going to be scamming you out of money----if they're scamming, they'll scam the warranty out of money.

I think you're being paranoid about it. I'm not insulting you. I was the same way when I was young and didn't know anything about cars. At your age, I would have freaked and taken it in too. I would have paid money I didn't need to pay. Today, I'd drive the darn thing if the noise went way. I'd wait to see if the noise came back before I bothered to have it checked.
While the things your mother is saying sound very harsh, it also sounds like you are being extremely immature and annoying to her.
Get a grip. This is part of car ownership. Learn how to cope.

There is an AWESOME flea market in Brooklyn. It has all kinds of hand crafted jewelry and food. It's really awesome.
Evening all....my nemesis the wind has picked up again this afternoon....grrr....
Getting ready to head out to DS's lacrosse banquet tonight. Should be fun. The first year we went (his freshman year) we really didn't know very many of the parents or kids since it was a new sport for DS. We didn't go last year because he was working and the schedule couldn't be rearranged to accomodate (or maybe he was so new he didn't feel he could ask...not sure)..This year, we know most of the kids and parents and coaches so it will be much more enjoyable. One of the graduating seniors is the son of my friend who gets us together to "support the troops" we've known him since he was probably in 3rd or 4th grade. Will be bittersweet....This time of year is that way. We're starting to get graduation announcements and party invites.....I see the names and just want to ...
How does your son like lacrosse? My son will be in 6th grade next year and the school offers a semi-competitive team (practices for a six week span then a tournament over a two week span with the other middle schools in our district)- he's thinking about joining the team. Good sport?? Worth a go for an athletic kid looking for something new to try?

Straw - DS has really enjoyed lacrosse. He picked it up as a freshman when he didn't make the baseball team. It has been a great experience for him as well as a good lesson that when things happen that seem to be the end of the world you can choose to wallow in self pity or you can pick up and do something else and create an opportunity. DS is an athletic kid and is happiest when he's doing something physical. We're so grateful he was invited to try lacrosse!
My son played almost every sport from K through 6th grade. He'd play one sport for a year or two and switch to another. In 7th grade, he played lacrosse for the first time. He LOVED it. It was the only sport he was interested in playing and played until he graduated. It's a great sport. Lacrosse attracts kids with great attitudes too, IMO. Lacrosse is definitely worth trying if your son is interested.
